3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God isthe King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, eventhe people of the God of Abraham: for
the shields of the earth belongunto God: he is greatly exalted.
1 <<A Song andPsalm for the sons of Korah.>> Great isthe LORD, and greatly to be praised in the
city of our God, inthe mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, ismount Zion, onthe sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, andso they marvelled; they were troubled, andhasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, andpain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God
will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so isthy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is
full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell itto the generation
following.
14 For this God isour God for ever and ever: he will be our guide evenunto death.
1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.>> Hear this, all yepeople; give ear, all
yeinhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall beof understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, whenthe iniquity of my heels shall compass me
about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of themcan by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul isprecious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, andnot see corruption.
10 For he seeth thatwise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave
their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, thattheir houses shall continuefor ever, andtheir dwelling places
to all generations; they call theirlands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man beingin honour abideth not: he is like the beasts thatperish.
13 This their way istheir folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have
dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their
dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and menwill praise thee, when thou doest well to
thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that isin honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts thatperish.
1 <<A Psalm of Asaph.>> The mighty God, eventhe LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from
the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be
very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God isjudge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I amGod, even
thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have beencontinually
before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, norhe goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest ismine, andthe cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field aremine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world ismine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or thatthou
shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with
adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest andspeakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These thingshast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such
an oneas thyself: butI will reprove thee, and set themin order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear youin pieces, and there benone to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth hisconversation arightwill I
shew the salvation of God.
1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he
had gone in to Bathsheba.>> Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin isever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done thisevil in thy sight: that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, andbe clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden partthou shalt make me to
know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; thatthe bones whichthou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thyfree spirit.
13 Thenwill I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: andmy tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God area broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and
whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
1 <<To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalmof 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 endurethcontinually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; andlying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thoudeceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy
dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 Lo, this isthe man thatmade not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
andstrengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 But I amlike a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and
ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is
good before thy saints.
1 <<To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalmof David.>> The fool hath said in his
heart, There isno God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there isnone that
doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were anythat did
understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there isnone that doeth
good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people asthey eat bread: they have
not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, whereno fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him
that encampeth againstthee: thou hast put themto shame, because God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were comeout of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of
his people, Jacob shall rejoice, andIsrael shall be glad.
1 <<To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalmof David, when the Ziphims came and
said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?>> Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me
by thy strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set
God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God ismine helper: the Lord iswith them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
