Psalm 119
King James Version
119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put me not to shame.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself.
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law.
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
137 Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.
146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy judgments.

159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness.
160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166 Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
169 Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word.
170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
卷一：诗篇1—41
有福之人
1 1-2 不从恶人的计谋，
不与罪人为伍，
不和轻慢上帝的人同流合污，
只喜爱耶和华的律法，
昼夜默诵，
这样的人有福了！
3 他就像溪水旁的树木——
按时结果子，
叶子也不凋零。
他必凡事亨通。
4 恶人的光景却截然不同！
他们就像被风吹散的糠秕。
5 恶人在审判之日必无法逃脱，
罪人在义人的聚会中必站不住脚。
6 因为耶和华看顾义人的脚步，
恶人的道路必通向灭亡。
上帝膏立的君王
2 列国为何咆哮？
万民为何枉费心机？
2 世上的君王一同行动，
官长聚集商议，
要抵挡耶和华和祂所膏立的王。
3 他们说：
“让我们挣断他们的锁链，
脱去他们的捆索！”
4 坐在天上宝座上的主必笑他们，
祂必嘲笑他们。
5 那时，祂必怒斥他们，
使他们充满恐惧。
6 祂说：
“在我的锡安圣山上，
我已立了我的君王。”
7 那位君王说：
“我要宣告耶和华的旨意，
祂对我说，‘你是我的儿子，
我今日成为你父亲。
8 你向我祈求，我必把列国赐给你作产业，
让天下都归你所有。
9 你要用铁杖统治他们，
把他们像陶器一般打碎。’”
10 君王啊，要慎思明辨！
世上的统治者啊，要接受劝诫！
11 要以敬畏的心事奉耶和华，
要喜乐也要战战兢兢。
12 要降服在祂儿子面前，
免得祂发怒，
你们便在罪恶中灭亡，
因为祂的怒气将临。
投靠祂的人有福了！
求助的早祷
大卫逃避儿子押沙龙时作的诗。
3 耶和华啊，我的敌人何其多！
反对我的人何其多！
2 他们都说上帝不会来救我。（细拉）[a]
3 可是，耶和华啊！
你是四面保护我的盾牌，
你赐我荣耀，使我昂首而立。
4 我向耶和华呼求，
祂就从祂的圣山上回应我。（细拉）
5 我躺下，我睡觉，我醒来，
都蒙耶和华看顾。
6 我虽被千万仇敌围困，
也不会惧怕。
7 耶和华啊，求你起来！
我的上帝啊，求你救我！
求你掴我一切仇敌的脸，
打碎恶人的牙齿。
8 耶和华啊，你是拯救者，
愿你赐福你的子民！（细拉）
求助的晚祷

4 称我为义人的上帝啊！
我呼求的时候，求你回答。
你曾救我脱离困境，
现在求你怜悯我，
垂听我的祷告。
2 世人啊！你们把我的荣耀变为羞辱要到何时呢？
你们追求虚谎之事要到何时呢？（细拉）
3 要知道，耶和华已经把敬虔人分别出来，使之圣洁，归祂自己。
祂必垂听我的祈求。
4 不要因生气而犯罪；
躺在床上的时候要默然思想。（细拉）
5 要献上当献的祭物，
信靠耶和华。
6 许多人说：“谁会善待我们呢？”
耶和华啊，
求你的圣容光照我们。

8 只有你耶和华使我安然居住，
我必高枕无忧。
求上帝保护

因为我只向你祈祷。
3 耶和华啊！早晨你听我的祷告。
早晨我到你面前祈求，
切切等候。
4 你是厌恶邪恶的上帝，
恶人在你面前无立足之地。
5 狂妄之人不能站在你面前，
你憎恶一切作恶之人。
6 说谎的，你毁灭；
凶残诡诈的，你痛恨。
7 因为你有无限的慈爱，
我要进入你的居所，
我要满怀敬畏地向你的圣殿下拜。
8 耶和华啊，我的仇敌众多，
求你以公义引领我，
使我走你安排的正路。
9 他们口中毫无实话，
心里充满恶毒，
喉咙是敞开的坟墓，
舌头上尽是诡诈。
10 上帝啊，
求你定他们的罪，
让他们作茧自缚。
他们背叛你，罪恶深重，
求你把他们赶走。
11 愿投靠你的人欢歌不断。
求你庇护他们，
让爱你的人因你而喜乐。
12 耶和华啊，你必赐福给义人，
你的恩惠像盾牌四面保护他们。
患难中祈求怜悯

求你不要在怒中责备我，
不要在烈怒中惩罚我。
2 耶和华啊，求你怜悯，
因为我软弱无力。
耶和华啊，求你医治，
因为我痛彻入骨。
3 我心中忧伤，
耶和华啊，
你要我忧伤到何时呢？
4 耶和华啊，求你回来救我，
因你的慈爱而拯救我。
5 因为死去的人不会记得你，
谁会在阴间赞美你呢？
6 我因哀叹心力交瘁，
夜夜哭泣，泪漂床榻，
湿透被褥。
7 我的眼睛因忧愁而模糊，
因敌人的攻击而昏花。
8 你们所有作恶的人，快走开！
因为耶和华已经听见我的哭声。
9 耶和华听见了我的恳求，
祂必答应我的祷告。
10 我所有的仇敌都必羞愧，
惊恐不已；
他们必忽然蒙羞，
掉头逃窜。
求上帝伸张正义
大卫向耶和华唱的诗，与便雅悯人古实有关。
7 我的上帝耶和华啊，我投靠你，
求你拯救我脱离追赶我的人。
2 别让他们像狮子般撕裂我，
无人搭救。
3 我的上帝耶和华啊，
倘若我犯了罪，
手上沾了不义；
4 倘若我恩将仇报，
无故抢夺仇敌，
5 就让仇敌追上我，
践踏我，使我声名扫地。（细拉）
6 耶和华啊，
求你发怒攻击我暴怒的仇敌。
我的上帝啊，
求你来伸张正义。
7 愿万民环绕你，
愿你从高天治理他们，
8 愿你审判万民！
至高的耶和华啊，
我是公义正直的，
求你为我主持公道。
9 鉴察人心肺腑的公义上帝啊，
求你铲除邪恶，扶持义人。
10 上帝是我的盾牌，
祂拯救心地正直的人。
11 上帝是公义的审判官，
天天向恶人发怒。
12 他们若不悔改，祂必磨刀霍霍，
弯弓搭箭，诛灭他们。
13 祂准备好了夺命的兵器，
火箭已在弦上。
14 恶人心怀恶念，
居心叵测，滋生虚谎。
15 他们挖了陷阱，却自陷其中。
16 他们的恶行临到自己头上，
他们的暴力落到自己脑壳上。
17 我要称谢耶和华的公义，
我要歌颂至高者耶和华的名。
上帝的荣耀与人的尊贵
大卫的诗，交给乐长，迦特乐器伴奏。
8 我们的主耶和华啊，
你的名在地上何其尊贵！
你的荣耀充满诸天。
2 你使孩童和婴儿的口发出颂赞，
好叫你的仇敌哑口无言。

你的名在地上何其尊貴！
你的榮耀充滿諸天。
2 你使孩童和嬰兒的口發出頌讚，
好叫你的仇敵啞口無言。
3 我觀看你指頭創造的穹蒼和你擺列的月亮星辰，
4 人算什麼，你竟顧念他！
世人算什麼，你竟眷顧他！
5 你叫他比天使低微一點，
賜他榮耀和尊貴作冠冕。
6 你派他管理你親手造的萬物，
使萬物降服在他腳下：
7 牛羊、田野的獸、
8 空中的鳥、海裡的魚及其他水族。
9 我們的主耶和華啊，
你的名在地上何其尊貴！
稱頌上帝的公義
大衛的詩，交給樂長，調用「慕拉辨」[b]。
9 耶和華啊，
我要全心全意地讚美你，
傳揚你一切奇妙的作為。
2 我要因你歡喜快樂，
至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名。
3 我的仇敵必在你面前敗退，
倒地身亡。
4 你坐在寶座上按公義審判，
你為我主持公道。
5 你斥責列國，消滅惡人，
永永遠遠抹去他們的名字。
6 仇敵永遠滅亡了，
你把他們的城池連根拔起，
無人再記得他們。

是他們患難之時的避風港。
10 耶和華啊，
凡認識你名的人都必信靠你，
因為你從來不丟棄尋求你的人。
11 要歌頌住在錫安的耶和華，
在列邦傳揚祂的作為。

不忘傾聽受苦者的呼求。
13 耶和華啊，
看看仇敵對我的迫害！
求你憐憫我，
救我離開死亡之門，
14 我好在錫安的城門口稱頌你，
因你的拯救而歡樂。
15 列邦挖了陷阱卻自陷其中，
設下網羅卻纏住自己的腳。
16 耶和華彰顯了自己的公義，
使惡人自食其果。（細拉）
17 惡人必下陰間，這是所有忘記上帝之人的結局。
18 貧乏人不會永遠被遺忘，
受苦人的希望也不會一直落空。
19 耶和華啊，求你起來，
別讓人向你誇勝，
願你審判列邦。
20 耶和華啊，
求你使列邦恐懼戰抖，
讓他們明白自己不過是人。（細拉）
求上帝懲治惡人
10 耶和華啊，你為何遠遠站著？
為何在我遭難時隱藏起來？
2 惡人狂妄地追逼窮苦人，
願他們落入自己所設的圈套。
3 惡人誇耀自己的貪慾，
貪婪的人憎恨、咒詛耶和華。
4 他們狂傲自大，心中沒有上帝，
從不尋求耶和華。
5 他們凡事順利，
對你的審判不屑一顧，
對所有的仇敵嗤之以鼻。
6 他們自以為可以屹立不倒，
世世代代永不遭殃。
7 他們滿口咒詛、謊話和恐嚇之言，
舌頭沾滿禍害和邪惡。
8 他們埋伏在村莊，
暗中監視受害者，殺害無辜。
9 他們像獅子埋伏在暗處，
獵取無助的人，
用網羅拖走他們。
10 不幸的人被擊垮，
倒在他們的暴力下。
11 他們自言自語：「上帝忘記了，
祂掩面不理這些事！」
12 耶和華啊，求你起來！
上帝啊，求你舉手施罰，
不要忘記無助的人！
13 惡人為何輕視上帝，
以為上帝不會追究呢？
14 但你已看到世人的疾苦，
隨時伸出援手。
困苦無助的人投靠你，
你是孤兒的幫助。
15 求你打斷惡人的臂膀，
徹底追究他們的罪惡。
16 耶和華永永遠遠是君王，
列邦必從祂的土地上滅亡。
17 耶和華啊，
你知道困苦人的願望，
你必垂聽他們的呼求，
安慰他們。
18 你為孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤，
使渺小的世人不能再恐嚇他們。
信靠上帝
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
11 我投靠耶和華，
你們怎能對我說：「要像飛鳥一樣逃到山裡。
2 看啊，惡人彎弓搭箭，
要暗射心地正直的人。
3 根基若遭毀壞，
義人還能做什麼？」
4 耶和華在祂的聖殿裡，
坐在天上的寶座上，
放眼巡視，察看世人。
5 耶和華察驗義人和惡人，
祂憎恨邪惡和殘暴之徒。
6 祂要把烈焰熊熊的火炭和硫磺降在惡人身上，
用炙熱的風懲罰他們。
7 因為耶和華是公義的，
祂喜愛公義。
正直的人必見祂的面。
祈求上帝幫助
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
12 耶和華啊，求你救我們！
因為世上的敬虔人不見了，
忠信的人在人間消失了。
2 人人謊話連篇，
花言巧語，口是心非。
3 願你剷除一切花言巧語和狂妄自誇的人。
4 他們說：「我們必靠舌頭制勝，
嘴唇是我們自己的，
誰管得著我們？」
5 耶和華說：「我要保護受欺壓的困苦人和哀歎的貧窮人，
使他們如願以償。」
6 耶和華的應許純全，
就像在爐中煉過七次的銀子。
7 耶和華啊，你必保護我們，
永遠不容惡人侵害我們。
8 眾人若抑善揚惡，
惡人必橫行無忌。
祈求上帝垂顧
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
13 耶和華啊，你忘記我要到何時呢？要到永遠嗎？
你轉臉不顧我要到何時呢？
2 我思緒煩亂，日夜憂傷要到何時呢？
我的仇敵佔盡上風要到何時呢？
3 我的上帝耶和華啊，
求你垂顧我，回答我，
使我眼睛明亮，
免得我在沉睡中死去，
4 免得我的仇敵說：「我們戰勝了他！」
免得他們因我敗落而歡喜。
5 我深信你的慈愛，
我的心要因你的拯救而歡欣。
6 耶和華一直恩待我，
我要向祂歌唱。
世人的邪惡
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
14 愚昧人心裡想：「沒有上帝。」
他們全然敗壞，行為邪惡，
無人行善。
2 耶和華從天上俯視人間，
看有沒有明智者，
有沒有尋求上帝的人。
3 人們都偏離正路，
一同墮落；
沒有人行善，
一個也沒有！
4 惡人吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯，
他們不求告耶和華。
難道他們無知嗎？
5 但他們終必充滿恐懼，
因為上帝站在義人當中。
6 你們惡人使困苦人的計劃落空，
但耶和華是他們的避難所。
7 願以色列的拯救來自錫安！
耶和華救回祂被擄的子民時，
雅各要歡欣，以色列要快樂。
安居聖山者的資格
大衛的詩。
15 耶和華啊，誰能住在你的聖所？
誰能安居在你的聖山？
2 就是品行純全，做事公正，
說話誠實的人。
3 他不說譭謗的話，
不惡待鄰人，不造謠生事。
4 他鄙視惡人，
尊重那些敬畏耶和華的人。
他起了誓，即使吃虧也不背誓。
5 他不放債取利，
也不受賄去坑害無辜。
這樣的人必永遠堅立不搖。
信靠之福
大衛的詩。
16 上帝啊！我投靠你，
求你保護我。
2 我對耶和華說：「你是我的主，
我美好的一切都從你而來。」
3 世上敬畏你的人極其尊貴，
是我所喜愛的。
4 追隨假神的人，其愁苦必有增無減。
我必不向他們的假神獻上血祭，
口中也不提假神的名號。
5 耶和華啊，你是我的一切，
你賜我一切福分，
你掌管我的一切。
6 你賜我佳美之地，
我的產業何其美！
7 我要稱頌賜我教誨的耶和華，
我的良心也在夜間提醒我。
8 我常以耶和華為念，
祂在我右邊，我必不動搖。
9 因此，我的心歡喜，
我的靈快樂，
我的身體也安然無恙。
10 你不會把我的靈魂撇在陰間，
也不會讓你的聖者身體朽壞。
11 你把生命之路指示我，
你右手有永遠的福樂，
我在你面前充滿喜樂。
無辜者的祈禱
大衛的祈禱。
17 耶和華啊，
求你聽我祈求公義的聲音，
側耳聽我的呼求，
垂聽我真誠的禱告。
2 願你宣判我無罪，
願你明察是非。
3 你試驗過我的心思，
夜間鑒察過我，磨煉過我，
找不出任何過犯；
我立志口不犯罪。
4 我遵守你的教導，潔身自守，
不與殘暴之徒同流。
5 我堅定地走你的道路，
從未偏離。
6 上帝啊！我向你祈禱，
因為你必應允我。
求你垂聽我的禱告。
7 求你彰顯你奇妙的慈愛，
用右手拯救投靠你的人脫離仇敵。
8 求你保護我，像保護眼中的瞳人，
用你的翅膀蔭庇我，
9 救我脫離惡人的攻擊，
脫離四圍殺氣騰騰的仇敵。
10 他們良心喪盡，口出狂言。
11 他們窮追圍堵，
伺機把我打倒在地。
12 他們像急於撕碎獵物的餓獅，
又像蹲伏在暗處的猛獅。
13 耶和華啊，
求你起來迎頭擊倒他們，
求你持刀救我脫離惡人。
14 耶和華啊，
求你伸手救我脫離這些人，
脫離這些只在今生有福分的世人。
你使他們財寶無數。
他們兒女眾多，
還把財富留給子孫。
15 但我因持守公義必見你的面；
我醒來見到你就心滿意足了。
大衛的勝利之歌
耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交給樂長。當時耶和華從眾仇敵和掃羅手中拯救了他，他向耶和華吟唱此詩。
18 耶和華啊，你是我的力量，
我愛你。
2 耶和華是我的磐石，我的堡壘，我的拯救者；
我的上帝是保護我的磐石，
我的盾牌，
是拯救我的力量，我的堡壘。
3 我求告當受頌讚的耶和華，
祂救我脫離仇敵。
4 死亡的鎖鏈曾纏住我，
罪惡的狂流曾淹沒我。
5 陰間的繩索曾捆綁我，
死亡的陷阱曾威脅我。
6 在苦難中我呼求耶和華，
向我的上帝求助。
祂從殿中垂聽我的呼求，
我的聲音達到祂耳中。
7 祂一發怒，大地震動，
山的根基搖晃。
8 祂的鼻孔冒煙，
口噴烈焰和火炭。
9 祂撥開雲天，腳踩密雲，
親自降臨。
10 祂乘著基路伯天使飛翔，
乘著風的翅膀疾馳。
11 祂藏身於黑暗中，
四圍以密雲作幔幕。
12 從祂面前的榮光中，
冰雹和火炭衝破雲層。
13 耶和華在天上打雷，
至高者發出的聲音響徹在冰雹和火炭中。
14 祂射出利箭驅散仇敵，
發出閃電擊潰他們。
15 耶和華啊，你斥責一聲，
鼻孔一吹氣，海底就顯現，
大地也露出根基。
16 祂從高天伸手抓住我，
從深淵中把我拉上來。
17 祂救我脫離強敵，
脫離我無法戰勝的仇敵。
18 他們在我危難之時攻擊我，
但耶和華扶持我。
19 祂拯救我，領我到寬闊之地，
因為祂喜悅我。
20 耶和華因我公義而善待我，
因我清白而賞賜我，
21 因為我堅守祂的道，
沒有作惡背棄我的上帝。
22 我遵守祂的一切法令，
沒有把祂的律例棄置一旁。
23 我在祂面前純全無過，
沒有沾染罪惡。
24 耶和華因我公義、
在祂面前清白而獎賞我。
25 仁慈的人，你以仁慈待他；
純全的人，你以純全待他；
26 純潔的人，你以純潔待他；
心術不正的人，你以計謀待他。
27 你搭救謙卑的人，
貶抑眼目高傲的人。
28 我的上帝耶和華啊，
你是我的明燈，
你使我的黑暗變為光明。
29 我倚靠你的力量迎戰敵軍，
靠著我的上帝躍過牆垣。
30 上帝的道完美，
耶和華的話純全，
祂是投靠祂之人的盾牌。
31 除了耶和華以外，誰是上帝呢？
除了我們的上帝，誰是磐石呢？
32 是上帝賜我力量，
使我行為純全。
33 祂使我的腳如母鹿的蹄，
穩踏在高處。
34 祂訓練我，
使我的手能爭戰、
我的臂膀能拉開銅弓。
35 耶和華啊，你是拯救我的盾牌，
你的右手扶持我，
你的垂顧使我強大。
36 你使我腳下的道路寬闊，
不致滑倒。
37 我追趕仇敵直到追上，
不消滅他們決不回頭。
38 我打垮他們，
使他們倒在我的腳下，
再也站不起來。
39 你賜我征戰的能力，
使我的仇敵降服在我腳下。
40 你使我的仇敵狼狽而逃，
我殲滅了恨我的人。
41 他們高聲求救，卻無人搭救；
他們呼求耶和華，祂也不應允。
42 我把他們打得粉碎，
如同風中的灰塵；
我把他們倒掉，
如同街上的泥土。
43 你救我脫離我百姓的攻擊，
立我做列國的元首。
素不認識的民族也歸順我。
44 他們望風而降，
外族人對我俯首稱臣。
45 外族人聞風喪膽，
戰戰兢兢地走出他們的城池。
46 耶和華永遠活著，
保護我的磐石當受頌讚，
拯救我的上帝當受尊崇。
47 祂是為我伸冤的上帝，
祂使列邦臣服於我。
48 祂救我脫離仇敵，
使我勝過強敵，
拯救我脫離殘暴之徒。
49 因此，耶和華啊，
我要在列邦中讚美你，
歌頌你的名。
50 你使你立的王大獲全勝，
向你膏立的大衛及其後代廣施慈愛，直到永遠。
上帝的作為和律法
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
19 諸天述說上帝的榮耀，
穹蒼傳揚祂的作為。
2 它們日復一日地訴說，
夜復一夜地宣揚，
3 無言無語，無聲無息。
4 它們的聲音傳遍天下，
它們的話語傳到地極。
上帝在天上為太陽設立居所。
5 太陽出來時，如步出洞房的新郎，
又如歡然奔跑賽程的健兒。
6 它滑過長空，
從天這邊繞到天那邊，
熱量廣及萬物。
7 耶和華的律法完美，
能更新生命；
耶和華的法度可靠，
讓愚人有智慧。
8 耶和華的法則公正，
使人充滿喜樂；
耶和華的命令純全，
讓人眼目明亮。
9 要以純潔的心敬畏耶和華，
直到永遠；
耶和華的法令可靠，
全然公義。
10 這些比純金還寶貴，
比蜂房的蜜更甘甜。
11 你僕人從中受到警戒，
遵守的人必得大賞賜。
12 誰能知道自己的過失呢？
求你赦免我心中隱藏的過錯。
13 求你攔阻我，
別讓我明知故犯，
別讓罪惡轄制我。
這樣，我才純全正直，
免犯大過。
14 耶和華——我的磐石、我的救贖主啊，
願你喜悅我口中的言語、心中的意念。
祈求勝利
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
20 願耶和華應允你患難時的呼求。
願雅各的上帝保護你。
2 願祂從聖所幫助你，
從錫安山扶持你。
3 願祂喜悅你獻的祭物，
悅納你的燔祭。（細拉）
4 願祂使你心願得償、
計劃實現。
5 我們要因你得勝而高聲歡唱，
高舉耶和華的旌旗。
願耶和華答應你一切的祈求。
6 現在我知道耶和華拯救祂膏立的王，
祂從聖天之上應允他，
用右手的大能拯救他。
7 有人靠戰車，有人靠戰馬，
但我們靠的是我們的上帝耶和華的名。
8 他們都一敗塗地，
我們卻屹立不倒。
9 耶和華啊，求你拯救你立的王。
我們呼求的時候，
求你垂聽。
頌讚勝利
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
21 耶和華啊，
君王因你的能力而歡欣，
因你的拯救而雀躍。
2 你滿足了他的心願，
未曾拒絕他的請求。（細拉）
3 你賜給他豐盛的祝福，
給他戴上純金的冠冕。
4 他向你祈求長壽，
你就賜給他永生。
5 你的救助帶給他無限榮耀，
你賜給他尊榮和威嚴。
6 你給他的祝福永無窮盡，
你的同在使他充滿喜樂。
7 君王信靠耶和華，
靠著至高者的慈愛必不動搖。
8 耶和華啊，
你的手必尋索你的敵人，
你用右手搜出所有恨你的人。
9 你一出現，
他們便像身在火爐中，
你在烈怒中吞滅他們，
你的烈火燒滅他們。
10 你必從世上剷除他們的子孫，
從人間滅絕他們的後裔。
11 他們雖然用陰謀詭計對抗你，
卻不能成功。
12 你必彎弓搭箭瞄準他們，
使他們掉頭逃跑。
13 耶和華啊，願你彰顯大能，受人尊崇！
我們要歌頌、讚美你的權能。
苦難中的呼求和感恩
大衛的詩，交給樂長，調用「朝鹿」。
22 我的上帝，我的上帝，
你為何離棄我？
為何遲遲不來救我，
不聽我的哀號呢？
2 我的上帝啊，
我日夜不停地呼求，
你卻沒有回應。
3 然而，你是聖潔的，
你的寶座設立在以色列人的頌讚之上。
4 我們的祖先信靠你，
他們信靠你，
你就拯救他們。
5 他們向你呼求，
就得到拯救；
他們信靠你，
就不會失望。
6 但我好像不是人，只是一條蟲，
受盡人的羞辱和藐視。
7 看見我的人都譏笑我，
他們撇著嘴、搖著頭說：
8 「他信靠耶和華，
讓耶和華救他吧！
既然耶和華喜悅他，
讓耶和華拯救他吧！」
9 耶和華啊，
是你使我從母腹中安然出生，
讓我在母親懷裡便倚靠你。
10 我一出生就被交托在你手中，
你從我出母胎就是我的上帝。
11 求你不要遠離我，
因為危難當頭，無人幫我。
12 我被許多仇敵圍困，
他們像巴珊的公牛那樣強壯。
13 他們張口要吞噬我，
如同吼叫著撕食獵物的獅子。
14 我的力量如水消逝，
我的骨頭都脫了節，
我的心如蠟熔化。
15 我的力量枯竭如焦土，
我的舌頭髮乾緊貼上顎。
你把我放在死亡的塵土中。
16 惡人包圍我，猶如一群惡犬，
他們刺傷我的手腳。
17 我身上的骨頭歷歷可見，
人們都幸災樂禍地看著我。
18 他們分我的外衣，
又為我的內衣抽籤。
19 耶和華啊，求你不要遠離我。
你是我的力量，
求你快來幫助我。
20 求你救我逃脫刀劍之災，
從這些惡犬的利爪下拯救我的生命。
21 求你救我脫離獅子的口，
使我脫離野牛的角。
22 我要向眾弟兄傳揚你的名，
在會眾當中讚美你。
23 敬畏耶和華的人啊，
你們都要讚美祂，
雅各的後裔都要尊崇祂的名，
以色列的後裔都要敬畏祂。
24 因為祂沒有藐視、厭惡苦難中的人，
也沒有掩面不顧他們，
而是垂聽他們的呼求。
25 我要在大會中讚美你，
在敬畏你的人面前履行我的誓言。
26 窮苦人必得飽足，
尋求耶和華的人必讚美祂，
他們的心要永遠歡欣跳躍。
27 普世都要心繫耶和華，歸向祂，
各國人民都要敬拜祂。
28 因為耶和華是主宰，
祂統治列國。
29 世上的富貴人要敬拜祂，
必歸塵土的世人都要敬拜祂。
30 世世代代的人都要事奉祂，
傳揚主所行的奇事。
31 他們也要向未來的世代傳講祂的公義作為。
耶和華是我的牧者
大衛的詩。
23 耶和華是我的牧者，
我必一無所缺。
2 祂讓我安歇在青草地上，
領我到幽靜的溪水旁。
3 祂使我的心靈甦醒，
為了自己的名引導我走正路。
4 我縱使走過死亡的幽谷，
也不怕遭害，
因為你與我同在，
你的杖和竿帶給我安慰。
5 在我敵人面前你為我擺設宴席，
又用膏油澆我的頭，
使我恩福滿溢。
6 你的恩惠和慈愛必伴隨我一生，
我要永遠住在你的殿中。
榮耀的君王
大衛的詩。
24 大地和其中的萬物都屬於耶和華，
世上的一切都是祂的。
2 祂把大地奠基於海中，
建立在大水之上。
3 誰能登耶和華的山？
誰能站在祂的聖所中？
4 只有那些手潔心清，
不拜假神，不起假誓的人。
5 他們必蒙耶和華賜福，
被救他們的上帝稱為義人。
6 這就是尋求耶和華的人，
他們敬拜雅各的上帝。（細拉）
7 眾城門啊，打開吧！
古老的城門啊，敞開吧！
讓榮耀的君王進來。
8 誰是榮耀的君王呢？是耶和華，
祂強大無比、戰無不勝。
9 眾城門啊，打開吧！
古老的城門啊，敞開吧！
讓榮耀的君王進來。
10 誰是榮耀的君王呢？
萬軍之耶和華是榮耀的君王。（細拉）
祈求引導和赦免
大衛的詩。
25 耶和華啊，我的心仰望你。
2 我的上帝啊，我信靠你，
求你不要叫我蒙羞，
不要讓我的仇敵勝過我。
3 信靠你的必不羞愧，
背信棄義者必蒙羞。
4 耶和華啊，
求你指引我走你的路，
教導我行你的道。
5 求你以你的真理引領我，
教導我，因為你是拯救我的上帝，
我日夜仰望你。
6 耶和華啊，
求你顧念你亙古以來常施的憐憫和慈愛，
7 求你饒恕我年輕時的罪惡和過犯，
以你的恩惠和慈愛待我。
8 耶和華良善公正，
祂教導罪人走正路，
9 指引謙卑人追求公義，
教導他們行祂的道。
10 遵守祂的約和法度的人，
耶和華以慈愛和信實相待。
11 耶和華啊，我罪惡深重，
求你為了自己的名而赦免我。
12 凡敬畏耶和華的人，
耶和華必指示他當走的路。
13 他必享福，
他的後代必承受土地。
Psalm 1-25
King James Version
Psalm 1-25
King James Version
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
4 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
6 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
7 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
10 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
11 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
13 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
15 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
16 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
18 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
24 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
Psalm 1-8
New International Version
Psalm 1-8
New International Version
BOOK I
Psalms 1–41
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one(A)
who does not walk(B) in step with the wicked(C)
or stand in the way(D) that sinners take(E)
or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
2 but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)
and who meditates(J) on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree(K) planted by streams(L) of water,(M)
which yields its fruit(N) in season
and whose leaf(O) does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.(P)
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff(Q)
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand(R) in the judgment,(S)
nor sinners in the assembly(T) of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over(U) the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.(V)
Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot(W) in vain?
2 The kings(X) of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed,(Y) saying,
3 “Let us break their chains(Z)
and throw off their shackles.”(AA)
4 The One enthroned(AB) in heaven laughs;(AC)
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger(AD)
and terrifies them in his wrath,(AE) saying,
6 “I have installed my king(AF)
on Zion,(AG) my holy mountain.(AH)”
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;(AI)
today I have become your father.(AJ)
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations(AK) your inheritance,(AL)
the ends of the earth(AM) your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];(AN)
you will dash them to pieces(AO) like pottery.(AP)”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(AQ)
be warned, you rulers(AR) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(AS)
and celebrate his rule(AT) with trembling.(AU)
12 Kiss his son,(AV) or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(AW) can flare up in a moment.
Blessed(AX) are all who take refuge(AY) in him.
Psalm 3[c]
A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.(AZ)
1 Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.(BA)”[d]
3 But you, Lord, are a shield(BB) around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.(BC)
4 I call out to the Lord,(BD)
and he answers me from his holy mountain.(BE)
5 I lie down and sleep;(BF)
I wake again,(BG) because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear(BH) though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.(BI)
7 Arise,(BJ) Lord!
Deliver me,(BK) my God!
Strike(BL) all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth(BM) of the wicked.
Psalm 4[e]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1 Answer me(BP) when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(BQ)
have mercy(BR) on me and hear my prayer.(BS)
2 How long will you people turn my glory(BT) into shame?(BU)
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[f]?[g](BV)
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(BW) for himself;
the Lord hears(BX) when I call to him.
4 Tremble and[h] do not sin;(BY)
when you are on your beds,(BZ)
search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the Lord.(CA)
6 Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.(CB)
7 Fill my heart(CC) with joy(CD)
when their grain and new wine(CE) abound.
Psalm 5[i]
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1 Listen(CI) to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.(CJ)
2 Hear my cry for help,(CK)
my King and my God,(CL)
for to you I pray.
3 In the morning,(CM) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.(CN)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people(CO) are not welcome.
5 The arrogant(CP) cannot stand(CQ)
in your presence.
You hate(CR) all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who tell lies.(CS)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
7 But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence(CT) I bow down(CU)
toward your holy temple.(CV)
8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(CW)
because of my enemies—
make your way straight(CX) before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(CY)
with their tongues they tell lies.(CZ)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(DA)
for they have rebelled(DB) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.(DC)
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name(DD) may rejoice in you.(DE)
12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;(DF)
you surround them(DG) with your favor as with a shield.(DH)
Psalm 6[j]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.[k] A psalm of David.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger(DI)
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me,(DJ) Lord, for I am faint;(DK)
heal me,(DL) Lord, for my bones are in agony.(DM)
3 My soul is in deep anguish.(DN)
How long,(DO) Lord, how long?
4 Turn,(DP) Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.(DQ)
5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?(DR)
All night long I flood my bed with weeping(DU)
and drench my couch with tears.(DV)
7 My eyes grow weak(DW) with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me,(DX) all you who do evil,(DY)
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;(DZ)
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;(EA)
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.(EB)
Psalm 7[l]
A shiggaion[m](EC) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
1 Lord my God, I take refuge(ED) in you;
save and deliver me(EE) from all who pursue me,(EF)
2 or they will tear me apart like a lion(EG)
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue(EH) me.
3 Lord my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands(EI)—
4 if I have repaid my ally with evil
or without cause(EJ) have robbed my foe—
5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake(EK) me;
let him trample my life to the ground(EL)
and make me sleep in the dust.[n](EM)
6 Arise,(EN) Lord, in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.(EO)
Awake,(EP) my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
while you sit enthroned over them on high.(EQ)
8 Let the Lord judge(ER) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,(ES)
according to my integrity,(ET) O Most High.(EU)
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure—(EV)
you, the righteous God(EW)
who probes minds and hearts.(EX)
10 My shield[o](EY) is God Most High,
who saves the upright in heart.(EZ)
11 God is a righteous judge,(FA)
a God who displays his wrath(FB) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(FC)
he[p] will sharpen his sword;(FD)
he will bend and string his bow.(FE)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows.(FF)
14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth(FG) to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit(FH) they have made.(FI)
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads.
17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;(FJ)
I will sing the praises(FK) of the name of the Lord Most High.(FL)
Psalm 8[q]
For the director of music. According to gittith.[r] A psalm of David.

how majestic is your name(FM) in all the earth!
