1 |
Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me. |
2 |
Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah |
3 |
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head. |
4 |
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah |
5 |
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me. |
6 |
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about. |
7 |
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. |
8 |
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. |
1 |
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. |
2 |
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah |
3 |
But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. |
4 |
Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah |
5 |
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah. |
6 |
Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. |
7 |
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased. |
8 |
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. |
1 |
Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
2 |
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. |
3 |
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; |
4 |
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
5 |
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for. |
6 |
The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times. |
7 |
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever. |
8 |
The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
1 |
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
2 |
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? |
3 |
Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; |
4 |
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved. |
5 |
But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. |
6 |
I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
1 |
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit. |
2 |
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. |
3 |
Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts. |
4 |
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert. |
5 |
Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up. |
6 |
Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. |
7 |
Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him. |
8 |
Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. |
9 |
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever. A Psalm of David. |
1 |
Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication. |
2 |
Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan, |
3 |
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me. |
4 |
My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me. |
5 |
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me. |
6 |
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest. |
7 |
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah |
8 |
I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest. |
9 |
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city. |
10 |
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it. |
11 |
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. |
12 |
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him: |
13 |
But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend. |
14 |
We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng. |
15 |
Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. |
16 |
As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me. |
17 |
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice. |
18 |
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many that strove with me. |
19 |
God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah The men who have no changes, And who fear not God. |
20 |
He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant. |
21 |
His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords. |
22 |
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. |
23 |
But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. |
