Beginning
108 O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing and give abundant praise!
2 Awake, viol and harp! I will awake early.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the people! And I will sing to You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy is great above the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.
5 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heavens, and Your Glory upon all the Earth,
6 so that Your beloved may be delivered. Help with Your right hand and hear me.
7 God has spoken in His holiness, “I will rejoice. I shall divide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 “Gilead shall be Mine. Manasseh shall be Mine. Ephraim, also, shall be the strength of My head. Judah is My lawgiver.
9 “Moab shall be My washpot. I will cast out My shoe over Edom. I will triumph over Palestine.”
10 Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will bring me to Edom?
11 Will not You, O God, Who had forsaken us? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against trouble, for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He shall tread down our enemies. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
109 Do not hold Your tongue, O God of my praise.
2 For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of deceit, are opened upon me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 They also surrounded me, with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my friendship they were my adversaries; but I gave myself to prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
6 Set the wicked over him; and let the adversary stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Let his days be few and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg and seek bread, coming out of their places destroyed.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, and let the strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be no one to extend mercy to him, nor let there be any to show mercy upon his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be destroyed. In the generation following, let their name be put out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be held in remembrance by the LORD. And do not let the sin of his mother be wiped out.
15 Let them always be before the LORD, so that He may cut off their memorial from the Earth.
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy (but persecuted the afflicted and poor man, and the sorrowful-hearted, to kill him),
17 as he loved cursing, so shall it come to him. And as he did not love blessing, so shall it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like a garment, so shall it come into his core like water and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him as a garment to cover him, and for a girdle with which he shall always be girded.
20 Let this be the reward from the LORD to my adversary, and to those who speak evil against my soul.
21 But You, O LORD my God, deal with me according to Your Name. Deliver me (for Your mercy is good).
22 Because I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I depart like the shadow that declines and am shaken off as the grasshopper.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh has lost fatness.
25 I also became a rebuke to them. Those who looked upon me shook their heads.
26 Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to Your mercy.
27 And they shall know that this is Your hand and that You, LORD, have done it.
28 They curse. Yet You will bless. They shall arise and be confounded; but Your servant shall rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame; and let them cover themselves with their confusion, as with a cloak.
30 I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth and praise Him among the multitude.
31 For He will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who would condemn his soul. A Psalm of David
110 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your power out of Zion. Be ruler in the midst of Your enemies.
3 Your people shall come willingly at the time of assembling Your army in Holy beauty. The youth of Your womb shall be as the morning dew.
4 The LORD swore, and will not repent, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord at Your right hand shall wound kings on the day of His wrath.
6 He shall be judge among the heathen. He shall fill all with dead bodies and strike the leaders of great countries.
7 He shall drink from the brook on the way. Therefore, He shall lift up His head. Praise the LORD
111 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart in the assembly and the congregation of the Just.
2 The works of the LORD are great and are sought out by all those who love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious; and His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be held in remembrance. The LORD is merciful and full of compassion.
5 He has given a portion to those who fear Him. He will be ever-mindful of His Covenant.
6 He has shown the power of His works to His people, in giving to them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of His hands are truth and judgment. All His statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption to His people. He has commanded His Covenant forever. Holy and fearful is His Name.
10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. All those who observe them have good understanding. His praise endures forever. Praise the LORD
112 Blessed is the man who fears the LORD and delights greatly in His Commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon Earth. The generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Riches and treasures shall be in his house and his righteousness endures forever.
4 To the righteous arises light in darkness. He is merciful and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man is merciful and lends. He will measure his affairs by judgment.
6 Surely, he shall never be moved. The righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, believing in the LORD.
8 His heart is established. He will not fear, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has distributed, given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever. His horn shall be exalted with glory.
10 The wicked shall see it and be angry. He shall gnash with his teeth and melt away. The desire of the wicked shall perish. Praise the LORD
113 Praise, O you servants of the LORD! Praise the Name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the Name of the LORD from henceforth and forever!
3 The LORD’s Name is praised from the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, His Glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, Who has His dwelling on High;
6 Who abases Himself to behold things in the heavens and on the Earth?
7 He raises the needy out of the dust, lifts up the poor out of the dung,
8 so that He may set him with the princes, even with the princes of His people.
9 He makes the barren woman dwell with a family, a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the House of Jacob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah was His sanctification, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled. Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains leaped like rams, and the hills as lambs!
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, why were you turned back?
6 You mountains, why did you leap like rams, and you hills as lambs?
7 The Earth trembled at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the rock into standing water, and the flint into a fountain of water.
