To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.

To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
