Versliste
For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.Hear my cry, O God;Attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart {Or, fainteth}is overwhelmed:Lead me to {Or, a rock that is too high for me}the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a refuge for me,A strong tower from the enemy.
I will dwell in thy {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle for ever:I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:Thou hast {Or, given a heritage unto those &c.}given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Thou wilt prolong the king's life;His years shall be as many generations.
He shall abide before God for ever:Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,That I may daily perform my vows.
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.My soul {Hebrew: is silent unto God.}waiteth in silence for God only:From him cometh my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation:He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
How long will ye set upon a man, {Or, as otherwise read. Ye shall be slain &c.}That ye may slay him, all of you,Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;They delight in lies;They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah
My soul, {Hebrew: be thou silent unto God.}wait thou in silence for God only;For my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation:He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
With God is my salvation and my glory:The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times, ye people;Pour out your heart before him:God is a refuge for us. [Selah
Surely men of low degree are {Hebrew: a breath.}vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:In the balances they will go up;They are together lighter than {Hebrew: a breath.}vanity.
Trust not in oppression,And become not vain in robbery:If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
God hath spoken once,Twice have I heard this,That power belongeth unto God.
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!Many are they that rise up against me.
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
