God

Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.

To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? --for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!

To the Overseer. --By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one--seeking God.

Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

There they have feared a fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

`Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back To a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

Despised in his eyes is a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou art ;' My good is not for thine own sake;

For the holy ones who are in the land, And the honourable, all my delight is in them.

Jehovah is the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou--Thou dost uphold my lot.

I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also in the nights my reins instruct me.

I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because--at my right hand I am not moved.

For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear to my prayer, without lips of deceit.

From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
