For the Chief Musician; set to {That is, The hind of the morning.}Aijeleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David.My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? {Or, Far from my help are the words of my groaning Hebrew: roaring.}Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not;And in the night season, {Or, but find no rest}and am not silent.
But thou art holy,O thou that {Or, art enthroned upon}inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in thee:They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered:They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
But I am a worm, and no man;A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn:They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
{Or, He trusted on Jehovah, that he would deliver him}Commit thyself unto Jehovah; let him deliver him:Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
But thou art he that took me out of the womb;Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
I was cast upon thee from the womb;Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
Be not far from me; for trouble is near;For there is none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me;Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
They gape upon me with their mouth,As a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water,And all my bones are out of joint:My heart is like wax;It is melted within me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd;And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me:A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; {So the Septuagint Version, Vulgate, and Syriac. The Hebrew text as pointed reads, Like a lion, my &c.}They pierced my hands and my feet.

Deliver my soul from the sword,My {Or, dear life Hebrew: only one.}darling from the power of the dog.
Save me from the lion's mouth;Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied;They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:Let your heart live for ever.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
For the kingdom is Jehovah's;And he is the ruler over the nations.
All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship:All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him,Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
A seed shall serve him;It shall be {Or, counted unto the Lord for his generations}told of the Lord unto the next generation.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousnessUnto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.
A Psalm of David.The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof;The world, and they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas,And established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah?And who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood,And hath not sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah,And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek after him,That seek thy face, even Jacob. [Selah
Lift up your heads, O ye gates;And be ye lifted up, ye {Or ancient,}everlasting doors:And the King of glory will come in.
Who is the King of glory?Jehovah strong and mighty,Jehovah mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates;Yea, lift them up, ye {Or ancient,}everlasting doors:And the King of glory will come in.
Who is this King of glory?Jehovah of hosts,He is the King of glory. [Selah
For the Chief Musician; set to {That is, Lilies}Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.Save me, O God;For the waters are come in unto my soul.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:They that would cut me off, being mine enemies {Hebrew: falsely.}wrongfully, are mighty:That which I took not away I have to restore.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness;And my {Hebrew: guiltinesses.}sins are not hid from thee.
Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;Shame hath covered my face.
I am become a stranger unto my brethren,And an alien unto my mother's children.
For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,That was to my reproach.
When I made sackcloth my clothing,I became a byword unto them.
They that sit in the gate talk of me;And I am the song of the drunkards.
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,Neither let the deep swallow me up;And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
And hide not thy face from thy servant;For I am in distress; answer me speedily.
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:Ransom me because of mine enemies.
Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:Mine adversaries are all before thee.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am {Or, sore sick}full of heaviness:And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;And for comforters, but I found none.
They gave me also gall for my food;And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Let their table before them become a snare;And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see;And make their loins continually to shake.
Pour out thine indignation upon them,And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
Let their {Or, encampment}habitation be desolate;Let none dwell in their tents.
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;And they tell of the {Or, pain}sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
Add iniquity unto their iniquity;And let them not come into thy righteousness.
Let them be blotted out of the book of {Or, the living}life,And not be written with the righteous.
But I am poor and {Or, in pain}sorrowful:Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
I will praise the name of God with a song,And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
And it will please Jehovah better than an ox,Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
The meek have seen it, and are glad:Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

He will judge the poor of the people,He will save the children of the needy,And will break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,And {Hebrew: before the moon.}so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,As showers that water the earth.
In his days shall the righteous flourish,And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;And his enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute:The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him;All nations shall serve him.

He will have pity on the {Or, weak}poor and needy,And the souls of the needy he will save.
He will redeem their soul from {Or, fraud}oppression and violence;And precious will their blood be in his sight:
And {Or, he }they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:And men shall pray for him continually; {Or, he}They shall bless him all the day long.
There shall be {Or, a handful}abundance of grain in the {Or, land}earth upon the top of the mountains;The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
His name shall endure for ever;His name shall {Or, have issue}be continued {Hebrew: before the sun.}as long as the sun:And men shall {Or, bless themselves}be blessed in him;All nations shall call him happy.
Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,Who only doeth wondrous things:
And blessed be his glorious name for ever;And let the whole earth be filled with his glory.Amen, and Amen.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me:They have spoken {Or, against}unto me with a lying tongue.
They have compassed me about also with words of hatred,And fought against me without a cause.
For my love they are my adversaries:But I give myself unto prayer.
And they have {Hebrew: laid upon me.}rewarded me evil for good,And hatred for my love.
Set thou a wicked man over him;And let {Or, Satan Or, an accuser}an adversary stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, let him come forth guilty;And let his prayer {Or, become}be turned into sin.
Let his days be few;And let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless,And his wife a widow.
Let his children be vagabonds, and beg;And let them seek their bread {Or, far from}out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner {Hebrew: snare.}catch all that he hath;And let strangers make spoil of his labor.
Let there be none to {Or, continued}extend kindness unto him;Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off;In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah;And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before Jehovah continually,That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
Because he remembered not to show kindness,But persecuted the poor and needy man,And the broken in heart, to slay them.
Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him;And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment,And it came into his inward parts like water,And like oil into his bones.
Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself,And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah,And of them that speak evil against my soul.
But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake:Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
For I am poor and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.
I am gone like the shadow when it {Or, is stretched out}declineth:I am tossed up and down as the locust.
My knees {Or, totter}are weak through fasting;And my flesh faileth of fatness.
I am become also a reproach unto them:When they see me, they shake their head.
Help me, O Jehovah my God;Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
