David earnestly imploreth God's help. been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the will † take me up.

Teach me thy way, O, and lead me in † a plain path, because of † mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the in the land of the living.

Wait on the : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the. 

A Psalm of David.

NTO thee will I cry, O my rock; be not silent † to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands ‖ toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

Because they regard not the works of the, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be the, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

The is ‖ their strength, and he is the † saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: ‖ feed them also, and lift them up for ever. 

A Psalm of David.

IVE unto the, O † ye mighty, give unto the glory and strength.

Give unto the † the glory due unto his name; worship the ‖ in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the  is upon ‖ many waters.

The voice of the is † powerful; the voice of the is † full of majesty.

The voice of the breaketh the cedars; yea, the  breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of the † divideth the flames of fire.

The voice of the shaketh the wilderness; the  shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the maketh the hinds ‖ to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple ‖ doth every one speak of his glory.

The sitteth upon the flood; yea, the  sitteth King for ever.

The will give strength unto his people; the  will bless his people with peace.

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

Will extol thee, O ; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

O, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the, O ye saints of his, and give thanks ‖ at the remembrance of his holiness.

For † his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure † for a night, but † joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

, by thy favour thou hast † made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O ; and unto the I made supplication. T t t
