1Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.2From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.3For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.4I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.5For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.6Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.7He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.8So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David.1Only -- toward God is my soul silent, From Him is my salvation.2Only -- He is my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.3Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.4Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.5Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him is my hope.6Only -- He is my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.7On God is my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.8Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God is a refuge for us. Selah.9Only -- vanity are the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity are lighter.10Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.11Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength is with God.'12And with Thee, O Lord, is kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!

A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah.1O God, Thou art my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.2So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.3Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.4So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.5As with milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And with singing lips doth my mouth praise.6If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I meditate on Thee.7For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.8Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.9And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.10They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.11And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
