⁴ Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH,
and rejoice before him.
⁵ A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation.
⁶ God setteth the solitary in families:
he bringeth out those which are bound with chains:
but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

⁷ O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,
when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
⁸ the earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God:
even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
⁹ Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain,
whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
¹⁰ Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:
thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord gave the word:
great was the company of those that published it.
¹² Kings of armies did flee apace:
and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
¹³ Though ye have lien among the pots,
yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver,
and her feathers with yellow gold.
¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
it was white as snow in Salmon.

¹⁵ The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan;
an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
¹⁶ Why leap ye, ye high hills?
this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in;
yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
¹⁷ The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels:
the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men;
yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

¹⁹ Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation. Selah.
²⁰ He that is our God is the God of salvation;
and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
²¹ But God shall wound the head of his enemies,
and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

²² The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan,
I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
²³ that thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies,
and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

²⁴ They have seen thy goings, O God;
even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
²⁵ The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
²⁶ Bless ye God in the congregations,
even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
²⁷ There is little Benjamin with their ruler,
the princes of Judah and their council,
the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
²⁸ Thy God hath commanded thy strength:
strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
²⁹ Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
³⁰ Rebuke the company of spearmen,
the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
till every one submit himself with pieces of silver:
scatter thou the people that delight in war.
³¹ Princes shall come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

³² Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth;
O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
³³ to him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old;
lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
³⁴ Ascribe ye strength unto God:
his excellency is over Israel,
and his strength is in the clouds.

³⁵ O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places:
the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people.
Blessed be God.

⁵ O God, thou knowest my foolishness;
and my sins are not hid from thee.
⁶ Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake:
let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;
shame hath covered my face.
⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren,
and an alien unto my mother’s children.
⁹ For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;
and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
¹⁰ When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,
that was to my reproach.
¹¹ I made sackcloth also my garment;
and I became a proverb to them.
¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me;
and I was the song of the drunkards.

¹³ But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time:
O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,
in the truth of thy salvation.
¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:
let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
¹⁵ Let not the waterflood overflow me,
neither let the deep swallow me up,
and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
¹⁶ Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good:
turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
¹⁷ And hide not thy face from thy servant;
for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:
deliver me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹ Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
mine adversaries are all before thee.
²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:
and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
and for comforters, but I found none.
²¹ They gave me also gall for my meat;
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
²² Let their table become a snare before them:
and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
²³ Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not;
and make their loins continually to shake.
²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them,
and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate;
and let none dwell in their tents.
²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;
and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
²⁷ Add iniquity unto their iniquity:
and let them not come into thy righteousness.
²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
and not be written with the righteous.

²⁹ But I am poor and sorrowful:
let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song,
and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
³¹ This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
³² The humble shall see this, and be glad:
and your heart shall live that seek God.
³³ For the Lord heareth the poor,
and despiseth not his prisoners.

³⁴ Let the heaven and earth praise him,
the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
³⁵ For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:
that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
³⁶ The seed also of his servants shall inherit it:
and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

⁵ But I am poor and needy:
make haste unto me, O God:
thou art my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, make no tarrying.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither are there any works like unto thy works.
⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
and shall glorify thy name.
¹⁰ For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
thou art God alone.

¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name.
¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me:
and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against me,
and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul;
and have not set thee before them.
¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
¹⁶ O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
give thy strength unto thy servant,
and save the son of thine handmaid.
¹⁷ Shew me a token for good;
that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

⁶ Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
⁷ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
⁸ I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;
that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
