1Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.3Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;4If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)5Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.6Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.7And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.8Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.9Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous man; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.10My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.11God is a righteous judge, and a *God who is indignant all the day.12If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,13And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:15He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.17I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.1Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.3When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?5Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.6Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:7Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;8The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.9Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.1I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.2I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.3When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.6O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. -- Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.7But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.8And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.9And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.10And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.11Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.12For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.13Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:14That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.16Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.17The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.18For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.19Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.20Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
