Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.

Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to thee will I pray.

For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy temple.

For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are agitated.

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies sake.

For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who will give thee thanks?

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.

So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
