| 1 |
I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. |
| 2 |
I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. |
| 3 |
In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. |
| 4 |
All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth. |
| 5 |
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah. |
| 6 |
For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar. |
| 7 |
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me. |
| 8 |
Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me. |
| 2 |
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. |
| 3 |
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. |
| 4 |
For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether. |
| 5 |
Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. |
| 6 |
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. |
| 7 |
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
| 8 |
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. |
| 9 |
If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; |
| 10 |
Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. |
| 11 |
If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; |
| 12 |
Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. |
| 13 |
For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. |
| 14 |
I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. |
| 15 |
My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
| 16 |
Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them. |
| 17 |
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! |
| 18 |
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. |
| 19 |
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. |
| 20 |
For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take thy name in vain. |
| 21 |
Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? |
| 22 |
I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. |
| 23 |
Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; |
| 24 |
And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. |
| 2 |
And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous. |
| 3 |
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. |
| 4 |
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate. |
| 5 |
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands. |
| 6 |
I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah |
| 7 |
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit. |
| 8 |
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee. |
| 9 |
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. |
| 10 |
Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness. |
| 11 |
Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. |
| 12 |
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, And my fingers to fight: |
| 2 |
My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me. |
| 3 |
Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? |
| 4 |
Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. |
| 5 |
Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. |
| 6 |
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them. |
| 7 |
Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens; |
| 8 |
Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
| 9 |
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. |
| 10 |
Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword. |
| 11 |
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
| 12 |
When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace; |
| 13 |
When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; |
| 14 |
When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets: |
| 15 |
Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah. A Psalm of praise; of David. |
| 1 |
I will extol thee, my God, O King; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever. |
| 2 |
Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever. |
| 3 |
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable. |
| 4 |
One generation shall laud thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts. |
| 5 |
Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate. |
| 6 |
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness. |
| 7 |
They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. |
| 8 |
Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness. |
| 9 |
Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works. |
| 10 |
All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; And thy saints shall bless thee. |
| 11 |
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power; |
| 12 |
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. |
| 13 |
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. |
| 14 |
Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that are bowed down. |
| 15 |
The eyes of all wait for thee; And thou givest them their food in due season. |
| 16 |
Thou openest thy hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing. |
| 17 |
Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works. |
| 18 |
Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. |
| 19 |
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. |
| 20 |
Jehovah preserveth all them that love him; But all the wicked will he destroy. |
| 21 |
My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. |
