1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O you
mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD
in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory
thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is
full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD breaks
the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like
a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes
the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers
the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his
glory.
10 The LORD sits upon the flood; yes, the LORD sits King for
ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless
his people with peace.
1 A Psalm and Song at the dedication of
the house of David. I will extol you, O LORD; for you have
lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, you hast brought up my soul from the grave: you have
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing to the LORD, O you saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is
life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the
morning.
6 ¶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain to stand strong: you hid your face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the
pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be you my helper.
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put
off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not
be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In
you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me
in your righteousness.
2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be my strong
rock, for an house of defense to save me.
3 For thou are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your
name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
you are my strength.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD
God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the
LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered
my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set
my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my
neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me
without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every
side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to
take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of
my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies’
sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let
the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 ¶ Oh how great is your goodness, which thou hast
laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for
them that trust in you before the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the
strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvelous
kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes:
nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried
unto you.
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD
preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.
1 A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is
he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not
iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time
when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they
shall not come nigh unto him.
7 You are my hiding place; thou shall preserve me from
trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall
go: I will guide you with my eye.
9 Be not as the horse, or as the mule, which have
no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts
in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for
joy, all you that are upright in heart.
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is
comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and
an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are
done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host
of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as an heap: he lays
up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast.
10 The LORD brings the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
makes the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and
the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their
works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man
is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he
deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our
shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior
before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will
bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be
in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof,
and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my
fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him
out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him,
and delivers them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is
the man that trusts in him.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to
them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many
days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut
off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers
them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.
