Psalms 36
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. [1] An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil.
5Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
8They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.
10Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the workers of iniquity have fallen; They have been cast down and are not able to rise.
Psalms 37
1A Psalm of David. [1] Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
6He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.
7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the LORD, They shall inherit the earth.
10For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn the sword And have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15Their sword shall enter their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.
16A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD upholds the righteous.
18The LORD knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the LORD, Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand.
25I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
26He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.
28For the LORD loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.
30The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.
31The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.
32The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him.
33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34Wait on the LORD, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.
38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.
Psalms 38
1A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance. [1] O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!
2For Your arrows pierce me deeply, And Your hand presses me down.
3There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger, Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin.
4For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness.
6I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7For my loins are full of inflammation, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.
9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
10My heart pants, my strength fails me; As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.
11My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, And my relatives stand afar off.
12Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long.
13But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
14Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response.
15For in You, O LORD, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God.
16For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”
17For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
18For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin.
19But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
20Those also who render evil for good, They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
21Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me!
22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
Psalms 39
1To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. [1] I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”
2I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good; And my sorrow was stirred up.
3My heart was hot within me; While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
4“LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am.
5Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah
6Surely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them.
7“And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.
8Deliver me from all my transgressions; Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.
9I was mute, I did not open my mouth, Because it was You who did it.
10Remove Your plague from me; I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.
11When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity, You make his beauty melt away like a moth; Surely every man is vapor. Selah
12“Hear my prayer, O LORD, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength, Before I go away and am no more.”
Psalms 40
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. [1] I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.
2He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.
3He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.
4Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.
6Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
7Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”
9I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.
10I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
11Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
12For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me.
13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me!
14Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil.
15Let them be confounded because of their shame, Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The LORD be magnified!”
17But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.
Psalms 41
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. [1] Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
4I said, “LORD, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5My enemies speak evil of me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
6And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies; His heart gathers iniquity to itself; When he goes out, he tells it.
7All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt.
8“An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
9Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
10But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.
11By this I know that You are well pleased with me, Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever.
13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
Psalms 42
1To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. [1] As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.
6O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.
7Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.
9I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 43
1Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
2For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.
5Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 44
1To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. [1] We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, The deeds You did in their days, In days of old:
2You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.
3For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.
4You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.
5Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me.
7But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.
8In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. Selah
9But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.
10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
11You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
12You sell Your people for next to nothing, And are not enriched by selling them.
13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
14You make us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.
15My dishonor is continually before me, And the shame of my face has covered me,
16Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the enemy and the avenger.
17All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.
18Our heart has not turned back, Nor have our steps departed from Your way;
19But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.
20If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,
21Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
23Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
24Why do You hide Your face, And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25For our soul is bowed down to the dust; Our body clings to the ground.
26Arise for our help, And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
Psalms 45
1To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love. [1] My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty.
4And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; The peoples fall under You.
6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
8All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
9Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear; Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
11So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
12And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; Her clothing is woven with gold.
14She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King’s palace.
16Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
17I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
Psalms 46
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. [1] God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
4There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
8Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
11The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Psalms 47
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
2For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth.
3He will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet.
4He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
5God has gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.
8God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.
9The princes of the people have gathered together, The people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.
Psalms 48
1A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain.
2Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
3God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.
4For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together.
5They saw it, and so they marveled; They were troubled, they hastened away.
6Fear took hold of them there, And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
7As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.
8As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah
9We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple.
10According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.
12Walk about Zion, And go all around her. Count her towers;
13Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following.
14For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.
