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.
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.
I may count all my bones.They look and stare upon me;
They part my garments among them,And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
But be not thou far off, O Jehovah:O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
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.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren:In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;Neither hath he hid his face from him;But when he cried unto him, he heard.
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
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.Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;He leadeth me beside {Hebrew: waters of rest.}still waters.
He restoreth my soul:He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of {Or, deep darkness (and so elsewhere)}the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:Thou hast anointed my head with oil;My cup runneth over.
{Or, Only}Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life;And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah {Hebrew: for length of days.}for ever.
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

Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.
