Psa 1:1 ¶ Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly; And in the way of sinners doth not stand; And in the seat of scoffers doth not sit:
Psa 1:2 But in the law of the Lord is his delight; And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted near rivers of waters, Which shall yield its fruit in its season, And whose leaf shall not fade; And all that he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 ¶ Not so the ungodly: But they are like the chaff, which scatter doth the wind.
Psa 1:5 Therefore shall not stand the ungodly in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For know doth Jehovah the way of the righteous; But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psa 2:1 ¶ Why tumultuously rise do the Gentiles, And the peoples murmur in vain?
Psa 2:2 Confederated have the kings of the earth, And the princes have assembled together, Against Jehovah and against his Christ.
Psa 2:3 "Let us break asunder their bonds, "And cast away from us their yoke."
Psa 2:4 He who dwelleth in heaven shall laugh; The Lord shall deride them.

Psa 2:9 "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;" As the vessel of a potter thou shalt dash them in pieces."
Psa 2:10 ¶ And now, O ye kings! understand; Be instructed, O ye judges of the earth!
Psa 2:11 Serve Jehovah with fear, Rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, And ye perish from the way, When shall be kindled in a short time his wrath. Blessed are all who trust in him.
Psa 3:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David, when he fled from the face of Absalom his son> O Lord! how are my oppressors multiplied! Many rise up against me,
Psa 3:2 Many say to my soul, "There is no help for him in God." Selah.
Psa 3:3 And thou, O Jehovah! art a shield for me; My glory, and he that exalteth my head.
Psa 3:4 ¶ With my voice to the Lord have I cried, And he heard me from the mountain of his holiness. Selah.
Psa 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awaked, because the Lord sustains me.
Psa 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, Who on all sides have set their camps against me.
Psa 3:7 Arise, O Lord l Save me, O my God! For thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheekbone; The teeth of the ungodly thou hast broken.
Psa 3:8 To the Lord belongeth salvation; Upon thy people is thy blessing. Selah.
Psa 4:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician on Neginoth. A Psalm of David> When I cry, answer me, O God of my righteousness! In distress thou hast enlarged me; Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psa 4:2 O ye sons of men! how long my glory will ye try to put to shame? Will ye love vanity, will ye seek after lying? Selah.
Psa 4:3 But know that chosen hath Jehovah the merciful man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I cry unto him.
Psa 4:4 Tremble and ye shall not sin; Discourse in your heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.
Psa 4:5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the Lord.
Psa 4:6 ¶ Many say, "Who will show us good?" Lift thou up on us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah!
Psa 4:7 Thou hast given joy to my heart More than theirs in the time that their corn and their wine are increased.
Psa 4:8 In peace [as if] with a multitude I will sleep and take rest, {This line is freely rendered. For the literal translation, see the text as given in the commentary (See CALBOOK 00581).} For thou, O Jehovah! in safety hast placed me, [though] alone.
Psa 5:1 ¶ <To the Chief. Musician upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David> My words do thou give ear to, O Jehovah! Attend to my speech.
Psa 5:2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King and my God! For to thee will I pray.
Psa 5:3 O Jehovah! in the morning do thou hear my voice; In the morning will I direct to thee and will watch.
Psa 5:4 For not a God taking pleasure in wickedness art thou; There shall not dwell with thee evil.
Psa 5:5 There shall not stand the foolish before thine eyes; Thou hatest all that commit iniquity.
Psa 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: The man of bloods and the deceitful man abominate shall Jehovah.
Psa 5:7 ¶ And I, in the multitude of thy mercy, will enter into thy house; I will worship in thy holy temple in thy fear.
Psa 5:8 O Jehovah! lead me in thy righteousness, because of my adversaries; Make straight before my face thy way.
Psa 5:9 For there is not in their mouth uprightness; Their inward part is deep depravity; A sepulcher that is open is their throat; With their tongues they deal deceitfully.
Psa 5:10 Cause them to err, O God! Let them fall from their counsels; In the multitude of their transgressions destroy them; For they have rebelled against thee.
Psa 5:11 And rejoice let all those who trust in thee, For ever let them exult; and cover thou them, And let those delight in thee that love thy name.
Psa 5:12 For thou shalt bless the righteous, O Jehovah! With thy good will as with a shield thou shalt encompass them.
Psa 6:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician on Neginoth, upon the Eighth. A Psalm of David> O Jehovah! do not in thy anger rebuke me, And do not in thy wrath chastise me.
Psa 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah! for I am weak; Heal me, O Jehovah! for affrighted are my bones.
Psa 6:3 And my soul is exceedingly afraid: And thou, O Jehovah! ––how long? ––
Psa 6:4 Return, O Lord! deliver my soul; Save me for the sake of thy mercy.
Psa 6:5 For there is not in death any remembrance of thee; In the grave who shall acknowledge thee?
Psa 6:6 I have become wearied with my groaning; I make to swim every night my bed; With my tears my couch I water.
Psa 6:7 Waxed dim for vexation hath mine eye; It hath become old among all my persecutors.
Psa 6:8 ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For heard hath the Lord the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 Heard hath the Lord my supplication; The Lord my prayer will receive.

Psa 7:1 ¶ <Shiggaion of David, which he sung to Jehovah, upon the words of Cush the Benjamite> O Jehovah, my God! in thee do I trust: Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Psa 7:2 Lest He seize, as a lion, upon my soul, And tear it in pieces while there is none to deliver it.
Psa 7:3 O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this, If there be iniquity in my hands,
Psa 7:4 If I have rewarded to him that was at peace with me evil, And have not delivered him that afflicted me without cause;
Psa 7:5 Pursue let the enemy my soul and take it, And let him cast down to the earth my life, And my glory in the dust let him hold down. Selah
Psa 7:6 Arise, O Jehovah! in thy anger; Lift up thyself against the fury of my enemies; And awake thou for me to the judgment which thou hast ordained.
Psa 7:7 And the congregation of peoples shall be round about thee: And on account of this, do thou on high return.
Psa 7:8 Jehovah shall judge the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah! according to my righteousness, And according to the integrity which is in me.
Psa 7:9 Let come to an end, I pray, the malice of the wicked; And direct thou the righteous man: For he proves the hearts and the reins, the righteous God.
Psa 7:10 ¶ My shield is in God, Who saves the upright in heart.
Psa 7:11 God judgeth the righteous man, And him who despiseth God, daily.
Psa 7:12 If he turn not, his sword he will whet; His bow he hath bent, he hath made it ready.
Psa 7:13 And for it he hath prepared the instruments of death; He shall make fit his arrows for the persecutors.
Psa 7:14 Behold! he shall travail to bring forth iniquity, And he hath conceived wickedness, And he shall bring forth falsehood.
Psa 7:15 A pit he hath digged, and hollowed it out; And he hath fallen into the ditch which he hath made.
Psa 7:16 Return shall his wickedness upon his own head, And upon his own crown his violence shall descend.
Psa 7:17 I will praise Jehovah, according to his righteousness; And I will sing to the name of Jehovah, Most High.
Psa 8:1 ¶ <To the chief Musician upon Hagittith. A Psalm of David> O Jehovah, our Lord! How wonderful is thy name in all the earth, To set thy glory above the heavens!
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast founded thy strength, because of thy adversaries, To put to flight the enemy and the avenger.
Psa 8:3 ¶ When! see thy heavens, the works of thy fingers; The moon and the stars which thou hast arranged:
Psa 8:4 What is man that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psa 8:5 For thou hast made him lower a little than God, And with glory and honor thou hast crowned him.
Psa 8:6 Thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: All things thou hast put under his feet.
Psa 8:7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also the beasts of the fields;
Psa 8:8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Psa 8:9 O Jehovah, our Lord! How wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
Psa 9:1 ¶ <To the chief Musician upon Hagittith. Almuth Laben. A Psalm of David> I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; will recount all thy marvelous works.
Psa 9:2 I will rejoice and exult in thee; I will celebrate in Psalms thy name, O thou Most high!
Psa 9:3 When turned are my enemies backward, They fall and are put to flight at thy presence.
Psa 9:4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause; Thou hast sat upon the throne a righteous judge.
Psa 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen; Thou hast destroyed the ungodly; Their name thou hast blotted out for ever and ever.
Psa 9:6 O thou enemy! come to an end are desolations for ever; And cities thou hast destroyed; Perished has their memory with them.
Psa 9:7 And Jehovah for ever sitteth: His throne for judgment lie hath prepared.
Psa 9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness; He shall judge the peoples in rectitude.
Psa 9:9 And Jehovah will be a place of defense to the poor, And a protection in seasonable times in trouble.
Psa 9:10 And trust in thee shall those who know thy name: For thou forsakest not those who seek thee, O Jehovah!
Psa 9:11 ¶ Sing psalms to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion, Proclaim among the peoples his doings;
Psa 9:12 For in requiring blood, it lie hath remembered: He hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
Psa 9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah! See my affliction from those who persecute me, O thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
Psa 9:14 That I may recount all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may exult in thy salvation.
Psa 9:15 Sunk are the heathen into the pit which they have made; In the net which they have hid taken are their own feet.
Psa 9:16 Known is Jehovah by executing judgment: In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah.
Psa 9:17 Turned shall be the wicked into hell: All the nations that forget God.
Psa 9:18 For not for ever shall be forgotten the poor; The hope of the humble shall not perish for ever.
Psa 9:19 Arise, O Jehovah! let not man prevail: Let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Psa 9:20 Put, O Jehovah! fear in them, That the heathen may know that mortal men they are. Selah.
Psa 10:1 ¶ Why, O Jehovah! standest thou afar off? And winkest at seasonable times in trouble?
Psa 10:2 In his pride the ungodly doth persecute the poor; Let them be caught in the devices which they imagine.
Psa 10:3 For praise himself doth the ungodly on account of the desire of his own soul; And the violent man blesseth himself: He despiseth Jehovah.
Psa 10:4 The ungodly, in the pride of his countenance doth not inquire; All his devices say, "There is not a God."
Psa 10:5 Prosperous are his ways at all times; High are thy judgments before him; At all his enemies he puffeth.
Psa 10:6 He saith in his heart, "I shall not be moved from generation to generation," Because he is not in adversity,
Psa 10:7 Of cursing his mouth is full, and of deceit, and of malice: Under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
Psa 10:8 He will sit in the ensnaring places of the villages; In his lurking places will he murder the innocent: His eyes against the poor will take their aim.
Psa 10:9 He will lie in wait in secret, as a lion in his den; He will lie in wait to catch the poor; He will catch the poor by drawing him into his net.
Psa 10:10 He will crouch low, he will cast himself down; Then shall fall by his strengths an army of the afflicted.
Psa 10:11 He hath said in his heart, "Forgotten it hath God; "He hideth his face, that he may not see it for ever."
Psa 10:12 ¶ Arise, O Jehovah, God! lift up thy hand: Do not forget the poor.
Psa 10:13 Why do the wicked despise God? He saith in his heart, "Thou wilt not require it."
Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen it; For mischief and oppression thou considerest, That thou mayest take them into thy own hand: Upon thee shall the poor leave; To the orphan thou wilt be an helper.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Thou shalt seek his wickedness, and shalt not find it.
Psa 10:16 Jehovah is King for ever and ever; Perished are the heathen out of his land.
Psa 10:17 The desire of the needy thou hast heard, O Jehovah! Thou wilt direct their heart; Hear shall thine car:
Psa 10:18 That thou mayest judge the fatherless and the poor, That the man who is of earth may terrify no more.
Psa 11:1 ¶ <To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David> In Jehovah do I put my trust: How then say ye to my soul, "Flee ye into your mountain as a bird?"
Psa 11:2 Surely behold! the ungodly shall bend the bow, They have made ready their arrows upon the string, shoot in secret at the upright in heart.
Psa 11:3 Truly, the foundations are destroyed: The righteous, what hath he done?
Psa 11:4 ¶ Jehovah is in the palace of his holiness; Jehovah in heaven hath his throne; His eyes behold, his eyelids consider the children of men.
Psa 11:5 Jehovah will approve the righteous man; But the ungodly and him who loveth iniquity, hate doth his soul.
Psa 11:6 He will rain upon the ungodly snares, Fire and brimstone, and a storm of whirlwinds: This is the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For the righteous Jehovah loveth righteousness; His countenance approveth the upright.
Psa 12:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician upon the Eighth. A Psalm of David> Save me, O Jehovah! for failed hath the merciful man, For wasted away are the faithful from among the children of men.
Psa 12:2 Deceit doth every one speak with his neighbor; With lips of flatteries, with a double heart do they speak.
Psa 12:3 Let Jehovah cut off all lips of flatteries, The tongue that great things doth speak:
Psa 12:4 Those who have said, "By our tongues we will be strengthened; "Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?"
Psa 12:5 "Because of the spoiling of the needy, "Because of the groaning of the poor, "Now will I arise," say will Jehovah, "I will set in safety him for whom the wicked man layeth snares."
Psa 12:6 The words of Jehovah are pure words; Silver melted in an excellent crucible of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou, O Jehovah! wilt keep them; Thou wilt preserve him from this generation for ever.
Psa 12:8 On every side the ungodly walk; When they are exalted, reproach is to the children of men.
Psa 13:1 ¶ <To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David> How long, O Jehovah! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul? And have sorrow in my heart daily? How long exalted shall be my enemy over me?
Psa 13:3 Look upon me, answer me, O Jehovah, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Psa 13:4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" And those who afflict me rejoice if I should fall.
Psa 13:5 But as for me, in thy goodness I trust; Exult shall my heart in thy salvation.
Psa 13:6 I will sing to the Lord because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psa 14:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm Of David> The fool hath said in his heart, "There is no God;" They have corrupted [all good order,] they have done abominable work. There is none that doeth good.
Psa 14:2 Jehovah from heaven looked down Upon the children of men, To see whether there were any that did understand, And seek after God.
Psa 14:3 Every one of them hath gone aside, Together putrid have they become: There is none that doeth good, not even one.
Psa 14:4 ¶ Have they no knowledge all these workers of iniquity? Who eat up my people as they eat bread. Upon the Lord they do not call.
Psa 14:5 There did they tremble with fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.
Psa 14:6 The counsel of the poor ye deride, Because Jehovah is his hope.
Psa 14:7 Who shall give from Zion salvation to Israel? When turn back shall Jehovah the captivity of his people, Rejoice shall Jacob, and exult shall Israel.
Psa 15:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David> O Jehovah! who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? Who shall rest in the mountain of thy holiness?
Psa 15:2 He who walketh in integrity and doeth righteousness, And who speaketh truth in his heart,
Psa 15:3 He who detracteth not with his tongue, Who doeth not to his companion evil, And a calumnious report doth not raise up against his neighbor.
Psa 15:4 Despised in his eyes is the off cast; But those who fear the Lord he honoreth; When he hath sworn to his own hurt he doth not change.
Psa 15:5 His money he doth not put out to usury; And a present upon the innocent he doth not accept: He who doeth these things shall not be moved for ever.
Psa 16:1 ¶ <Michtam. A Psalm Of David> Keep me, O God! For in thee do I trust.
Psa 16:2 Thou shalt say to Jehovah, "My Lord thou art; "My well doing extendeth not to thee."
Psa 16:3 To the saints who are on the earth, And to the excellent; all my delight is in them.
Psa 16:4 Multiplied shall be their sorrows who offer to a stranger; I will not taste their libations of blood, Nor will I take their names in my lips.
Psa 16:5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; Thou maintainest my lot.
Psa 16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, an inheritance that is goodly hath fallen to me.
Psa 16:7 I will magnify Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; Even in the nights instruct me do my reins.
Psa 16:8 ¶ I have set Jehovah before me continually; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Psa 16:9 Therefore glad is my heart, rejoice doth my tongue; Also my flesh dwelleth in confidence.
Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave; Nor wilt thou make thy Holy One to see the pit.
Psa 16:11 Thou wilt make known to me the way of life; Fullness of joy is in thy countenance; Pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
Psa 17:1 ¶ <A Prayer of David> Hear, O Jehovah! my righteousness; Attend to my cry; Hearken to my prayer, which is not in lips of deceit.
Psa 17:2 From the presence of thy countenance let my judgment go forth Let thine eyes behold uprightness.
Psa 17:3 Thou hast proved my heart; Thou hast visited it by night; Thou hast examined it, thou shalt not find any thing in it; My thought shall not pass beyond my mouth.
Psa 17:4 As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have taken heed of the ways of the destroyer.
Psa 17:5 Uphold my steps in thy paths, That my footsteps may not slide.
Psa 17:6 I have called upon thee, surely thou wilt hear me, O God! Incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech.
Psa 17:7 Make marvelous thy mercies, O thou Preserver of those who trust [in thee,] From those that exalt themselves against thy right hand.
Psa 17:8 ¶ Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In the shadow of thy wings hide me,
Psa 17:9 From the face of the ungodly who endeavor to destroy me––Of my enemies who in my soul besiege me.
Psa 17:10 In their own fat they have enclosed themselves; With their mouth they have spoken haughtily.
Psa 17:11 In our steps they have now encompassed me; eyes they have set to east down to the ground.
Psa 17:12 He is like a lion, he desireth to seize his prey, And like a lion’s whelp which lurketh in secret places.
Psa 17:13 Arise, O Jehovah! confront him, lay him prostrate; Deliver my soul from the ungodly man by thy sword
Psa 17:14 From men by thy hand, O Jehovah! ––From men who are of long duration, Whose portion is in life, Whose belly thou fillets with thy secret, goods: Filled to the full are their children with them, And their residue they leave to their babes.
Psa 17:15 As for me in righteousness I shall behold thy face; I shall be satisfied when I shall awake with thy likeness.
Psa 18:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the servant of Jehovah, David, who spake to Jehovah the words of this song, in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. And he said, > I will love thee, O Jehovah! my strength;
Psa 18:2 Jehovah my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, I will hope in him: My shield and the horn of my salvation, my refuge.
Psa 18:3 Upon the praised Jehovah will I call; And from my enemies I shall be saved.
Psa 18:4 Encompassed me had the cords of death. The torrents of ungodliness had affrighted me.
Psa 18:5 The cords of the grave had encompassed me; Prevented me had the snares of death.
Psa 18:6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And to my God I cried: And he heard from his temple my voice, And my cry before him came, [even] into his ears.
Psa 18:7 Then shake and tremble did the earth; And the foundations of the mountains were troubled and shaken, Because he was wroth.
Psa 18:8 There ascended smoke out of his nostrils, And fire proceeding from his mouth consumed; Coals were kindled by it.
Psa 18:9 And he bowed the heavens and descended; And thick darkness was under his feet.
Psa 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub and flew; And was carried upon the wings of the wind.
Psa 18:11 He made darkness his hiding place; Round about him his pavilion was dark waters, And the clouds of the skies.
Psa 18:12 At the brightness which was before him his clouds passed away, [There were] hail–storm, and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 And thunder in the heavens did Jehovah, And the Most High sent forth his voice; [There were] hailstorm and coals of fire.
Psa 18:14 And he sent out his army and scattered them; And lightnings he multiplied, and put them into confusion.
Psa 18:15 And seen were the abysses of the waters, And disclosed were the foundations of the world, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me from waters great.
Psa 18:17 He delivered me from my enemy [that was] strong, And from my adversary; Because they were stronger than I.
Psa 18:18 They had prevented me in the day of my calamity; And Jehovah was a support for me.
Psa 18:19 And he brought me forth into a wide place; He rescued me because he wished well to me.
Psa 18:20 ¶ Rewarded me hath Jehovah according to my righteousness; According to the purity of my hands he hath repaid me;
Psa 18:21 Because I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not impiously departed from my God;
Psa 18:22 Because all his judgments I have had before me, And his statutes I have not removed from me.
Psa 18:23 And I have been upright with him, And have kept me from my iniquity.
Psa 18:24 And repaid me hath Jehovah according to my righteousness According to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Psa 18:25 With the merciful thou wilt deal mercifully, With a man of uprightness thou wilt show thyself upright.
Psa 18:26 With the pure thou wilt be pure, And with the perverse thou wilt deal perversely.
Psa 18:27 For thou the afflicted people wilt save, And the haughty eyes thou wilt east down.
Psa 18:28 For thou shalt light my lamp, O Jehovah! My God shall enlighten my darkness.
Psa 18:29 ¶ For by thee I shall break through the wedge of a troop, And by my God I shall leap over a wall.
Psa 18:30 As for God perfect is his way; The word of Jehovah [is] refined; A shield is He to all who confide in him.
Psa 18:31 For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is strong except our God?
Psa 18:32 It is God who hath girded me with strength, And hath made perfect my way.
Psa 18:33 He maketh my feet like those of hinds, And upon my high places he hath set me.
Psa 18:34 He traineth my hands to the battle, And broken will be a bow of steel by my arms.
Psa 18:35 And thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation, And thy right hand hath sustained me, And thy clemency hath increased me.
Psa 18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my ankles shall not totter.
Psa 18:37 I will pursue my enemies and will seize them; Nor will I return until I have consumed them.
Psa 18:38 I have afflicted them, and they were not able to rise; They have fallen under my feet.
Psa 18:39 Thou hast girded me with might for the battle; Thou hast bowed down my enemies under me.
Psa 18:40 And of my enemies thou hast given me the neck, And [as for] my haters I will destroy them.
Psa 18:41 They shall cry aloud, and there shall be no Savior for them; To Jehovah, but he shall not answer them.
Psa 18:42 And I will bruise them to powder as dust before the wind; As the mire of the streets I will tread upon them.
Psa 18:43 Thou shalt deliver me from the contentions of the people; Thou shalt make me head of the nations; A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Psa 18:44 At the hearing of the ear they shall obey me; The children of strangers shall lie to me;
Psa 18:45 The children of strangers shall lose courage, And tremble from within their places of concealment.
Psa 18:46 Let Jehovah live and blessed be my strength, And let the God of my salvation be exalted:
Psa 18:47 The God who giveth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.
Psa 18:48 My deliverer from my enemies: Yea, from those who had risen up against me thou hast lifted me up: From the man of violence thou hast rescued me.
Psa 18:49 Therefore will I praise thee, O Jehovah! among the Gentiles, And to thy name will I sing.
Psa 18:50 Who worketh great deliverances for his king, And showeth mercy to his anointed, [even to] David, And to his seed for ever.
Psa 19:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David> The heavens recount the glory of God; And the works of his hands proclaim doth the expanse.
Psa 19:2 Day unto day poureth forth speech; And night unto night publisheth knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech and no language, Where is not heard their voice.
Psa 19:4 Through all the earth hath gone forth their writing, And to the extremity of the world their words: For the sun he hath set a tabernacle in them,
Psa 19:5 And he as a bridegroom goeth forth from his chamber; He exulteth as a strong man to run his course.
Psa 19:6 From one extremity of the heavens is his going forth, And his circuit to the utmost limits thereof, And no person is hidden from his heat.
Psa 19:7 ¶ The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of Jehovah is faithful, instructing in wisdom the babes;
Psa 19:8 The statutes of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
Psa 19:9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are justified together.
Psa 19:10 More desirable [are they] than gold, and much fine gold; And sweeter than honey, and the dropping of honeycombs.
Psa 19:11 Moreover, thy servant is made circumspect by them; And in their observance the reward is great.
Psa 19:12 His errors who can understand? From my hidden sins cleanse thou me.
Psa 19:13 Likewise from presumptuous sins restrain thou thy servant, That they may not have dominion over me; Then upright shall I be and clean from much wickedness.
Psa 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable Before thee, O Jehovah! my strength and my Redeemer.
Psa 20:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm Of David> May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble!
Psa 20:2 May he send help to thee from the sanctuary! And out of Zion sustain thee!
Psa 20:3 May he be mindful of all thy offerings! And thy holocaust may he make flit! Selah.
Psa 20:4 May he give to thee according to thy heart! And all thy counsel may he fulfill!
Psa 20:5 That we may exult in thy salvation, And in the name of our God erect a banner, When Jehovah shall fulfill all thy petitions.
Psa 20:6 ¶ Now I have known that Jehovah hath saved his anointed; He will hear him from the heavens of his sanctuary, In the mightiness of the salvation of his right hand.
Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But the name of Jehovah our God we will remember.
Psa 20:8 They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen up and stand erect.
Psa 20:9 O Jehovah! do thou save; Let the King hear us in the day that we call upon him.
Psa 21:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm Of David> O Jehovah! in thy strength rejoice shall the king, And in thy salvation how greatly shall he exult!
Psa 21:2 The desire of his heart thou hast given him, And what he uttered with his lips, thou hast not denied him. Selah.
Psa 21:3 For thou shalt prevent him with blessings of good; Thou shalt place upon his head a crown of gold.
Psa 21:4 Life he asked from thee; Thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
Psa 21:5 Great is his glory in thy salvation: Splendor and beauty thou hast put upon him.
Psa 21:6 For thou hast set him [to be] blessings for ever: Thou hast gladdened him with joy before thy countenance.
Psa 21:7 ¶ For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the goodness of the Most High, he shall not be moved
Psa 21:8 Find out shall thy hand all thy enemies; Thy right hand shall find out thy haters.
Psa 21:9 Thou shalt put them as in a furnace of fire in the time of thy wrath, O Jehova! In his wrath he shall overwhelm them, And consume them shall the fire.
Psa 21:10 Their fruit from the earth thou wilt destroy, And their seed from among the sons of men.
Psa 21:11 For they have spread out against thee evil; They have devised against thee a stratagem which they could not accomplish.
Psa 21:12 For thou wilt set them as a butt; On thy strings thou shalt make ready thy arrows against their faces.
Psa 21:13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah! in thy strength, Then we will sing and celebrate in psalms thy power.
Psa 22:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Upon the hind of the morning. A Psalm Of David> My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me? [Why art thou] far from my help, from the words of my roaring?
Psa 22:2 O my God! I cry by day, and thou dost not hear: And in the night, and am not silent.
Psa 22:3 Yet thou art holy, Inhabiting the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 In thee trust did our fathers: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
Psa 22:5 To thee they cried, and were saved: In thee they trusted, and were not put to shame.
Psa 22:6 But I am a worm, and not a man; The reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Psa 22:7 All who see me scoff at me: They thrust out the lip, they shake the head.
Psa 22:8 "He hath devolved," say they, "upon Jehovah, his cause, let him rescue him, "Let him deliver him, since he hath a favor for him."
Psa 22:9 Surely it is thou who didst take me out of the womb, Causing me to confide upon the breasts of my mother.
Psa 22:10 Upon thee I was cast from the womb: From the belly of my mother my God art thou.
Psa 22:11 ¶ Depart not far from me, for trouble is near, For there is no helper.
Psa 22:12 Encompassed me have bulls [that are] strong, The bulls of Bashan have beset me.
Psa 22:13 They have opened upon me their mouth, As a lion ravening and roaring.
Psa 22:14 Like water I have flowed, {"I am poured out." ––Fr.} And disjointed have been {"Are." ––Fr.} all my bones: My heart hath been {"Is." ––Fr.} like wax, It hath been {"Is." ––Fr.} melted in the midst of my bowels.
Psa 22:15 Dried up as a potsherd hath been {"Is." ––Fr.} my strength, And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And to the dust of death thou hast brought me.
Psa 22:16 For encompassed me have dogs; The assembly of the wicked have surrounded me: They have pierced my hands and my feet.
Psa 22:17 I will count all my bones; As for them they look and gaze upon me.
Psa 22:18 They divide my garments among them; Upon my vesture they cast the lot.
Psa 22:19 And thou, O Jehovah! be not far from me; Thou who art my strength, to my aid hasten.
Psa 22:20 Rescue from the sword my soul; From the hand of the dog my only one.
Psa 22:21 Save me from the mouth of the lion, And from the horns of unicorns do thou hear me.
Psa 22:22 ¶ I will declare thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
Psa 22:23 Saying, "Ye who fear Jehovah praise him: "All ye the seed of Jacob glorify him: "And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Psa 22:24 "For he hath not despised nor disdained the poor; "Nor hath he hidden his face from him; "And when he cried to him, he heard him."
Psa 22:25 From thee shall proceed my praise in the congregation great; My vows will I pay before them that fear him.
Psa 22:26 Eat shall the poor, and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah who seek him; Your heart shall live for ever.
Psa 22:27 Remember and turn to Jehovah shall all the ends of the earth; And prostrate themselves before his face shall all the tribes of the Gentiles.
Psa 22:28 For Jehovah’s is the kingdom, That he may have dominion among the Gentiles.
Psa 22:29 Eat and worship shall all the fat ones of the earth: Before his face shall bow all who are going down to the dust; And he who his own soul doth not quicken.
Psa 22:30 Their seed shall serve him, It shall be registered to the Lord for a generation.
Psa 22:31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness, To a people that shall be born, because he hath done [this.],
Psa 23:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David> Jehovah is my shepherd, therefore I shall not want any thing.
Psa 23:2 In pastures of grass he maketh me to lie down; To waters gently flowing he leadeth me.
Psa 23:3 My soul he restoreth: He leadeth me by the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psa 23:4 Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because thou art with me; Thy staff and thy crook they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou wilt prepare before me a table in the presence of my persecutors; Thou wilt anoint with oil my head; My cup overfloweth.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for a length of days.
Psa 24:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David> Jehovah’s is the earth, and the fullness thereof; The world, and those who dwell therein.
Psa 24:2 For he upon the seas hath founded it, And upon the floods he hath arranged it.
Psa 24:3 ¶ Who shall ascend into the mountain of Jehovah? Who shall stand in the place of his holiness?
Psa 24:4 He who is clean in hands and pure in heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, And hath not sworn deceitfully.
Psa 24:5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Psa 24:6 This is the generation of those who seek him, Of those who seek thy face, O Jacob! Selah.
Psa 24:7 ¶ Lift up, O ye gates! your heads, And be ye lifted up, ye doors everlasting! And enter shall the King of Glory.
Psa 24:8 Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in power. {In the French version it is "mighty in battle."}
Psa 24:9 Lift up, O ye gates! your heads, Lift up, I say, ye doors everlasting! And enter shall the King of Glory.
Psa 24:10 Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah of armies––He is the King of Glory. Selah.
Psa 25:1 ¶ <Of David> To thee, O Jehovah! my soul have I lifted up.
Psa 25:2 O my God! in thee have I hoped: Let me not be put to shame, Let not my enemies rejoice over me.
Psa 25:3 Yea none who wait on thee shall be put to shame: They shall be ashamed who deal perfidiously without cause.
Psa 25:4 Thy ways, O Jehovah! make me to know, Thy paths teach thou me.
Psa 25:5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee I have waited all the day.
Psa 25:6 Remember thy compassions, O Jehovah! And thy loving–kindnesses; for they have been from everlasting.
Psa 25:7 The transgressions of my youth, and my iniquities do not thou remember According to thy clemency remember thou me, For the sake of thy goodness, O Jehovah!
Psa 25:8 ¶ Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore he will teach sinners in the way.
Psa 25:9 He will guide the poor in judgment, And will teach the poor his way.
Psa 25:10 All the ways of Jehovah are mercy and truth, To those who keep his covenant and his testimony.
Psa 25:11 For the sake of thy name, O Jehovah! Be merciful to my iniquity, for great is it.
Psa 25:12 Who is the man that feareth Jehovah? He will teach him in the way which he should choose.
Psa 25:13 His soul in good shall dwell, And his seed shall inherit the land.
Psa 25:14 The counsel of Jehovah is to those who fear him, That he may make known to them his covenant.
Psa 25:15 ¶ My eyes are continually towards Jehovah, For he will bring out of the net my feet.
Psa 25:16 Have respect to me, take pity upon me, For solitary and poor am I.
Psa 25:17 The afflictions of my heart are enlarged; Out of my distresses do thou bring me.
Psa 25:18 Behold my affliction and my travail, And take away all my sins.
Psa 25:19 Behold my enemies, for they are multiplied; And with a violent hatred they hate me.
Psa 25:20 Guard my soul, and rescue me, That I may not be ashamed; For I have trusted in thee.
Psa 25:21 Let integrity and rectitude preserve me; Because I have waited for thee.
Psa 25:22 Redeem O God! Israel from all his troubles.
Psa 26:1 <Of David> Judge me, O Jehovah: Because in my integrity I have walked, And in Jehovah have trusted, I shall not stumble.
Psa 26:2 Prove me, O Jehovah! and try me, Examine my reins and my heart.
Psa 26:3 For thy goodness is before my eyes; Therefore I have walked in thy truth.
Psa 26:4 I have not sat with men of vanity, And with crafty men I will not go in.
Psa 26:5 I hate the assembly of transgressors, And with the wicked I will not sit.
Psa 26:6 ¶ I will wash in purity my hands, And will encompass thy altar, O Jehovah!
Psa 26:7 To cause to be heard the voice of praise, And to tell of all thy marvelous deeds.
Psa 26:8 O Jehovah! I have loved the habitation of thy house, And the place of the dwelling of thy glory.
Psa 26:9 Gather not with ungodly men, my soul, Nor with men of bloods my life.
Psa 26:10 For in their hands is maliciousness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
Psa 26:11 But as for me in my integrity I will walk: Redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
Psa 26:12 My foot hath stood in uprightness: In the congregations will I bless thee, O Jehovah!
Psa 27:1 ¶ <Of David> Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When approach against me did the wicked, To devour my flesh––My oppressors and my enemies against me––They stumbled and fell.
Psa 27:3 If there should encamp against me a camp, My heart shall not fear: If there should rise against me war, In this shall I have confidence.
Psa 27:4 One thing have I requested from Jehovah––This will I follow after––That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, To survey his temple.
Psa 27:5 For he shall hide me in his pavilion in the day of evil; He shall conceal me in the secret [recess] of his tent, Upon a rock he will set me.
Psa 27:6 And now he shall exalt my head Above my enemies who surround me: And I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of triumph; I will sing and will celebrate in psalms Jehovah.
Psa 27:7 ¶ Hear, O Jehovah! my voice with which I cry; Have mercy upon me and answer me.
Psa 27:8 To thee my heart hath said, "Seek ye my face;" Therefore thy face, O Jehovah! will I seek.
Psa 27:9 Hide not thy face from me; Cast not away in wrath thy servant: My strength thou hast been, do not desert me, And do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother shall forsake me, Jehovah shall receive me.
Psa 27:11 Teach me, O Jehovah! thy way, And lead me in the path of rectitude because of my enemies.
Psa 27:12 Do not deliver me to the desire of my oppressors, For risen up against me have false witnesses, And he who uttereth violence.
Psa 27:13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah, in the land of the living––.
Psa 27:14 Wait thou on Jehovah; Be strong, and he will comfort thy heart, And wait thou on Jehovah.
Psa 28:1 ¶ <Of David> Unto thee, O Jehovah! will I cry; O my strength! hold not thy peace from me Lest if thou shouldst be silent to me, I then become like those who descend into the grave.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my prayers when I cry to thee, When I lift up my hands to the sanctuary of thy holiness.
Psa 28:3 Draw me not away with ungodly men, And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace {i.e. Courteously, peaceably.} with their neighbors, When in their hearts is malice.
Psa 28:4 Give them according to their works, And according to the wickedness of their doings: According to the work of their hands give them, Render their reward to them.
Psa 28:5 Because they do not consider the doing of Jehovah, Nor the work of his hands, Let him destroy them and not build them up.
Psa 28:6 ¶ Blessed be Jehovah! For he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Psa 28:7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield; In him trusted hath my heart, and I have been helped: Therefore exult shall my heart, And with my song will I celebrate him.
Psa 28:8 Jehovah is strength to them, And the strength of the salvations of his Anointed is He.
Psa 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thy inheritance; Feed them and exalt them for ever.
Psa 29:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David> Ascribe to Jehovah: ye sons of the mighty––Ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.
Psa 29:2 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory of his name; Worship before Jehovah in the brightness of his sanctuary.
Psa 29:3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters; The God of glory thundereth; Jehovah is upon the waters great.
Psa 29:4 The voice of Jehovah is in strength, The voice of Jehovah is in majesty.
Psa 29:5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Break, I say, doth Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon.
Psa 29:6 And he maketh Lebanon to leap like a calf, And Sirion like the son of the unicorns.
Psa 29:7 The voice of Jehovah striketh out flames of fire.
Psa 29:8 The voice of Jehovah maketh the desert to tremble. Jehovah maketh to tremble the desert of Kadesh.
Psa 29:9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to bring forth, And discovereth the forests, And all meanwhile in his temple speak his praise.
Psa 29:10 Jehovah over the flood presideth, Preside, I say, doth Jehovah [as] King for ever.
Psa 29:11 Jehovah strength to his people will give; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
Psa 30:1 ¶ <A Psalm of a Song at the dedication of the house of David> I will exalt thee, O Jehovah! for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made glad my enemies over me.
Psa 30:2 O Jehovah, my God! I have cried to thee, And thou hast healed me.
Psa 30:3 O Jehovah! thou hast brought up from the grove my soul; Thou hast quickened me from among those who descend into the pit.
Psa 30:4 Sing to Jehovah, O ye his meek ones! And acknowledge the memorial of his holiness.
Psa 30:5 For there is only a moment in his anger, But life in his favor: In the evening will lodge weeping, And in the morning shall come exultation.
Psa 30:6 ¶ But as for me I had said in my tranquillity, "I shall not be moved for ever."
Psa 30:7 O Jehovah! in thy good pleasure Thou hast established strength to my mountain; Thou didst hide thy face, I was confounded.
Psa 30:8 O Jehovah! to thee I cried, And to my Lord I made supplication.
Psa 30:9 What profit shall there be in my blood, When I descend into the pit? Celebrate thee shall the dust? Shall it proclaim thy truth?
Psa 30:10 Hear, O Jehovah! and have mercy upon me; O Jehovah! be thou a helper to me.
Psa 30:11 Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing for me; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girded me with gladness.
Psa 30:12 That celebrate thee in psalms may my glory, and not be silent: O Jehovah, my God! for ever will I celebrate thee.
Psa 31:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David> In thee, O Jehovah! have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame for ever: In thy righteousness deliver me.
Psa 31:2 Incline to me thy ear, Speedily do thou rescue me; Be to me for a rock of strength, For a house of defense to save me.
Psa 31:3 For my rock, and my fortress art thou: And for the sake of thy name thou wilt direct and guide me.
Psa 31:4 Extricate me from the net, which they have hidden for me, For thou art my strength.
Psa 31:5 Into thy hand I will commend my spirit; For thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah! God of truth.
Psa 31:6 I hate all those who regard lying vanities; But as for me in Jehovah I have trusted.
Psa 31:7 I will exult and rejoice in thy goodness; Because thou hast looked upon my affliction: Thou hast known in distresses my soul:
Psa 31:8 And thou hast not shut me up in the hand of the enemy: But thou hast set at large my feet.
Psa 31:9 ¶ Have pity upon me, O Jehovah! for trouble is to me: My eye hath consumed away for vexation; my soul and my belly.
Psa 31:10 My life hath riffled through grid; And my years with groaning: My strength hath sunk through my sorrow, And my bones have moldered away.
Psa 31:11 On account of all my enemies I was a reproach, Yea to my neighbors exceedingly, And a terror to my acquaintances; And those who saw me abroad fled from me.
Psa 31:12 I was forgotten as a dead man from the heart; I became like a vessel [that is] broken.
Psa 31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: Fear hath seized me on every side, While they consult together against me, And to take away my life do devise.
Psa 31:14 But as for me, in thee have I trusted, O Jehovah! I have said, "My God art thou."
Psa 31:15 In thy hand are my times; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
Psa 31:16 Cause to shine upon thy servant thy face, Save me in thy goodness.
Psa 31:17 O Jehovah! let me not be put to shame, For I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, Let Gem be silent in the grave.
Psa 31:18 Let the lips of lying be put to shame, Which speak against the righteous a hard thing in pride and scorn.
Psa 31:19 ¶ How great is thy goodness, Which thou hast hidden for those who fear thee! Which thou hast performed for those who confide in thee, Before the sons of men!
Psa 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the hidden place of thy presence, From the prides of man; Thou shalt conceal them as in a tent, From the strife of tongues.
Psa 31:21 Blessed be Jehovah! For he hath made wonderful his goodness towards me, As in a city fortified.
Psa 31:22 But as for me, I had said in my fear, "I am cast away from before thy eyes:" Yet truly thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, When I cried unto thee.
Psa 31:23 Love Jehovah, all ye meek ones of his! The faithful preserve doth Jehovah, And he repayeth plentifully him who behaveth proudly.
Psa 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, All ye who hope in Jehovah.
Psa 32:1 ¶ <Of David. Giving instruction> Blessed are those to whom is remitted iniquity, And whose transgression is covered.
Psa 32:2 Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah doth not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is not guile.
Psa 32:3 When I kept silence, waste away did my bones, And when I wailed all the day.
Psa 32:4 For by day and night heavy upon me was thy hand; Turned into the drought of summer was my greenness. Selah.
Psa 32:5 My sin I have acknowledged to thee, And my iniquity I have not hid. I said, "I will confess against myself my wickedness to Jehovah;" And thou didst remit the guilt of my sin. Selah.
Psa 32:6 On this account, pray to thee shall every man, that is meek, In the time of finding thee: So that in a flood of many waters, To him they shall not come near.
Psa 32:7 ¶ Thou art a hiding–place to me; From trouble thou shalt preserve me; With songs of deliverance thou shalt encompass me. Selah.
Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee, And teach thee the way wherein thou shouldest walk: I will counsel thee with mine eye.
Psa 32:9 Be ye not like a horse, or like a mule, Which have not understanding: With bit and bridle his jaws thou shalt bind, Lest they kick against thee.
Psa 32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: But the man who hopeth in Jehovah goodness shall encompass.
Psa 32:11 Rejoice in Jehovah, and exult, ye righteous! Sing all ye who are upright in heart.
Psa 33:1 ¶ Exult, ye righteous! in Jehovah: For to the upright comely is praise.
Psa 33:2 Celebrate Jehovah upon the harp; Upon the nablure, {"La viole." ––Fr.} and instrument of ten strings, sing psalms to him
Psa 33:3 Sing to him a song that is new; Ardently sing with shouting.
Psa 33:4 For right is the word of Jehovah, And all his works are in faithfulness.
Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: Of the goodness of Jehovah fill is the earth.
Psa 33:6 By the word of Jehovah the heavens were established, And by the breath of his mouth all their host.
Psa 33:7 He gathered together as an heap the waters of the sea; He laid up as in treasure houses the deeps.
Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah; Of him let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe.
Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
Psa 33:10 Jehovah scattereth the counsel of the Gentiles, He rendereth fruitless the imaginations of the peoples.
Psa 33:11 The counsel of Jehovah for ever shall stand, The thoughts of his heart from age to age.
Psa 33:12 ¶ Blessed is the people to whom Jehovah is their God, The people whom he hath chosen for: in inheritance to himself.
Psa 33:13 From heavens looked down hath Jehovah, He hath beheld all the sons of Adam.
Psa 33:14 From the dwelling place of His throne, He hath looked on all the inhabitants of the earth.
Psa 33:15 He who hath fashioned together their hearts, Who understandeth all their works.
Psa 33:16 There is not a king saved by the multitude of an host, Nor a giant rescued by greatness of strength.
Psa 33:17 Fallacious is a horse for safety, And by the greatness of his strength he will not deliver.
Psa 33:18 Behold! the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear him, [Upon those] who hope in his mercy;
Psa 33:19 To rescue from death their souls, To keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: Our help and our shield is he.
Psa 33:21 Surely in him rejoice shall our heart, Because in his holy name we will trust.
Psa 33:22 Let thy mercy be upon us, O Jehovah! According as we have trusted in thee.
Psa 34:1 ¶ <Of David when he changed his countenance before Abimelech, who expelled him, and he departed> I will bless Jehovah at all times: Continually his praise shall be in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 In Jehovah make her boast shall my soul: Hear shall the humble and be glad.
Psa 34:3 Magnify? Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.
Psa 34:4 I sought. Jehovah, and he answered me, And from all my fears he delivered me.
Psa 34:5 They shall look to him, and shall flow to him, And their faces shall not he ashamed.
Psa 34:6 This poor man cried, : and Jehovah heard him, And from all his distresses saved him.
Psa 34:7 Encamp doth the angel of Jehovah about those who fear him, And will deliver them.
Psa 34:8 Taste ye and see that good is Jehovah: Blessed is the man who trusteth in him.
Psa 34:9 Fear Jehovah, ye saints of his; For nothing is lacking to those who fear him.
Psa 34:10 The young lions suffer want and are famished: But those who fear Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
Psa 34:11 ¶ Come ye children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I will teach you.
Psa 34:12 Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days in which he may see good?
Psa 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
Psa 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.
Psa 34:15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, And his ears [are open] to their cry.
Psa 34:16 The face of Jehovah is upon those who do evil, To blot out from the earth their remembrance.
Psa 34:17 They cried, and Jehovah heard them, And from all their distresses he delivered them.
Psa 34:18 Near is Jehovah to the broken in heart; The contrite in spirit he will save.
Psa 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But from them all deliver him will Jehovah.
Psa 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: One of them is not broken.
Psa 34:21 That malice shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be destroyed.
Psa 34:22 Redeem doth, Jehovah the soul of his servants, And they shall not perish who confide in him.
Psa 35:1 ¶ <Of David> Plead, O Jehovah! with those who plead with me, Fight against those who fight against me.
Psa 35:2 Lay hold on shield and buckler, And rise up to my aid.
Psa 35:3 Draw out the spear, and stop my ears against my persecutors: Say to my soul, "Thy salvation am I."
Psa 35:4 Let those be confounded and put to shame Who seek my soul, Let those be turned back and be abashed Who devise my hurt.
Psa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind? And let the angel of Jehovah drive them.
Psa 35:6 Let their way be darkness and slipperiness; And let the angel of Jehovah pursue them:
Psa 35:7 For without a cause they have hid for me the pitfall of their net, {That is the pitfall in which the net was placed to catch the victim.} Without a cause they have digged a pit for my soul.
Psa 35:8 Let there come upon him confusion of which he is not aware; And let the net which he hath hidden catch him; With confusion let him fall into it.
Psa 35:9 And my soul hath exulted in Jehovah, It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Psa 35:10 All my bones shall say, "O Jehovah! who is like to thee, "Rescuing the poor from him who is too strong for him, "The poor and wretched from his spoiler?"
Psa 35:11 ¶ Rise up do witnesses [that are] violent; Things which I have not known they ask me.
Psa 35:12 They repay me evil for good, To the bereaving of my soul.
Psa 35:13 But as for me, in their sickness my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted by fasting my soul; And my prayer upon my own bosom was turned.
Psa 35:14 As if he had been a friend, as if a brother to me, I behaved myself towards him: As he who mourneth heavily for his mother I humbled myself.
Psa 35:15 But they at my halting rejoiced, they were assembled together: Assembled together, I say, against me, were the abjects whom I had not known: They have torn with their lips and have not been silent.
Psa 35:16 Among perfidious jesters at feasts, They gnash upon me with their teeth.
Psa 35:17 ¶ O Lord! how long wilt thou behold it? Rescue my soul from their violence, From the lions my only one.
Psa 35:18 I will celebrate thee in the congregation great: Among people many I will praise thee.
Psa 35:19 Let not those rejoice over me, who unjustly are my enemies; Nor let those who hate me without a cause wink with the eye.
Psa 35:20 For peace they speak not;
Psa 35:21 They have opened against me their mouth; They have said, "Aha! aha! seen it hath our eye."
Psa 35:22 Thou hast seen it also, O Jehovah: Be not silent, O Lord! be not far from me.
Psa 35:23 Arouse thyself, and awake for my judgment, My God! and my Lord! to my cause.
Psa 35:24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! And let them not rejoice over me.
Psa 35:25 Let them not say in their heart, "Aha! our soul!" Let them not say "We have destroyed him."
Psa 35:26 Let those be ashamed and confounded together, Who rejoice at my calamity; Let those be clothed with shame and ignominy, Who magnify themselves against me.
Psa 35:27 But let those shout and rejoice, who favor my righteousness: And let them say continually, "Magnified be Jehovah! "Who loveth the peace of his servant."
Psa 35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness; All the day of thy praise.
Psa 36:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the servant of Jehovah, [even] of David> Ungodliness saith to the wicked man in the midst of my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Psa 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, Until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit, He teaseth to understand that he may do good.
Psa 36:4 Iniquity he meditates upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way not good; Evil he doth not abhor.
Psa 36:5 ¶ O Jehovah! unto the heavens is thy mercy, Thy truth even unto the clouds.
Psa 36:6 Thy justice is like the great mountains, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast, thou preservest, O Jehovah!
Psa 36:7 How precious is thy loving–kindness, O God! Therefore the sons of men in the shadow of thy wings shall trust.
Psa 36:8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And of the river of thy pleasures thou shalt cause them to drink.
Psa 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life, And in thy light shall we see light.
Psa 36:10 Extend thy mercy to those who know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me; And the hand of the ungodly let it not remove me.
Psa 36:12 There fallen are the workers of iniquity; They are thrust down and shall not be able to stand. {In the French version it is "rise."}
Psa 37:1 ¶ <Of David> Vex not thyself because of the wicked, Nor be envious on account of the workers of iniquity.
Psa 37:2 For like the grass quickly shall they be cut down; And as the green herb they shall wither.
Psa 37:3 Trust thou in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and be fed in truth.
Psa 37:4 And delight in Jehovah, And he will grant thee the request of thy heart.
Psa 37:5 Devolve upon Jehovah thy ways, And trust in him, and he will bring it to pass.
Psa 37:6 And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, And thy judgments as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 ¶ Be silent to Jehovah, and wait for him; Vex not thyself at him who prospereth in his way, At the man who committeth wickedness.
Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, forsake wrath, Vex not thyself so as to commit sin.
Psa 37:9 For the wicked shall be cut off; But those who wait for Jehovah shall inherit the earth.
Psa 37:10 Yet a little while, and the ungodly shall not be; And thou shalt give attention to his place, and shalt not find him.
Psa 37:11 But the meek ones shall inherit the earth, And shall be delighted in the abundance of peace.
Psa 37:12 Plot doth the ungodly against the righteous, And gnasheth against him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him, For he seeth that coming is his day.
Psa 37:14 Their sword draw do the ungodly, And their bow they bend, To lay prostrate the poor and needy, To slay those who are upright in the way.
Psa 37:15 But their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bow shall be broken.
Psa 37:16 Better is a little to the righteous man, Than the wealth of the ungodly who are great.
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the ungodly shall be broken; But Jehovah sustaineth the righteous.
Psa 37:18 Know doth Jehovah the days of the upright, And their inheritance for ever shall be.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of adversity; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psa 37:20 For the ungodly shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah like the fattest of lambs shall be consumed; Into smoke they shall be consumed.;
Psa 37:21 ¶ Borrow doth the ungodly man, and doth not repay; But the righteous man is compassionate and giveth.
Psa 37:22 For those who are blessed of him shall inherit the earth, And those who are cursed of him shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23 By Jehovah the steps of a man are directed, And his way he will love.
Psa 37:24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, For Jehovah putteth under [him] his hand.
Psa 37:25 Young I have been, I have also grown old; And yet I have not seen the righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging for bread.
Psa 37:26 Daily he is compassionate and lendeth, And his seed is for blessing.
Psa 37:27 Depart from evil and do good, And dwell for ever.
Psa 37:28 For Jehovah loveth judgment, And doth not forsake his meek ones; For ever shall they be preserved: And the seed of the ungodly shall be cut off.
Psa 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the earth, And shall dwell for ever upon it.
Psa 37:30 The mouth of the righteous shall speak wisdom;
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; Slide not shall his steps.
Psa 37:32 Watch doth the ungodly the righteous man, And seeketh to put him to death.
Psa 37:33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 ¶ Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he shall exalt thee to inherit the earth: When the ungodly shall be cut off thou shalt see it.
Psa 37:35 I have seen the ungodly man robust, {In French version the word is "terrible," which is the idea of the original Hebrew term.} And spreading himself like a green bay tree;
Psa 37:36 And he passed away, and to I he was not; And I sought for his place, and he was not found.
Psa 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and consider the upright; For the end of such a man is peace.
Psa 37:38 But transgressors shall be destroyed together: The end of the ungodly shall be cut off.
Psa 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah: He will be their strength in the time of trouble.
Psa 37:40 And help them shall Jehovah, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked: He shall save them, because they trust in him.
Psa 38:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David: to bring to remembrance> O Jehovah! do not in thy fury rebuke me, And in thy wrath do not chasten me.
Psa 38:2 For thy arrows go down in me, And descend upon me doth thy hand.
Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh, because of thy wrath, Nor peace in my bones because of my sin.
Psa 38:4 For my iniquities have passed over my head, Like a burden that is weighty, they are too heavy for me.
Psa 38:5 Putrid [and] corrupt have my wounds become, Because of my foolishness.
Psa 38:6 I am bowed down, I am brought low exceedingly; Day by day a mourner I do walk:
Psa 38:7 For my reins are filled with a burning heat; Nor is there soundness in my flesh.
Psa 38:8 I am enfeebled and broken exceedingly: I have roared through the disquietude of my heart.
Psa 38:9 O Lord! before thee is all my desire, And my groaning from thee is not hidden,
Psa 38:10 My heart hath throbbed, forsaken me hath my strength; And the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
Psa 38:11 My friends and my companions aloof from my stroke have stood, And my kinsmen afar off have stood.
Psa 38:12 ¶ And they have laid snares who sought for my soul; Arid those who sought my hurt have threatened mischiefs; And deceits daily do they meditate.
Psa 38:13 But as for me, like a deaf man I hear not; And I am like a dumb man who openeth not his mouth.
Psa 38:14 And I was as a man who doth not hear, And in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
Psa 38:15 For on thee, O Jehovah! do I wait: Thou wilt answer me, O Lord, my God!
Psa 38:16 For I said, "Lest they should rejoice over me:" At the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves,
Psa 38:17 Surely as for me I am ready to halt; And my sorrow is before me continually.
Psa 38:18 Surely my iniquity I declare; I am in consternation because of my sin.
Psa 38:19 But my enemies are living; {Calvin has inadvertently omitted in his Latin version to translate the word 'Myyx' "living." But he translates it in his French version.} they are strong; And those are become mighty who hate me wrongfully.
Psa 38:20 And they who requite me evil for good are against me, Because I follow [what is] good.
Psa 38:21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah, my God! Be not far from me.
Psa 38:22 Hasten to my help, O Lord, my salvation!
Psa 39:1 <To the Chief Musician, Jeduthun. A Psalm of David> I said "I will take heed to my ways, "That I sin not with my tongue: "I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, "While the ungodly man standeth before me."
Psa 39:2 I was dumb not uttering a word; I held my peace [even] from good; And my sorrow was stirred.
Psa 39:3 My heart became hot within me; In my musing a fire did burn; I spake with my tongue.
Psa 39:4 Cause me to know, O Jehovah! my end, And the number of my days, That I may know of what duration I am.
Psa 39:5 Behold! as an handbreadth thou hast made my days, And my duration is as nothing before thee: Surely altogether vanity is every mart while he standeth.
Psa 39:6 Surely in a shadow man walketh; [Selah. Surely in vain is he disquieted: They heap together, and know not who shall gather.
Psa 39:7 ¶ And now what do I wait for, O Lord? My hope is towards thee.
Psa 39:8 From all my sins deliver thou me: The reproach of the foolish make me not.
Psa 39:9 I was dumb; I will not open my mouth, Because thou hast done it.
Psa 39:10 Remove from me thy stroke: By the blow of thy hand I have failed.
Psa 39:11 With rebukes for iniquity thou chastisest man; And causest to waste away as a moth his beauty: Surely vanity is every man. Selah.
Psa 39:12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah! And to my cry give ear; At my tears be not silent; For a stranger am I before thee, A sojourner like all my fathers.
Psa 39:13 Let me alone, that I may recover strength, Before I depart and be no more.
Psa 40:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David> I have patiently waited for Jehovah, And he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
Psa 40:2 And he drew me out of the roaring pit, Out of the mire of clay, And set upon a rock my feet; He hath established my steps.
Psa 40:3 And he hath put in my mouth a song [that is] new, Even praise to our God: See shall many and shall fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.
Psa 40:4 Blessed is the man who maketh Jehovah his confidence, And hath not respected the proud, Nor those who turn aside to lying.
Psa 40:5 Many, O Jehovah, my God! are thy wonderful works which thou hast done; And thy thoughts towards us it is impossible to reckon up in order to thee: I will declare and speak [of them; ][But] they are more than can be told.
Psa 40:6 ¶ Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not taken pleasure in: But my ears hast thou made fit: {In the Latin version it is "aptasti;" and in the French, "tu as perce."} Burnt–offering and sin–offering thou hast not required.
Psa 40:7 Then I said, "Behold! I come; "In the volume of the book it is written of me,
Psa 40:8 "That I may do thy pleasure, O my God! "I have desired to do it, "And thy law is in the midst of my bowels."
Psa 40:9 I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the assembly great: Behold my lips I will not restrain; O Jehovah! thou knowest it.
Psa 40:10 Thy righteousness I have not hidden within my heart; Thy truth and thy salvation I have declared: I have not concealed thy goodness and thy truth in the assembly great.
Psa 40:11 ¶ O thou, Jehovah! withhold not thy compassions from me; Let thy goodness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psa 40:12 For encompassed me have evils innumerable; Laid hold upon me have my iniquities, yea in so great number that I cannot see them: They are more in number than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.
Psa 40:13 Let it please thee, O Jehovah! to deliver me; O Jehovah! to my aid make haste.
Psa 40:14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together Who seek after my soul to destroy it; Let them be turned backward and put to shame Who seek after my hurt.
Psa 40:15 Let them be destroyed for a reward of their shame, Who have said to me, "Aha! aha!"
Psa 40:16 Let all those exult and rejoice in thee who seek thee; And let those say continually, "May Jehovah be magnified" ––"Those who love thy salvation.
Psa 40:17 But as for me I am poor and needy. Jehovah hath regarded me; My help and my deliverer art thou: O thou, my God! delay not.
Psa 41:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David> Blessed is he who judgeth wisely of the poor: In the day of evil Jehovah will deliver him.
Psa 41:2 Jehovah will keep him, and preserve him alive: He shall be blessed upon the earth: And thou will not give him up to the desire of his enemies.
Psa 41:3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of sorrow: All his bed thou hast turned in his sickness.
Psa 41:4 I have said, "O Jehovah! have mercy upon me;" "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee."
Psa 41:5 ¶ My enemies have spoken evil of me, "When will he die, and perish shall his name?"
Psa 41:6 And if he come to see me falsely doth he speak; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself’: When he goeth abroad he speaketh [it.]
Psa 41:7 Together against me do all my haters whisper; Against me do they devise evil for me, [saying,]
Psa 41:8 "An evil deed of Belial cleaveth fast to him; "And he who lieth shall not rise again."
Psa 41:9 Even the man of my peace in whom I trusted, Who eateth of my bread, hath lifted up against me the heel.
Psa 41:10 Do thou then, O Jehovah! have mercy upon me; Raise me up, and I will recompense them.
Psa 41:11 By this I have known that I have been acceptable to thee, Because my enemy shall not triumph over me.
Psa 41:12 And as for me, in my integrity thou wilt uphold me, And wilt establish me before thy face for ever.
Psa 41:13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, For ever and ever. Amen and Amen.
Psa 42:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A lesson of instruction to the Sons of Korah> As the hart crieth for the fountains of waters, So my soul crieth for thee, O God!
Psa 42:2 Thirsted hath my soul for God, for the living God: When shall I come to appear before the face of God?
Psa 42:3 To me have my tears been for bread, by day and night, While it is said to me daily, "Where is thy God?"
Psa 42:4 When these things I remember, I pour out within me my soul, Because I had gone with the procession, Leading them even to the house of God, With the voice of exultation and praise, ––The multitude dancing for joy.
Psa 42:5 ‘Why art thou cast down, O my soul! And why art thou disquieted within me? Wait thou for God; for I shall yet give him thanks, [For] the salvations of his countenance.
Psa 42:6 ¶ O my God! my soul within me is cast down, When I remember thee from the land of Jordan and of Hermonim, From the mountain Mizar.
Psa 42:7 Deep unto deep calleth at the noise of thy waterspouts: All thy waves and all thy billows over me have gone.
Psa 42:8 By day command will Jehovah his loving–kindness, And by night his song shall be with me, And prayer to the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 I will say to God, my Rock, "Why hast thou forgotten me? "Why mourning do I go because of the oppression of my enemy?"
Psa 42:10 [It is as] a wound in my bones when my enemies reproach me, Saying to me daily, "Where is thy God?"
Psa 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet give thanks to him, The salvations of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 43:1 ¶ Judge me, O God! and plead my cause: From a people without mercy, from a man deceitful and wicked deliver me.
Psa 43:2 For thou art the God of my strength; Why art thou estranged from me? Why mourning do I go because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 43:3 Send forth thy light and thy truth; Let them direct me, let them conduct me, To the mountain of thy holiness, and to thy tabernacles.
Psa 43:4 And I will go to the altar of God, To the God of the joy of my rejoicing; And I will celebrate thee upon the harp, O God, my God!
Psa 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul! And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet celebrate him, Who is the salvation of my countenance and my God.
Psa 44:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. Giving instruction> O God! with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have told us, The work which thou hast done in their days, In the days of old.
Psa 44:2 Thou with thy hand hast expelled the heathen, and planted them: Thou hast wasted the peoples and multiplied them:
Psa 44:3 For not by their own sword acquired they the land, And their own arm did not save them; But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable to them.
Psa 44:4 Thou, even thou, art my King; O God! command salvations for Jacob.
Psa 44:5 Through thee our adversaries with the horn we have pushed; In thy name we have trampled under foot those who rise up against us.
Psa 44:6 For not in my bow will I trust, And my sword will not save me.
Psa 44:7 Surely thou hast saved us from our enemies, And our haters thou hast put to shame.
Psa 44:8 In God we will boast all the day, And thy name for ever shall we praise. Selah.
Psa 44:9 ¶ Nevertheless thou hast abhorred us and put us to shame, And thou goest not forth any more with our armies.
Psa 44:10 Thou hast made us to turn back from him that afflicteth us, And our haters have spoiled us for themselves.
Psa 44:11 Thou hast given us as sheep for food; And among the heathen thou hast scattered us.
Psa 44:12 Thou hast sold thy people, and not become rich, And thou hast not increased the price of them.
Psa 44:13 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are round about us.
Psa 44:14 Thou hast made us a byword among the heathen, A shaking of the head among the peoples.
Psa 44:15 Daily is my reproach before me, And the shame of my face hath quite covered me,
Psa 44:16 Because of the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, Because of the face of the adversary and avenger.
Psa 44:17 ¶ All this is come upon us, and we have not forgotten thee, Nor dealt perfidiously in thy covenant;
Psa 44:18 Not turned back hath our heart, Nor declined have our steps from thy path.
Psa 44:19 Although thou hast crushed us in the place of dragons, And covered us with the shadow of death.
Psa 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, And have spread forth our hands to a God that is strange;
Psa 44:21 Shall not God search out this? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 Surely for thy sake we are killed daily; We are accounted as sheep [appointed] for slaughter.
Psa 44:23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake, do not forget us for ever.
Psa 44:24 Wherefore thy face dost thou hide? Wilt thou forget our misery and our affliction?
Psa 44:25 For humbled to the dust is our soul; Cleave to the earth doth our belly.
Psa 44:26 Arise for our help, And redeem us for the sake of thy loving–kindness.
Psa 45:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Upon the lilies. Of the sons of Korah. Giving instruction. A Song of loves> Boiling over is my heart to speak a goodly theme, Speak shall I myself of my works concerning the King: My tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
Psa 45:2 Thou art fair above the sons of men; Diffused is grace on thy lips; Because God hath blessed thee for ever.
Psa 45:3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one! With majesty and glory.
Psa 45:4 And in thy majesty prosper thou; Ride forth upon the word of truth, and meekness and righteousness; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things:
Psa 45:5 Thy arrows are sharp (so that the people fall under thee) In the hearts of the enemies of the king.
Psa 45:6 ¶ Thy throne, O God! is for ever and ever; The scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom.
Psa 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness and hatest impiety; Because anointed thee hath God, thy God, With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Psa 45:8 Myrrh, and aloes and cassia [are] in all thy garments, Out of the ivory palaces, whence they have made thee glad.
Psa 45:9 The daughters of kings [were] among thy maids of honor; Stand did thy consort at thy right hand in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 ¶ Hearken, O daughter! and consider and incline thy ear; And forget thy people, and the house of thy father.
Psa 45:11 And enamored shall be the King with thy beauty; For he is thy Lord, and thou shalt worship him.
Psa 45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall come] with a present; Thy favor entreat shall the rich among the people.
Psa 45:13 All glorious is the daughter of the King within; Of garments embroidered with gold is her clothing.
Psa 45:14 In raiment of needle–work she shall be brought to the King; Her virgins that follow her, her companions shall be brought to thee.
Psa 45:15 They shall be brought with joy and exultation; They shall enter into the palace of the King.
Psa 45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children; Thou shalt make them princes in all the earth.
Psa 45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generation; Therefore celebrate thee shall the peoples for ever and ever.
Psa 46:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. Upon Alamoth. A Song> God is to us a protection and strength; A help in troubles he is found exceedingly.
Psa 46:2 Therefore we will not fear when moved shall be the earth, And fall shall the mountains into the heart of the sea.
Psa 46:3 [When] roar and rage tempestuously shall the waters thereof; [When] shake shall the mountains with the swelling thereof. Selah.
Psa 46:4 The streams of her river shall make glad the city of God, The Sanctuary of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Psa 46:5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: Help her will God at the dawn of the morning.
Psa 46:6 ¶ Rage did the peoples, moved were the kingdoms: He uttered his voice, melt did the earth.
Psa 46:7 Jehovah of armies is with us; A fortress for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
Psa 46:8 Come ye, consider the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath wrought in the earth.
Psa 46:9 He maketh to cease battles, even to the ends of the earth; He breaketh the bow, he shattereth in pieces the arms; The chariot he burneth with fire.
Psa 46:10 Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth.
Psa 46:11 Jehovah of armies is with us; A fortress for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
Psa 47:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. Upon Alamoth. A Song> O all ye peoples! clap the hand; Shout unto God with the voice of exultation;
Psa 47:2 For Jehovah is high, terrible, A great king over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 He hath put in order the people under us, And the nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4 He hath chosen for us our inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he hath loved. Selah.
Psa 47:5 ¶ Gone up is God with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Psa 47:6 Sing psalms to God, sing psalms; Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms;
Psa 47:7 For king of all the earth is God; Sing praises, all ye who understand!
Psa 47:8 The kingdom he hath obtained over the heathen; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
Psa 47:9 The princes of the peoples are assembled together To the people of the God of Abraham: For to God belong the shields of the earth: He is greatly exalted.
Psa 48:1 ¶ <A Song of a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah> Great is Jehovah and to be praised greatly In the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
Psa 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, The mountain of Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
Psa 48:3 God in her palaces is known for a defense.
Psa 48:4 For behold! the kings assembled, They passed away together.
Psa 48:5 They themselves saw, so they marveled; They were frightened, they fled precipitately,
Psa 48:6 Fear seized upon them there, Pain as of one in travail.
Psa 48:7 By the east wind thou breakest in pieces the ships of Tarshish.
Psa 48:8 ¶ As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of Hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah
Psa 48:9 We have waited, O God! for thy mercy In the midst of thy temple,
Psa 48:10 As is thy name, O God! So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Of righteousness full is thy right hand.
Psa 48:11 Rejoice shall Mount Zion, Exult shall the daughters of Judah, Because of thy judgments.
Psa 48:12 Encompass Zion, and walk round about her. Number the towers thereof,
Psa 48:13 Set your heart to her walls, Exalt her towers, That ye may make report to the generations to come.
Psa 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.
Psa 49:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm> Hear this all ye peoples; Give ear all ye inhabitants of the world:
Psa 49:2 Both ye sons of Adam, and ye sons of men, Rich and poor together.
Psa 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdoms, And the meditation of my heart is of understanding.
Psa 49:4 I will incline to a parable my ear: I will open upon the harp my enigma.
Psa 49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil? The iniquity of my heel shall compass me about.
Psa 49:6 ¶ They trust in their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches do glory.
Psa 49:7 The brother shall not be able to redeem; None shall give to God the price of his redemption.
Psa 49:8 And precious shall be the redemption of their soul, And their continuance for ever:
Psa 49:9 That he should still live for ever, And not see the grave.
Psa 49:10 For he shall see that wise men die, Together the fool and the brutish person shall perish, And leave to strangers their wealth.
Psa 49:11 Their inward thought is [how to make] their houses [to continue] for ever, Their dwelling–places from generation to generation: They have called out their names upon the earth.
Psa 49:12 And man in honor shall not abide; He hath become like the beasts: they perish.
Psa 49:13 This their way is foolishness in them, And their posterity in their saying will acquiesce. Selah.
Psa 49:14 Like sleep in the grave they are laid; Death shall feed them; And have dominion over them shall the upright in the morning, And their strength shall wax old; The grave shall receive them from their dwelling.
Psa 49:15 ¶ But God shall redeem my soul from the hand of the grave; For he hath taken me up. Selah.
Psa 49:16 Be not thou afraid when a man shall become rich, When increased shall be the glory of his house;
Psa 49:17 For he shall not at his death carry all away: Descend not after him shall his glory:
Psa 49:18 For his soul in his lifetime he will bless, And they shall praise thee when thou doest well to thyself.
Psa 49:19 He shall come to the age of his fathers, Even for ever he shall not see the light.
Psa 49:20 Man is in honor, and will not understand: He hath become like the beasts: they shall perish.
Psa 50:1 ¶ <A Song, of Asaph> The God of gods, Jehovah hath spoken, And called the earth From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the Perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Psa 50:3 Come shall our God, and shall not keep silence; A fire before him shall devour, And round about him a tempest shall rage exceedingly.
Psa 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to judge his people.
Psa 50:5 "Gather together to me my meek ones, (will he say), "Those who strike a covenant with me over sacrifices."
Psa 50:6 And declare shall the heavens his righteousness: For God is judge himself. Selah.

Psa 50:9 "I will not take out of thy house a calf, "Nor out of thy folds he–goats:
Psa 50:10 "For mine are all the beasts of the forest, "The cattle upon a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11 "I know all the birds of the mountains; "And the wild beasts of the field are at my command.
Psa 50:12 "If I am hungry, I will not tell thee: "For mine is the world and the fullness thereof.

Psa 50:14 "Sacrifice unto God praise, "And pay unto the Most High thy vows.
Psa 50:15 "Call upon me in the day of trouble; "I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Psa 50:16 ¶ "But unto the wicked said hath God, "What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, "[Or] that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy lips?
Psa 50:17 "Also thou hatest correction, "And castest my words behind thee.
Psa 50:18 "If thou seest a thief, thou wilt run with him, "And with adulterers is thy portion.
Psa 50:19 "Thy mouth thou puttest forth to evil, "And thy tongue frameth deceit,
Psa 50:20 "Thou wilt sit against thy brother; "Thou wilt speak against the sons of thy mother; "Thou wilt set forth slander.
Psa 50:21 "These things thou hast done, and I kept silence; "Thou thoughtest that I would be like thyself’: "I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Psa 50:22 "Now consider this, ye who forget God, "Lest I seize upon you and there be none to deliver.
Psa 50:23 "He who sacrificeth praise will glorify me: "And he who ordereth his way to him will I show the salvation of God."
Psa 51:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba> Have pity upon me, O God! according to thy mercy; According to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my iniquities.
Psa 51:2 Multiply to wash me from my sin, And from my wickedness do thou cleanse me.
Psa 51:3 For my sins I know, And my wickedness is before me continually.
Psa 51:4 Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned, And that which was displeasing in thy sight have I done; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be pure in giving judgment.
Psa 51:5 Behold in iniquity I was born, And in sin conceive me did my mother.
Psa 51:6 Behold, truth thou hast loved in the inmost parts, And in secret, wisdom thou hast made me know.
Psa 51:7 ¶ Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; And exult shall the bones which thou hast broken.
Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, And all my iniquities blot out.
Psa 51:10 A heart [that is] clean create in me, O God! And a spirit [that is] right renew in my inward parts.
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy face, And the Spirit of thy holiness take not from me.

Psa 51:13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, the ungodly to time shall be converted.
Psa 51:14 ¶ Deliver me from bloods, O God! O God of my salvation! And sing aloud shall my tongue of thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15 O Lord! my lips do thou open, And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Psa 51:16 For thou wilt not accept a sacrifice; Though I should give a burnt–offering, it would not please thee.
Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God are an afflicted spirit: A heart afflicted and contrite, O God! thou wilt not despise.
Psa 51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion; Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Psa 51:19 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifices of righteousness, The burnt–offering and oblation; {In the French Version it is "the whole oblation."} Then shall come upon thy altar calves.
Psa 52:1 <To the Chief Musician. A lesson of instruction of David: when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, that David had come into the house of Abimelech> Why dost thou glory in thy wickedness, O mighty man? The goodness of God continueth daily.
Psa 52:2 Thy tongue reckoneth up mischiefs, Like a razor [that is] sharp working deceitfully.
Psa 52:3 Thou lovest wickedness more than goodness; Falsehood more than to speak righteousness. Selah.
Psa 52:4 Thou lovest all words of deceit, O thou tongue of guilefulness!
Psa 52:5 Likewise God shall destroy thee for ever: He shall lay hold on thee and pluck thee out of thy tabernacle, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
Psa 52:6 ¶ See it also shall the righteous ones, and shall fear, And at him they shall laugh.
Psa 52:7 Behold! the man who made not God his strength; And trusted in the abundance of his riches, And was strong in his wickedness.
Psa 52:8 But as for me I shall be like an olive–tree [that is] green in the house of God: I have trusted in the goodness of God for ever and ever.
Psa 52:9 I will celebrate thee for ever, because thou hast done [it:] {In the French Version it is "because thou shalt have executed this vengeance."} I will wait on thy name, For it is good in the presence of thy meek ones.
Psa 53:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician, upon Mahalath. A lesson of instruction ofDavid> The fool hath said in his heart, "There is not a God:" They have corrupted [all good order,] they have done abominable work: There is none who doeth good.
Psa 53:2 God from heaven looked down upon the sons of men, To see if there was any who did understand, Who did seek after God.
Psa 53:3 Every one of them hath gone back; They have all together become corrupt: There is none that doeth good, not even one.
Psa 53:4 Have they no knowledge, all these workers of iniquity? Eating my people [as] they eat bread: Upon Jehovah they have not called.
Psa 53:5 There were they afraid with fear, where there was not fear; For scattered hath Jehovah the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame because God hath despised them.
Psa 53:6 Who shall give out of Zion deliverance to Israel? When bring back shall God the captivity of his people, Rejoice shall Jacob, exult shall Israel.
Psa 54:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician, on Neginoth. A lesson of instruction of David. When the Ziphims came and said to Saul, "Doth not David hide himself with us?"> O God! by thy name save me, And by thy strength judge me.
Psa 54:2 O God! hear my prayer, Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Psa 54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, And terrible ones have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah.
Psa 54:4 ¶ Behold! God is a helper to me; The Lord is with those who uphold my soul.
Psa 54:5 He shall repay evil to my adversaries: In thy truth cut them off.
Psa 54:6 Willingly will I sacrifice to thee; I will celebrate thy name, O Jehovah! for it is good.
Psa 54:7 For out of all trouble he hath delivered me; And [punishment] upon my adversaries mine eye hath seen.
Psa 55:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician on Neginoth. A lesson of instruction of David> Give ear, O God! to my prayer, And hide not thyself from my supplication.
Psa 55:2 Attend to me, and answer me: I will wail in my address, and will become tumultuous.
Psa 55:3 By reason of the voice of the enemy––Under the oppression of the ungodly; For they cast upon me iniquity, In wrath they set themselves against me.
Psa 55:4 My heart trembleth within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Psa 55:5 Fear and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.
Psa 55:6 And I said, "Who will give me wings like a dove? "I will fly away and be at rest.
Psa 55:7 "Lo! I will flee far away, "I will repose in the desert. Selah.
Psa 55:8 "I will hasten my escape from the tempestuous whirlwind."
Psa 55:9 ¶ Destroy, O Lord! divide their tongue: For I have seen oppression and strife in the city.
Psa 55:10 By day and night they go round it upon the walls thereof: And labor and sorrow are in the midst of it.
Psa 55:11 Wickedness {Literally, "wickedness."} is in the midst of it; And fraud and deceit depart not from the streets thereof.
Psa 55:12 Truly it was not an enemy who reproached me, For [then] I could have borne [it:] It was not an adversary who magnified himself against me, For [then] I would have hid himself from him.
Psa 55:13 But thou, a man according to my own rank, My guide, and my familiar friend.
Psa 55:14 We sweetly exchanged our secret thoughts; Into the house of God we walked in company.
Psa 55:15 Let death seize upon them, Let them descend into the grave alive; For wickedness {Ibid} is I, their dwelling, in the midst of them.
Psa 55:16 ¶ As for me, to God; will I cry, And Jehovah shall save me.
Psa 55:17 In the evening, and the morning, and at noonday Will I pray, and cry aloud; And he shall hear my voice.
Psa 55:18 He hath redeemed into peace my soul From the battle which was against me: For many were with me.
Psa 55:19 Hear shall God, and shall afflict them, Even he who sitteth from ancient time. Selah. Because they have no changes, And fear not God.
Psa 55:20 He hath set his hands against those who were at peace with him: He hath broken his covenant.
Psa 55:21 Smoother than butter are the words of his mouth, And in his heart is war; Softer are his words than oil, And [yet] they are darts.
Psa 55:22 Cast upon Jehovah whatever blessings thou askest from him, {A free translation is here given. See the Commentary for the literal rendering.} And he shall feed thee; He shall not suffer for ever the righteous man to stagger.
Psa 55:23 Thou, O God! shalt cast them into the pit of corruption: The men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days: But as for me, I will hope in thee.
Psa 56:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician upon, the silent dove in distant places. Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath> Have mercy upon me, O God, For swallow me up doth man; He daily assaulting doth oppress me.
Psa 56:2 Swallow me up do my enemies daily: Truly many strive to oppress me, O Jehovah, Most High!
Psa 56:3 In the day when I was afraid, I in thee did trust.
Psa 56:4 In God I will praise his word; In God have I trusted; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
Psa 56:5 Every day my words disquiet me; Against me are all their thoughts for evil.
Psa 56:6 They assemble together, they hide themselves, My heels they watch, Because they desire my soul.
Psa 56:7 In their iniquity they think there is escape for them: In thy wrath the peoples thou wilt cast down, O God!
Psa 56:8 ¶ My wanderings thou numbereth, even thou: Put my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy register?
Psa 56:9 Then my enemies shall be turned back in the day when I cry: This I know, because God is with me.
Psa 56:10 In God will I praise [his] word; In Jehovah will I praise [his] word.
Psa 56:11 In God have I trusted; I will not fear what man can do to me.
Psa 56:12 Upon me, O God! are thy vows, I will render praises to thee.

Psa 57:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Destroy not. Michtam of David. When he fled from the face of Saul in the cave> Have mercy upon me, O God! have mercy upon me; For in thee my soul doth trust; And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, Until iniquity pass away.
Psa 57:2 I will cry to God Most High, Who perfecteth [his work] towards me.
Psa 57:3 He shall send from Heaven, And shall save me from the reproach of him who swalloweth me up: Send forth shall God his mercy and his truth.
Psa 57:4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie among those who are set on fire, ––Among the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sword [that is] sharp.
Psa 57:5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God! Above all the earth thy glory.
Psa 57:6 A net they have prepared for my steps: Bowed down is my soul: They have digged before me a pit, But they have fallen into it. Selah
Psa 57:7 ¶ Prepared is my heart, O God! prepared is my heart: I will sing, and chant psalms.
Psa 57:8 Awake my tongue, awake nablum {"Psaltery" in the French version.} and harp: I will awake at dawn of day.
Psa 57:9 I will celebrate thee, among the peoples, O Lord! I will sing psalms to thee among the nation:
Psa 57:10 For great unto the heavens is thy goodness, And unto the clouds thy truth.
Psa 57:11 Be thou exalted, above the heavens, O God! Above all the earth thy glory.
Psa 58:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Destroy not. Michtam of David> Do ye indeed, O ye congregation! speak righteousness? Uprightly do ye judge? O ye sons of men!
Psa 58:2 Yea rather in your heart wickedness ye plot, On the earth violence your hands weigh out.
Psa 58:3 Estranged are the ungodly from the womb, They have gone astray from their birth speaking falsehood.
Psa 58:4 They have poison like the poison of a serpent, [They are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Psa 58:5 Which listeneth not to the voice of the enchanter, ––Of him who exerciseth enchantment skillfully.
Psa 58:6 ¶ O God! break their teeth in their mouth: The jawbones of the lions break, O Jehovah!
Psa 58:7 Let them melt away like water, let them be gone: Let them bend their bow, and let their arrows be as if broken.
Psa 58:8 Like a snail which melteth away let them vanish; Like the untimely birth of a woman which doth not see the sun.
Psa 58:9 Before your pots can feel the fire of the bramble, Like flesh yet raw as a whirlwind he shall carry him away.
Psa 58:10 Rejoice shall the righteous when he seeth the vengeance; His hands he shall wash in the blood of the ungodly.
Psa 58:11 And men {Literally "man."} shall say, "Truly there is fruit for the righteous, "Truly there is a God who judgeth in the earth."
Psa 59:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Destroy not. Michtam of David. When Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him> Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! from those who rise up against me set me on high.
Psa 59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And from men of bloods save me:
Psa 59:3 For lo! they have laid snares for my soul; Gathered together against me have the strong men; Not [for] my sin, nor [for] my wickedness, O Jehovah!
Psa 59:4 Without any iniquity of mine they have run and prepared themselves. Awake and come to meet me, and behold.
Psa 59:5 And thou, O Jehovah, God of armies! the God of Israel! Awake to visit all the nations; Do not have compassion upon any who transgress wickedly. Selah.
Psa 59:6 They will return at evening; They will make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
Psa 59:7 Behold they will prate with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; "For who," say they, "will hear?"
Psa 59:8 ¶ But thou, O Jehovah! shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt hold in derision all the nations.
Psa 59:9 His strength with thee I will put in trust; For God is my fortress.
Psa 59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me; God will make me see my desire upon my enemies.
Psa 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people should forget; Make them to wander by thy power; And bring them down, O Lord, our shield!
Psa 59:12 The sin of their mouth, the words of their lips: Let them be taken in their pride: of cursing and lying let them speak.
Psa 59:13 Consume, in thy fury consume them, that they may be no more; And let men know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth. Selah. {In the French version the reading is––"And let men know even unto the ends of the earth, That God ruleth in Jacob. Selah."}
Psa 59:14 And they will return at evening; They will bark like a dog, And go round about the city.
Psa 59:15 They will wander up and down for food; If they be not satisfied they will even stay all night.
Psa 59:16 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength, I will praise in the morning thy mercy; For thou hast been a fortress to me, And a refuge in the day of my trouble.
Psa 59:17 My strength is with thee, I will sing psalms; For God is my fortress, the God of my mercy.

When he fought against the Syrians of Mesopotamia and against the Syrians of Zobah; and when Joab, having returned, smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand> O God! thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us; Thou hast been angry, O return to us!
Psa 60:2 To tremble thou hast made the earth; Thou hast caused it to open wide; Heal the breaches thereof for it shaketh.
Psa 60:3 Thou hast showed to thy people a hard thing, Thou hast made us drunk with the wine of stupefaction.
Psa 60:4 Thou hast given to those who fear thee a banner, That it may be displayed before thy truth. Selah.
Psa 60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand and hear me.
Psa 60:6 ¶ God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice: I will divide Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I will measure.
Psa 60:7 Mine shall be Gilead, and mine shall be Manasseh; And Ephraim shall be the strength of my head; Judah, my lawgiver.
Psa 60:8 Moab shall be the pot for my washing; Over Edom will I cast my shoe; O Palestina! triumph thou over me.
Psa 60:9 Who will bring me into the city fortified? Who will lead me into Edom?
Psa 60:10 Wilt not thou, O God! who hadst cast us off? [thou] O God! [who] didst not go forth with our armies?
Psa 60:11 Grant us relief from trouble, For vain is the help of man.
Psa 60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: And he it is who shall tread down our adversaries.
Psa 61:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician upon Neginoth. A Psalm of David> Hear, O God! my cry, Attend to my prayer.
Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth to thee will I cry, when vexed is my heart: To the rock which is higher than I thou shalt lead me.
Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a hope to me, A tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
Psa 61:4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will be safe under the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Psa 61:5 ¶ For thou, O God! hast heard my vows: Thou hast given an inheritance to those who fear thy name.

Psa 61:8 So will I sing unto thy name for ever, That I may perform my vows every day.
Psa 62:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician upon Jeduthun. A Psalm of David> Nevertheless towards God silent is my soul: From him is my salvation.
Psa 62:2 Nevertheless he is my reek and my salvation, My fortress: therefore I shall not be moved greatly.
Psa 62:3 How long will ye continue to lay snares against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you: As an inclining wall shall ye be, and a fence that is shaken.
Psa 62:4 Yet from his elevation they consult to east him down: They delight in falsehood: With their mouth they bless, And in their hearts they curse. Selah.
Psa 62:5 Nevertheless towards God be thou silent O my soul: For from him is my expectation.
Psa 62:6 Nevertheless he only is my rock, and my salvation: My fortress; I shall not fall.

Psa 62:8 ¶ Hope in him at all times, O ye people! Pour out before his face your hearts: God is our hope. Selah.
Psa 62:9 Nevertheless vanity are the sons of Adam; A lie the sons of men: When put all together in a balance they are found lighter than vanity itself. {The free translation of the French version is here adopted. The literal rendering of the Hebrew text is, "In the scales in going up they [are lighter] than vanity together." To this Calvin strictly adheres in his Latin version.}
Psa 62:10 Trust not in oppression and robbery; be not vain: [Upon] riches if they abound set not your heart.
Psa 62:11 Once God hath spoken; Twice this I have heard, "That power belongeth to God;"
Psa 62:12 And to thee, O Lord! belongeth mercy; Truly thou wilt render to every man according to his work.
Psa 63:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judea> O God! my God art thou; Early will I seek thee: Thirsted for thee hath my soul, Longed for thee hath my flesh, In this land [that is] inhospitable and dry, without water.
Psa 63:2 Thus in the sanctuary have I beheld thee, To see thy power and thy glory.
Psa 63:3 ¶ Because better is thy mercy than life, My lips shall praise thee.
Psa 63:4 Thus will I bless thee in my life; In thy name I will lift up my hands.
Psa 63:5 As with marrow and farness satisfied shall be my soul, And with lips of rejoicing shall my mouth praise thee.
Psa 63:6 Surely I will remember thee upon my bed; In the watches of the night I will meditate upon thee;
Psa 63:7 ¶ Because thou hast been a help to me: And in the shadow of thy wings I will shout for joy.
Psa 63:8 Cleaved hath my soul to [literally after] thee; Sustain me shall thy right hand.

Psa 64:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David> Hear, O God! my voice in my prayer: From fear of the enemy preserve my life.
Psa 64:2 Hide me from the counsel of malignant men––From the assembly of tire workers of iniquity.
Psa 64:3 For they have sharpened as a sword their tongue; They have directed for their arrow a bitter word.
Psa 64:4 To shoot in secret at the innocent man: Suddenly they will shoot and not fear.
Psa 64:5 They encourage themselves in an impious action; They talk together of secretly laying snares; They say, "Who shall see them?"
Psa 64:6 They have searched out iniquities, They have accomplished a searching search: And the inward part of each of them and the heart [is] deep.
Psa 64:7 ¶ But God shall shoot at them an arrow; Suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psa 64:8 And they shall make their own tongue fall upon themselves, And flee away shall all who see them.
Psa 64:9 And see shall all men, and shall declare the work of God, And his doing they shall understand.
Psa 64:10 Rejoice shall the righteous in Jehovah, and they shall hope in him; And glory shall all the upright in heart.
Psa 65:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song> For thee waiteth praise, O God! in Zion; And to thee performed shall be the vow.
Psa 65:2 O thou who hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come.
Psa 65:3 Words of iniquity {Literally, "iniquities."} have prevailed against me: Our crimes thou shalt expiate.
Psa 65:4 Blessed is he whom thou wilt choose, and cause to approach to thee; He shall dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house––Of the sanctuary of thy palace.
Psa 65:5 Terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation! The hope of all the ends of the earth, And of the far off places of the sea.
Psa 65:6 ¶ Establishing the mountains by his power, {In the French version it is "by the power."} Being girded with might.
Psa 65:7 Stilling the noise of the seas, And the noise of their waves, the tumults of the nations.
Psa 65:8 And afraid shall be the dwellers in the ends of the earth at thy signs; The outgoings of the morning and evening thou shalt make to shout for joy.
Psa 65:9 Thou hast visited the earth, and watered her; Thou hast abundantly enriched her: The river of God is full of waters: Thou wilt prepare their corn, For so thou hast prepared her.
Psa 65:10 Her furrows thou dost saturate, Thou makest the rain to fall into her ridges, With showers thou dost moisten her, Her buddings thou dost bless.
Psa 65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy beneficence, And thy paths will drop fatness.
Psa 65:12 They drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness; And with gladness the hills shall be girded.
Psa 65:13 Clothed are the pastures with flocks; And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout for joy, they also sing.
Psa 66:1 ¶ <To the Chief Justice. A Song of a Psalm> Shout joyfully to God all the earth,
Psa 66:2 Sing the glory of his name, Make glorious his praise.
Psa 66:3 Say unto God: "How terrible art thou in thy works! "Through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies feign submission unto thee.
Psa 66:4 "All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee, "They shall hymn thy name." Selah.
Psa 66:5 Come ye, and see the works of God: He is terrible in his doing towards the sons of men.
Psa 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land; Through the river {That is, the Jordan. See #Jos 4:23} they passed on foot; There we were glad in him.
Psa 66:7 He ruleth by his might over the world; {"Dominatur seculo." ––Lat. "Il domine sur le monde." ––Fr.} His eyes upon the nations are fixed: The rebels shall not exalt themselves. Selah.
Psa 66:8 ¶ Bless, O ye people! our God, And resound the voice of his praise.
Psa 66:9 Who hath brought our souls into life, And hath not suffered our feet to fall.
Psa 66:10 For thou hast proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried:
Psa 66:11 Thou hast brought us into the net Thou hast laid restraint upon our loins;
Psa 66:12 Thou hast made man to ride over our heads; We have come into fire and water; And thou hast brought us into a place of abundance.
Psa 66:13 ¶ I will come into thy house with burnt–offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
Psa 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken in my affliction.
Psa 66:15 Burnt–offerings of fat lambs I will offer to thee with incense of rams; I will bring bullocks with goats. Selah.
Psa 66:16 Come, hear, and I will tell all you who fear God, What he hath done for my soul.
Psa 66:17 To him with my mouth I cried, And I have exalted him with my tongue.
Psa 66:18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear me.
Psa 66:19 But truly heard me hath God; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
