Rh :Surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.


 * Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth;
 * My flesh also dwelleth in safety;
 * For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world;
 * Neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.
 * Thou makest me to know the path of life;
 * In Thy presence is fulness of joy,
 * In Thy right hand bliss for evermore.

A Prayer of David.


 * Hear the right, O, attend unto my cry;
 * Give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
 * Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence;
 * Let Thine eyes behold equity.
 * Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night;
 * Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not
 * That I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
 * As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips
 * I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
 * My steps have held fast to Thy paths,
 * My feet have not slipped.


 * As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God;
 * Incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
 * Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand
 * From assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
 * Keep me as the apple of the eye,
 * Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
 * From the wicked that oppress,
 * My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
 * Their gross heart they have shut tight,
 * With their mouth they speak proudly.
 * At our every step they have now encompassed us;
 * They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
 * He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces,
 * And like a young lion lurking in secret places.


 * Arise, O, confront him, cast him down;
 * Deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
 * From men, by Thy hand, O ,
 * From men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
 * And whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure;
 * Who have children in plenty,
 * And leave their abundance to their babes.
 * As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness;
 * I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.

For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the, who spoke unto the the words of this song in the day that the  delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said:


 * I love thee, O, my strength.
 * The is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
