American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
A Prayer of David.Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;For I am poor and needy.
Preserve my soul; for I am godly:O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord;For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant;For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;For thou wilt answer me.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;And they shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:Thou art God alone.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;I will walk in thy truth:Unite my heart to fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
O God, the proud are risen up against me,And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,And have not set thee before them.
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
Oh turn unto me, and {Or, be gracious unto}have mercy upon me;Give thy strength unto thy servant,And save the son of thy handmaid.
Show me a token for good,That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.O God, keep not thou silence:Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
They take crafty counsel against thy people,And consult together against thy hidden ones.
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent;Against thee do they make a covenant:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;Moab, and the {Or, Hagrites See 1 Chronicles 5:10.}Hagarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
Assyria also is joined with them;They have {Hebrew: been an arm to the children of Lot.}helped the children of Lot. [Selah
Do thou unto them as unto Midian,As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
Who perished at Endor,Who became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possessionThe {Or, pastures}habitations of God.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust;As stubble before the wind.
As the fire that burneth the forest,And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with thy tempest,And terrify them with thy storm.
Fill their faces with confusion,That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
That they may know that {Or, thou whose name alone is Jehovah, art &c.}thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,Art the Most High over all the earth.
