1311 O Lord , my heart is not proud , nor my eyes haughty ; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me. 2 Surely e I have composed and quieted my soul ; Like a weaned child rests against his mother , My soul is like a weaned child within me. 3 O Israel , hope in the Lord From this time forth and forever e .
1381 I will give You thanks with all my heart ; I will sing praises to You before the gods . 2 I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth ; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name . 3 On the day I called , You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul . 4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Lord , When they have heard the words of Your mouth . 5 And they will sing of the ways of the Lord , For great is the glory of the Lord .
6 For though the Lord is exalted , Yet He regards the lowly , But the haughty He knows from afar . 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble , You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies , And Your right hand will save me. 8 The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness , O Lord , is everlasting ; Do not forsake the works of Your hands .
1391 O Lord , You have searched me and known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar . 3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down , And are intimately acquainted with all my ways . 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue , Behold , O Lord , You know it all . 5 You have enclosed me behind and before , And laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high , I cannot e attain to it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit ? Or where can I flee from Your presence ? 8 If I ascend to heaven , You are there ; If I make my bed in Sheol , behold , You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the dawn , If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea , 10 Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. 11 If I say , "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night ," 12 Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day . Darkness and light are alike to You. 13 For You formed my inward parts ; You wove me in my mother's womb . 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works , And my soul knows it very well . 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret , And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth ; 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance ; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God ! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand . When I awake , I am still with You. 19 O that You would slay the wicked , O God ; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed . 20 For they speak against You wickedly , And Your enemies take Your name in vain . 21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord ? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with the utmost hatred ; They have become my enemies . 23 Search me, O God , and know my heart ; Try me and know my anxious thoughts ; 24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way .
1431 Hear my prayer , O Lord , Give ear to my supplications ! Answer me in Your faithfulness , in Your righteousness ! 2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant , For in Your sight no man living is righteous . 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul ; He has crushed my life to the ground ; He has made me dwell in dark places , like those who have long been dead . 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me. 5 I remember the days of old ; I meditate on all Your doings ; I muse on the work of Your hands . 6 I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land . Selah .
7 Answer me quickly , O Lord , my spirit fails ; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit . 8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning ; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk ; For to You I lift up my soul . 9 Deliver me, O Lord , from my enemies ; I take refuge in You. 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God ; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground . 11 For the sake of Your name , O Lord , revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble . 12 And in Your lovingkindness , cut off my enemies And destroy all those who afflict my soul , For I am Your servant .
1441 Blessed be the Lord , my rock , Who trains my hands for war , And my fingers for battle ; 2 My lovingkindness and my fortress , My stronghold and my deliverer , My shield and He in whom I take refuge , Who subdues my people under me. 3 O Lord , what is man , that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man , that You think of him? 4 Man is like a mere breath ; His days are like a passing shadow . 5 Bow Your heavens , O Lord , and come down ; Touch the mountains , that they may smoke . 6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. 7 Stretch forth Your hand from on high ; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters , Out of the hand of aliens e 8 Whose mouths speak deceit , And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood .
9 I will sing a new song to You, O God ; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10 Who gives salvation to kings , Who rescues David His servant from the evil sword . 11 Rescue me and deliver me out of the hand of aliens e , Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood . 12 Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants , And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace ; 13 Let our garners be full , furnishing every kind of produce, And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields ; 14 Let our cattle bear Without mishap and without loss , Let there be no outcry in our streets ! 15 How blessed are the people who are so situated; How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord !
1451 I will extol You, my God , O King , And I will bless Your name forever and ever . 2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever . 3 Great is the Lord , and highly to be praised , And His greatness is unsearchable e . 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another , And shall declare Your mighty acts . 5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works , I will meditate . 6 Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts , And I will tell of Your greatness . 7 They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness . 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful ; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness . 9 The Lord is good to all , And His mercies are over all His works .
10 All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord , And Your godly ones shall bless You. 11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power ; 12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom . 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom , And Your dominion endures throughout all generations . 14 The Lord sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down . 15 The eyes of all look to You, And You give them their food in due time . 16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing . 17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds . 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth . 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. 20 The Lord keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy . 21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord , And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever .
