David

Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou sofar from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
