Psalm 8
Jubilee Bible 2000
To the Overcomer upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ O LORD our Lord, how great is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy praise above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou might 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 dost visit him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and beauty.
6 Thou hast made 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 birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how great is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 9
Jubilee Bible 2000
To the Overcomer upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of 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 because my enemies are turned back; they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast accomplished my judgment and my cause; thou didst sit in the throne judging according to righteousness.
5 Thou hast reprehended the Gentiles, 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 the cities that thou hast destroyed; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever; he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall judge the peoples in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge to the humble, a refuge for the time of trouble.
10 And those that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, O LORD, hast not forsaken those that seek thee.
11 ¶ Sing unto the LORD, he who dwells in Zion; declare among the people his doings.
12 When he makes requirement for blood, he remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 that I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy saving health.
15 The Gentiles are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid their own foot is taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he has executed; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditate on this for ever). Selah.
17 The wicked shall be put into Sheol, all the Gentiles that forget God.
18 For the humble shall not always be forgotten: the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20 Put fear into them, O LORD: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 9[a][b]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.
1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.(B)
2 I will be glad and rejoice(C) in you;
I will sing the praises(D) of your name,(E) O Most High.
3 My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right(F) and my cause,(G)
sitting enthroned(H) as the righteous judge.(I)
5 You have rebuked the nations(J) and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name(K) for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
you have uprooted their cities;(L)
even the memory of them(M) has perished.
7 The Lord reigns forever;(N)
he has established his throne(O) for judgment.
8 He rules the world in righteousness(P)
and judges the peoples with equity.(Q)
9 The Lord is a refuge(R) for the oppressed,(S)
a stronghold in times of trouble.(T)
10 Those who know your name(U) trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken(V) those who seek you.(W)
11 Sing the praises(X) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(Y)
proclaim among the nations(Z) what he has done.(AA)
12 For he who avenges blood(AB) remembers;
he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(AC)
13 Lord, see how my enemies(AD) persecute me!
Have mercy(AE) and lift me up from the gates of death,(AF)
14 that I may declare your praises(AG)
in the gates of Daughter Zion,(AH)
and there rejoice in your salvation.(AI)
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(AJ)
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(AK)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(AM)
all the nations that forget God.(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
the hope(AO) of the afflicted(AP) will never perish.

Psalm 11-15

Psalm 11-15
Jubilee Bible 2000
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ I put my trust in the LORD: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.
3 The foundations shall be destroyed. What has the righteous done?
4 ¶ The LORD is in the temple of his holiness, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous, but the wicked and he that loves violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, with winds of whirlwinds: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance beholds the upright.
To the Overcomer upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ Help, LORD; for the merciful man ceases, for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Each one speaks vanity with his neighbour: they speak with flattering lips and with a double heart.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue we will 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 I will arise, saith the LORD; I will set in safety the one whom the wicked one has ensnared.
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 press in on every side when the vilest men are exalted.
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ 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 my 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 has dealt bountifully with me.
To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is no one that does 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 no one that does good, no, not one.
4 ¶ The workers of iniquity certainly know this; those who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD.
5 There they were in great fear: for God is with the nation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor because the LORD is his hope.
7 Oh that the saving health of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turns back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in the mountain of thy holiness?
2 He that walks in integrity and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
3 He that does not backbite with his tongue nor does evil to his neighbour nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes the vile person is not esteemed; but he honours those that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt and does not change.
5 He that does not put out his money to usury nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 11
For the director of music. Of David.
1 In the Lord I take refuge.(A)
How then can you say to me:
“Flee(B) like a bird to your mountain.(C)
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;(D)
they set their arrows(E) against the strings
to shoot from the shadows(F)
at the upright in heart.(G)
3 When the foundations(H) are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;(I)
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(J)
He observes everyone on earth;(K)
his eyes examine(L) them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,(M)
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.(N)
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;(O)
a scorching wind(P) will be their lot.
Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(U)
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies(V) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.(W)
3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips(X)
and every boastful tongue—(Y)
4 those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;(Z)
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
5 “Because the poor are plundered(AA) and the needy groan,(AB)
I will now arise,(AC)” says the Lord.
“I will protect them(AD) from those who malign them.”
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless,(AE)
like silver purified(AF) in a crucible,(AG)
like gold[c] refined seven times.
7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe(AH)
and will protect us forever from the wicked,(AI)
8 who freely strut(AJ) about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.
Psalm 13[d]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 How long,(AK) Lord? Will you forget me(AL) forever?
How long will you hide your face(AM) from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(AN)
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?(AO)
3 Look on me(AP) and answer,(AQ) Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes,(AR) or I will sleep in death,(AS)
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,(AT)”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(AU)
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;(AV)
my heart rejoices in your salvation.(AW)
6 I will sing(AX) the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.
Psalm 14(AY)
For the director of music. Of David.
1 The fool[e] says in his heart,
“There is no God.”(AZ)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven(BA)
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(BB)
any who seek God.(BC)
3 All have turned away,(BD) all have become corrupt;(BE)
there is no one who does good,(BF)
not even one.(BG)
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?(BH)
They devour my people(BI) as though eating bread;
they never call on the Lord.(BJ)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge.(BK)
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(BL)
When the Lord restores(BM) his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Psalm 15
A psalm of David.
2 The one whose walk is blameless,(BQ)
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth(BR) from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,(BS)
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors(BT) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath(BU) even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;(BV)
who does not accept a bribe(BW) against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.(BX)
