Rh :Gather not my soul with sinners,
 * Nor my life with men of blood;
 * In whose hands is craftiness,
 * And their right hand is full of bribes.
 * But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity;
 * Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
 * My foot standeth in an even place;
 * In the congregations will I bless the.

[A Psalm] of David.


 * The is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
 * The is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
 * When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh,
 * Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
 * Though a host should encamp against me,
 * My heart shall not fear;
 * Though war should rise up against me,
 * Even then will I be confident.


 * One thing have I asked of the, that will I seek after:
 * That I may dwell in the house of the all the days of my life,
 * To behold the graciousness of the, and to visit early in His temple.
 * For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil;
 * He hideth me in the covert of His tent;
 * He lifteth me up upon a rock.
 * And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;
 * And I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound;
 * I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the.


 * Hear, O, when I call with my voice,
 * And be gracious unto me, and answer me.
 * In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face';
 * Thy face,, will I seek.
 * Hide not Thy face far from me;
 * Put not Thy servant away in anger;
 * Thou hast been my help;
 * Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
 * For though my father and my mother have forsaken me,
 * The will take me up.


 * Teach me Thy way, O ;
 * And lead me in an even path,
 * Because of them that lie in wait for me.
 * Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries;
 * For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
 * If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the
 * In the land of the living!—
 * Wait on the ;
 * Be strong, and let thy heart take courage;
 * Yea, wait thou for the.

[A Psalm] of David.


 * Unto thee, O, do I call;
 * My Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me;
 * Lest, if Thou be silent unto me,
 * I become like them that go down into the pit.
 * Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee,
