By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

How shall we sing Jehovah’s song In a foreign land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock.

[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me.

[Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].

For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.

I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, [And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, [Even] the days that were ordained [for me], When as yet there was none of them.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.

Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;

And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.

They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips. [Selah

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. [Selah

I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves. [Selah

As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.

An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.

Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

Look on [my] right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. [Selah
