1 A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright. 2 Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. 3 Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation. 4 For the word […]

1 To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away. 2 I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth. 3 In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice. 4 […]

1 Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me. 2 Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me. 3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.” 4 Let them […]

1 Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself. 2 The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. There is no fear of God before his eyes. 3 For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred. 4 The […]

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun himself. A Canticle of David. 2 I said, “I will keep to my ways, so that I will not offend with my tongue.” I posted a guard at my mouth, when a sinner took up a position against me. 3 I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet […]

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. 2 I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me. 3 And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps. […]

1 Unto the end. The understanding of the sons of Korah. 2 As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. 3 My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. When will I draw close and appear before the face of God? 4 My tears have been […]
