¹To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

²Both low and high, Rich and poor together.

³My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.

⁴I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp.

⁵Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

⁶Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches,

⁷None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him—

⁸For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever—

⁹That he should continue to live eternally, And not see the Pit.

¹⁰For he sees wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, And leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever, Their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

¹²Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.

¹³This is the way of those who are foolish, And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah

¹⁴Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.

¹⁵But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me. Selah

¹⁶Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.

¹⁸Though while he lives he blesses himself (For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),

¹⁹He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light.

²⁰A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts that perish.

¹A Psalm of Asaph. [1] The Mighty One, God the LORD, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.

²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.

³Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

⁴He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

⁵“Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

⁶Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah

⁷“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God!

⁸I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me.

⁹I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

¹²“If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

¹³Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.

¹⁵Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

¹⁶But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth,

¹⁷Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?

¹⁸When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers.

¹⁹You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.

²⁰You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.

²¹These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes.

²²“Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:

²³Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.”

¹To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. [1] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

²Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

³For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.

⁴Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.

⁵Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

⁶Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice.

⁹Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

¹¹Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

¹²Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

¹³Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.

¹⁴Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

¹⁶For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.

¹⁸Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

¹To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of David when Doeg the Edomite went and told Saul, and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” [1] Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.

²Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

⁴You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

⁵God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

⁶The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying,

⁷“Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

⁸But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

⁹I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A Contemplation of David. [1] The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.

²God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

³Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.

⁴Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?

⁵There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.

⁶Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

¹To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?” [1] Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength.

²Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

³For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah

⁴Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life.

⁵He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth.

⁶I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

⁷For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

¹To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David. [1] Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

²Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,

³Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me.

⁴My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

⁷Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah

⁸I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest.”

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.

¹¹Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.

¹²For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.

¹³But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.

¹⁵Let death seize them; Let them go down alive into hell, For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.

¹⁷Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.

¹⁹God will hear, and afflict them, Even He who abides from of old. Selah Because they do not change, Therefore they do not fear God.

²⁰He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has broken his covenant.

²¹The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, But war was in his heart; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.

²²Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

²³But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You.

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath. [1] Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me.

²My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

³Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

⁴In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

⁵All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life.

⁷Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

⁸You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?

⁹When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me.

¹⁰In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word),

¹¹In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

¹²Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You,

¹³For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David when he fled from Saul into the cave. [1] Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by.

²I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

³He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

⁴My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

⁶They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

⁷My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.

⁸Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.

⁹I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.

¹⁰For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.

¹¹Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David. [1] Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones? Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men?

²No, in heart you work wickedness; You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

³The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

⁵Which will not heed the voice of charmers, Charming ever so skillfully.

⁶Break their teeth in their mouth, O God! Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!

⁷Let them flow away as waters which run continually; When he bends his bow, Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.

⁸Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes, Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

⁹Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, As in His living and burning wrath.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

¹¹So that men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who judges in the earth.”

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him. [1] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me.

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.

³For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD.

⁴They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me, and behold!

⁵You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

⁶At evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.

⁷Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; For they say, “Who hears?”

⁸But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision.

⁹I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense.

¹⁰My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.

¹¹Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for the cursing and lying which they speak.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, That they may not be; And let them know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah

¹⁴And at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.

¹⁵They wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied.

¹⁶But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁷To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.

¹To the Chief Musician. Set to “Lily of the Testimony.” A Michtam of David. For teaching. When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. [1] O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again!

²You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.

³You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion.

⁴You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

⁵That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

⁶God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver.

⁸Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”

⁹Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

¹¹Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.

¹²Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

¹To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. [1] Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.

²From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

⁴I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

⁵For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.

⁶You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations.

⁷He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!

⁸So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
