A Psalm of David.Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle?Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,And speaketh truth in his heart;
{Or, He slandereth}He that slandereth not with his tongue,Nor doeth evil to his friend,Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;
In {Or, his…he}whose eyes a reprobate is despised,But {Or, his…he}who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; {Or, He sweareth}He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
{Or, He putteth}He that putteth not out his money to interest,Nor taketh reward against the innocent.He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
A Psalm of David.Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, in thee have I trusted,Let me not be put to shame;Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;Teach me thy paths.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;For thou art the God of my salvation;For thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;For they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me,For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
Good and upright is Jehovah:Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in justice;And the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truthUnto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
What man is he that feareth Jehovah?Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease;And his seed shall inherit the land.
The {Or, counsel Or, secret}friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; {Or, And his covenat, to make them know it}And he will show them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;For I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are {Or, as otherwise read, relieve thou, And bring me &c.}enlarged:Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
Consider mine affliction and my travail;And forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies, for they are many;And they hate me with cruel hatred.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,For I wait for thee.
Redeem Israel, O God,Out of all of his troubles.
A Psalm of David. Maschil.Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,And in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted awayThrough my {Hebrew: roaring.}groaning all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:My moisture was changed {Or, into the}as with the drought of summer. [Selah
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,And mine iniquity did I not hide:I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee {Or, in the time of finding out sin}in a time when thou mayest be found:Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, {Or, That they come not near}Else they will not come near unto thee.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous;And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.O Jehovah, our Lord,How excellent is thy name in all the earth,Who hast set thy glory {Or, above}upon the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,Because of thine adversaries,That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him but little lower than {Or, the angels Hebrew: Elohim.}God,And crownest him with glory and honor.
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;Thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen,Yea, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah, our Lord,How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Why do the nations {Or, tumultuously assemble}rage,And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,And the rulers take counsel together,Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bonds asunder,And cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:The Lord will have them in derision.
Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,And {Or, trouble}vex them in his sore displeasure:
Yet I have set my kingUpon my holy hill of Zion.
I will tell of the decree:Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;This day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve Jehovah with fear,And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,For his wrath {Or, may}will soon be kindled. {Or, Happy}Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.
