1Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.4Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.5For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.6Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.7Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.8Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.

A Psalm of David.1Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;2Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the *God of glory thundereth, -- Jehovah upon great waters.4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.5The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:6And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!10Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.1I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.2Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.3Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.4Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.5For a moment is passed in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.7Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.8I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:9What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?10Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;12That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
