Judge me, O Jehovah;
For I have walked in my  ¹integrity,
And in Jehovah I have trusted;
I will not waver.

Examine me, O Jehovah, and try me;
Test my inward parts and my heart.

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your truth.

I do not sit with men of falsehood,
Nor will I associate with hypocrites.

I hate the assembly of evildoers,
Nor will I sit with the wicked.

I wash my hands in innocence
And go around Your altar, O Jehovah,

Making myself heard with the voice of thanksgiving
And telling out all Your wonderful deeds.

O Jehovah, I love the habitation of Your house,
And the place where Your glory  ¹abides.

Do not gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

In whose hand is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be gracious to me.

My foot stands on level ground;
In the assemblies I will bless Jehovah.

Of David

Jehovah is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
Jehovah is the strength of my life;
Whom shall I dread?

When evildoers come near me
To devour my flesh,
It is they, my adversaries and my enemies,
Who stumble and fall.

If an army camps against me,
My heart does not fear;
If a battle arises against me,
In spite of this I am confident.

One thing I have asked from Jehovah;
That do I seek:
To dwell in the  ¹house of Jehovah
All the days of my life,
To behold the  ²beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in His temple.

For He will conceal me in His shelter
In the day of trouble;
He will hide me in the hiding place of His tent;
He will raise me up upon a rock.

And now my head is lifted up
Above my enemies who surround me.
And I will offer in His tent
Sacrifices of shouts of joy:
I will sing and psalm to Jehovah.

Hear, O Jehovah, when I call with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.

When You say, Seek My face,
To You my heart says, Your face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in Your anger;
You have been my help.
Do not abandon me or forsake me,
O God of my salvation.

If my father and my mother forsake me,
Jehovah will take me up.

Teach me, O Jehovah, Your way,
And lead me on a level path
Because of those who lie in wait for me.

Do not give me over
To the desire of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen up against me,
And those who breathe out threats.

 ¹I have believed
That I would see the goodness of Jehovah
In the land of the living.

Wait for Jehovah;
Be strong, and let your heart be encouraged.
Yes, wait for Jehovah.

Of David

To You, O Jehovah, do I call out;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry out to You,
When I lift up my hands
Unto Your innermost sanctuary.

Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with the workers of iniquity,
Who speak peace to their neighbors
While evil is in their heart.

 ¹Repay them according to what they have done
And according to the evil of their deeds;
According to the work of their hands repay them;
Return to them their due.

For they do not regard the acts of Jehovah
Or the work of His hands;
He will tear them down
And not rebuild them.

Blessed be Jehovah,
For He has heard the voice of my supplications.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults;
And with my song do I give thanks to Him.

Jehovah is  ¹their strength;
And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.

Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
And shepherd them and carry them forever.

A Psalm of David

 ¹Ascribe to Jehovah, O sons of the Mighty,
Ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength;

Ascribe to Jehovah the glory of His name;
Worship Jehovah in holy  ¹splendor.

The voice of Jehovah is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
Jehovah over the great waters.

The voice of Jehovah is powerful;
The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars;
Indeed Jehovah breaks the cedars of Lebanon in pieces;

And He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And  ¹Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of Jehovah cleaves out flames of fire.

The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness;
Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah  ¹causes the hinds to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple all say, Glory!

Jehovah sat enthroned at the Flood,
And Jehovah sits as King forever.

May Jehovah give strength to His people.
May Jehovah bless His people with peace.

A Psalm; a Song for the Dedication of the House. Of David

I extol You, O Jehovah, for You have drawn me up
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O Jehovah my God,
I cried out to You,
And You healed me.

O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have preserved me alive  ¹that I would not go down into the pit.

Sing psalms to Jehovah, you who are His faithful ones;
And  ¹praise His holy  ²memorial.

For His anger lasts but a moment,
His favor, a lifetime;
Weeping may linger in the evening,
But a ringing shout goes up in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,
I will never be shaken.

O Jehovah, by Your favor You had made my  ¹mountain stand strong.
You hid Your face; I was troubled.

To You, O Jehovah, I called out;
And to  ¹Jehovah I made my supplication.

What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your  ¹faithfulness?

Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious to me.
O Jehovah, be my help.

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosened my sackcloth
And girded me with rejoicing,

That my  ¹glory might sing psalms to You and not be silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will praise You forever.
