One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
