1 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. 9 I

2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 26 I

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 7 I

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 3 I

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord: 2 I

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 4 I

8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 37 I

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 2 I

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 6 I

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord. 2 I

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 18 I

2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 18 I

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 6 I

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 15 I

5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 9 I

6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 2 I

8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 20 I

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest. 4 I

10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 33 I

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. 2 I

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me. 6 I

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 2 I

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified. 16 I

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. 10 I

1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 10 I

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 16 I

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 8 I

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. 8 I

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 4 I

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations. 2 I

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 4 I

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. 4 I

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 16 I

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. 12 I

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 18 I

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 5 I

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 42 I

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. 14 I

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 2 I

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. 4 I

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. 8 I

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 I

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. 5 I
