1Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.3For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.4I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name.6Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.7He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.8So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.1Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.2He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.3How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.5Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.6He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.7With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.8Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.9Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.10Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.11Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God.12And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.

A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.1O God, thou art my *God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:2To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;3For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.4So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.6When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:7For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth;10They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
