For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God you have cast us off, you have broken us down; You have been angry; oh restore us again.

God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Have not you, O God, cast us off? And you don't go forth, O God, with our hosts.

Through God we shall do valiantly; For it is he that will tread down our adversaries.

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

For you, O God, have heard my vows: You have given [me] the heritage of those that fear your name.

He shall abide before God forever: Oh prepare loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for God only: From him [comes] my salvation.

My soul, wait in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this, That power belongs to God.

A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I will seek you: My soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that swears by him shall glory; For the mouth of those that speak lies shall be stopped.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

But God will shoot at them; With an arrow they shall suddenly be wounded.

And all of man shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David. Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion; And to you shall the vow be performed.

By awesome things you will answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, You that are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of those that are far off on the sea:

You visit the earth, and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water: You provide them grain, when you have so prepared the earth.
