David

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, blesshis holy name.

My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.

Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

For thy servant David’s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and knownme.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, Andmy fingers to fight:

Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

I will extol thee, my God, O King; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
