1¤ O Lord, my God, in thee have I put my trust; save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.2Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.3O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:4If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.5Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life, on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.6Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:7And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.8The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.9The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought; and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.10Just is my help from the Lord; who saveth the upright of heart.11God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?12Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.13And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.14Behold he hath been in labour with injustice: he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.15He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made.16His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.17I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm for David. The presses. . .In Hebrew, Gittith, supposed to be a musical instrument.1¤ O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.2Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.3For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?5Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:6And hast set him over the works of thy hands.7Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover, the beasts also of the fields.8The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.9O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!

Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. The hidden things of the Son. . .The humility and sufferings of Christ, the Son of God; and of good Christians, who are his sons by adoption; are called hidden things, with regard to the children of this world, who know not the value and merit of them.1¤ I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.2I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.3When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.4For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.5Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.6The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:7But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:8And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.9And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.10And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.11Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:12For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.13Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.14Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.15I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.16The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.17The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.18For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.19Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.20Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
