God

O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. [Selah

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.

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

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.

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

I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

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

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soulthirstethafter thee, as a weary land. [Selah

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.

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

My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.
