God

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

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.

I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.

Only--the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!

A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee.

My prayer is prepared--incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands--the evening present.

Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.

But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, are mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.

An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice is unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice is unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.

I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.

When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

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

Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!

A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me--in Thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.

I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul is as a weary land for Thee. Selah.

Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit.

Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou art my God--Thy Spirit is good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,

And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I am Thy servant!

By David. Blessed is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
