Then answeredH6030 oneH259 of the servantsH5288, and saidH559, Behold, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022, that is cunningH3045 in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 valiant manH2428, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudentH995 in mattersH1697, and a comelyH8389 personH376, and the LORDH3068 is with him. {matters: or, speech}
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And DavidH1732 lamentedH6969 with this lamentationH7015 over SaulH7586 and over JonathanH3083 his sonH1121:
(Also he badeH559 them teachH3925 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 the use of the bowH7198: behold, it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477.) {of Jasher: or, of the upright}
And DavidH1732 and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 on all manner of instruments made of firH1265 woodH6086, even on harpsH3658, and on psalteriesH5035, and on timbrelsH8596, and on cornetsH4517, and on cymbalsH6767.
Now these be the lastH314 wordsH1697 of DavidH1732. DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 saidH5002, and the manH1397 who was raised upH6965 on highH5920, the anointedH4899 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290, and the sweetH5273 psalmistH2158 of IsraelH3478, saidH5002,
And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975 on their officesH4931: the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the LORDH3068, which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to praiseH3034 the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769, when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministryH3027; and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690+H2690 before them, and all IsraelH3478 stoodH5975. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 hearH6030 thee in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; the nameH8034 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290 defendH7682 thee; {defend…: Heb. set thee on an high place}
SendH7971 thee helpH5828 from the sanctuaryH6944, and strengthenH5582 thee out of ZionH6726; {thee help: Heb. thy help} {strengthen: Heb. support}
RememberH2142 all thy offeringsH4503, and acceptH1878 thy burnt sacrificeH5930; SelahH5542. {accept: Heb. turn to ashes: or, make fat}
GrantH5414 thee according to thine own heartH3824, and fulfilH4390 all thy counselH6098.
We will rejoiceH7442 in thy salvationH3444, and in the nameH8034 of our GodH430 we will set up our bannersH1713: the LORDH3068 fulfilH4390 all thy petitionsH4862.
Now knowH3045 I that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 his anointedH4899; he will hearH6030 him from his holyH6944 heavenH8064 with the savingH3468 strengthH1369 of his right handH3225. {his holy…: Heb. the heaven of his holiness} {with…: Heb. by the strength of the salvation of}
Some trust in chariotsH7393, and some in horsesH5483: but we will rememberH2142 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
They are brought downH3766 and fallenH5307: but we are risenH6965, and stand uprightH5749.
SaveH3467, LORDH3068: let the kingH4428 hearH6030 us whenH3117 we callH7121.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The kingH4428 shall joyH8055 in thy strengthH5797, O LORDH3068; and in thy salvationH3444 how greatlyH3966 shall he rejoiceH1523!
Thou hast givenH5414 him his heart'sH3820 desireH8378, and hast not withholdenH4513 the requestH782 of his lipsH8193. SelahH5542.
For thou preventestH6923 him with the blessingsH1293 of goodnessH2896: thou settestH7896 a crownH5850 of pure goldH6337 on his headH7218.
He askedH7592 lifeH2416 of thee, and thou gavestH5414 it him, even lengthH753 of daysH3117 for everH5769 and everH5703.
His gloryH3519 is greatH1419 in thy salvationH3444: honourH1935 and majestyH1926 hast thou laidH7737 upon him.
For thou hast madeH7896 him most blessedH1293 for everH5703: thou hast madeH2302 him exceeding gladH8057 with thy countenanceH6440. {made him most…: Heb. set him to be blessings} {made him exceeding…: Heb. make him glad with joy}
For the kingH4428 trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, and through the mercyH2617 of the most HighH5945 he shall not be movedH4131.
Thine handH3027 shall find outH4672 all thine enemiesH341: thy right handH3225 shall find outH4672 those that hateH8130 thee.
Thou shalt makeH7896 them as a fieryH784 ovenH8574 in the timeH6256 of thine angerH6440: the LORDH3068 shall swallow them upH1104 in his wrathH639, and the fireH784 shall devourH398 them.
Their fruitH6529 shalt thou destroyH6 from the earthH776, and their seedH2233 from among the childrenH1121 of menH120.
For they intendedH5186 evilH7451 against thee: they imaginedH2803 a mischievous deviceH4209, which they are not ableH3201 to perform.
Therefore shalt thou makeH7896 them turn their backH7926, when thou shalt make readyH3559 thine arrows upon thy stringsH4340 against the faceH6440 of them. {shalt thou…: or, thou shalt set them as a butt} {back: Heb. shoulder}
Be thou exaltedH7311, LORDH3068, in thine own strengthH5797: so will we singH7891 and praiseH2167 thy powerH1369.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The earthH776 is the LORD'SH3068, and the fulnessH4393 thereof; the worldH8398, and they that dwellH3427 therein.
For he hath foundedH3245 it upon the seasH3220, and establishedH3559 it upon the floodsH5104.
Who shall ascendH5927 into the hillH2022 of the LORDH3068? or who shall standH6965 in his holyH6944 placeH4725?
He that hath cleanH5355 handsH3709, and a pureH1249 heartH3824; who hath not lifted upH5375 his soulH5315 unto vanityH7723, nor swornH7650 deceitfullyH4820. {He…: Heb. The clean of hands}
He shall receiveH5375 the blessingH1293 from the LORDH3068, and righteousnessH6666 from the GodH430 of his salvationH3468.
This is the generationH1755 of them that seekH1875 him, that seekH1245 thy faceH6440, O JacobH3290. SelahH5542. {O Jacob: or, O God of Jacob}
Lift upH5375 your headsH7218, O ye gatesH8179; and be ye lift upH5375, ye everlastingH5769 doorsH6607; and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come inH935.
Who is this KingH4428 of gloryH3519? The LORDH3068 strongH5808 and mightyH1368, the LORDH3068 mightyH1368 in battleH4421.
Lift upH5375 your headsH7218, O ye gatesH8179; even lift them upH5375, ye everlastingH5769 doorsH6607; and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come inH935.
Who is this KingH4428 of gloryH3519? The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, he is the KingH4428 of gloryH3519. SelahH5542.
A Psalm for SolomonH8010. GiveH5414 the kingH4428 thy judgmentsH4941, O GodH430, and thy righteousnessH6666 unto the king'sH4428 sonH1121. {for: or, of}
He shall judgeH1777 thy peopleH5971 with righteousnessH6664, and thy poorH6041 with judgmentH4941.
The mountainsH2022 shall bringH5375 peaceH7965 to the peopleH5971, and the little hillsH1389, by righteousnessH6666.
He shall judgeH8199 the poorH6041 of the peopleH5971, he shall saveH3467 the childrenH1121 of the needyH34, and shall break in piecesH1792 the oppressorH6231.
They shall fearH3372 thee as long asH5973 the sunH8121 and moonH3394 endureH6440, throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
He shall come downH3381 like rainH4306 upon the mownH1488 grass: as showersH7241 that waterH2222 the earthH776.
In his daysH3117 shall the righteousH6662 flourishH6524; and abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965 so long as the moonH3394 endureth. {so long…: Heb. till there be no moon}
He shall have dominionH7287 also from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.
They that dwell in the wildernessH6728 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him; and his enemiesH341 shall lickH3897 the dustH6083.
The kingsH4428 of TarshishH8659 and of the islesH339 shall bringH7725 presentsH4503: the kingsH4428 of ShebaH7614 and SebaH5434 shall offerH7126 giftsH814.
Yea, all kingsH4428 shall fall downH7812 before him: all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him.
For he shall deliverH5337 the needyH34 when he criethH7768; the poorH6041 also, and him that hath no helperH5826.
He shall spareH2347 the poorH1800 and needyH34, and shall saveH3467 the soulsH5315 of the needyH34.
He shall redeemH1350 their soulH5315 from deceitH8496 and violenceH2555: and preciousH3365 shall their bloodH1818 be in his sightH5869.
And he shall liveH2421, and to him shall be givenH5414 of the goldH2091 of ShebaH7614: prayer also shall be madeH6419 for him continuallyH8548; and dailyH3117 shall he be praisedH1288. {shall be given: Heb. one shall give}
There shall be an handfulH6451 of cornH1250 in the earthH776 upon the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022; the fruitH6529 thereof shall shakeH7493 like LebanonH3844: and they of the cityH5892 shall flourishH6692 like grassH6212 of the earthH776.
His nameH8034 shall endure for everH5769: his nameH8034 shall be continuedH5125+H5125 as long asH6440 the sunH8121: and men shall be blessedH1288 in him: all nationsH1471 shall call him blessedH833. {endure: Heb. be} {his name shall be…: Heb. shall be as a son to continue his father's name for ever}

And blessedH1288 be his gloriousH3519 nameH8034 for everH5769: and let the whole earthH776 be filledH4390 with his gloryH3519; AmenH543, and AmenH543.
The prayersH8605 of DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 are endedH3615.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
He shall judgeH1777 among the heathenH1471, he shall fillH4390 the places with the dead bodiesH1472; he shall woundH4272 the headsH7218 over manyH7227 countriesH776. {many: or, great}
He shall drinkH8354 of the brookH5158 in the wayH1870: therefore shall he lift upH7311 the headH7218.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 ShaharH7837, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
But thou art holyH6918, O thou that inhabitestH3427 the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in thee: they trustedH982, and thou didst deliverH6403 them.
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
But I am a wormH8438, and no manH376; a reproachH2781 of menH120, and despisedH959 of the peopleH5971.
All they that seeH7200 me laugh me to scornH3932: they shoot outH6358 the lipH8193, they shakeH5128 the headH7218, saying, {shoot…: Heb. open}
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738. {gaped…: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.
But be not thou farH7368 from me, O LORDH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 him; all ye the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, all ye the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478.
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
My praiseH8416 shall be of thee in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 before them that fearH3373 him.
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646: they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for everH5703.
All the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: and all the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee.
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD'SH3068: and he is the governorH4910 among the nationsH1471.
All they that be fatH1879 upon earthH776 shall eatH398 and worshipH7812: all they that go downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and none can keep aliveH2421 his own soulH5315.
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generationH1755.
They shall comeH935, and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 unto a peopleH5971 that shall be bornH3205, that he hath doneH6213 this.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 is my shepherdH7462; I shall not wantH2637.
He maketh me to lie downH7257 in greenH1877 pasturesH4999: he leadethH5095 me beside the stillH4496 watersH4325. {green…: Heb. pastures of tender grass} {still…: Heb. waters of quietness}
He restorethH7725 my soulH5315: he leadethH5148 me in the pathsH4570 of righteousnessH6664 for his name'sH8034 sake.
Yea, though I walkH3212 through the valleyH1516 of the shadow of deathH6757, I will fearH3372 no evilH7451: for thou art with me; thy rodH7626 and thy staffH4938 they comfortH5162 me.
Thou preparestH6186 a tableH7979 beforeH6440 me in the presence of mine enemiesH6887: thou anointestH1878 my headH7218 with oilH8081; my cupH3563 runneth overH7310. {anointest: Heb. makest fat}
Surely goodnessH2896 and mercyH2617 shall followH7291 me all the daysH3117 of my lifeH2416: and I will dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 for everH753+H3117. {for ever: Heb. to length of days}
For in the timeH3117 of troubleH7451 he shall hideH6845 me in his pavilionH5520: in the secretH5643 of his tabernacleH168 shall he hideH5641 me; he shall set me upH7311 upon a rockH6697.
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou art veryH3966 greatH1431; thou art clothedH3847 with honourH1935 and majestyH1926.
Who coverestH5844 thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008: who stretchest outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407:
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
Who makethH6213 his angelsH4397 spiritsH7307; his ministersH8334 a flamingH3857 fireH784:
Who laidH3245 the foundationsH4349 of the earthH776, that it should not be removedH4131 for everH5769+H5703. {Who…: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}
Thou coveredstH3680 it with the deepH8415 as with a garmentH3830: the watersH4325 stoodH5975 above the mountainsH2022.
AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 away.
They go upH5927 by the mountainsH2022; they go downH3381 by the valleysH1237 unto the placeH4725 whichH2088 thou hast foundedH3245 for them. {They go up…: or, The mountains ascend, the valleys descend}
Thou hast setH7760 a boundH1366 that they may not pass overH5674; that they turn not againH7725 to coverH3680 the earthH776.
He sendethH7971 the springsH4599 into the valleysH5158, which runH1980 among the hillsH2022. {He: Heb. Who} {run: Heb. walk}
They give drinkH8248 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704: the wild assesH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772. {quench: Heb. break}
By them shall the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 have their habitationH7931, which singH5414+H6963 amongH996 the branchesH6073. {sing: Heb. give a voice}
He waterethH8248 the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.
He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776;
And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670, and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582 man'sH582 heartH3824. {oil…: Heb. to make his face shine with oil, or, more than oil}
The treesH6086 of the LORDH3068 are fullH7646 of sap; the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, which he hath plantedH5193;
Where the birdsH6833 make their nestsH7077: as for the storkH2624, the fir treesH1265 are her houseH1004.
The highH1364 hillsH2022 are a refugeH4268 for the wild goatsH3277; and the rocksH5553 for the coniesH8227.
He appointedH6213 the moonH3394 for seasonsH4150: the sunH8121 knowethH3045 his going downH3996.
Thou makestH7896 darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forth. {beasts…: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest}
The young lionsH3715 roarH7580 after their preyH2964, and seekH1245 their meatH400 from GodH410.
The sunH8121 arisethH2224, they gather themselves togetherH622, and lay them downH7257 in their densH4585.
ManH120 goeth forthH3318 unto his workH6467 and to his labourH5656 until the eveningH6153.
O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
So is this greatH1419 and wideH7342+H3027 seaH3220, wherein are things creepingH7431 innumerableH4557, both smallH6996 and greatH1419 beastsH2416.
There goH1980 the shipsH591: there is that leviathanH3882, whom thou hast madeH3335 to playH7832 therein. {made: Heb. formed}
These waitH7663 all upon thee; that thou mayest giveH5414 them their meatH400 in due seasonH6256.
That thou givestH5414 them they gatherH3950: thou openestH6605 thine handH3027, they are filledH7646 with goodH2896.
Thou hidestH5641 thy faceH6440, they are troubledH926: thou takest awayH622 their breathH7307, they dieH1478, and returnH7725 to their dustH6083.
Thou sendestH7971 forth thy spiritH7307, they are createdH1254: and thou renewestH2318 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
The gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall endure for everH5769: the LORDH3068 shall rejoiceH8055 in his worksH4639. {endure: Heb. be}
He lookethH5027 on the earthH776, and it tremblethH7460: he touchethH5060 the hillsH2022, and they smokeH6225.
I will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068 as long as I liveH2416: I will singH2167 praise to my GodH430 while I have my beingH5750.
My meditationH7879 of him shall be sweetH6149: I will be gladH8055 in the LORDH3068.
Let the sinnersH2400 be consumedH8552 out of the earthH776, and let the wickedH7563 be no more. BlessH1288 thou the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; callH7121 upon his nameH8034: make knownH3045 his deedsH5949 among the peopleH5971.
SingH7891 unto him, sing psalmsH2167 unto him: talkH7878 ye of all his wondrous worksH6381.
GloryH1984 ye in his holyH6944 nameH8034: let the heartH3820 of them rejoiceH8055 that seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5797: seekH1245 his faceH6440 evermoreH8548.
RememberH2142 his marvellous worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213; his wondersH4159, and the judgmentsH4941 of his mouthH6310;
O ye seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 his servantH5650, ye childrenH1121 of JacobH3290 his chosenH972.
He is the LORDH3068 our GodH430: his judgmentsH4941 are in all the earthH776.
He hath rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 for everH5769, the wordH1697 which he commandedH6680 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755.
Which covenant he madeH3772 with AbrahamH85, and his oathH7621 unto IsaacH3446;
And confirmedH5975 the same unto JacobH3290 for a lawH2706, and to IsraelH3478 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285:
SayingH559, Unto thee will I giveH5414 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the lotH2256 of your inheritanceH5159: {lot: Heb. cord}
When they were but a few menH4962 in numberH4557; yea, very fewH4592, and strangersH1481 in it.
When they wentH1980 from one nationH1471 to another, from one kingdomH4467 to anotherH312 peopleH5971;
He sufferedH3240 no manH120 to do them wrongH6231: yea, he reprovedH3198 kingsH4428 for their sakes;
Saying, TouchH5060 not mine anointedH4899, and do my prophetsH5030 no harmH7489.
Moreover he calledH7121 for a famineH7458 upon the landH776: he brakeH7665 the whole staffH4294 of breadH3899.
He sentH7971 a manH376 beforeH6440 them, even JosephH3130, who was soldH4376 for a servantH5650:
Whose feetH7272 they hurtH6031 with fettersH3525: heH5315 was laidH935 in ironH1270: {he…: Heb. his soul came into iron}
Until the timeH6256 that his wordH1697 cameH935: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 triedH6884 him.
The kingH4428 sentH7971 and loosedH5425 him; even the rulerH4910 of the peopleH5971, and let him go freeH6605.
He madeH7760 him lordH113 of his houseH1004, and rulerH4910 of all his substanceH7075: {substance: Heb. possession}
To bindH631 his princesH8269 at his pleasureH5315; and teach his senatorsH2205 wisdomH2449.
IsraelH3478 also cameH935 into EgyptH4714; and JacobH3290 sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of HamH2526.
And he increasedH6509 his peopleH5971 greatlyH3966; and made them strongerH6105 than their enemiesH6862.
He turnedH2015 their heartH3820 to hateH8130 his peopleH5971, to deal subtillyH5230 with his servantsH5650.
He sentH7971 MosesH4872 his servantH5650; and AaronH175 whom he had chosenH977.
They shewedH7760 his signsH226+H1697 among them, and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of HamH2526. {his…: Heb. words of his signs}
He sentH7971 darknessH2822, and made it darkH2821; and they rebelledH4784 not against his wordH1697.
He turnedH2015 their watersH4325 into bloodH1818, and slewH4191 their fishH1710.
Their landH776 brought forthH8317 frogsH6854 in abundanceH8317, in the chambersH2315 of their kingsH4428.
He spakeH559, and there cameH935 divers sorts of fliesH6157, and liceH3654 in all their coastsH1366.
He gaveH5414 them hailH1259 for rainH1653, and flamingH3852 fireH784 in their landH776. {them…: Heb. their rain hail}
He smoteH5221 their vinesH1612 also and their fig treesH8384; and brakeH7665 the treesH6086 of their coastsH1366.
He spakeH559, and the locustsH697 cameH935, and caterpillersH3218, and that without numberH4557,
And did eat upH398 all the herbsH6212 in their landH776, and devouredH398 the fruitH6529 of their groundH127.
He smoteH5221 also all the firstbornH1060 in their landH776, the chiefH7225 of all their strengthH202.
He brought them forthH3318 also with silverH3701 and goldH2091: and there was not one feebleH3782 person among their tribesH7626.
EgyptH4714 was gladH8055 when they departedH3318: for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon them.
He spreadH6566 a cloudH6051 for a coveringH4539; and fireH784 to give lightH215 in the nightH3915.
The people askedH7592, and he broughtH935 quailsH7958, and satisfiedH7646 them with the breadH3899 of heavenH8064.
He openedH6605 the rockH6697, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100; they ranH1980 in the dry placesH6723 like a riverH5104.
For he rememberedH2142 his holyH6944 promiseH1697, and AbrahamH85 his servantH5650.
And he brought forthH3318 his peopleH5971 with joyH8342, and his chosenH972 with gladnessH7440: {gladness: Heb. singing}
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
That they might observeH8104 his statutesH2706, and keepH5341 his lawsH8451. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
RememberH2142 me, O LORDH3068, with the favourH7522 that thou bearest unto thy peopleH5971: O visitH6485 me with thy salvationH3444;
That I may seeH7200 the goodH2896 of thy chosenH972, that I may rejoiceH8055 in the gladnessH8057 of thy nationH1471, that I may gloryH1984 with thine inheritanceH5159.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.
They soonH4116 forgatH7911 his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 not for his counselH6098: {They soon…: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
Wondrous worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible thingsH3372 by the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH8045 them, had notH3884 MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turn awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.
Yea, they despisedH3988 the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 not his wordH1697: {the pleasant…: Heb. a land of desire}
But murmuredH7279 in their tentsH168, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore he lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against them, to overthrowH5307 them in the wildernessH4057: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
To overthrowH5307 their seedH2233 also among the nationsH1471, and to scatterH2219 them in the landsH776. {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
Thus they provoked him to angerH3707 with their inventionsH4611: and the plagueH4046 brake inH6555 upon them.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
They angeredH7107 him also at the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809, so that it went illH3415 with MosesH4872 for their sakes:
Because they provokedH4784 his spiritH7307, so that he spake unadvisedlyH981 with his lipsH8193.
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were brought into subjectionH3665 under their handH3027.
ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they provokedH4784 him with their counselH6098, and were brought lowH4355 for their iniquityH5771. {brought…: or, impoverished, or, weakened}
Nevertheless he regardedH7200 their afflictionH6862, when he heardH8085 their cryH7440:
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
He madeH5414 them also to be pitiedH7356 ofH6440 all those that carried them captivesH7617.
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769: and let all the peopleH5971 sayH559, AmenH543. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
RememberH2142 me, O LORDH3068, with the favourH7522 that thou bearest unto thy peopleH5971: O visitH6485 me with thy salvationH3444;

MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, thisG5026 scriptureG1124 mustG1163 needs have been fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 spake beforeG4277 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, whichG3588 wasG1096 guideG3595 to them that tookG4815 JesusG2424.
ForG3754 he wasG2258 numberedG2674 withG4862 usG2254, andG2532 had obtainedG2975 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248.
NowG3303+G3767 this manG3778 purchasedG2932 a fieldG5564 withG1537 the rewardG3408 of iniquityG93; andG2532 fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burst asunderG2997 in the midstG3319, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 bowelsG4698 gushed outG1632.
AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, that is to sayG5123, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, LetG1096 hisG846 habitationG1886 beG1096 desolateG2048, andG2532 letG2077 no manG3361 dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846: andG2532 hisG846 bishoprickG1984 letG2983 anotherG2087 takeG2983. {bishoprick: or, office, or, charge}
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThisG3778 isG2076 the stoneG3037 whichG3588 was set at noughtG1848 ofG5259 youG5216 buildersG3618, whichG3588 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 ofG1519 the cornerG1137.
WhoG3588 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of thyG4675 servantG3816 DavidG1138 hast saidG2036, WhyG2444 didG5433 the heathenG1484 rageG5433, andG2532 the peopleG2992 imagineG3191 vain thingsG2756?
The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 stood upG3936, andG2532 the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909+G846 againstG2596 the LordG2962, andG2532 againstG2596 hisG846 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 ofG1909 a truthG225 againstG1909 thyG4675 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 thou hast anointedG5548, bothG5037 HerodG2264, andG2532 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, withG4862 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, were gathered togetherG4863,
Let them melt awayH3988 as watersH4325 which run continuallyH1980: when he bendethH1869 his bow to shoot his arrowsH2671, let them be as cut in piecesH4135.
As a snailH7642 which meltethH8557, let every one of them pass awayH1980: like the untimely birthH5309 of a womanH802, that they may not seeH2372 the sunH8121.
Before your potsH5518 can feelH995 the thornsH329, he shall take them away as with a whirlwindH8175, both livingH2416, and in his wrathH2740. {both…: Heb. as living as wrath}
The righteousH6662 shall rejoiceH8055 when he seethH2372 the vengeanceH5359: he shall washH7364 his feetH6471 in the bloodH1818 of the wickedH7563.
So that a manH120 shall sayH559, Verily there is a rewardH6529 for the righteousH6662: verily he isH3426 a GodH430 that judgethH8199 in the earthH776. {a reward…: Heb. fruit of the, etc}
Let their habitationH2918 be desolateH8074; and let none dwellH3427 in their tentsH168. {their habitation: Heb. their palace} {let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller}
For they persecuteH7291 him whom thou hast smittenH5221; and they talkH5608 to the griefH4341 of those whom thou hast woundedH2491. {those…: Heb. thy wounded}
AddH5414 iniquityH5771 unto their iniquityH5771: and let them not comeH935 into thy righteousnessH6666. {iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc}
Let them be blottedH4229 out of the bookH5612 of the livingH2416, and not be writtenH3789 with the righteousH6662.
But I am poorH6041 and sorrowfulH3510: let thy salvationH3444, O GodH430, set me up on highH7682.
O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, who art to be destroyedH7703; happyH835 shall he be, that rewardethH7999 thee as thou hast servedH1580+H1576 us. {destroyed: Heb. wasted} {rewardeth…: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us}
HappyH835 shall he be, that takethH270 and dashethH5310 thy little onesH5768 against the stonesH5553. {the stones: Heb. the rock}
When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694 riversH6388 of oilH8081; {me: Heb. with me}
ForsakeH5800 me not, O LORDH3068: O my GodH430, be not farH7368 from me.
Do not I hateH8130 them, O LORDH3068, that hateH8130 thee? and am not I grievedH6962 with those that rise upH8618 against thee?
I hateH8130 them with perfectH8503 hatredH8135: I count them mine enemiesH341.
And it came to pass afterwardH310, that David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him, because he had cut offH3772 Saul'sH7586 skirtH3671.
And he saidH559 unto his menH582, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should doH6213 this thingH1697 unto my masterH113, the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899, to stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against him, seeing he is the anointedH4899 of the LORDH3068.
So DavidH1732 stayedH8156 his servantsH582 with these wordsH1697, and sufferedH5414 them not to riseH6965 against SaulH7586. But SaulH7586 rose upH6965 out of the caveH4631, and wentH3212 on his wayH1870. {stayed: Heb. cut off}
DavidH1732 also aroseH6965 afterward, and went outH3318 of the caveH4631, and criedH7121 afterH310 SaulH7586, sayingH559, My lordH113 the kingH4428. And when SaulH7586 lookedH5027 behindH310 him, DavidH1732 stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and bowedH7812 himself.
Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027 this dayH3117: now therefore let me smiteH5221 him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 even to the earthH776 at onceH6471+H259, and I will not smite him the second timeH8138. {delivered: Heb. shut up}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, DestroyH7843 him not: for who can stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltlessH5352?
DavidH1732 saidH559 furthermore, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall descendH3381 into battleH4421, and perishH5595.
The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899: but, I pray thee, takeH3947 thou now the spearH2595 that is at his bolsterH4763, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325, and let us goH3212.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139, andG2532 hateG3404 thineG4675 enemyG2190.
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, LoveG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, blessG2127 them that curseG2672 youG5209, doG4160 goodG2573 to them that hateG3404 youG5209, andG2532 prayG4336 forG5228 them whichG3588 despitefully useG1908 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 youG5209;
A Psalm of DavidH1732, MaschilH4905. BlessedH835 is he whose transgressionH6588 is forgivenH5375, whose sinH2401 is coveredH3680. {A Psalm…: or, A Psalm of David giving instruction}
BlessedH835 is the manH120 unto whom the LORDH3068 imputethH2803 not iniquityH5771, and in whose spiritH7307 there is no guileH7423.
The LORDH3068 will preserveH8104 him, and keep him aliveH2421; and he shall be blessedH833 upon the earthH776: and thou wilt not deliverH5414 him unto the willH5315 of his enemiesH341. {thou…: or, do not thou deliver}
The LORDH3068 will strengthenH5582 him upon the bedH6210 of languishingH1741: thou wilt makeH2015 all his bedH4904 in his sicknessH2483. {make: Heb. turn}
BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whom thou chastenestH3256, O LORDH3050, and teachestH3925 him out of thy lawH8451;
That thou mayest give him restH8252 from the daysH3117 of adversityH7451, until the pitH7845 be diggedH3738 for the wickedH7563.
For the LORDH3068 will not cast offH5203 his peopleH5971, neither will he forsakeH5800 his inheritanceH5159.
But judgmentH4941 shall returnH7725 unto righteousnessH6664: and all the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall followH310 it. {shall follow…: Heb. shall be after it}
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
HappyH835 is that peopleH5971, that is in such a caseH3602: yea, happyH835 is that peopleH5971, whose GodH430 is the LORDH3068.
MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. PreserveH8104 me, O GodH410: for in thee do I put my trustH2620. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}
O my soul, thou hast saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my LordH136: my goodnessH2896 extendeth not to thee;
But to the saintsH6918 thatH1992 are in the earthH776, and to the excellentH117, in whom is all my delightH2656.
Their sorrowsH6094 shall be multipliedH7235 that hastenH4116 after anotherH312 god: their drink offeringsH5262 of bloodH1818 will I not offerH5258, norH1077 take upH5375 their namesH8034 into my lipsH8193. {hasten…: or, give gifts to another}
The LORDH3068 is the portionH4490 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainestH8551 my lotH1486. {of mine…: Heb. of my part}
The linesH2256 are fallenH5307 unto me in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodlyH8231 heritageH5159.
I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068, who hath given me counselH3289: my reinsH3629 also instructH3256 me in the night seasonsH3915.
I have setH7737 the LORDH3068 alwaysH8548 before me: because he is at my right handH3225, I shall not be movedH4131.
Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983. {rest…: Heb. dwell confidently}
For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 ShaharH7837, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
But thou art holyH6918, O thou that inhabitestH3427 the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in thee: they trustedH982, and thou didst deliverH6403 them.
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
But I am a wormH8438, and no manH376; a reproachH2781 of menH120, and despisedH959 of the peopleH5971.
All they that seeH7200 me laugh me to scornH3932: they shoot outH6358 the lipH8193, they shakeH5128 the headH7218, saying, {shoot…: Heb. open}
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738. {gaped…: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.
But be not thou farH7368 from me, O LORDH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 him; all ye the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, all ye the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478.
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
My praiseH8416 shall be of thee in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 before them that fearH3373 him.
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646: they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for everH5703.
All the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: and all the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee.
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD'SH3068: and he is the governorH4910 among the nationsH1471.
All they that be fatH1879 upon earthH776 shall eatH398 and worshipH7812: all they that go downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and none can keep aliveH2421 his own soulH5315.
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generationH1755.
They shall comeH935, and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 unto a peopleH5971 that shall be bornH3205, that he hath doneH6213 this.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The earthH776 is the LORD'SH3068, and the fulnessH4393 thereof; the worldH8398, and they that dwellH3427 therein.
For he hath foundedH3245 it upon the seasH3220, and establishedH3559 it upon the floodsH5104.
Who shall ascendH5927 into the hillH2022 of the LORDH3068? or who shall standH6965 in his holyH6944 placeH4725?
He that hath cleanH5355 handsH3709, and a pureH1249 heartH3824; who hath not lifted upH5375 his soulH5315 unto vanityH7723, nor swornH7650 deceitfullyH4820. {He…: Heb. The clean of hands}
He shall receiveH5375 the blessingH1293 from the LORDH3068, and righteousnessH6666 from the GodH430 of his salvationH3468.
This is the generationH1755 of them that seekH1875 him, that seekH1245 thy faceH6440, O JacobH3290. SelahH5542. {O Jacob: or, O God of Jacob}
Lift upH5375 your headsH7218, O ye gatesH8179; and be ye lift upH5375, ye everlastingH5769 doorsH6607; and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come inH935.
Who is this KingH4428 of gloryH3519? The LORDH3068 strongH5808 and mightyH1368, the LORDH3068 mightyH1368 in battleH4421.
Lift upH5375 your headsH7218, O ye gatesH8179; even lift them upH5375, ye everlastingH5769 doorsH6607; and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come inH935.
Who is this KingH4428 of gloryH3519? The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, he is the KingH4428 of gloryH3519. SelahH5542.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838. {an…: Heb. a pit of noise}
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makethH7760 the LORDH3068 his trustH4009, and respectethH6437 not the proudH7295, nor such as turn asideH7750 to liesH3577.
ManyH7227, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608. {they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee}
SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592. {opened: Heb. digged}
Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
WithholdH3607 not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O LORDH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.
For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me. {falleth: Heb. forsaketh}
Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 me: O LORDH3068, make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me.
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451.
Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 unto me, AhaH1889, ahaH1889.
Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: let such as loveH157 thy salvationH8668 sayH559 continuallyH8548, The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431.
But I am poorH6041 and needyH34; yet the LordH136 thinkethH2803 upon me: thou art my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; make no tarryingH309, O my GodH430.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 of DavidH1732. Let GodH430 ariseH6965, let his enemiesH341 be scatteredH6327: let them also that hateH8130 him fleeH5127 beforeH6440 him. {before…: Heb. from his face}
As smokeH6227 is driven awayH5086, so drive them awayH5086: as waxH1749 meltethH4549 beforeH6440 the fireH784, so let the wickedH7563 perishH6 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430.
But let the righteousH6662 be gladH8055; let them rejoiceH5970 beforeH6440 GodH430: yea, let them exceedinglyH8057 rejoiceH7797. {exceedingly…: Heb. rejoice with gladness}
SingH7891 unto GodH430, sing praisesH2167 to his nameH8034: extolH5549 him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH6160 by his nameH8034 JAHH3050, and rejoiceH5937 beforeH6440 him.
A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490, and a judgeH1781 of the widowsH490, is GodH430 in his holyH6944 habitationH4583.
GodH430 settethH3427 the solitaryH3173 in familiesH1004: he bringeth outH3318 those which are boundH615 with chainsH3574: but the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a dryH6707 land. {in families: Heb. in a house}
O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, when thou didst marchH6805 through the wildernessH3452; SelahH5542:
The earthH776 shookH7493, the heavensH8064 also droppedH5197 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430: even SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 was moved at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Thou, O GodH430, didst sendH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, whereby thou didst confirmH3559 thine inheritanceH5159, when it was wearyH3811. {send: Heb. shake out} {confirm: Heb. confirm it}
Thy congregationH2416 hath dweltH3427 therein: thou, O GodH430, hast preparedH3559 of thy goodnessH2896 for the poorH6041.
The LordH136 gaveH5414 the wordH562: greatH7227 was the companyH6635 of those that publishedH1319 it. {company: Heb. army}
KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 did fleeH5074 apaceH5074: and she that tarriedH5116 at homeH1004 dividedH2505 the spoilH7998. {did…: Heb. did flee, did flee}
Though ye have lienH7901 among the potsH8240, yet shall ye be as the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, and her feathersH84 with yellowH3422 goldH2742.
When the AlmightyH7706 scatteredH6566 kingsH4428 in it, it was white as snowH7949 in SalmonH6756. {in it…: or, for her, she}
The hillH2022 of GodH430 is as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316; an highH1386 hillH2022 as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316.
Why leapH7520 ye, ye highH1386 hillsH2022? this is the hillH2022 which GodH430 desirethH2530 to dwell inH3427; yea, the LORDH3068 will dwellH7931 in it for everH5331.
The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place. {even…: or, even many thousands}
Thou hast ascendedH5927 on highH4791, thou hast led captivityH7628 captiveH7617: thou hast receivedH3947 giftsH4979 for menH120; yea, for the rebelliousH5637 also, that the LORDH3050 GodH430 might dwellH7931 among them. {for men: Heb. in the man}
BlessedH1288 be the LordH136, who dailyH3117+H3117 loadethH6006 us with benefits, even the GodH410 of our salvationH3444. SelahH5542.
He that is our GodH410 is the GodH410 of salvationH4190; and unto GODH3069 the LordH136 belong the issuesH8444 from deathH4194.
But GodH430 shall woundH4272 the headH7218 of his enemiesH341, and the hairyH8181 scalpH6936 of such an one as goeth on stillH1980 in his trespassesH817.
The LordH136 saidH559, I will bring againH7725 from BashanH1316, I will bring my people againH7725 from the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220:
That thy footH7272 may be dippedH4272 in the bloodH1818 of thine enemiesH341, and the tongueH3956 of thy dogsH3611 in the same. {dipped: or, red}
They have seenH7200 thy goingsH1979, O GodH430; even the goingsH1979 of my GodH410, my KingH4428, in the sanctuaryH6944.
The singersH7891 went beforeH6923, the players on instrumentsH5059 followed afterH310; amongH8432 them were the damselsH5959 playing with timbrelsH8608.
BlessH1288 ye GodH430 in the congregationsH4721, even the LordH136, from the fountainH4726 of IsraelH3478. {from…: or, ye that are of the fountain of Israel}
There is littleH6810 BenjaminH1144 with their rulerH7287, the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and their councilH7277, the princesH8269 of ZebulunH2074, and the princesH8269 of NaphtaliH5321. {and their…: or, with their company}
Thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thy strengthH5797: strengthenH5810, O GodH430, that whichH2098 thou hast wroughtH6466 for us.
Because of thy templeH1964 at JerusalemH3389 shall kingsH4428 bringH2986 presentsH7862 unto thee.
RebukeH1605 the companyH2416 of spearmenH7070, the multitudeH5712 of the bullsH47, with the calvesH5695 of the peopleH5971, till every one submitH7511 himself with piecesH7518 of silverH3701: scatterH967 thou the peopleH5971 that delightH2654 in warH7128. {the company…: or, the beasts of the reeds} {scatter…: or, he scattereth}
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
SingH7891 unto GodH430, ye kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; O sing praisesH2167 unto the LordH136; SelahH5542:
To him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH8064 of heavensH8064, which were of oldH6924; lo, he doth send outH5414 his voiceH6963, and that a mightyH5797 voiceH6963. {send…: Heb. give}
AscribeH5414 ye strengthH5797 unto GodH430: his excellencyH1346 is over IsraelH3478, and his strengthH5797 is in the cloudsH7834. {clouds: or, heavens}
O GodH430, thou art terribleH3372 out of thy holy placesH4720: the GodH410 of IsraelH3478 is he that givethH5414 strengthH5797 and powerH8592 unto his peopleH5971. BlessedH1288 be GodH430.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShoshannimH7799, A Psalm of DavidH1732. SaveH3467 me, O GodH430; for the watersH4325 are comeH935 in unto my soulH5315.
I sinkH2883 in deepH4688 mireH3121, where there is no standingH4613: I am comeH935 into deepH4615 watersH4325, where the floodsH7641 overflowH7857 me. {deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth} {deep waters: Heb. depth of waters}
I am wearyH3021 of my cryingH7121: my throatH1627 is driedH2787: mine eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.
They that hateH8130 me without a causeH2600 are moreH7231 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: they that would destroyH6789 me, being mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267, are mightyH6105: then I restoredH7725 that which I took not awayH1497.
O GodH430, thou knowestH3045 my foolishnessH200; and my sinsH819 are not hidH3582 from thee. {sins: Heb. guiltiness}
Let not them that waitH6960 on thee, O LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, be ashamedH954 for my sake: let not those that seekH1245 thee be confoundedH3637 for my sake, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Because for thy sake I have borneH5375 reproachH2781; shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 my faceH6440.
I am become a strangerH2114 unto my brethrenH251, and an alienH5237 unto my mother'sH517 childrenH1121.
For the zealH7068 of thine houseH1004 hath eaten me upH398; and the reproachesH2781 of them that reproachedH2778 thee are fallenH5307 upon me.
When I weptH1058, and chastened my soulH5315 with fastingH6685, that was to my reproachH2781.
I madeH5414 sackclothH8242 also my garmentH3830; and I became a proverbH4912 to them.
They that sit inH3427 the gateH8179 speakH7878 against me; and I was the songH5058 of the drunkardsH8354+H7941. {drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink}
But as for me, my prayerH8605 is unto thee, O LORDH3068, in an acceptableH7522 timeH6256: O GodH430, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617 hearH6030 me, in the truthH571 of thy salvationH3468.
DeliverH5337 me out of the mireH2916, and let me not sinkH2883: let me be deliveredH5337 from them that hateH8130 me, and out of the deepH4615 watersH4325.
Let not the waterfloodH4325+H7641 overflowH7857 me, neither let the deepH4688 swallow me upH1104, and let not the pitH875 shutH332 her mouthH6310 upon me.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068; for thy lovingkindnessH2617 is goodH2896: turnH6437 unto me according to the multitudeH7230 of thy tender merciesH7356.
And hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from thy servantH5650; for I am in troubleH6887: hearH6030 me speedilyH4118. {hear…: Heb. make haste to hear me}
Draw nighH7126 unto my soulH5315, and redeemH1350 it: deliverH6299 me because of mine enemiesH341.
Thou hast knownH3045 my reproachH2781, and my shameH1322, and my dishonourH3639: mine adversariesH6887 are all before thee.
ReproachH2781 hath brokenH7665 my heartH3820; and I am full of heavinessH5136: and I lookedH6960 for some to take pityH5110, but there was none; and for comfortersH5162, but I foundH4672 none. {to take…: Heb. to lament with me}
They gaveH5414 me also gallH7219 for my meatH1267; and in my thirstH6772 they gave me vinegarH2558 to drinkH8248.
Let their tableH7979 become a snareH6341 beforeH6440 them: and that which should have been for their welfareH7965, let it become a trapH4170.
Let their eyesH5869 be darkenedH2821, that they seeH7200 not; and make their loinsH4975 continuallyH8548 to shakeH4571.
Pour outH8210 thine indignationH2195 upon them, and let thy wrathfulH2740 angerH639 take holdH5381 of them.
Let their habitationH2918 be desolateH8074; and let none dwellH3427 in their tentsH168. {their habitation: Heb. their palace} {let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller}
For they persecuteH7291 him whom thou hast smittenH5221; and they talkH5608 to the griefH4341 of those whom thou hast woundedH2491. {those…: Heb. thy wounded}
AddH5414 iniquityH5771 unto their iniquityH5771: and let them not comeH935 into thy righteousnessH6666. {iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc}
Let them be blottedH4229 out of the bookH5612 of the livingH2416, and not be writtenH3789 with the righteousH6662.
But I am poorH6041 and sorrowfulH3510: let thy salvationH3444, O GodH430, set me up on highH7682.
I will praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of GodH430 with a songH7892, and will magnifyH1431 him with thanksgivingH8426.
This also shall pleaseH3190 the LORDH3068 betterH3190 than an oxH7794 or bullockH6499 that hath hornsH7160 and hoofsH6536.
The humbleH6035 shall seeH7200 this, and be gladH8055: and your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 that seekH1875 GodH430. {humble: or, meek}
For the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 the poorH34, and despisethH959 not his prisonersH615.
Let the heavenH8064 and earthH776 praiseH1984 him, the seasH3220, and every thing that movethH7430 therein. {moveth: Heb. creepeth}
For GodH430 will saveH3467 ZionH6726, and will buildH1129 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: that they may dwellH3427 there, and have it in possessionH3423.
The seedH2233 also of his servantsH5650 shall inheritH5157 it: and they that loveH157 his nameH8034 shall dwellH7931 therein.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let IsraelH3478 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let the houseH1004 of AaronH175 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let them now that fearH3373 the LORDH3068 sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3050 in distressH4712: the LORDH3050 answeredH6030 me, and set me in a large placeH4800. {in distress: Heb. out of distress}
The LORDH3068 is on my side; I will not fearH3372: what canH6213 manH120 doH6213 unto me? {on…: Heb. for me}
The LORDH3068 taketh my part with them that helpH5826 me: therefore shall I seeH7200 my desire upon them that hateH8130 me.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in manH120.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in princesH5081.
All nationsH1471 compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 will I destroyH4135 them. {destroy…: Heb. cut them off}
They compassed me aboutH5437; yea, they compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them.
They compassed me aboutH5437 like beesH1682; they are quenchedH1846 as the fireH784 of thornsH6975: for in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them. {destroy: Heb. cut down}
Thou hast thrustH1760 soreH1760 at me that I might fallH5307: but the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 me.
The LORDH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2176, and is become my salvationH3444.
The voiceH6963 of rejoicingH7440 and salvationH3444 is in the tabernaclesH168 of the righteousH6662: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
The right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 is exaltedH7426: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
I shall not dieH4191, but liveH2421, and declareH5608 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3050.
The LORDH3050 hath chastenedH3256 me soreH3256: but he hath not given me overH5414 unto deathH4194.
OpenH6605 to me the gatesH8179 of righteousnessH6664: I will goH935 into them, and I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3050:
This gateH8179 of the LORDH3068, into which the righteousH6662 shall enterH935.
I will praiseH3034 thee: for thou hast heardH6030 me, and art become my salvationH3444.
The stoneH68 which the buildersH1129 refusedH3988 is become the headH7218 stone of the cornerH6438.
This is the LORD'SH3068 doing; it is marvellousH6381 in our eyesH5869. {the LORD's…: Heb. from the LORD}
This is the dayH3117 which the LORDH3068 hath madeH6213; we will rejoiceH1523 and be gladH8055 in it.
SaveH3467 now, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068: O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, send now prosperityH6743.
BlessedH1288 be he that comethH935 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: we have blessedH1288 you out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
GodH410 is the LORDH3068, which hath shewed us lightH215: bindH631 the sacrificeH2282 with cordsH5688, even unto the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
Thou art my GodH410, and I will praiseH3034 thee: thou art my GodH430, I will exaltH7311 thee.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058 upon SheminithH8067, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thine angerH639, neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534. {Sheminith: or, upon the eight}
Have mercyH2603 upon me, O LORDH3068; for I am weakH536: O LORDH3068, healH7495 me; for my bonesH6106 are vexedH926.
My soulH5315 is also soreH3966 vexedH926: but thou, O LORDH3068, how long?
ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, deliverH2502 my soulH5315: oh saveH3467 me for thy mercies'H2617 sake.
For in deathH4194 there is no remembranceH2143 of thee: in the graveH7585 who shall give thee thanksH3034?
I am wearyH3021 with my groaningH585; all the nightH3915 make I my bedH4296 to swimH7811; I waterH4529 my couchH6210 with my tearsH1832. {all…: or, every night}
Mine eyeH5869 is consumedH6244 because of griefH3708; it waxeth oldH6275 because of all mine enemiesH6887.
DepartH5493 from me, all ye workersH6466 of iniquityH205; for the LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of my weepingH1065.
The LORDH3068 hath heardH8085 my supplicationH8467; the LORDH3068 will receiveH3947 my prayerH8605.
Let all mine enemiesH341 be ashamedH954 and soreH3966 vexedH926: let them returnH7725 and be ashamedH954 suddenlyH7281.
A Psalm of DavidH1732, MaschilH4905. BlessedH835 is he whose transgressionH6588 is forgivenH5375, whose sinH2401 is coveredH3680. {A Psalm…: or, A Psalm of David giving instruction}
BlessedH835 is the manH120 unto whom the LORDH3068 imputethH2803 not iniquityH5771, and in whose spiritH7307 there is no guileH7423.
When I kept silenceH2790, my bonesH6106 waxed oldH1086 through my roaringH7581 all the dayH3117 long.
For dayH3119 and nightH3915 thy handH3027 was heavyH3513 upon me: my moistureH3955 is turnedH2015 into the droughtH2725 of summerH7019. SelahH5542.
I acknowledgedH3045 my sinH2403 unto thee, and mine iniquityH5771 have I not hidH3680. I saidH559, I will confessH3034 my transgressionsH6588 unto the LORDH3068; and thou forgavestH5375 the iniquityH5771 of my sinH2403. SelahH5542.
For this shall every one that is godlyH2623 prayH6419 unto thee in a timeH6256 when thou mayest be foundH4672: surely in the floodsH7858 of greatH7227 watersH4325 they shall not come nighH5060 unto him. {when…: Heb. of finding}
Thou art my hiding placeH5643; thou shalt preserveH5341 me from troubleH6862; thou shalt compassH5437 me about with songsH7438 of deliveranceH6405. SelahH5542.
I will instructH7919 thee and teachH3384 thee in the wayH1870 whichH2098 thou shalt goH3212: I will guideH3289 thee with mine eyeH5869. {guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}
Be ye not as the horseH5483, or as the muleH6505, which have no understandingH995: whose mouthH5716 must be heldH1102 in with bitH4964 and bridleH7448, lestH1077 they come nearH7126 unto thee.
ManyH7227 sorrowsH4341 shall be to the wickedH7563: but he that trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, mercyH2617 shall compassH5437 him about.
Be gladH8055 in the LORDH3068, and rejoiceH1523, ye righteousH6662: and shoutH7442 for joy, all ye that are uprightH3477 in heartH3820.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, to bring to remembranceH2142. O LORDH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thy wrathH7110: neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534.
For thine arrowsH2671 stick fastH5181 in me, and thy handH3027 presseth me soreH5181.
There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
For mine iniquitiesH5771 are gone overH5674 mine headH7218: as an heavyH3515 burdenH4853 they are too heavyH3513 for me.
My woundsH2250 stinkH887 and are corruptH4743 becauseH6440 of my foolishnessH200.
I am troubledH5753; I am bowed downH7817 greatlyH3966; I goH1980 mourningH6937 all the dayH3117 long. {troubled: Heb. wried}
For my loinsH3689 are filledH4390 with a loathsomeH7033 disease: and there is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320.
I am feebleH6313 and soreH3966 brokenH1794: I have roaredH7580 by reason of the disquietnessH5100 of my heartH3820.
LordH136, all my desireH8378 is before thee; and my groaningH585 is not hidH5641 from thee.
My heartH3820 pantethH5503, my strengthH3581 failethH5800 me: as for the lightH216 of mine eyesH5869, itH1992 also is goneH369 from me. {is gone…: Heb. is not with me}
My loversH157 and my friendsH7453 standH5975 aloof fromH5048 my soreH5061; and my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 afar offH7350. {sore: Heb. stroke} {my kinsmen: or, my neighbours}
They also that seekH1245 after my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367 for me: and they that seekH1875 my hurtH7451 speakH1696 mischievous thingsH1942, and imagineH1897 deceitsH4820 all the dayH3117 long.
But I, as a deafH2795 man, heardH8085 not; and I was as a dumb manH483 that openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
Thus I was as a manH376 that hearethH8085 not, and in whose mouthH6310 are no reproofsH8433.
For in thee, O LORDH3068, do I hopeH3176: thou wilt hearH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430. {in…: or, thee do I wait for} {hear: or, answer}
For I saidH559, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoiceH8055 over me: when my footH7272 slippethH4131, they magnifyH1431 themselves against me.
For I am readyH3559 to haltH6761, and my sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 before me. {to halt: Heb. for halting}
For I will declareH5046 mine iniquityH5771; I will be sorryH1672 for my sinH2403.
But mine enemiesH341 are livelyH2416, and they are strongH6105: and they that hateH8130 me wrongfullyH8267 are multipliedH7231. {are lively…: Heb. being living, are strong}
They also that renderH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896 are mine adversariesH7853; because I followH7291 the thing that goodH2896 is.
ForsakeH5800 me not, O LORDH3068: O my GodH430, be not farH7368 from me.
Make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me, O LordH136 my salvationH8668. {to…: Heb. for my help}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, when NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 cameH935 unto him, after he had gone inH935 to BathshebaH1339. Have mercyH2603 upon me, O GodH430, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617: according unto the multitudeH7230 of thy tender merciesH7356 blot outH4229 my transgressionsH6588.
WashH3526 me throughlyH7235 from mine iniquityH5771, and cleanseH2891 me from my sinH2403.
For I acknowledgeH3045 my transgressionsH6588: and my sinH2403 is everH8548 before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinnedH2398, and doneH6213 this evilH7451 in thy sightH5869: that thou mightest be justifiedH6663 when thou speakestH1696, and be clearH2135 when thou judgestH8199.
Behold, I was shapenH2342 in iniquityH5771; and in sinH2399 did my motherH517 conceiveH3179 me. {conceive…: Heb. warm me}
Behold, thou desirestH2654 truthH571 in the inward partsH2910: and in the hiddenH5640 part thou shalt make me to knowH3045 wisdomH2451.
PurgeH2398 me with hyssopH231, and I shall be cleanH2891: washH3526 me, and I shall be whiterH3835 than snowH7950.
Make me to hearH8085 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057; that the bonesH6106 which thou hast brokenH1794 may rejoiceH1523.
HideH5641 thy faceH6440 from my sinsH2399, and blot outH4229 all mine iniquitiesH5771.
CreateH1254 in me a cleanH2889 heartH3820, O GodH430; and renewH2318 a rightH3559 spiritH7307 withinH7130 me. {right: or, constant}
Cast me not awayH7993 from thy presenceH6440; and takeH3947 not thy holyH6944 spiritH7307 from me.
RestoreH7725 unto me the joyH8342 of thy salvationH3468; and upholdH5564 me with thy freeH5081 spiritH7307.
Then will I teachH3925 transgressorsH6586 thy waysH1870; and sinnersH2400 shall be convertedH7725 unto thee.
DeliverH5337 me from bloodguiltinessH1818, O GodH430, thou GodH430 of my salvationH8668: and my tongueH3956 shall sing aloudH7442 of thy righteousnessH6666. {bloodguiltiness: Heb. bloods}
O LordH136, openH6605 thou my lipsH8193; and my mouthH6310 shall shew forthH5046 thy praiseH8416.
For thou desirestH2654 not sacrificeH2077; else would I giveH5414 it: thou delightestH7521 not in burnt offeringH5930. {else…: or, that I should}
The sacrificesH2077 of GodH430 are a brokenH7665 spiritH7307: a brokenH7665 and a contriteH1794 heartH3820, O GodH430, thou wilt not despiseH959.
Do goodH3190 in thy good pleasureH7522 unto ZionH6726: buildH1129 thou the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
Then shalt thou be pleasedH2654 with the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, with burnt offeringH5930 and wholeH3632 burnt offeringH5930: then shall they offerH5927 bullocksH6499 upon thine altarH4196.
A PrayerH8605 of the afflictedH6041, when he is overwhelmedH5848, and poureth outH8210 his complaintH7879 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and let my cryH7775 comeH935 unto thee. {of: or, for}
HideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 when I am in troubleH6862; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me: in the dayH3117 when I callH7121 answerH6030 me speedilyH4118.
For my daysH3117 are consumedH3615 like smokeH6227, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 as an hearthH4168. {like…: or, (as some read) into smoke}
My heartH3820 is smittenH5221, and witheredH3001 like grassH6212; so that I forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.
By reason of the voiceH6963 of my groaningH585 my bonesH6106 cleaveH1692 to my skinH1320. {skin: or, flesh}
I am likeH1819 a pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057: I am like an owlH3563 of the desertH2723.
I watchH8245, and am as a sparrowH6833 aloneH909 upon the house topH1406.
Mine enemiesH341 reproachH2778 me all the dayH3117; and they that are madH1984 against me are swornH7650 against me.
For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899, and mingledH4537 my drinkH8249 with weepingH1065,
BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrathH7110: for thou hast lifted me upH5375, and cast me downH7993.
My daysH3117 are like a shadowH6738 that declinethH5186; and I am witheredH3001 like grassH6212.
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt endureH3427 for everH5769; and thy remembranceH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt ariseH6965, and have mercyH7355 upon ZionH6726: for the timeH6256 to favourH2603 her, yea, the set timeH4150, is comeH935.
For thy servantsH5650 take pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68, and favourH2603 the dustH6083 thereof.
So the heathenH1471 shall fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 thy gloryH3519.
When the LORDH3068 shall build upH1129 ZionH6726, he shall appearH7200 in his gloryH3519.
He will regardH6437 the prayerH8605 of the destituteH6199, and not despiseH959 their prayerH8605.
This shall be writtenH3789 for the generationH1755 to comeH314: and the peopleH5971 which shall be createdH1254 shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3050.
For he hath looked downH8259 from the heightH4791 of his sanctuaryH6944; from heavenH8064 did the LORDH3068 beholdH5027 the earthH776;
To hearH8085 the groaningH603 of the prisonerH615; to looseH6605 those that are appointedH1121 to deathH8546; {those…: Heb. the children of death}
To declareH5608 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726, and his praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389;
When the peopleH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
He weakenedH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; he shortenedH7114 my daysH3117. {weakened: Heb. afflicted}
I saidH559, O my GodH410, take me not awayH5927 in the midstH2677 of my daysH3117: thy yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776: and the heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
They shall perishH6, but thou shalt endureH5975: yea, all of them shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899; as a vestureH3830 shalt thou changeH2498 them, and they shall be changedH2498: {endure: Heb. stand}
But thou art the same, and thy yearsH8141 shall have no endH8552.
The childrenH1121 of thy servantsH5650 shall continueH7931, and their seedH2233 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. Out of the depthsH4615 have I criedH7121 unto thee, O LORDH3068.
LordH136, hearH8085 my voiceH6963: let thine earsH241 be attentiveH7183 to the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.
If thou, LORDH3050, shouldest markH8104 iniquitiesH5771, O LordH136, who shall standH5975?
But there is forgivenessH5547 with thee, that thou mayest be fearedH3372.
I waitH6960 for the LORDH3068, my soulH5315 doth waitH6960, and in his wordH1697 do I hopeH3176.
My soulH5315 waiteth for the LordH136 more than they that watchH8104 for the morningH1242: I say, more than they that watchH8104 for the morningH1242. {I say…: or, which watch unto}
Let IsraelH3478 hopeH3176 in the LORDH3068: for with the LORDH3068 there is mercyH2617, and with him is plenteousH7235 redemptionH6304.
And he shall redeemH6299 IsraelH3478 from all his iniquitiesH5771.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, give earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 me, and in thy righteousnessH6666.
And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.
For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.
Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmedH5848 within me; my heartH3820 withinH8432 me is desolateH8074.
I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.
HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 unto them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {lest…: or, for I am become like, etc}
Cause me to hearH8085 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242; for in thee do I trustH982: cause me to knowH3045 the wayH1870 whereinH2098 I should walkH3212; for I lift upH5375 my soulH5315 unto thee.
DeliverH5337 me, O LORDH3068, from mine enemiesH341: I flee unto thee to hideH3680 me. {flee…: Heb. hide me with thee}
TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.
QuickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, for thy name'sH8034 sake: for thy righteousness'H6666 sake bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869.
And of thy mercyH2617 cut offH6789 mine enemiesH341, and destroyH6 all them that afflictH6887 my soulH5315: for I am thy servantH5650.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
RememberH2142 me, O LORDH3068, with the favourH7522 that thou bearest unto thy peopleH5971: O visitH6485 me with thy salvationH3444;
That I may seeH7200 the goodH2896 of thy chosenH972, that I may rejoiceH8055 in the gladnessH8057 of thy nationH1471, that I may gloryH1984 with thine inheritanceH5159.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.
They soonH4116 forgatH7911 his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 not for his counselH6098: {They soon…: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
Wondrous worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible thingsH3372 by the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH8045 them, had notH3884 MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turn awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.
Yea, they despisedH3988 the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 not his wordH1697: {the pleasant…: Heb. a land of desire}
But murmuredH7279 in their tentsH168, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore he lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against them, to overthrowH5307 them in the wildernessH4057: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
To overthrowH5307 their seedH2233 also among the nationsH1471, and to scatterH2219 them in the landsH776. {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
Thus they provoked him to angerH3707 with their inventionsH4611: and the plagueH4046 brake inH6555 upon them.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
They angeredH7107 him also at the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809, so that it went illH3415 with MosesH4872 for their sakes:
Because they provokedH4784 his spiritH7307, so that he spake unadvisedlyH981 with his lipsH8193.
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were brought into subjectionH3665 under their handH3027.
ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they provokedH4784 him with their counselH6098, and were brought lowH4355 for their iniquityH5771. {brought…: or, impoverished, or, weakened}
Nevertheless he regardedH7200 their afflictionH6862, when he heardH8085 their cryH7440:
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
He madeH5414 them also to be pitiedH7356 ofH6440 all those that carried them captivesH7617.
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769: and let all the peopleH5971 sayH559, AmenH543. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my whole heartH3824, in the assemblyH5475 of the uprightH3477, and in the congregationH5712. {Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah}
The worksH4639 of the LORDH3068 are greatH1419, sought outH1875 of all them that have pleasureH2656 therein.
His workH6467 is honourableH1935 and gloriousH1926: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
He hath madeH6213 his wonderful worksH6381 to be rememberedH2143: the LORDH3068 is graciousH2587 and full of compassionH7349.
He hath givenH5414 meatH2964 unto them that fearH3373 him: he will everH5769 be mindfulH2142 of his covenantH1285. {meat: Heb. prey}
He hath shewedH5046 his peopleH5971 the powerH3581 of his worksH4639, that he may giveH5414 them the heritageH5159 of the heathenH1471.
The worksH4639 of his handsH3027 are verityH571 and judgmentH4941; all his commandmentsH6490 are sureH539.
They stand fastH5564 for everH5703 and everH5769, and are doneH6213 in truthH571 and uprightnessH3477. {stand…: Heb. are established}
He sentH7971 redemptionH6304 unto his peopleH5971: he hath commandedH6680 his covenantH1285 for everH5769: holyH6918 and reverendH3372 is his nameH8034.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of wisdomH2451: a goodH2896 understandingH7922 have all they that doH6213 his commandments: his praiseH8416 endurethH5975 for everH5703. {a good…: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. BlessedH835 is the manH376 that fearethH3372 the LORDH3068, that delightethH2654 greatlyH3966 in his commandmentsH4687. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
His seedH2233 shall be mightyH1368 upon earthH776: the generationH1755 of the uprightH3477 shall be blessedH1288.
WealthH1952 and richesH6239 shall be in his houseH1004: and his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703.
Unto the uprightH3477 there arisethH2224 lightH216 in the darknessH2822: he is graciousH2587, and full of compassionH7349, and righteousH6662.
A goodH2896 manH376 sheweth favourH2603, and lendethH3867: he will guideH3557 his affairsH1697 with discretionH4941. {discretion: Heb. judgment}
Surely he shall not be movedH4131 for everH5769: the righteousH6662 shall be in everlastingH5769 remembranceH2143.
He shall not be afraidH3372 of evilH7451 tidingsH8052: his heartH3820 is fixedH3559, trustingH982 in the LORDH3068.
His heartH3820 is establishedH5564, he shall not be afraidH3372, until he seeH7200 his desire upon his enemiesH6862.
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
The wickedH7563 shall seeH7200 it, and be grievedH3707; he shall gnashH2786 with his teethH8127, and melt awayH4549: the desireH8378 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. PraiseH1984, O ye servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. {Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah}
BlessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 from this time forthH6258 and forH5704 evermoreH5769.
From the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH3996 of the same the LORD'SH3068 nameH8034 is to be praisedH1984.
The LORDH3068 is highH7311 above all nationsH1471, and his gloryH3519 above the heavensH8064.
Who is like unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430, who dwellethH3427 on highH1361, {dwelleth…: Heb. exalteth himself to dwell}
Who humblethH8213 himself to beholdH7200 the things that are in heavenH8064, and in the earthH776!
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and liftethH7311 the needyH34 out of the dunghillH830;
That he may setH3427 him with princesH5081, even with the princesH5081 of his peopleH5971.
He maketh the barren womanH6135 to keepH3427 houseH1004, and to be a joyfulH8056 motherH517 of childrenH1121. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {to keep…: Heb. to dwell in an house}
O praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, all ye nationsH1471: praiseH7623 him, all ye peopleH523.
For his mercifulH2617 kindnessH2617 is greatH1396 toward us: and the truthH571 of the LORDH3068 endureth for everH5769. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. PraiseH1984 ye the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; praiseH1984 him, O ye servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068.
Ye that standH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430,
PraiseH1984 the LORDH3050; for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896: sing praisesH2167 unto his nameH8034; for it is pleasantH5273.
For the LORDH3050 hath chosenH977 JacobH3290 unto himself, and IsraelH3478 for his peculiar treasureH5459.
For I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is greatH1419, and that our LordH113 is above all godsH430.
Whatsoever the LORDH3068 pleasedH2654, that didH6213 he in heavenH8064, and in earthH776, in the seasH3220, and all deep placesH8415.
He causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306; he bringethH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuriesH214.
Who smoteH5221 the firstbornH1060 of EgyptH4714, both of manH120 and beastH929. {both…: Heb. from man unto beast}
Who sentH7971 tokensH226 and wondersH4159 into the midstH8432 of thee, O EgyptH4714, upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his servantsH5650.
Who smoteH5221 greatH7227 nationsH1471, and slewH2026 mightyH6099 kingsH4428;
SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all the kingdomsH4467 of CanaanH3667:
And gaveH5414 their landH776 for an heritageH5159, an heritageH5159 unto IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
Thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, endureth for everH5769; and thy memorialH2143, O LORDH3068, throughout allH1755 generationsH1755. {throughout…: Heb. to generation and generation}
For the LORDH3068 will judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and he will repentH5162 himself concerning his servantsH5650.
The idolsH6091 of the heathenH1471 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027.
They have mouthsH6310, but they speakH1696 not; eyesH5869 have they, but they seeH7200 not;
They have earsH241, but they hearH238 not; neither is thereH3426 any breathH7307 in their mouthsH6310.
They that makeH6213 them are like unto them: so is every one that trustethH982 in them.
BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: blessH1288 the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of AaronH175:
BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of LeviH3878: ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, blessH1288 the LORDH3068.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 out of ZionH6726, which dwellethH7931 at JerusalemH3389. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
BlessedH835 is the manH376 that walkethH1980 not in the counselH6098 of the ungodlyH7563, nor standethH5975 in the wayH1870 of sinnersH2400, nor sittethH3427 in the seatH4186 of the scornfulH3887. {ungodly: or, wicked}
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
The ungodlyH7563 are not so: but are like the chaffH4671 which the windH7307 driveth awayH5086.
Therefore the ungodlyH7563 shall not standH6965 in the judgmentH4941, nor sinnersH2400 in the congregationH5712 of the righteousH6662.
For the LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the wayH1870 of the righteousH6662: but the wayH1870 of the ungodlyH7563 shall perishH6.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon NehilothH5155, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Give earH238 to my wordsH561, O LORDH3068, considerH995 my meditationH1901.
HearkenH7181 unto the voiceH6963 of my cryH7773, my KingH4428, and my GodH430: for unto thee will I prayH6419.
My voiceH6963 shalt thou hearH8085 in the morningH1242, O LORDH3068; in the morningH1242 will I directH6186 my prayer unto thee, and will look upH6822.
For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickednessH7562: neither shall evilH7451 dwellH1481 with thee.
The foolishH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sightH5869: thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquityH205. {in…: Heb. before thine eyes}
Thou shalt destroyH6 them that speakH1696 leasingH3577: the LORDH3068 will abhorH8581 the bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 manH376. {bloody…: Heb. man of bloods and deceit}
But as for me, I will comeH935 into thy houseH1004 in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617: and in thy fearH3374 will I worshipH7812 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964. {thy holy…: Heb. the temple of thy holiness}
LeadH5148 me, O LORDH3068, in thy righteousnessH6666 because of mine enemiesH8324; make thy wayH1870 straightH3474 before my faceH6440. {mine…: Heb. those which observe me}
For there is no faithfulnessH3559 in their mouthH6310; their inwardH7130 part is very wickednessH1942; their throatH1627 is an openH6605 sepulchreH6913; they flatterH2505 with their tongueH3956. {faithfulness: or, stedfastness} {their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them} {very…: Heb. wickednesses}
DestroyH816 thou them, O GodH430; let them fallH5307 by their own counselsH4156; cast them outH5080 in the multitudeH7230 of their transgressionsH6588; for they have rebelledH4784 against thee. {Destroy…: or, Make them guilty} {by…: or, from their counsels}
But let all those that put their trustH2620 in thee rejoiceH8055: let them everH5769 shout for joyH7442, because thou defendestH5526 them: let them also that loveH157 thy nameH8034 be joyfulH5970 in thee. {defendest…: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them}
For thou, LORDH3068, wilt blessH1288 the righteousH6662; with favourH7522 wilt thou compassH5849 him as with a shieldH6793. {compass: Heb. crown}
ShiggaionH7692 of DavidH1732, which he sangH7891 unto the LORDH3068, concerning the wordsH1697 of CushH3568 the BenjamiteH1121+H1145. O LORDH3068 my GodH430, in thee do I put my trustH2620: saveH3467 me from all them that persecuteH7291 me, and deliverH5337 me: {words: or, business}
Lest he tearH2963 my soulH5315 like a lionH738, rending it in piecesH6561, while there is none to deliverH5337. {none…: Heb. not a deliverer}
O LORDH3068 my GodH430, if I have doneH6213 this; if there beH3426 iniquityH5766 in my handsH3709;
If I have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto him that was at peaceH7999 with me; (yea, I have deliveredH2502 him that without causeH7387 is mine enemyH6887:)
Let the enemyH341 persecuteH7291 my soulH5315, and takeH5381 it; yea, let him tread downH7429 my lifeH2416 upon the earthH776, and layH7931 mine honourH3519 in the dustH6083. SelahH5542.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, in thine angerH639, lift upH5375 thyself because of the rageH5678 of mine enemiesH6887: and awakeH5782 for me to the judgmentH4941 that thou hast commandedH6680.
So shall the congregationH5712 of the peopleH3816 compass thee aboutH5437: for their sakes therefore returnH7725 thou on highH4791.
The LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the peopleH5971: judgeH8199 me, O LORDH3068, according to my righteousnessH6664, and according to mine integrityH8537 that is in me.
Oh let the wickednessH7451 of the wickedH7563 come to an endH1584; but establishH3559 the justH6662: for the righteousH6662 GodH430 triethH974 the heartsH3826 and reinsH3629.
My defenceH4043 is of GodH430, which savethH3467 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {My…: Heb. My buckler is upon God}
GodH430 judgethH8199 the righteousH6662, and GodH410 is angryH2194 with the wicked every dayH3117. {judgeth…: or, is a righteous judge}
If he turnH7725 not, he will whetH3913 his swordH2719; he hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and made it readyH3559.
He hath also preparedH3559 for him the instrumentsH3627 of deathH4194; he ordainethH6466 his arrowsH2671 against the persecutorsH1814.
Behold, he travailethH2254 with iniquityH205, and hath conceivedH2029 mischiefH5999, and brought forthH3205 falsehoodH8267.
He madeH3738 a pitH953, and diggedH2658 it, and is fallenH5307 into the ditchH7845 which he madeH6466. {He made a pit: Heb. He hath digged a pit}
His mischiefH5999 shall returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, and his violentH2555 dealing shall come downH3381 upon his own pateH6936.
I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 according to his righteousnessH6664: and will sing praiseH2167 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 most highH5945.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. LORDH3068, who shall abideH1481 in thy tabernacleH168? who shall dwellH7931 in thy holyH6944 hillH2022? {abide: Heb. sojourn}
He that walkethH1980 uprightlyH8549, and workethH6466 righteousnessH6664, and speakethH1696 the truthH571 in his heartH3824.
He that backbitethH7270 not with his tongueH3956, nor doethH6213 evilH7451 to his neighbourH7453, nor taketh upH5375 a reproachH2781 against his neighbourH7138. {taketh…: or, receiveth, or, endureth}
In whose eyesH5869 a vile personH3988 is contemnedH959; but he honourethH3513 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068. He that swearethH7650 to his own hurtH7489, and changethH4171 not.
He that putteth not outH5414 his moneyH3701 to usuryH5392, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810 against the innocentH5355. He that doethH6213 these things shall neverH5769 be movedH4131.
A PrayerH8605 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 the rightH6664, O LORDH3068, attendH7181 unto my cryH7440, give earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feignedH4820 lipsH8193. {the right: Heb. justice} {not…: Heb. without lips of deceit}
Let my sentenceH4941 come forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; let thine eyesH5869 beholdH2372 the things that are equalH4339.
Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH6884 me, and shalt findH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.
Concerning the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 me from the pathsH734 of the destroyerH6530.
Hold upH8551 my goingsH838 in thy pathsH4570, that my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not. {slip…: Heb. be not moved}
I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hearH6030 me, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Shew thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them which put their trustH2620 in thee from those that rise upH6965 against them. {by thy…: or, them which trust in thee from those that rise up against thy right hand}
KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH1323+H5869, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,
FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, from my deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, who compass me aboutH5362. {oppress: Heb. waste} {my…: Heb. my enemies against the soul}
They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348.
They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838: they have setH7896 their eyesH5869 bowing downH5186 to the earthH776;
LikeH1825 as a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, and as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565. {Like…: Heb. The likeness of him (that is, of every one of them) is as a lion that desireth to ravin} {lurking: Heb. sitting}
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
From menH4962 which are thy handH3027, O LORDH3068, from menH4962 of the worldH2465, which have their portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and whose bellyH990 thou fillestH4390 with thy hidH6840 treasure: they are fullH7646 of childrenH1121, and leaveH3240 the restH3499 of their substance to their babesH5768. {which are: or, by} {they…: or, their children are full}
As for me, I will beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664: I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awakeH6974, with thy likenessH8544.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. The mightyH410 GodH430, even the LORDH3068, hath spokenH1696, and calledH7121 the earthH776 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH3996 thereof. {of…: or, for Asaph}
Out of ZionH6726, the perfectionH4359 of beautyH3308, GodH430 hath shinedH3313.
Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall not keep silenceH2790: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuousH8175 round aboutH5439 him.
He shall callH7121 to the heavensH8064 from aboveH5920, and to the earthH776, that he may judgeH1777 his peopleH5971.
GatherH622 my saintsH2623 together unto me; those that have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with me by sacrificeH2077.
And the heavensH8064 shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664: for GodH430 is judgeH8199 himself. SelahH5542.
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696; O IsraelH3478, and I will testifyH5749 against thee: I am GodH430, even thy GodH430.
I will not reproveH3198 thee for thy sacrificesH2077 or thy burnt offeringsH5930, to have been continuallyH8548 before me.
I will takeH3947 no bullockH6499 out of thy houseH1004, nor he goatsH6260 out of thy foldsH4356.
For every beastH2416 of the forestH3293 is mine, and the cattleH929 upon a thousandH505 hillsH2042.
I knowH3045 all the fowlsH5775 of the mountainsH2022: and the wild beastsH2123 of the fieldH7704 are mineH5978. {mine: Heb. with me}
If I were hungryH7456, I would not tellH559 thee: for the worldH8398 is mine, and the fulnessH4393 thereof.
Will I eatH398 the fleshH1320 of bullsH47, or drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of goatsH6260?
OfferH2076 unto GodH430 thanksgivingH8426; and payH7999 thy vowsH5088 unto the most HighH5945:
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saithH559, What hast thou to do to declareH5608 my statutesH2706, or that thou shouldest takeH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?
Seeing thou hatestH8130 instructionH4148, and castestH7993 my wordsH1697 behindH310 thee.
When thou sawestH7200 a thiefH1590, then thou consentedstH7521 with him, and hast been partakerH2506 with adulterersH5003. {hast…: Heb. thy portion was with}
Thou givestH7971 thy mouthH6310 to evilH7451, and thy tongueH3956 framethH6775 deceitH4820. {givest: Heb. sendest}
Thou sittestH3427 and speakestH1696 against thy brotherH251; thouH5414 slanderestH1848 thine own mother'sH517 sonH1121.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
Now considerH995 this, ye that forgetH7911 GodH433, lest I tear you in piecesH2963, and there be none to deliverH5337.
Whoso offerethH2076 praiseH8426 glorifiethH3513 me: and to him that orderethH7760 his conversationH1870 aright will I shewH7200 the salvationH3468 of GodH430. {that…: Heb. that disposeth his way}
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Truly GodH430 is goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, even to such as are of a cleanH1249 heartH3824. {of: or, for} {Truly: or, Yet} {of…: Heb. clean of heart}
But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186+H5186; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.
For I was enviousH7065 at the foolishH1984, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.
For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. {firm: Heb. fat}
They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060 likeH5973 other menH120. {in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059; violenceH2555 coverethH5848 them as a garmentH7897.
Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674 than heartH3824 could wishH4906. {have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corruptH4167, and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftilyH4791.
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725+H7725 hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to them.
And they sayH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945?
Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.
Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.
When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; {too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556, and I was prickedH8150 in my reinsH3629.
So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270 me by my rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt guideH5148 me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947 me to gloryH3519.
Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.
My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769. {strength: Heb. rock}
For, lo, they that are farH7369 from thee shall perishH6: thou hast destroyedH6789 all them that go a whoringH2181 from thee.
ButH589 it is goodH2896 for me to draw nearH7132 to GodH430: I have putH7896 my trustH4268 in the LordH136 GODH3069, that I may declareH5608 all thy worksH4399.
O LORDH3068 GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth; O GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth, shewH3313 thyself. {God…: Heb. God of revenges} {shew…: Heb. shine forth}
Lift upH5375 thyself, thou judgeH8199 of the earthH776: renderH7725 a rewardH1576 to the proudH1343.
LORDH3068, how long shall the wickedH7563, how long shall the wickedH7563 triumphH5937?
How long shall they utterH5042 and speakH1696 hard thingsH6277? and all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 boastH559 themselves?
They break in piecesH1792 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and afflictH6031 thine heritageH5159.
They slayH2026 the widowH490 and the strangerH1616, and murderH7523 the fatherlessH3490.
Yet they sayH559, The LORDH3050 shall not seeH7200, neither shall the GodH430 of JacobH3290 regardH995 it.
UnderstandH995, ye brutishH1197 among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?
He that plantedH5193 the earH241, shall he not hearH8085? he that formedH3335 the eyeH5869, shall he not seeH5027?
He that chastisethH3256 the heathenH1471, shall not he correctH3198? he that teachethH3925 manH120 knowledgeH1847, shall not he know?
The LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the thoughtsH4284 of manH120, that they are vanityH1892.
BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whom thou chastenestH3256, O LORDH3050, and teachestH3925 him out of thy lawH8451;
That thou mayest give him restH8252 from the daysH3117 of adversityH7451, until the pitH7845 be diggedH3738 for the wickedH7563.
For the LORDH3068 will not cast offH5203 his peopleH5971, neither will he forsakeH5800 his inheritanceH5159.
But judgmentH4941 shall returnH7725 unto righteousnessH6664: and all the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall followH310 it. {shall follow…: Heb. shall be after it}
Who will rise upH6965 for me against the evildoersH7489? or who will stand upH3320 for me against the workersH6466 of iniquityH205?
UnlessH3884 the LORDH3068 had been my helpH5833, my soulH5315 had almostH4592 dweltH7931 in silenceH1745. {almost: or, quickly}
When I saidH559, My footH7272 slippethH4131; thy mercyH2617, O LORDH3068, held me upH5582.
In the multitudeH7230 of my thoughtsH8312 withinH7130 me thy comfortsH8575 delightH8173 my soulH5315.
Shall the throneH3678 of iniquityH1942 have fellowshipH2266 with thee, which framethH3335 mischiefH5999 by a lawH2706?
They gather themselves togetherH1413 against the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561 the innocentH5355 bloodH1818.
But the LORDH3068 is my defenceH4869; and my GodH430 is the rockH6697 of my refugeH4268.
And he shall bringH7725 upon them their own iniquityH205, and shall cut them offH6789 in their own wickednessH7451; yea, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall cut them offH6789.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I will singH7891 of mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941: unto thee, O LORDH3068, will I singH2167.
I will behave myself wiselyH7919 in a perfectH8549 wayH1870. O when wilt thou comeH935 unto me? I will walkH1980 withinH7130 my houseH1004 with a perfectH8537 heartH3824.
I will setH7896 no wickedH1100 thingH1697 before mine eyesH5869: I hateH8130 the workH6213 of them that turn asideH7750; it shall not cleaveH1692 to me. {wicked…: Heb. thing of Belial}
A frowardH6141 heartH3824 shall departH5493 from me: I will not knowH3045 a wickedH7451 person.
Whoso privilyH5643 slanderethH3960+H3960 his neighbourH7453, him will I cut offH6789: him that hath an highH1362 lookH5869 and a proudH7342 heartH3824 will not I sufferH3201.
Mine eyesH5869 shall be upon the faithfulH539 of the landH776, that they may dwellH3427 with me: he that walkethH1980 in a perfectH8549 wayH1870, he shall serveH8334 me. {in a…: or, perfect in the way}
He that workethH6213 deceitH7423 shall not dwellH3427 withinH7130 my houseH1004: he that tellethH1696 liesH8267 shall not tarryH3559 in my sightH5869. {shall not tarry: Heb. shall not be established}
I will earlyH1242 destroyH6789 all the wickedH7563 of the landH776; that I may cut offH3772 all wickedH205 doersH6466 from the cityH5892 of the LORDH3068.
A PrayerH8605 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 the rightH6664, O LORDH3068, attendH7181 unto my cryH7440, give earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feignedH4820 lipsH8193. {the right: Heb. justice} {not…: Heb. without lips of deceit}
Let my sentenceH4941 come forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; let thine eyesH5869 beholdH2372 the things that are equalH4339.
Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH6884 me, and shalt findH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.
Concerning the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 me from the pathsH734 of the destroyerH6530.
Hold upH8551 my goingsH838 in thy pathsH4570, that my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not. {slip…: Heb. be not moved}
I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hearH6030 me, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Shew thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them which put their trustH2620 in thee from those that rise upH6965 against them. {by thy…: or, them which trust in thee from those that rise up against thy right hand}
KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH1323+H5869, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,
FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, from my deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, who compass me aboutH5362. {oppress: Heb. waste} {my…: Heb. my enemies against the soul}
They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348.
They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838: they have setH7896 their eyesH5869 bowing downH5186 to the earthH776;
LikeH1825 as a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, and as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565. {Like…: Heb. The likeness of him (that is, of every one of them) is as a lion that desireth to ravin} {lurking: Heb. sitting}
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
From menH4962 which are thy handH3027, O LORDH3068, from menH4962 of the worldH2465, which have their portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and whose bellyH990 thou fillestH4390 with thy hidH6840 treasure: they are fullH7646 of childrenH1121, and leaveH3240 the restH3499 of their substance to their babesH5768. {which are: or, by} {they…: or, their children are full}
As for me, I will beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664: I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awakeH6974, with thy likenessH8544.
A PrayerH8605 of DavidH1732. Bow downH5186 thine earH241, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me: for I am poorH6041 and needyH34. {A Prayer…: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of David}
PreserveH8104 my soulH5315; for I am holyH2623: O thou my GodH430, saveH3467 thy servantH5650 that trustethH982 in thee. {holy: or, one whom thou favourest}
Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O LordH136: for I cryH7121 unto thee dailyH3117. {daily: or, all the day}
RejoiceH8055 the soulH5315 of thy servantH5650: for unto thee, O LordH136, do I lift upH5375 my soulH5315.
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
Give earH238, O LORDH3068, unto my prayerH8605; and attendH7181 to the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.
In the dayH3117 of my troubleH6869 I will callH7121 upon thee: for thou wilt answerH6030 me.
Among the godsH430 there is none like unto thee, O LordH136; neither are there any works like unto thy worksH4639.
All nationsH1471 whom thou hast madeH6213 shall comeH935 and worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee, O LordH136; and shall glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034.
For thou art greatH1419, and doestH6213 wondrous thingsH6381: thou art GodH430 alone.
TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O LORDH3068; I will walkH1980 in thy truthH571: uniteH3161 my heartH3824 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034.
I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136 my GodH430, with all my heartH3824: and I will glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034 for evermoreH5769.
For greatH1419 is thy mercyH2617 toward me: and thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from the lowestH8482 hellH7585. {hell: or, grave}
O GodH430, the proudH2086 are risenH6965 against me, and the assembliesH5712 of violentH6184 men have soughtH1245 after my soulH5315; and have not setH7760 thee before them. {violent: Heb. terrible}
But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 full of compassionH7349, and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 and truthH571.
O turnH6437 unto me, and have mercyH2603 upon me; giveH5414 thy strengthH5797 unto thy servantH5650, and saveH3467 the sonH1121 of thine handmaidH519.
ShewH6213 me a tokenH226 for goodH2896; that they which hateH8130 me may seeH7200 it, and be ashamedH954: because thou, LORDH3068, hast holpenH5826 me, and comfortedH5162 me.
A PrayerH8605 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. LordH136, thou hast been our dwelling placeH4583 in allH1755 generationsH1755. {A Prayer…: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of Moses} {in…: Heb. in generation and generation}
Before the mountainsH2022 were brought forthH3205, or ever thou hadst formedH2342 the earthH776 and the worldH8398, even from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769, thou art GodH410.
Thou turnestH7725 manH582 to destructionH1793; and sayestH559, ReturnH7725, ye childrenH1121 of menH120.
For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in thy sightH5869 are but asH3117 yesterdayH865 when it is pastH5674, and as a watchH821 in the nightH3915. {when…: or, when he hath passed them}
Thou carriest them away as with a floodH2229; they are as a sleepH8142: in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which groweth upH2498. {groweth…: or, is changed}
In the morningH1242 it flourishethH6692, and groweth upH2498; in the eveningH6153 it is cut downH4135, and witherethH3001.
For we are consumedH3615 by thine angerH639, and by thy wrathH2534 are we troubledH926.
Thou hast setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 before thee, our secretH5956 sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenanceH6440.
For all our daysH3117 are passed awayH6437 in thy wrathH5678: we spendH3615 our yearsH8141 as a taleH1899 that is told. {passed…: Heb. turned away} {as a…: or, as a meditation}
The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescoreH7657 yearsH8141 and tenH7657; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468, and we fly awayH5774. {The days…: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years}
Who knowethH3045 the powerH5797 of thine angerH639? even according to thy fearH3374, so is thy wrathH5678.
So teachH3045 us to numberH4487 our daysH3117, that we may applyH935 our heartsH3824 unto wisdomH2451. {apply: Heb. cause to come}
ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, how long? and let it repentH5162 thee concerning thy servantsH5650.
O satisfyH7646 us earlyH1242 with thy mercyH2617; that we may rejoiceH7442 and be gladH8055 all our daysH3117.
Make us gladH8055 according to the daysH3117 wherein thou hast afflictedH6031 us, and the yearsH8141 wherein we have seenH7200 evilH7451.
Let thy workH6467 appearH7200 unto thy servantsH5650, and thy gloryH1926 unto their childrenH1121.
And let the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 be upon us: and establishH3559 thou the workH4639 of our handsH3027 upon us; yea, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 thou it.
A PrayerH8605 of the afflictedH6041, when he is overwhelmedH5848, and poureth outH8210 his complaintH7879 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and let my cryH7775 comeH935 unto thee. {of: or, for}
HideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me in the dayH3117 when I am in troubleH6862; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me: in the dayH3117 when I callH7121 answerH6030 me speedilyH4118.
For my daysH3117 are consumedH3615 like smokeH6227, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 as an hearthH4168. {like…: or, (as some read) into smoke}
My heartH3820 is smittenH5221, and witheredH3001 like grassH6212; so that I forgetH7911 to eatH398 my breadH3899.
By reason of the voiceH6963 of my groaningH585 my bonesH6106 cleaveH1692 to my skinH1320. {skin: or, flesh}
I am likeH1819 a pelicanH6893 of the wildernessH4057: I am like an owlH3563 of the desertH2723.
I watchH8245, and am as a sparrowH6833 aloneH909 upon the house topH1406.
Mine enemiesH341 reproachH2778 me all the dayH3117; and they that are madH1984 against me are swornH7650 against me.
For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899, and mingledH4537 my drinkH8249 with weepingH1065,
BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrathH7110: for thou hast lifted me upH5375, and cast me downH7993.
My daysH3117 are like a shadowH6738 that declinethH5186; and I am witheredH3001 like grassH6212.
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt endureH3427 for everH5769; and thy remembranceH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt ariseH6965, and have mercyH7355 upon ZionH6726: for the timeH6256 to favourH2603 her, yea, the set timeH4150, is comeH935.
For thy servantsH5650 take pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68, and favourH2603 the dustH6083 thereof.
So the heathenH1471 shall fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 thy gloryH3519.
When the LORDH3068 shall build upH1129 ZionH6726, he shall appearH7200 in his gloryH3519.
He will regardH6437 the prayerH8605 of the destituteH6199, and not despiseH959 their prayerH8605.
This shall be writtenH3789 for the generationH1755 to comeH314: and the peopleH5971 which shall be createdH1254 shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3050.
For he hath looked downH8259 from the heightH4791 of his sanctuaryH6944; from heavenH8064 did the LORDH3068 beholdH5027 the earthH776;
To hearH8085 the groaningH603 of the prisonerH615; to looseH6605 those that are appointedH1121 to deathH8546; {those…: Heb. the children of death}
To declareH5608 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726, and his praiseH8416 in JerusalemH3389;
When the peopleH5971 are gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and the kingdomsH4467, to serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
He weakenedH6031 my strengthH3581 in the wayH1870; he shortenedH7114 my daysH3117. {weakened: Heb. afflicted}
I saidH559, O my GodH410, take me not awayH5927 in the midstH2677 of my daysH3117: thy yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776: and the heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
They shall perishH6, but thou shalt endureH5975: yea, all of them shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899; as a vestureH3830 shalt thou changeH2498 them, and they shall be changedH2498: {endure: Heb. stand}
But thou art the same, and thy yearsH8141 shall have no endH8552.
The childrenH1121 of thy servantsH5650 shall continueH7931, and their seedH2233 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
MaschilH4905 of DavidH1732; A PrayerH8605 when he was in the caveH4631. I criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 with my voiceH6963; with my voiceH6963 unto the LORDH3068 did I make my supplicationH2603. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm of David, giving instruction}
I poured outH8210 my complaintH7879 beforeH6440 him; I shewedH5046 beforeH6440 him my troubleH6869.
When my spiritH7307 was overwhelmedH5848 within me, then thou knewestH3045 my pathH5410. In the wayH734 whereinH2098 I walkedH1980 have they privily laidH2934 a snareH6341 for me.
I lookedH5027 on my right handH3225, and beheldH7200, but there was no man that would knowH5234 me: refugeH4498 failedH6 me; no man caredH1875 for my soulH5315. {I looked…: or, Look on the right hand, and see} {failed…: Heb. perished from me} {cared…: Heb. sought after}
I criedH2199 unto thee, O LORDH3068: I saidH559, Thou art my refugeH4268 and my portionH2506 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
AttendH7181 unto my cryH7440; for I am broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809: deliverH5337 me from my persecutorsH7291; for they are strongerH553 than I.
BringH3318 my soulH5315 out of prisonH4525, that I may praiseH3034 thy nameH8034: the righteousH6662 shall compass me aboutH3803; for thou shalt deal bountifullyH1580 with me.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, when he fledH1272 fromH6440 AbsalomH53 his sonH1121. LORDH3068, how are they increasedH7231 that troubleH6862 me! manyH7227 are they that rise upH6965 against me.
ManyH7227 there be which sayH559 of my soulH5315, There is no helpH3444 for him in GodH430. SelahH5542.
But thou, O LORDH3068, art a shieldH4043 for me; my gloryH3519, and the lifter upH7311 of mine headH7218. {for: or, about}
I criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068 with my voiceH6963, and he heardH6030 me out of his holyH6944 hillH2022. SelahH5542.
I laid me downH7901 and sleptH3462; I awakedH6974; for the LORDH3068 sustainedH5564 me.
I will not be afraidH3372 of ten thousandsH7233 of peopleH5971, that have setH7896 themselves against me round aboutH5439.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; saveH3467 me, O my GodH430: for thou hast smittenH5221 all mine enemiesH341 upon the cheek boneH3895; thou hast brokenH7665 the teethH8127 of the ungodlyH7563.
SalvationH3444 belongeth unto the LORDH3068: thy blessingH1293 is upon thy peopleH5971. SelahH5542.
MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. PreserveH8104 me, O GodH410: for in thee do I put my trustH2620. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}
O my soul, thou hast saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my LordH136: my goodnessH2896 extendeth not to thee;
But to the saintsH6918 thatH1992 are in the earthH776, and to the excellentH117, in whom is all my delightH2656.
Their sorrowsH6094 shall be multipliedH7235 that hastenH4116 after anotherH312 god: their drink offeringsH5262 of bloodH1818 will I not offerH5258, norH1077 take upH5375 their namesH8034 into my lipsH8193. {hasten…: or, give gifts to another}
The LORDH3068 is the portionH4490 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainestH8551 my lotH1486. {of mine…: Heb. of my part}
The linesH2256 are fallenH5307 unto me in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodlyH8231 heritageH5159.
I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068, who hath given me counselH3289: my reinsH3629 also instructH3256 me in the night seasonsH3915.
I have setH7737 the LORDH3068 alwaysH8548 before me: because he is at my right handH3225, I shall not be movedH4131.
Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983. {rest…: Heb. dwell confidently}
For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
A Psalm of DavidH1732. Unto thee will I cryH7121, O LORDH3068 my rockH6697; be not silentH2814 to me: lest, if thou be silentH2790 to me, I becomeH4911 like them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {to me: Heb. from me}
HearH8085 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, when I cryH7768 unto thee, when I lift upH5375 my handsH3027 toward thy holyH6944 oracleH1687. {thy…: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary}
Draw me not awayH4900 with the wickedH7563, and with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, which speakH1696 peaceH7965 to their neighboursH7453, but mischiefH7451 is in their heartsH3824.
GiveH5414 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the wickednessH7455 of their endeavoursH4611: giveH5414 them after the workH4639 of their handsH3027; renderH7725 to them their desertH1576.
Because they regardH995 not the worksH6468 of the LORDH3068, nor the operationH4639 of his handsH3027, he shall destroyH2040 them, and not build them upH1129.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, because he hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.
The LORDH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my shieldH4043; my heartH3820 trustedH982 in him, and I am helpedH5826: therefore my heartH3820 greatly rejoicethH5937; and with my songH7892 will I praiseH3034 him.
The LORDH3068 is their strengthH5797, and he is the savingH3444 strengthH4581 of his anointedH4899. {their: or, his} {saving…: Heb. strength of salvations}
SaveH3467 thy peopleH5971, and blessH1288 thine inheritanceH5159: feedH7462 them also, and lift them upH5375 for everH5769. {feed: or, rule}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. BlessedH835 is he that considerethH7919 the poorH1800: the LORDH3068 will deliverH4422 him in timeH3117 of troubleH7451. {the poor: or, the weak, or, sick} {in time…: Heb. in the day of evil}
The LORDH3068 will preserveH8104 him, and keep him aliveH2421; and he shall be blessedH833 upon the earthH776: and thou wilt not deliverH5414 him unto the willH5315 of his enemiesH341. {thou…: or, do not thou deliver}
The LORDH3068 will strengthenH5582 him upon the bedH6210 of languishingH1741: thou wilt makeH2015 all his bedH4904 in his sicknessH2483. {make: Heb. turn}
I saidH559, LORDH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me: healH7495 my soulH5315; for I have sinnedH2398 against thee.
Mine enemiesH341 speakH559 evilH7451 of me, When shall he dieH4191, and his nameH8034 perishH6?
And if he comeH935 to seeH7200 me, he speakethH1696 vanityH7723: his heartH3820 gatherethH6908 iniquityH205 to itself; when he goethH3318 abroadH2351, he tellethH1696 it.
All that hateH8130 me whisperH3907 togetherH3162 against me: against me do they deviseH2803 my hurtH7451. {my…: Heb. evil to me}
An evilH1100 diseaseH1697, say they, cleaveth fastH3332 unto him: and now that he liethH7901 he shall rise upH6965 no moreH3254. {An…: Heb. A thing of Belial}
Yea, mine own familiarH7965 friendH376, in whom I trustedH982, which did eatH398 of my breadH3899, hath lifted upH1431 his heelH6119 against me. {mine…: Heb. the man of my peace} {lifted…: Heb. magnified}
But thou, O LORDH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me, and raise me upH6965, that I may requiteH7999 them.
By this I knowH3045 that thou favourestH2654 me, because mine enemyH341 doth not triumphH7321 over me.
And as for me, thou upholdestH8551 me in mine integrityH8537, and settestH5324 me before thy faceH6440 for everH5769.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769, and to everlastingH5769. AmenH543, and AmenH543.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732, when the ZiphimsH2130 cameH935 and saidH559 to SaulH7586, Doth not DavidH1732 hideH5641 himself with us? SaveH3467 me, O GodH430, by thy nameH8034, and judgeH1777 me by thy strengthH1369.
HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O GodH430; give earH238 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
For strangersH2114 are risen upH6965 against me, and oppressorsH6184 seekH1245 after my soulH5315: they have not setH7760 GodH430 before them. SelahH5542.
Behold, GodH430 is mine helperH5826: the LordH136 is with them that upholdH5564 my soulH5315.
He shall rewardH7725+H7725 evilH7451 unto mine enemiesH8324: cut them offH6789 in thy truthH571. {mine…: Heb. those that observe me}
I will freelyH5071 sacrificeH2076 unto thee: I will praiseH3034 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068; for it is goodH2896.
For he hath deliveredH5337 me out of all troubleH6869: and mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 his desire upon mine enemiesH341.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon JonathelemrechokimH3128, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, when the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him in GathH1661. Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O GodH430: for manH582 would swallow me upH7602; he fightingH3898 dailyH3117 oppressethH3905 me. {Michtam…: or, A golden Psalm of David}
Mine enemiesH8324 would dailyH3117 swallowH7602 me up: for they be manyH7227 that fightH3898 against me, O thou most HighH4791. {enemies: Heb. observers}
What timeH3117 I am afraidH3372, I will trustH982 in thee.
In GodH430 I will praiseH1984 his wordH1697, in GodH430 I have put my trustH982; I will not fearH3372 what fleshH1320 can doH6213 unto me.
Every dayH3117 they wrestH6087 my wordsH1697: all their thoughtsH4284 are against me for evilH7451.
They gather themselves togetherH1481, they hideH6845+H6845 themselves, they markH8104 my stepsH6119, when they waitH6960 for my soulH5315.
Shall they escapeH6405 by iniquityH205? in thine angerH639 cast downH3381 the peopleH5971, O GodH430.
Thou tellestH5608 my wanderingsH5112: putH7760 thou my tearsH1832 into thy bottleH4997: are they not in thy bookH5612?
WhenH3117 I cryH7121 unto thee, then shall mine enemiesH341 turnH7725 backH268: this I knowH3045; for GodH430 is for me.
In GodH430 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697: in the LORDH3068 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697.
In GodH430 have I put my trustH982: I will not be afraidH3372 what manH120 can doH6213 unto me.
Thy vowsH5088 are upon me, O GodH430: I will renderH7999 praisesH8426 unto thee.
For thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from deathH4194: wilt not thou deliver my feetH7272 from fallingH1762, that I may walkH1980 beforeH6440 GodH430 in the lightH216 of the livingH2416?
To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732; when SaulH7586 sentH7971, and they watchedH8104 the houseH1004 to kill himH4191. DeliverH5337 me from mine enemiesH341, O my GodH430: defendH7682 me from them that rise upH6965 against me. {Altaschith…: or, To the chief Musician, destroy not, a golden Psalm of David} {defend…: Heb. set me on high}
DeliverH5337 me from the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and saveH3467 me from bloodyH1818 menH582.
For, lo, they lie in waitH693 for my soulH5315: the mightyH5794 are gatheredH1481 against me; not for my transgressionH6588, nor for my sinH2403, O LORDH3068.
They runH7323 and prepareH3559 themselves without my faultH5771: awakeH5782 to helpH7125 me, and beholdH7200. {help: Heb. meet}
Thou therefore, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, awakeH6974 to visitH6485 all the heathenH1471: be not mercifulH2603 to any wickedH205 transgressorsH898. SelahH5542.
They returnH7725 at eveningH6153: they make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt laughH7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathenH1471 in derisionH3932.
Because of his strengthH5797 will I waitH8104 upon thee: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869. {defence: Heb. high place}
The GodH430 of my mercyH2617 shall preventH6923 me: GodH430 shall let me seeH7200 my desire upon mine enemiesH8324. {enemies: Heb. observers}
SlayH2026 them not, lest my peopleH5971 forgetH7911: scatterH5128 them by thy powerH2428; and bring them downH3381, O LordH136 our shieldH4043.
For the sinH2403 of their mouthH6310 and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193 let them even be takenH3920 in their prideH1347: and for cursingH423 and lyingH3585 which they speakH5608.
ConsumeH3615 them in wrathH2534, consumeH3615 them, that they may not be: and let them knowH3045 that GodH430 rulethH4910 in JacobH3290 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. SelahH5542.
And at eveningH6153 let them returnH7725; and let them make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Let them wander up and downH5128+H5128 for meatH398, and grudgeH3885 if they be not satisfiedH7646. {for meat: Heb. to eat} {and grudge…: or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night}
But I will singH7891 of thy powerH5797; yea, I will sing aloudH7442 of thy mercyH2617 in the morningH1242: for thou hast been my defenceH4869 and refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of my troubleH6862.
Unto thee, O my strengthH5797, will I singH2167: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869, and the GodH430 of my mercyH2617.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShushaneduthH7802, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, to teachH3925; when he stroveH5327 with AramnaharaimH763+H5104 and with AramzobahH760, when JoabH3097 returnedH7725, and smoteH5221 of EdomH123 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417 twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505. O GodH430, thou hast cast us offH2186, thou hast scatteredH6555 us, thou hast been displeasedH599; O turn thyself to us againH7725. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm} {scattered: Heb. broken}
Thou hast made the earthH776 to trembleH7493; thou hast brokenH6480 it: healH7495 the breachesH7667 thereof; for it shakethH4131.
Thou hast shewedH7200 thy peopleH5971 hard thingsH7186: thou hast made us to drinkH8248 the wineH3196 of astonishmentH8653.
Thou hast givenH5414 a bannerH5251 to them that fearH3373 thee, that it may be displayedH5127 becauseH6440 of the truthH7189. SelahH5542.
That thy belovedH3039 may be deliveredH2502; saveH3467 with thy right handH3225, and hearH6030 me.
GodH430 hath spokenH1696 in his holinessH6944; I will rejoiceH5937, I will divideH2505 ShechemH7927, and mete outH4058 the valleyH6010 of SuccothH5523.
GileadH1568 is mine, and ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
MoabH4124 is my washpotH5518+H7366; over EdomH123 will I cast outH7993 my shoeH5275: PhilistiaH6429, triumphH7321 thou because of me. {triumph…: or, triumph thou over me: (by an irony)}
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4692 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123? {strong…: Heb. city of strength?}
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, which hadst cast us offH2186? and thou, O GodH430, which didst not go outH3318 with our armiesH6635?
GiveH3051 us helpH5833 from troubleH6862: for vainH7723 is the helpH8668 of manH120. {help of man: Heb. salvation, etc}
Through GodH430 we shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428: for he it is that shall tread downH947 our enemiesH6862.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon NeginahH5058, A Psalm of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my cryH7440, O GodH430; attendH7181 unto my prayerH8605.
From the endH7097 of the earthH776 will I cryH7121 unto thee, when my heartH3820 is overwhelmedH5848: leadH5148 me to the rockH6697 that is higherH7311 than I.
For thou hast been a shelterH4268 for me, and a strongH5797 towerH4026 fromH6440 the enemyH341.
I will abideH1481 in thy tabernacleH168 for everH5769: I will trustH2620 in the covertH5643 of thy wingsH3671. SelahH5542. {trust: or, make my refuge}
For thou, O GodH430, hast heardH8085 my vowsH5088: thou hast givenH5414 me the heritageH3425 of those that fearH3373 thy nameH8034.
Thou wilt prolongH3254 the king'sH4428 lifeH3117+H3117: and his yearsH8141 as manyH1755 generationsH1755. {Thou…: Heb. Thou shalt add days to the days of the king} {as…: Heb. as generation and generation}
He shall abideH3427 beforeH6440 GodH430 for everH5769: O prepareH4487 mercyH2617 and truthH571, which may preserveH5341 him.
So will I singH2167 praise unto thy nameH8034 for everH5703, that I may dailyH3117+H3117 performH7999 my vowsH5088.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892. GodH430 be mercifulH2603 unto us, and blessH1288 us; and cause his faceH6440 to shineH215 upon us; SelahH5542. {upon: Heb. with}
That thy wayH1870 may be knownH3045 upon earthH776, thy saving healthH3444 among all nationsH1471.
Let the peopleH5971 praiseH3034 thee, O GodH430; let all the peopleH5971 praiseH3034 thee.
O let the nationsH3816 be gladH8055 and sing for joyH7442: for thou shalt judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 righteouslyH4334, and governH5148 the nationsH3816 upon earthH776. SelahH5542. {govern: Heb. lead}
Let the peopleH5971 praiseH3034 thee, O GodH430; let all the peopleH5971 praiseH3034 thee.
Then shall the earthH776 yieldH5414 her increaseH2981; and GodH430, even our own GodH430, shall blessH1288 us.
GodH430 shall blessH1288 us; and all the endsH657 of the earthH776 shall fearH3372 him.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732, to bring to remembranceH2142. Make haste, O GodH430, to deliverH5337 me; make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me, O LORDH3068. {to help…: Heb. to my help}
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315: let them be turnedH5472 backwardH268, and put to confusionH3637, that desireH2655 my hurtH7451.
Let them be turned backH7725 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559, AhaH1889, ahaH1889.
Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: and let such as loveH157 thy salvationH3444 sayH559 continuallyH8548, Let GodH430 be magnifiedH1431.
But I am poorH6041 and needyH34: make hasteH2363 unto me, O GodH430: thou art my helpH5828 and my delivererH6403; O LORDH3068, make no tarryingH309.
A PrayerH8605 of DavidH1732. Bow downH5186 thine earH241, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me: for I am poorH6041 and needyH34. {A Prayer…: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of David}
PreserveH8104 my soulH5315; for I am holyH2623: O thou my GodH430, saveH3467 thy servantH5650 that trustethH982 in thee. {holy: or, one whom thou favourest}
Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O LordH136: for I cryH7121 unto thee dailyH3117. {daily: or, all the day}
RejoiceH8055 the soulH5315 of thy servantH5650: for unto thee, O LordH136, do I lift upH5375 my soulH5315.
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
Give earH238, O LORDH3068, unto my prayerH8605; and attendH7181 to the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.
In the dayH3117 of my troubleH6869 I will callH7121 upon thee: for thou wilt answerH6030 me.
Among the godsH430 there is none like unto thee, O LordH136; neither are there any works like unto thy worksH4639.
All nationsH1471 whom thou hast madeH6213 shall comeH935 and worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee, O LordH136; and shall glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034.
For thou art greatH1419, and doestH6213 wondrous thingsH6381: thou art GodH430 alone.
TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O LORDH3068; I will walkH1980 in thy truthH571: uniteH3161 my heartH3824 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034.
I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136 my GodH430, with all my heartH3824: and I will glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034 for evermoreH5769.
For greatH1419 is thy mercyH2617 toward me: and thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from the lowestH8482 hellH7585. {hell: or, grave}
O GodH430, the proudH2086 are risenH6965 against me, and the assembliesH5712 of violentH6184 men have soughtH1245 after my soulH5315; and have not setH7760 thee before them. {violent: Heb. terrible}
But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 full of compassionH7349, and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 and truthH571.
O turnH6437 unto me, and have mercyH2603 upon me; giveH5414 thy strengthH5797 unto thy servantH5650, and saveH3467 the sonH1121 of thine handmaidH519.
ShewH6213 me a tokenH226 for goodH2896; that they which hateH8130 me may seeH7200 it, and be ashamedH954: because thou, LORDH3068, hast holpenH5826 me, and comfortedH5162 me.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 of DavidH1732. I was gladH8055 when they saidH559 unto me, Let us goH3212 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Our feetH7272 shall standH5975 within thy gatesH8179, O JerusalemH3389.
JerusalemH3389 is buildedH1129 as a cityH5892 that is compactH2266 togetherH3162:
WhitherH8033 the tribesH7626 go upH5927, the tribesH7626 of the LORDH3050, unto the testimonyH5715 of IsraelH3478, to give thanksH3034 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
For there are setH3427 thronesH3678 of judgmentH4941, the thronesH3678 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732. {are…: Heb. do sit}
PrayH7592 for the peaceH7965 of JerusalemH3389: they shall prosperH7951 that loveH157 thee.
PeaceH7965 be within thy wallsH2426, and prosperityH7962 within thy palacesH759.
For my brethrenH251 and companions'H7453 sakes, I will now sayH1696, PeaceH7965 be within thee.
Because of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 I will seekH1245 thy goodH2896.
A Psalm of DavidH1732. BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 my strengthH6697, which teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH7128, and my fingersH676 to fightH4421: {strength: Heb. rock} {to war…: Heb. to the war, etc}
My goodnessH2617, and my fortressH4686; my high towerH4869, and my delivererH6403; my shieldH4043, and he in whom I trustH2620; who subduethH7286 my peopleH5971 under me. {My goodness: or, My mercy}
LORDH3068, what is manH120, that thou takest knowledgeH3045 of him! or the sonH1121 of manH582, that thou makest accountH2803 of him!
ManH120 is likeH1819 to vanityH1892: his daysH3117 are as a shadowH6738 that passeth awayH5674.
BowH5186 thy heavensH8064, O LORDH3068, and come downH3381: touchH5060 the mountainsH2022, and they shall smokeH6225.
Cast forthH1299 lightningH1300, and scatterH6327 them: shoot outH7971 thine arrowsH2671, and destroyH2000 them.
SendH7971 thine handH3027 from aboveH4791; ridH6475 me, and deliverH5337 me out of greatH7227 watersH4325, from the handH3027 of strangeH5236 childrenH1121; {hand from: Heb. hands from}
Whose mouthH6310 speakethH1696 vanityH7723, and their right handH3225 is a right handH3225 of falsehoodH8267.
I will singH7891 a newH2319 songH7892 unto thee, O GodH430: upon a psalteryH5035 and an instrument of ten stringsH6218 will I sing praisesH2167 unto thee.
It is he that givethH5414 salvationH8668 unto kingsH4428: who deliverethH6475 DavidH1732 his servantH5650 from the hurtfulH7451 swordH2719. {salvation: or, victory}
RidH6475 me, and deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of strangeH5236 childrenH1121, whose mouthH6310 speakethH1696 vanityH7723, and their right handH3225 is a right handH3225 of falsehoodH8267:
That our sonsH1121 may be as plantsH5195 grown upH1431 in their youthH5271; that our daughtersH1323 may be as corner stonesH2106, polishedH2404 after the similitudeH8403 of a palaceH1964: {polished: Heb. cut}
That our garnersH4200 may be fullH4392, affordingH6329 all manner of storeH2177+H2177: that our sheepH6629 may bring forth thousandsH503 and ten thousandsH7231 in our streetsH2351: {all…: Heb. from kind to kind}
That our oxenH441 may be strong to labourH5445; that there be no breaking inH6556, nor going outH3318; that there be no complainingH6682 in our streetsH7339. {strong…: Heb. able to bear burdens, or, loaden with flesh}
HappyH835 is that peopleH5971, that is in such a caseH3602: yea, happyH835 is that peopleH5971, whose GodH430 is the LORDH3068.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, when he fledH1272 fromH6440 AbsalomH53 his sonH1121. LORDH3068, how are they increasedH7231 that troubleH6862 me! manyH7227 are they that rise upH6965 against me.
ManyH7227 there be which sayH559 of my soulH5315, There is no helpH3444 for him in GodH430. SelahH5542.
But thou, O LORDH3068, art a shieldH4043 for me; my gloryH3519, and the lifter upH7311 of mine headH7218. {for: or, about}
I criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068 with my voiceH6963, and he heardH6030 me out of his holyH6944 hillH2022. SelahH5542.
I laid me downH7901 and sleptH3462; I awakedH6974; for the LORDH3068 sustainedH5564 me.
I will not be afraidH3372 of ten thousandsH7233 of peopleH5971, that have setH7896 themselves against me round aboutH5439.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; saveH3467 me, O my GodH430: for thou hast smittenH5221 all mine enemiesH341 upon the cheek boneH3895; thou hast brokenH7665 the teethH8127 of the ungodlyH7563.
SalvationH3444 belongeth unto the LORDH3068: thy blessingH1293 is upon thy peopleH5971. SelahH5542.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon NehilothH5155, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Give earH238 to my wordsH561, O LORDH3068, considerH995 my meditationH1901.
HearkenH7181 unto the voiceH6963 of my cryH7773, my KingH4428, and my GodH430: for unto thee will I prayH6419.
My voiceH6963 shalt thou hearH8085 in the morningH1242, O LORDH3068; in the morningH1242 will I directH6186 my prayer unto thee, and will look upH6822.
For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickednessH7562: neither shall evilH7451 dwellH1481 with thee.
The foolishH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sightH5869: thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquityH205. {in…: Heb. before thine eyes}
Thou shalt destroyH6 them that speakH1696 leasingH3577: the LORDH3068 will abhorH8581 the bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 manH376. {bloody…: Heb. man of bloods and deceit}
But as for me, I will comeH935 into thy houseH1004 in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617: and in thy fearH3374 will I worshipH7812 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964. {thy holy…: Heb. the temple of thy holiness}
LeadH5148 me, O LORDH3068, in thy righteousnessH6666 because of mine enemiesH8324; make thy wayH1870 straightH3474 before my faceH6440. {mine…: Heb. those which observe me}
For there is no faithfulnessH3559 in their mouthH6310; their inwardH7130 part is very wickednessH1942; their throatH1627 is an openH6605 sepulchreH6913; they flatterH2505 with their tongueH3956. {faithfulness: or, stedfastness} {their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them} {very…: Heb. wickednesses}
DestroyH816 thou them, O GodH430; let them fallH5307 by their own counselsH4156; cast them outH5080 in the multitudeH7230 of their transgressionsH6588; for they have rebelledH4784 against thee. {Destroy…: or, Make them guilty} {by…: or, from their counsels}
But let all those that put their trustH2620 in thee rejoiceH8055: let them everH5769 shout for joyH7442, because thou defendestH5526 them: let them also that loveH157 thy nameH8034 be joyfulH5970 in thee. {defendest…: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them}
For thou, LORDH3068, wilt blessH1288 the righteousH6662; with favourH7522 wilt thou compassH5849 him as with a shieldH6793. {compass: Heb. crown}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The heavensH8064 declareH5608 the gloryH3519 of GodH410; and the firmamentH7549 sheweth hisH5046 handyworkH4639+H3027.
DayH3117 unto dayH3117 utterethH5042 speechH562, and nightH3915 unto nightH3915 shewethH2331 knowledgeH1847.
There is no speechH562 nor languageH1697, where their voiceH6963 is not heardH8085. {where…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard}
Their lineH6957 is gone outH3318 through all the earthH776, and their wordsH4405 to the endH7097 of the worldH8398. In them hath he setH7760 a tabernacleH168 for the sunH8121, {line: or, rule, or, direction}
Which is as a bridegroomH2860 coming outH3318 of his chamberH2646, and rejoicethH7797 as a strong manH1368 to runH7323 a raceH734.
His going forthH4161 is from the endH7097 of the heavenH8064, and his circuitH8622 unto the endsH7098 of it: and there is nothing hidH5641 from the heatH2535 thereof.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
Who can understandH995 his errorsH7691? cleanseH5352 thou me from secretH5641 faults.
Keep backH2820 thy servantH5650 also from presumptuousH2086 sins; let them not have dominionH4910 over me: then shall I be uprightH8552, and I shall be innocentH5352 from the greatH7227 transgressionH6588. {the great: or, much}
Let the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310, and the meditationH1902 of my heartH3820, be acceptableH7522 in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068, my strengthH6697, and my redeemerH1350. {strength: Heb. rock}
To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, when he fledH1272 fromH6440 SaulH7586 in the caveH4631. Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O GodH430, be mercifulH2603 unto me: for my soulH5315 trustethH2620 in thee: yea, in the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671 will I make my refugeH2620, until these calamitiesH1942 be overpastH5674. {Altaschith: or, Destroy not}
I will cryH7121 unto GodH430 most highH5945; unto GodH410 that performethH1584 all things for me.
He shall sendH7971 from heavenH8064, and saveH3467 me from the reproachH2778 of him that would swallow me upH7602. SelahH5542. GodH430 shall send forthH7971 his mercyH2617 and his truthH571. {from the…: or, he reproacheth him that}
My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719.
Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064; let thy gloryH3519 be above all the earthH776.
They have preparedH3559 a netH7568 for my stepsH6471; my soulH5315 is bowed downH3721: they have diggedH3738 a pitH7882 beforeH6440 me, into the midstH8432 whereof they are fallenH5307 themselves. SelahH5542.
My heartH3820 is fixedH3559, O GodH430, my heartH3820 is fixedH3559: I will singH7891 and give praiseH2167. {fixed: or, prepared}
Awake upH5782, my gloryH3519; awakeH5782, psalteryH5035 and harpH3658: I myself will awakeH5782 earlyH7837.
I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136, among the peopleH5971: I will singH2167 unto thee among the nationsH3816.
For thy mercyH2617 is greatH1419 unto the heavensH8064, and thy truthH571 unto the cloudsH7834.
Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064: let thy gloryH3519 be above all the earthH776.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, when he was in the wildernessH4057 of JudahH3063. O GodH430, thou art my GodH410; early will I seekH7836 thee: my soulH5315 thirstethH6770 for thee, my fleshH1320 longethH3642 for thee in a dryH6723 and thirstyH5889 landH776, where noH1097 waterH4325 is; {thirsty: Heb. weary} {where…: without water}
To seeH7200 thy powerH5797 and thy gloryH3519, so as I have seenH2372 thee in the sanctuaryH6944.
Because thy lovingkindnessH2617 is betterH2896 than lifeH2416, my lipsH8193 shall praiseH7623 thee.
Thus will I blessH1288 thee while I liveH2416: I will lift upH5375 my handsH3709 in thy nameH8034.
My soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 as with marrowH2459 and fatnessH1880; and my mouthH6310 shall praiseH1984 thee with joyfulH7445 lipsH8193: {marrow: Heb. fatness}
When I rememberH2142 thee upon my bedH3326, and meditateH1897 on thee in the night watchesH821.
Because thou hast been my helpH5833, therefore in the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671 will I rejoiceH7442.
My soulH5315 followeth hardH1692 afterH310 thee: thy right handH3225 upholdethH8551 me.
But those that seekH1245 my soulH5315, to destroyH7722 it, shall goH935 into the lower partsH8482 of the earthH776.
They shall fallH5064 by the swordH3027+H2719: they shall be a portionH4521 for foxesH7776. {They shall fall…: Heb. They shall make him run out like water by the hands of}
But the kingH4428 shall rejoiceH8055 in GodH430; every one that swearethH7650 by him shall gloryH1984: but the mouthH6310 of them that speakH1696 liesH8267 shall be stoppedH5534.
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O GodH430, my heartH3820 is fixedH3559; I will singH7891 and give praiseH2167, even with my gloryH3519.
AwakeH5782, psalteryH5035 and harpH3658: I myself will awakeH5782 earlyH7837.
I will praiseH3034 thee, O LORDH3068, among the peopleH5971: and I will sing praisesH2167 unto thee among the nationsH3816.
For thy mercyH2617 is greatH1419 above the heavensH8064: and thy truthH571 reacheth unto the cloudsH7834. {clouds: or, skies}
Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064: and thy gloryH3519 above all the earthH776;
That thy belovedH3039 may be deliveredH2502: saveH3467 with thy right handH3225, and answerH6030 me.
GodH430 hath spokenH1696 in his holinessH6944; I will rejoiceH5937, I will divideH2505 ShechemH7927, and mete outH4058 the valleyH6010 of SuccothH5523.
GileadH1568 is mine; ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
MoabH4124 is my washpotH7366+H5518; over EdomH123 will I cast outH7993 my shoeH5275; over PhilistiaH6429 will I triumphH7321.
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4013 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, who hast cast us offH2186? and wilt not thou, O GodH430, go forthH3318 with our hostsH6635?
GiveH3051 us helpH5833 from troubleH6862: for vainH7723 is the helpH8668 of manH120.
Through GodH430 we shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428: for he it is that shall tread downH947 our enemiesH6862.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon GittithH1665, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068 our LordH113, how excellentH117 is thy nameH8034 in all the earthH776! who hast setH5414 thy gloryH1935 above the heavensH8064.
Out of the mouthH6310 of babesH5768 and sucklingsH3243 hast thou ordainedH3245 strengthH5797 because of thine enemiesH6887, that thou mightest stillH7673 the enemyH341 and the avengerH5358. {ordained: Heb. founded}
When I considerH7200 thy heavensH8064, the workH4639 of thy fingersH676, the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, which thou hast ordainedH3559;
What is manH582, that thou art mindfulH2142 of him? and the sonH1121 of manH120, that thou visitestH6485 him?
For thou hast made him a littleH4592 lowerH2637 than the angelsH430, and hast crownedH5849 him with gloryH3519 and honourH1926.
Thou madest him to have dominionH4910 over the worksH4639 of thy handsH3027; thou hast putH7896 all things under his feetH7272:
All sheepH6792 and oxenH504, yea, and the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704; {All…: Heb. Flocks and oxen all of them}
The fowlH6833 of the airH8064, and the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, and whatsoever passeth throughH5674 the pathsH734 of the seasH3220.
O LORDH3068 our LordH113, how excellentH117 is thy nameH8034 in all the earthH776!
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, give earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 me, and in thy righteousnessH6666.
And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.
For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.
Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmedH5848 within me; my heartH3820 withinH8432 me is desolateH8074.
I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.
HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 unto them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {lest…: or, for I am become like, etc}
Cause me to hearH8085 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242; for in thee do I trustH982: cause me to knowH3045 the wayH1870 whereinH2098 I should walkH3212; for I lift upH5375 my soulH5315 unto thee.
DeliverH5337 me, O LORDH3068, from mine enemiesH341: I flee unto thee to hideH3680 me. {flee…: Heb. hide me with thee}
TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.
QuickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, for thy name'sH8034 sake: for thy righteousness'H6666 sake bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869.
And of thy mercyH2617 cut offH6789 mine enemiesH341, and destroyH6 all them that afflictH6887 my soulH5315: for I am thy servantH5650.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH6030 me when I callH7121, O GodH430 of my righteousnessH6664: thou hast enlargedH7337 me when I was in distressH6862; have mercyH2603 upon me, and hearH8085 my prayerH8605. {chief…: or, overseer} {have…: or, be gracious unto me}
O ye sonsH1121 of menH376, how longH5704 will ye turn my gloryH3519 into shameH3639? how long will ye loveH157 vanityH7385, and seekH1245 after leasingH3577? SelahH5542.
But knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath set apartH6395 him that is godlyH2623 for himself: the LORDH3068 will hearH8085 when I callH7121 unto him.
Stand in aweH7264, and sinH2398 not: communeH559 with your own heartH3824 upon your bedH4904, and be stillH1826. SelahH5542.
OfferH2076 the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, and put your trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
Thou hast putH5414 gladnessH8057 in my heartH3820, more than in the timeH6256 that their cornH1715 and their wineH8492 increasedH7231.
I will bothH3162 lay me downH7901 in peaceH7965, and sleepH3462: for thou, LORDH3068, onlyH910 makest me dwellH3427 in safetyH983.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH6030 me when I callH7121, O GodH430 of my righteousnessH6664: thou hast enlargedH7337 me when I was in distressH6862; have mercyH2603 upon me, and hearH8085 my prayerH8605. {chief…: or, overseer} {have…: or, be gracious unto me}
O ye sonsH1121 of menH376, how longH5704 will ye turn my gloryH3519 into shameH3639? how long will ye loveH157 vanityH7385, and seekH1245 after leasingH3577? SelahH5542.
But knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath set apartH6395 him that is godlyH2623 for himself: the LORDH3068 will hearH8085 when I callH7121 unto him.
Stand in aweH7264, and sinH2398 not: communeH559 with your own heartH3824 upon your bedH4904, and be stillH1826. SelahH5542.
OfferH2076 the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, and put your trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
Thou hast putH5414 gladnessH8057 in my heartH3820, more than in the timeH6256 that their cornH1715 and their wineH8492 increasedH7231.
I will bothH3162 lay me downH7901 in peaceH7965, and sleepH3462: for thou, LORDH3068, onlyH910 makest me dwellH3427 in safetyH983.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon NehilothH5155, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Give earH238 to my wordsH561, O LORDH3068, considerH995 my meditationH1901.
HearkenH7181 unto the voiceH6963 of my cryH7773, my KingH4428, and my GodH430: for unto thee will I prayH6419.
My voiceH6963 shalt thou hearH8085 in the morningH1242, O LORDH3068; in the morningH1242 will I directH6186 my prayer unto thee, and will look upH6822.
For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickednessH7562: neither shall evilH7451 dwellH1481 with thee.
The foolishH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sightH5869: thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquityH205. {in…: Heb. before thine eyes}
Thou shalt destroyH6 them that speakH1696 leasingH3577: the LORDH3068 will abhorH8581 the bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 manH376. {bloody…: Heb. man of bloods and deceit}
But as for me, I will comeH935 into thy houseH1004 in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617: and in thy fearH3374 will I worshipH7812 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964. {thy holy…: Heb. the temple of thy holiness}
LeadH5148 me, O LORDH3068, in thy righteousnessH6666 because of mine enemiesH8324; make thy wayH1870 straightH3474 before my faceH6440. {mine…: Heb. those which observe me}
For there is no faithfulnessH3559 in their mouthH6310; their inwardH7130 part is very wickednessH1942; their throatH1627 is an openH6605 sepulchreH6913; they flatterH2505 with their tongueH3956. {faithfulness: or, stedfastness} {their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them} {very…: Heb. wickednesses}
DestroyH816 thou them, O GodH430; let them fallH5307 by their own counselsH4156; cast them outH5080 in the multitudeH7230 of their transgressionsH6588; for they have rebelledH4784 against thee. {Destroy…: or, Make them guilty} {by…: or, from their counsels}
But let all those that put their trustH2620 in thee rejoiceH8055: let them everH5769 shout for joyH7442, because thou defendestH5526 them: let them also that loveH157 thy nameH8034 be joyfulH5970 in thee. {defendest…: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them}
For thou, LORDH3068, wilt blessH1288 the righteousH6662; with favourH7522 wilt thou compassH5849 him as with a shieldH6793. {compass: Heb. crown}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732. In the LORDH3068 put I my trustH2620: how sayH559 ye to my soulH5315, FleeH5110 as a birdH6833 to your mountainH2022?
For, lo, the wickedH7563 bendH1869 their bowH7198, they make readyH3559 their arrowH2671 upon the stringH3499, that they may privilyH652+H1119 shootH3384 at the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {privily: Heb. in darkness}
If the foundationsH8356 be destroyedH2040, what can the righteousH6662 doH6466?
The LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964, the LORD'SH3068 throneH3678 is in heavenH8064: his eyesH5869 beholdH2372, his eyelidsH6079 tryH974, the childrenH1121 of menH120.
The LORDH3068 triethH974 the righteousH6662: but the wickedH7563 and him that lovethH157 violenceH2555 his soulH5315 hatethH8130.
Upon the wickedH7563 he shall rainH4305 snaresH6341, fireH784 and brimstoneH1614, and an horribleH2152 tempestH7307: this shall be the portionH4521 of their cupH3563. {an horrible…: or, a burning tempest}
For the righteousH6662 LORDH3068 lovethH157 righteousnessH6666; his countenanceH6440 doth beholdH2372 the uprightH3477.
A Psalm of DavidH1732. Unto thee will I cryH7121, O LORDH3068 my rockH6697; be not silentH2814 to me: lest, if thou be silentH2790 to me, I becomeH4911 like them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {to me: Heb. from me}
HearH8085 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, when I cryH7768 unto thee, when I lift upH5375 my handsH3027 toward thy holyH6944 oracleH1687. {thy…: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary}
Draw me not awayH4900 with the wickedH7563, and with the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, which speakH1696 peaceH7965 to their neighboursH7453, but mischiefH7451 is in their heartsH3824.
GiveH5414 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the wickednessH7455 of their endeavoursH4611: giveH5414 them after the workH4639 of their handsH3027; renderH7725 to them their desertH1576.
Because they regardH995 not the worksH6468 of the LORDH3068, nor the operationH4639 of his handsH3027, he shall destroyH2040 them, and not build them upH1129.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, because he hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.
The LORDH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my shieldH4043; my heartH3820 trustedH982 in him, and I am helpedH5826: therefore my heartH3820 greatly rejoicethH5937; and with my songH7892 will I praiseH3034 him.
The LORDH3068 is their strengthH5797, and he is the savingH3444 strengthH4581 of his anointedH4899. {their: or, his} {saving…: Heb. strength of salvations}
SaveH3467 thy peopleH5971, and blessH1288 thine inheritanceH5159: feedH7462 them also, and lift them upH5375 for everH5769. {feed: or, rule}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. BlessedH835 is he that considerethH7919 the poorH1800: the LORDH3068 will deliverH4422 him in timeH3117 of troubleH7451. {the poor: or, the weak, or, sick} {in time…: Heb. in the day of evil}
The LORDH3068 will preserveH8104 him, and keep him aliveH2421; and he shall be blessedH833 upon the earthH776: and thou wilt not deliverH5414 him unto the willH5315 of his enemiesH341. {thou…: or, do not thou deliver}
The LORDH3068 will strengthenH5582 him upon the bedH6210 of languishingH1741: thou wilt makeH2015 all his bedH4904 in his sicknessH2483. {make: Heb. turn}
I saidH559, LORDH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me: healH7495 my soulH5315; for I have sinnedH2398 against thee.
Mine enemiesH341 speakH559 evilH7451 of me, When shall he dieH4191, and his nameH8034 perishH6?
And if he comeH935 to seeH7200 me, he speakethH1696 vanityH7723: his heartH3820 gatherethH6908 iniquityH205 to itself; when he goethH3318 abroadH2351, he tellethH1696 it.
All that hateH8130 me whisperH3907 togetherH3162 against me: against me do they deviseH2803 my hurtH7451. {my…: Heb. evil to me}
An evilH1100 diseaseH1697, say they, cleaveth fastH3332 unto him: and now that he liethH7901 he shall rise upH6965 no moreH3254. {An…: Heb. A thing of Belial}
Yea, mine own familiarH7965 friendH376, in whom I trustedH982, which did eatH398 of my breadH3899, hath lifted upH1431 his heelH6119 against me. {mine…: Heb. the man of my peace} {lifted…: Heb. magnified}
But thou, O LORDH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me, and raise me upH6965, that I may requiteH7999 them.
By this I knowH3045 that thou favourestH2654 me, because mine enemyH341 doth not triumphH7321 over me.
And as for me, thou upholdestH8551 me in mine integrityH8537, and settestH5324 me before thy faceH6440 for everH5769.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769, and to everlastingH5769. AmenH543, and AmenH543.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732. Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467.
AttendH7181 unto me, and hearH6030 me: I mournH7300 in my complaintH7879, and make a noiseH1949;
Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341, becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563: for they castH4131 iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 me.
My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342 withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307 upon me.
FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935 upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And I saidH559, Oh thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then would I fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931.
Lo, then would I wanderH5074 far offH7368, and remainH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542.
I would hastenH2363 my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584 and tempestH5591.
DestroyH1104, O LordH136, and divideH6385 their tonguesH3956: for I have seenH7200 violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892.
DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437 it upon the wallsH2346 thereof: mischiefH205 also and sorrowH5999 are in the midstH7130 of it.
WickednessH1942 is in the midstH7130 thereof: deceitH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185 not from her streetsH7339.
For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; then I could have borneH5375 it: neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that did magnifyH1431 himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from him:
But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, my guideH441, and mine acquaintanceH3045. {mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}
We took sweetH4985 counselH5475 togetherH3162, and walkedH1980 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 in companyH7285. {We…: Heb. Who sweetened counsel}
Let deathH4194 seizeH5377+H3451 upon them, and let them go downH3381 quickH2416 into hellH7585: for wickednessH7451 is in their dwellingsH4033, and amongH7130 them. {hell: or, the grave}
As for me, I will callH7121 upon GodH430; and the LORDH3068 shall saveH3467 me.
EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noonH6672, will I prayH7878, and cry aloudH1993: and he shall hearH8085 my voiceH6963.
He hath deliveredH6299 my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 that was against me: for there were manyH7227 with me.
GodH410 shall hearH8085, and afflictH6030 them, even he that abidethH3427 of oldH6924. SelahH5542. Because they have no changesH2487, therefore they fearH3372 not GodH430. {Because…: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they}
He hath put forthH7971 his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490 his covenantH1285. {broken: Heb. profaned}
The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.
CastH7993 thy burdenH3053 upon the LORDH3068, and he shall sustainH3557 thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414 the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131. {burden: or, gift}
But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee. {bloody…: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall…: Heb. shall not half their days}
To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732; when SaulH7586 sentH7971, and they watchedH8104 the houseH1004 to kill himH4191. DeliverH5337 me from mine enemiesH341, O my GodH430: defendH7682 me from them that rise upH6965 against me. {Altaschith…: or, To the chief Musician, destroy not, a golden Psalm of David} {defend…: Heb. set me on high}
DeliverH5337 me from the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and saveH3467 me from bloodyH1818 menH582.
For, lo, they lie in waitH693 for my soulH5315: the mightyH5794 are gatheredH1481 against me; not for my transgressionH6588, nor for my sinH2403, O LORDH3068.
They runH7323 and prepareH3559 themselves without my faultH5771: awakeH5782 to helpH7125 me, and beholdH7200. {help: Heb. meet}
Thou therefore, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, awakeH6974 to visitH6485 all the heathenH1471: be not mercifulH2603 to any wickedH205 transgressorsH898. SelahH5542.
They returnH7725 at eveningH6153: they make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt laughH7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathenH1471 in derisionH3932.
Because of his strengthH5797 will I waitH8104 upon thee: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869. {defence: Heb. high place}
The GodH430 of my mercyH2617 shall preventH6923 me: GodH430 shall let me seeH7200 my desire upon mine enemiesH8324. {enemies: Heb. observers}
SlayH2026 them not, lest my peopleH5971 forgetH7911: scatterH5128 them by thy powerH2428; and bring them downH3381, O LordH136 our shieldH4043.
For the sinH2403 of their mouthH6310 and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193 let them even be takenH3920 in their prideH1347: and for cursingH423 and lyingH3585 which they speakH5608.
ConsumeH3615 them in wrathH2534, consumeH3615 them, that they may not be: and let them knowH3045 that GodH430 rulethH4910 in JacobH3290 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. SelahH5542.
And at eveningH6153 let them returnH7725; and let them make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Let them wander up and downH5128+H5128 for meatH398, and grudgeH3885 if they be not satisfiedH7646. {for meat: Heb. to eat} {and grudge…: or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night}
But I will singH7891 of thy powerH5797; yea, I will sing aloudH7442 of thy mercyH2617 in the morningH1242: for thou hast been my defenceH4869 and refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of my troubleH6862.
Unto thee, O my strengthH5797, will I singH2167: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869, and the GodH430 of my mercyH2617.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my voiceH6963, O GodH430, in my prayerH7879: preserveH5341 my lifeH2416 from fearH6343 of the enemyH341.
HideH5641 me from the secret counselH5475 of the wickedH7489; from the insurrectionH7285 of the workersH6466 of iniquityH205:
Who whetH8150 their tongueH3956 like a swordH2719, and bendH1869 their bows to shoot their arrowsH2671, even bitterH4751 wordsH1697:
That they may shootH3384 in secretH4565 at the perfectH8535: suddenlyH6597 do they shootH3384 at him, and fearH3372 not.
They encourageH2388 themselves in an evilH7451 matterH1697: they communeH5608 of layingH2934 snaresH4170 privilyH2934; they sayH559, Who shall seeH7200 them? {matter: or, speech} {of…: Heb. to hide his snares}
They search outH2664 iniquitiesH5766; they accomplishH8552 a diligentH2664 searchH2665: both the inwardH7130 thought of every oneH376 of them, and the heartH3820, is deepH6013. {they…: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched} {a diligent…: Heb. a search searched}
But GodH430 shall shootH3384 at them with an arrowH2671; suddenlyH6597 shall they be woundedH4347. {shall they…: Heb. their wound shall be}
So they shall make their own tongueH3956 to fallH3782 upon themselves: all that seeH7200 them shall flee awayH5074.
And all menH120 shall fearH3372, and shall declareH5046 the workH6467 of GodH430; for they shall wisely considerH7919 of his doingH4639.
The righteousH6662 shall be gladH8055 in the LORDH3068, and shall trustH2620 in him; and all the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall gloryH1984.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Hold not thy peaceH2790, O GodH430 of my praiseH8416;
For the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 and the mouthH6310 of the deceitfulH4820 are openedH6605 against me: they have spokenH1696 against me with a lyingH8267 tongueH3956. {of the deceitful: Heb. of deceit} {are opened: Heb. have opened themselves}
They compassedH5437 me about also with wordsH1697 of hatredH8135; and foughtH3898 against me without a causeH2600.
For my loveH160 they are my adversariesH7853: but I give myself unto prayerH8605.
And they have rewardedH7760 me evilH7451 for goodH2896, and hatredH8135 for my loveH160.
SetH6485 thou a wicked manH7563 over him: and let SatanH7854 standH5975 at his right handH3225. {Satan: or, an adversary}
When he shall be judgedH8199, let him beH3318 condemnedH7563: and let his prayerH8605 become sinH2401. {be condemned: Heb. go out guilty, or, wicked}
Let his daysH3117 be fewH4592; and let anotherH312 takeH3947 his officeH6486. {office: or, charge}
Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.
Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128 vagabondsH5128, and begH7592: let them seekH1875 their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.
Let the extortionerH5383 catchH5367 all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114 spoilH962 his labourH3018.
Let there be none to extendH4900 mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.
Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.
Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with the LORDH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.
Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.
Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.
As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.
As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.
Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853 from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
But doH6213 thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou me.
For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490 withinH7130 me.
I am goneH1980 like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186: I am tossed up and downH5287 as the locustH697.
My kneesH1290 are weakH3782 through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584 of fatnessH8081.
I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200 upon me they shakedH5128 their headsH7218.
HelpH5826 me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467 me according to thy mercyH2617:
That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 it.
Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou: when they ariseH6965, let them be ashamedH954; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.
Let mine adversariesH7853 be clothedH3847 with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844 themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598.
I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984 him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227.
For he shall standH5975 at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467 him from those that condemnH8199 his soulH5315. {those…: Heb. the judges of}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. In my distressH6869 I criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315, O LORDH3068, from lyingH8267 lipsH8193, and from a deceitfulH7423 tongueH3956.
What shall be givenH5414 unto thee? or what shall be doneH3254 unto thee, thou falseH7423 tongueH3956? {What shall be given…: or, What shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee? or, what shall is profit thee?} {done: Heb. added}
SharpH8150 arrowsH2671 of the mightyH1368, with coalsH1513 of juniperH7574. {Sharp…: or, It is as the sharp arrows of the mighty man, with coals of juniper}
WoeH190 is me, that I sojournH1481 in MesechH4902, that I dwellH7931 in the tentsH168 of KedarH6938!
My soulH5315 hath longH7227 dweltH7931 with him that hatethH8130 peaceH7965.
I am for peaceH7965: but when I speakH1696, they are for warH4421. {for peace: or, a man of peace}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. DeliverH2502 me, O LORDH3068, from the evilH7451 manH120: preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376; {violent…: Heb. man of violences}
Which imagineH2803 mischiefsH7451 in their heartH3820; continuallyH3117 are they gathered togetherH1481 for warH4421.
They have sharpenedH8150 their tonguesH3956 like a serpentH5175; adders'H5919 poisonH2534 is under their lipsH8193. SelahH5542.
KeepH8104 me, O LORDH3068, from the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563; preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376; who have purposedH2803 to overthrowH1760 my goingsH6471.
The proudH1343 have hidH2934 a snareH6341 for me, and cordsH2256; they have spreadH6566 a netH7568 by the waysideH3027+H4570; they have setH7896 ginsH4170 for me. SelahH5542.
I saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my GodH410: hearH238 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, O LORDH3068.
O GODH3069 the LordH136, the strengthH5797 of my salvationH3444, thou hast coveredH5526 my headH7218 in the dayH3117 of battleH5402.
GrantH5414 not, O LORDH3068, the desiresH3970 of the wickedH7563: furtherH6329 not his wicked deviceH2162; lest they exaltH7311 themselves. SelahH5542. {lest…: or, let them not be exalted}
As for the headH7218 of those that compass me aboutH4524, let the mischiefH5999 of their own lipsH8193 coverH3680 them.
Let burning coalsH1513 fallH4131+H4131 upon them: let them be castH5307 into the fireH784; into deep pitsH4113, that they rise not up againH6965.
Let not an evil speakerH376+H3956 be establishedH3559 in the earthH776: evilH7451 shall huntH6679 the violentH2555 manH376 to overthrowH4073 him. {an…: Heb. a man of tongue: or an evil speaker, a wicked man of violence be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow}
I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 will maintainH6213 the causeH1779 of the afflictedH6041, and the rightH4941 of the poorH34.
Surely the righteousH6662 shall give thanksH3034 unto thy nameH8034: the uprightH3477 shall dwellH3427 in thy presenceH6440.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, give earH238 to my supplicationsH8469: in thy faithfulnessH530 answerH6030 me, and in thy righteousnessH6666.
And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.
For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.
Therefore is my spiritH7307 overwhelmedH5848 within me; my heartH3820 withinH8432 me is desolateH8074.
I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.
HearH6030 me speedilyH4118, O LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 failethH3615: hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from me, lest I be likeH4911 unto them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {lest…: or, for I am become like, etc}
Cause me to hearH8085 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242; for in thee do I trustH982: cause me to knowH3045 the wayH1870 whereinH2098 I should walkH3212; for I lift upH5375 my soulH5315 unto thee.
DeliverH5337 me, O LORDH3068, from mine enemiesH341: I flee unto thee to hideH3680 me. {flee…: Heb. hide me with thee}
TeachH3925 me to doH6213 thy willH7522; for thou art my GodH430: thy spiritH7307 is goodH2896; leadH5148 me into the landH776 of uprightnessH4334.
QuickenH2421 me, O LORDH3068, for thy name'sH8034 sake: for thy righteousness'H6666 sake bringH3318 my soulH5315 out of troubleH6869.
And of thy mercyH2617 cut offH6789 mine enemiesH341, and destroyH6 all them that afflictH6887 my soulH5315: for I am thy servantH5650.
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. PreserveH8104 me, O GodH410: for in thee do I put my trustH2620. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}
O my soul, thou hast saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my LordH136: my goodnessH2896 extendeth not to thee;
But to the saintsH6918 thatH1992 are in the earthH776, and to the excellentH117, in whom is all my delightH2656.
Their sorrowsH6094 shall be multipliedH7235 that hastenH4116 after anotherH312 god: their drink offeringsH5262 of bloodH1818 will I not offerH5258, norH1077 take upH5375 their namesH8034 into my lipsH8193. {hasten…: or, give gifts to another}
The LORDH3068 is the portionH4490 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainestH8551 my lotH1486. {of mine…: Heb. of my part}
The linesH2256 are fallenH5307 unto me in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodlyH8231 heritageH5159.
I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068, who hath given me counselH3289: my reinsH3629 also instructH3256 me in the night seasonsH3915.
I have setH7737 the LORDH3068 alwaysH8548 before me: because he is at my right handH3225, I shall not be movedH4131.
Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983. {rest…: Heb. dwell confidently}
For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 ShaharH7837, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
But thou art holyH6918, O thou that inhabitestH3427 the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in thee: they trustedH982, and thou didst deliverH6403 them.
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
But I am a wormH8438, and no manH376; a reproachH2781 of menH120, and despisedH959 of the peopleH5971.
All they that seeH7200 me laugh me to scornH3932: they shoot outH6358 the lipH8193, they shakeH5128 the headH7218, saying, {shoot…: Heb. open}
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738. {gaped…: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.
But be not thou farH7368 from me, O LORDH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 him; all ye the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, all ye the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478.
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
My praiseH8416 shall be of thee in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 before them that fearH3373 him.
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646: they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for everH5703.
All the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: and all the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee.
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD'SH3068: and he is the governorH4910 among the nationsH1471.
All they that be fatH1879 upon earthH776 shall eatH398 and worshipH7812: all they that go downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and none can keep aliveH2421 his own soulH5315.
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generationH1755.
They shall comeH935, and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 unto a peopleH5971 that shall be bornH3205, that he hath doneH6213 this.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838. {an…: Heb. a pit of noise}
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makethH7760 the LORDH3068 his trustH4009, and respectethH6437 not the proudH7295, nor such as turn asideH7750 to liesH3577.
ManyH7227, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608. {they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee}
SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592. {opened: Heb. digged}
Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
WithholdH3607 not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O LORDH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.
For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me. {falleth: Heb. forsaketh}
Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 me: O LORDH3068, make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me.
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451.
Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 unto me, AhaH1889, ahaH1889.
Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: let such as loveH157 thy salvationH8668 sayH559 continuallyH8548, The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431.
But I am poorH6041 and needyH34; yet the LordH136 thinkethH2803 upon me: thou art my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; make no tarryingH309, O my GodH430.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShoshannimH7799, for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905, A SongH7892 of lovesH3039. My heartH3820 is inditingH7370 a goodH2896 matterH1697: I speakH559 of the things which I have madeH4639 touching the kingH4428: my tongueH3956 is the penH5842 of a readyH4106 writerH5608. {Maschil: or, of instruction} {is inditing: Heb. boileth, or, bubbleth up}
Thou art fairerH3302 than the childrenH1121 of menH120: graceH2580 is pouredH3332 into thy lipsH8193: therefore GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee for everH5769.
GirdH2296 thy swordH2719 upon thy thighH3409, O most mightyH1368, with thy gloryH1935 and thy majestyH1926.
And in thy majestyH1926 rideH7392 prosperouslyH6743 becauseH1697 of truthH571 and meeknessH6037 and righteousnessH6664; and thy right handH3225 shall teachH3384 thee terrible thingsH3372. {ride…: Heb. prosper thou, ride thou}
Thine arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150 in the heartH3820 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341; whereby the peopleH5971 fallH5307 under thee.
Thy throneH3678, O GodH430, is for everH5769 and everH5703: the sceptreH7626 of thy kingdomH4438 is a rightH4334 sceptreH7626.
Thou lovestH157 righteousnessH6664, and hatestH8130 wickednessH7562: therefore GodH430, thy GodH430, hath anointedH4886 thee with the oilH8081 of gladnessH8342 above thy fellowsH2270.
All thy garmentsH899 smell of myrrhH4753, and aloesH174, and cassiaH7102, out of the ivoryH8127 palacesH1964, wherebyH4482 they have made thee gladH8055.
Kings'H4428 daughtersH1323 were among thy honourable womenH3368: upon thy right handH3225 did standH5324 the queenH7694 in goldH3800 of OphirH211.
HearkenH8085, O daughterH1323, and considerH7200, and inclineH5186 thine earH241; forgetH7911 also thine own peopleH5971, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004;
So shall the kingH4428 greatly desireH183 thy beautyH3308: for he is thy LordH113; and worshipH7812 thou him.
And the daughterH1323 of TyreH6865 shall be there with a giftH4503; even the richH6223 among the peopleH5971 shall intreatH2470 thy favourH6440. {favour: Heb. face}
The king'sH4428 daughterH1323 is all gloriousH3520 withinH6441: her clothingH3830 is of wroughtH4865 goldH2091.
She shall be broughtH2986 unto the kingH4428 in raiment of needleworkH7553: the virginsH1330 her companionsH7464 that followH310 her shall be broughtH935 unto thee.
With gladnessH8057 and rejoicingH1524 shall they be broughtH2986: they shall enterH935 into the king'sH4428 palaceH1964.
Instead of thy fathersH1 shall be thy childrenH1121, whom thou mayest makeH7896 princesH8269 in all the earthH776.
I will make thy nameH8034 to be rememberedH2142 in allH1755 generationsH1755: therefore shall the peopleH5971 praiseH3034 thee for everH5769 and everH5703.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 of DavidH1732. Let GodH430 ariseH6965, let his enemiesH341 be scatteredH6327: let them also that hateH8130 him fleeH5127 beforeH6440 him. {before…: Heb. from his face}
As smokeH6227 is driven awayH5086, so drive them awayH5086: as waxH1749 meltethH4549 beforeH6440 the fireH784, so let the wickedH7563 perishH6 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430.
But let the righteousH6662 be gladH8055; let them rejoiceH5970 beforeH6440 GodH430: yea, let them exceedinglyH8057 rejoiceH7797. {exceedingly…: Heb. rejoice with gladness}
SingH7891 unto GodH430, sing praisesH2167 to his nameH8034: extolH5549 him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH6160 by his nameH8034 JAHH3050, and rejoiceH5937 beforeH6440 him.
A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490, and a judgeH1781 of the widowsH490, is GodH430 in his holyH6944 habitationH4583.
GodH430 settethH3427 the solitaryH3173 in familiesH1004: he bringeth outH3318 those which are boundH615 with chainsH3574: but the rebelliousH5637 dwellH7931 in a dryH6707 land. {in families: Heb. in a house}
O GodH430, when thou wentest forthH3318 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, when thou didst marchH6805 through the wildernessH3452; SelahH5542:
The earthH776 shookH7493, the heavensH8064 also droppedH5197 at the presenceH6440 of GodH430: even SinaiH5514 itselfH2088 was moved at the presenceH6440 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Thou, O GodH430, didst sendH5130 a plentifulH5071 rainH1653, whereby thou didst confirmH3559 thine inheritanceH5159, when it was wearyH3811. {send: Heb. shake out} {confirm: Heb. confirm it}
Thy congregationH2416 hath dweltH3427 therein: thou, O GodH430, hast preparedH3559 of thy goodnessH2896 for the poorH6041.
The LordH136 gaveH5414 the wordH562: greatH7227 was the companyH6635 of those that publishedH1319 it. {company: Heb. army}
KingsH4428 of armiesH6635 did fleeH5074 apaceH5074: and she that tarriedH5116 at homeH1004 dividedH2505 the spoilH7998. {did…: Heb. did flee, did flee}
Though ye have lienH7901 among the potsH8240, yet shall ye be as the wingsH3671 of a doveH3123 coveredH2645 with silverH3701, and her feathersH84 with yellowH3422 goldH2742.
When the AlmightyH7706 scatteredH6566 kingsH4428 in it, it was white as snowH7949 in SalmonH6756. {in it…: or, for her, she}
The hillH2022 of GodH430 is as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316; an highH1386 hillH2022 as the hillH2022 of BashanH1316.
Why leapH7520 ye, ye highH1386 hillsH2022? this is the hillH2022 which GodH430 desirethH2530 to dwell inH3427; yea, the LORDH3068 will dwellH7931 in it for everH5331.
The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place. {even…: or, even many thousands}
Thou hast ascendedH5927 on highH4791, thou hast led captivityH7628 captiveH7617: thou hast receivedH3947 giftsH4979 for menH120; yea, for the rebelliousH5637 also, that the LORDH3050 GodH430 might dwellH7931 among them. {for men: Heb. in the man}
BlessedH1288 be the LordH136, who dailyH3117+H3117 loadethH6006 us with benefits, even the GodH410 of our salvationH3444. SelahH5542.
He that is our GodH410 is the GodH410 of salvationH4190; and unto GODH3069 the LordH136 belong the issuesH8444 from deathH4194.
But GodH430 shall woundH4272 the headH7218 of his enemiesH341, and the hairyH8181 scalpH6936 of such an one as goeth on stillH1980 in his trespassesH817.
The LordH136 saidH559, I will bring againH7725 from BashanH1316, I will bring my people againH7725 from the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220:
That thy footH7272 may be dippedH4272 in the bloodH1818 of thine enemiesH341, and the tongueH3956 of thy dogsH3611 in the same. {dipped: or, red}
They have seenH7200 thy goingsH1979, O GodH430; even the goingsH1979 of my GodH410, my KingH4428, in the sanctuaryH6944.
The singersH7891 went beforeH6923, the players on instrumentsH5059 followed afterH310; amongH8432 them were the damselsH5959 playing with timbrelsH8608.
BlessH1288 ye GodH430 in the congregationsH4721, even the LordH136, from the fountainH4726 of IsraelH3478. {from…: or, ye that are of the fountain of Israel}
There is littleH6810 BenjaminH1144 with their rulerH7287, the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and their councilH7277, the princesH8269 of ZebulunH2074, and the princesH8269 of NaphtaliH5321. {and their…: or, with their company}
Thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thy strengthH5797: strengthenH5810, O GodH430, that whichH2098 thou hast wroughtH6466 for us.
Because of thy templeH1964 at JerusalemH3389 shall kingsH4428 bringH2986 presentsH7862 unto thee.
RebukeH1605 the companyH2416 of spearmenH7070, the multitudeH5712 of the bullsH47, with the calvesH5695 of the peopleH5971, till every one submitH7511 himself with piecesH7518 of silverH3701: scatterH967 thou the peopleH5971 that delightH2654 in warH7128. {the company…: or, the beasts of the reeds} {scatter…: or, he scattereth}
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
SingH7891 unto GodH430, ye kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; O sing praisesH2167 unto the LordH136; SelahH5542:
To him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH8064 of heavensH8064, which were of oldH6924; lo, he doth send outH5414 his voiceH6963, and that a mightyH5797 voiceH6963. {send…: Heb. give}
AscribeH5414 ye strengthH5797 unto GodH430: his excellencyH1346 is over IsraelH3478, and his strengthH5797 is in the cloudsH7834. {clouds: or, heavens}
O GodH430, thou art terribleH3372 out of thy holy placesH4720: the GodH410 of IsraelH3478 is he that givethH5414 strengthH5797 and powerH8592 unto his peopleH5971. BlessedH1288 be GodH430.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShoshannimH7799, A Psalm of DavidH1732. SaveH3467 me, O GodH430; for the watersH4325 are comeH935 in unto my soulH5315.
I sinkH2883 in deepH4688 mireH3121, where there is no standingH4613: I am comeH935 into deepH4615 watersH4325, where the floodsH7641 overflowH7857 me. {deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth} {deep waters: Heb. depth of waters}
I am wearyH3021 of my cryingH7121: my throatH1627 is driedH2787: mine eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.
They that hateH8130 me without a causeH2600 are moreH7231 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: they that would destroyH6789 me, being mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267, are mightyH6105: then I restoredH7725 that which I took not awayH1497.
O GodH430, thou knowestH3045 my foolishnessH200; and my sinsH819 are not hidH3582 from thee. {sins: Heb. guiltiness}
Let not them that waitH6960 on thee, O LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, be ashamedH954 for my sake: let not those that seekH1245 thee be confoundedH3637 for my sake, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Because for thy sake I have borneH5375 reproachH2781; shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 my faceH6440.
I am become a strangerH2114 unto my brethrenH251, and an alienH5237 unto my mother'sH517 childrenH1121.
For the zealH7068 of thine houseH1004 hath eaten me upH398; and the reproachesH2781 of them that reproachedH2778 thee are fallenH5307 upon me.
When I weptH1058, and chastened my soulH5315 with fastingH6685, that was to my reproachH2781.
I madeH5414 sackclothH8242 also my garmentH3830; and I became a proverbH4912 to them.
They that sit inH3427 the gateH8179 speakH7878 against me; and I was the songH5058 of the drunkardsH8354+H7941. {drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink}
But as for me, my prayerH8605 is unto thee, O LORDH3068, in an acceptableH7522 timeH6256: O GodH430, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617 hearH6030 me, in the truthH571 of thy salvationH3468.
DeliverH5337 me out of the mireH2916, and let me not sinkH2883: let me be deliveredH5337 from them that hateH8130 me, and out of the deepH4615 watersH4325.
Let not the waterfloodH4325+H7641 overflowH7857 me, neither let the deepH4688 swallow me upH1104, and let not the pitH875 shutH332 her mouthH6310 upon me.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068; for thy lovingkindnessH2617 is goodH2896: turnH6437 unto me according to the multitudeH7230 of thy tender merciesH7356.
And hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from thy servantH5650; for I am in troubleH6887: hearH6030 me speedilyH4118. {hear…: Heb. make haste to hear me}
Draw nighH7126 unto my soulH5315, and redeemH1350 it: deliverH6299 me because of mine enemiesH341.
Thou hast knownH3045 my reproachH2781, and my shameH1322, and my dishonourH3639: mine adversariesH6887 are all before thee.
ReproachH2781 hath brokenH7665 my heartH3820; and I am full of heavinessH5136: and I lookedH6960 for some to take pityH5110, but there was none; and for comfortersH5162, but I foundH4672 none. {to take…: Heb. to lament with me}
They gaveH5414 me also gallH7219 for my meatH1267; and in my thirstH6772 they gave me vinegarH2558 to drinkH8248.
Let their tableH7979 become a snareH6341 beforeH6440 them: and that which should have been for their welfareH7965, let it become a trapH4170.
Let their eyesH5869 be darkenedH2821, that they seeH7200 not; and make their loinsH4975 continuallyH8548 to shakeH4571.
Pour outH8210 thine indignationH2195 upon them, and let thy wrathfulH2740 angerH639 take holdH5381 of them.
Let their habitationH2918 be desolateH8074; and let none dwellH3427 in their tentsH168. {their habitation: Heb. their palace} {let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller}
For they persecuteH7291 him whom thou hast smittenH5221; and they talkH5608 to the griefH4341 of those whom thou hast woundedH2491. {those…: Heb. thy wounded}
AddH5414 iniquityH5771 unto their iniquityH5771: and let them not comeH935 into thy righteousnessH6666. {iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc}
Let them be blottedH4229 out of the bookH5612 of the livingH2416, and not be writtenH3789 with the righteousH6662.
But I am poorH6041 and sorrowfulH3510: let thy salvationH3444, O GodH430, set me up on highH7682.
I will praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of GodH430 with a songH7892, and will magnifyH1431 him with thanksgivingH8426.
This also shall pleaseH3190 the LORDH3068 betterH3190 than an oxH7794 or bullockH6499 that hath hornsH7160 and hoofsH6536.
The humbleH6035 shall seeH7200 this, and be gladH8055: and your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 that seekH1875 GodH430. {humble: or, meek}
For the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 the poorH34, and despisethH959 not his prisonersH615.
Let the heavenH8064 and earthH776 praiseH1984 him, the seasH3220, and every thing that movethH7430 therein. {moveth: Heb. creepeth}
For GodH430 will saveH3467 ZionH6726, and will buildH1129 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: that they may dwellH3427 there, and have it in possessionH3423.
The seedH2233 also of his servantsH5650 shall inheritH5157 it: and they that loveH157 his nameH8034 shall dwellH7931 therein.
A Psalm for SolomonH8010. GiveH5414 the kingH4428 thy judgmentsH4941, O GodH430, and thy righteousnessH6666 unto the king'sH4428 sonH1121. {for: or, of}
He shall judgeH1777 thy peopleH5971 with righteousnessH6664, and thy poorH6041 with judgmentH4941.
The mountainsH2022 shall bringH5375 peaceH7965 to the peopleH5971, and the little hillsH1389, by righteousnessH6666.
He shall judgeH8199 the poorH6041 of the peopleH5971, he shall saveH3467 the childrenH1121 of the needyH34, and shall break in piecesH1792 the oppressorH6231.
They shall fearH3372 thee as long asH5973 the sunH8121 and moonH3394 endureH6440, throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
He shall come downH3381 like rainH4306 upon the mownH1488 grass: as showersH7241 that waterH2222 the earthH776.
In his daysH3117 shall the righteousH6662 flourishH6524; and abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965 so long as the moonH3394 endureth. {so long…: Heb. till there be no moon}
He shall have dominionH7287 also from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.
They that dwell in the wildernessH6728 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him; and his enemiesH341 shall lickH3897 the dustH6083.
The kingsH4428 of TarshishH8659 and of the islesH339 shall bringH7725 presentsH4503: the kingsH4428 of ShebaH7614 and SebaH5434 shall offerH7126 giftsH814.
Yea, all kingsH4428 shall fall downH7812 before him: all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him.
For he shall deliverH5337 the needyH34 when he criethH7768; the poorH6041 also, and him that hath no helperH5826.
He shall spareH2347 the poorH1800 and needyH34, and shall saveH3467 the soulsH5315 of the needyH34.
He shall redeemH1350 their soulH5315 from deceitH8496 and violenceH2555: and preciousH3365 shall their bloodH1818 be in his sightH5869.
And he shall liveH2421, and to him shall be givenH5414 of the goldH2091 of ShebaH7614: prayer also shall be madeH6419 for him continuallyH8548; and dailyH3117 shall he be praisedH1288. {shall be given: Heb. one shall give}
There shall be an handfulH6451 of cornH1250 in the earthH776 upon the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022; the fruitH6529 thereof shall shakeH7493 like LebanonH3844: and they of the cityH5892 shall flourishH6692 like grassH6212 of the earthH776.
His nameH8034 shall endure for everH5769: his nameH8034 shall be continuedH5125+H5125 as long asH6440 the sunH8121: and men shall be blessedH1288 in him: all nationsH1471 shall call him blessedH833. {endure: Heb. be} {his name shall be…: Heb. shall be as a son to continue his father's name for ever}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who only doethH6213 wondrous thingsH6381.
And blessedH1288 be his gloriousH3519 nameH8034 for everH5769: and let the whole earthH776 be filledH4390 with his gloryH3519; AmenH543, and AmenH543.
The prayersH8605 of DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 are endedH3615.
The LORDH3068 reignethH4427; let the earthH776 rejoiceH1523; let the multitudeH7227 of islesH339 be gladH8055 thereof. {multitude…: Heb. many, or, great isles}
CloudsH6051 and darknessH6205 are round aboutH5439 him: righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of his throneH3678. {habitation: or, establishment}
A fireH784 goethH3212 beforeH6440 him, and burneth upH3857 his enemiesH6862 round aboutH5439.
His lightningsH1300 enlightenedH215 the worldH8398: the earthH776 sawH7200, and trembledH2342.
The hillsH2022 meltedH4549 like waxH1749 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH113 of the whole earthH776.
The heavensH8064 declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664, and all the peopleH5971 seeH7200 his gloryH3519.
ConfoundedH954 be all they that serveH5647 graven imagesH6459, that boastH1984 themselves of idolsH457: worshipH7812 him, all ye godsH430.
ZionH6726 heardH8085, and was gladH8055; and the daughtersH1323 of JudahH3063 rejoicedH1523 because of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068.
For thou, LORDH3068, art high aboveH5945 all the earthH776: thou art exaltedH5927 far aboveH3966 all godsH430.
Ye that loveH157 the LORDH3068, hateH8130 evilH7451: he preservethH8104 the soulsH5315 of his saintsH2623; he deliverethH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
LightH216 is sownH2232 for the righteousH6662, and gladnessH8057 for the uprightH3477 in heartH3820.
RejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068, ye righteousH6662; and give thanksH3034 at the remembranceH2143 of his holinessH6944. {at…: or, to the memorial}
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
He shall judgeH1777 among the heathenH1471, he shall fillH4390 the places with the dead bodiesH1472; he shall woundH4272 the headsH7218 over manyH7227 countriesH776. {many: or, great}
He shall drinkH8354 of the brookH5158 in the wayH1870: therefore shall he lift upH7311 the headH7218.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let IsraelH3478 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let the houseH1004 of AaronH175 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let them now that fearH3373 the LORDH3068 sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3050 in distressH4712: the LORDH3050 answeredH6030 me, and set me in a large placeH4800. {in distress: Heb. out of distress}
The LORDH3068 is on my side; I will not fearH3372: what canH6213 manH120 doH6213 unto me? {on…: Heb. for me}
The LORDH3068 taketh my part with them that helpH5826 me: therefore shall I seeH7200 my desire upon them that hateH8130 me.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in manH120.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in princesH5081.
All nationsH1471 compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 will I destroyH4135 them. {destroy…: Heb. cut them off}
They compassed me aboutH5437; yea, they compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them.
They compassed me aboutH5437 like beesH1682; they are quenchedH1846 as the fireH784 of thornsH6975: for in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them. {destroy: Heb. cut down}
Thou hast thrustH1760 soreH1760 at me that I might fallH5307: but the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 me.
The LORDH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2176, and is become my salvationH3444.
The voiceH6963 of rejoicingH7440 and salvationH3444 is in the tabernaclesH168 of the righteousH6662: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
The right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 is exaltedH7426: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
I shall not dieH4191, but liveH2421, and declareH5608 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3050.
The LORDH3050 hath chastenedH3256 me soreH3256: but he hath not given me overH5414 unto deathH4194.
OpenH6605 to me the gatesH8179 of righteousnessH6664: I will goH935 into them, and I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3050:
This gateH8179 of the LORDH3068, into which the righteousH6662 shall enterH935.
I will praiseH3034 thee: for thou hast heardH6030 me, and art become my salvationH3444.
The stoneH68 which the buildersH1129 refusedH3988 is become the headH7218 stone of the cornerH6438.
This is the LORD'SH3068 doing; it is marvellousH6381 in our eyesH5869. {the LORD's…: Heb. from the LORD}
This is the dayH3117 which the LORDH3068 hath madeH6213; we will rejoiceH1523 and be gladH8055 in it.
SaveH3467 now, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068: O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, send now prosperityH6743.
BlessedH1288 be he that comethH935 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: we have blessedH1288 you out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
GodH410 is the LORDH3068, which hath shewed us lightH215: bindH631 the sacrificeH2282 with cordsH5688, even unto the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
Thou art my GodH410, and I will praiseH3034 thee: thou art my GodH430, I will exaltH7311 thee.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; callH7121 upon his nameH8034: make knownH3045 his deedsH5949 among the peopleH5971.
SingH7891 unto him, sing psalmsH2167 unto him: talkH7878 ye of all his wondrous worksH6381.
GloryH1984 ye in his holyH6944 nameH8034: let the heartH3820 of them rejoiceH8055 that seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5797: seekH1245 his faceH6440 evermoreH8548.
RememberH2142 his marvellous worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213; his wondersH4159, and the judgmentsH4941 of his mouthH6310;
O ye seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 his servantH5650, ye childrenH1121 of JacobH3290 his chosenH972.
He is the LORDH3068 our GodH430: his judgmentsH4941 are in all the earthH776.
He hath rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 for everH5769, the wordH1697 which he commandedH6680 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755.
Which covenant he madeH3772 with AbrahamH85, and his oathH7621 unto IsaacH3446;
And confirmedH5975 the same unto JacobH3290 for a lawH2706, and to IsraelH3478 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285:
SayingH559, Unto thee will I giveH5414 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the lotH2256 of your inheritanceH5159: {lot: Heb. cord}
When they were but a few menH4962 in numberH4557; yea, very fewH4592, and strangersH1481 in it.
When they wentH1980 from one nationH1471 to another, from one kingdomH4467 to anotherH312 peopleH5971;
He sufferedH3240 no manH120 to do them wrongH6231: yea, he reprovedH3198 kingsH4428 for their sakes;
Saying, TouchH5060 not mine anointedH4899, and do my prophetsH5030 no harmH7489.
Moreover he calledH7121 for a famineH7458 upon the landH776: he brakeH7665 the whole staffH4294 of breadH3899.
He sentH7971 a manH376 beforeH6440 them, even JosephH3130, who was soldH4376 for a servantH5650:
Whose feetH7272 they hurtH6031 with fettersH3525: heH5315 was laidH935 in ironH1270: {he…: Heb. his soul came into iron}
Until the timeH6256 that his wordH1697 cameH935: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 triedH6884 him.
The kingH4428 sentH7971 and loosedH5425 him; even the rulerH4910 of the peopleH5971, and let him go freeH6605.
He madeH7760 him lordH113 of his houseH1004, and rulerH4910 of all his substanceH7075: {substance: Heb. possession}
To bindH631 his princesH8269 at his pleasureH5315; and teach his senatorsH2205 wisdomH2449.
IsraelH3478 also cameH935 into EgyptH4714; and JacobH3290 sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of HamH2526.
And he increasedH6509 his peopleH5971 greatlyH3966; and made them strongerH6105 than their enemiesH6862.
He turnedH2015 their heartH3820 to hateH8130 his peopleH5971, to deal subtillyH5230 with his servantsH5650.
He sentH7971 MosesH4872 his servantH5650; and AaronH175 whom he had chosenH977.
They shewedH7760 his signsH226+H1697 among them, and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of HamH2526. {his…: Heb. words of his signs}
He sentH7971 darknessH2822, and made it darkH2821; and they rebelledH4784 not against his wordH1697.
He turnedH2015 their watersH4325 into bloodH1818, and slewH4191 their fishH1710.
Their landH776 brought forthH8317 frogsH6854 in abundanceH8317, in the chambersH2315 of their kingsH4428.
He spakeH559, and there cameH935 divers sorts of fliesH6157, and liceH3654 in all their coastsH1366.
He gaveH5414 them hailH1259 for rainH1653, and flamingH3852 fireH784 in their landH776. {them…: Heb. their rain hail}
He smoteH5221 their vinesH1612 also and their fig treesH8384; and brakeH7665 the treesH6086 of their coastsH1366.
He spakeH559, and the locustsH697 cameH935, and caterpillersH3218, and that without numberH4557,
And did eat upH398 all the herbsH6212 in their landH776, and devouredH398 the fruitH6529 of their groundH127.
He smoteH5221 also all the firstbornH1060 in their landH776, the chiefH7225 of all their strengthH202.
He brought them forthH3318 also with silverH3701 and goldH2091: and there was not one feebleH3782 person among their tribesH7626.
EgyptH4714 was gladH8055 when they departedH3318: for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon them.
He spreadH6566 a cloudH6051 for a coveringH4539; and fireH784 to give lightH215 in the nightH3915.
The people askedH7592, and he broughtH935 quailsH7958, and satisfiedH7646 them with the breadH3899 of heavenH8064.
He openedH6605 the rockH6697, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100; they ranH1980 in the dry placesH6723 like a riverH5104.
For he rememberedH2142 his holyH6944 promiseH1697, and AbrahamH85 his servantH5650.
And he brought forthH3318 his peopleH5971 with joyH8342, and his chosenH972 with gladnessH7440: {gladness: Heb. singing}
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
That they might observeH8104 his statutesH2706, and keepH5341 his lawsH8451. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
RememberH2142 me, O LORDH3068, with the favourH7522 that thou bearest unto thy peopleH5971: O visitH6485 me with thy salvationH3444;
That I may seeH7200 the goodH2896 of thy chosenH972, that I may rejoiceH8055 in the gladnessH8057 of thy nationH1471, that I may gloryH1984 with thine inheritanceH5159.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.
They soonH4116 forgatH7911 his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 not for his counselH6098: {They soon…: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
Wondrous worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible thingsH3372 by the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH8045 them, had notH3884 MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turn awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.
Yea, they despisedH3988 the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 not his wordH1697: {the pleasant…: Heb. a land of desire}
But murmuredH7279 in their tentsH168, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore he lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against them, to overthrowH5307 them in the wildernessH4057: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
To overthrowH5307 their seedH2233 also among the nationsH1471, and to scatterH2219 them in the landsH776. {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
Thus they provoked him to angerH3707 with their inventionsH4611: and the plagueH4046 brake inH6555 upon them.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
They angeredH7107 him also at the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809, so that it went illH3415 with MosesH4872 for their sakes:
Because they provokedH4784 his spiritH7307, so that he spake unadvisedlyH981 with his lipsH8193.
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were brought into subjectionH3665 under their handH3027.
ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they provokedH4784 him with their counselH6098, and were brought lowH4355 for their iniquityH5771. {brought…: or, impoverished, or, weakened}
Nevertheless he regardedH7200 their afflictionH6862, when he heardH8085 their cryH7440:
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
He madeH5414 them also to be pitiedH7356 ofH6440 all those that carried them captivesH7617.
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769: and let all the peopleH5971 sayH559, AmenH543. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
