God

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!

By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

One thing I asked of Jehovah--it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies--my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

Hear, O Jehovah, my voice--I call, And favour me, and answer me.

To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

Look unto Jehovah--be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

Jehovah is strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed is He.

Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
