To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
