To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David.

¹ ¶ Let the LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; let the name of the God of Jacob lift thee up

² and send thee help from the sanctuary and strengthen thee out of Zion

³ and remember all thy offerings and reduce thy burnt sacrifice to the ashes of burnt fat, Selah.

⁴ Grant thee according to thine heart and fulfil all thy counsel.

⁵ We will rejoice in thy saving health, and in the name of our God we will be standard-bearers: let the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

⁶ ¶ Now know I that the LORD has kept his anointed; he will hear him from the heavens of his holiness with the saving valour 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 The LORD saves the king; let him hear us on the day when we call.

² O LORD, I have heard thy word and was afraid; O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the times; in the midst of the times make it known; in wrath remember mercy.

³ ¶ God shall come from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was filled with his praise.

⁴ And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand; and there was hidden his strength.

⁵ Before his face went mortality, and burning coals went forth from his feet.

⁶ He stood and measured the earth; he beheld and drove out the Gentiles; and the ancient mountains crumbled, the ancient hills; the ways of the world bowed unto him.

⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan as nothing, and the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

⁸ Oh LORD, wast thou displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath even against the sea when thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of saving health?

⁹ Thy bow was entirely uncovered, and the oaths unto the tribes, eternal word, when thou didst divide the earth with rivers.

¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the waters passed by; the abyss uttered its voice; the deep lifted up its hands.

¹¹ The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

¹² Thou didst tread upon the land in wrath; thou didst thresh the Gentiles in anger.

¹³ Thou didst go forth to save thy people, to save with thine anointed; thou didst shatter the head of the house of the wicked by uncovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

¹⁴ Thou didst strike through with his staffs the heads of his villages, who as a whirlwind attempted to scatter me; their pride was as to devour the poor secretly.

¹⁵ Thou didst make a way through the sea for thine horses through the heap of great waters.

³¹ ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

³² For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully treated and spitted on;

³³ and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they did not know what was said.
