There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.

As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.

As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.

As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.

For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD, {N}in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul;

He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.

For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.

For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.

For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect;

For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?

Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
