He who  ¹dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the  ²Almighty.

I say of Jehovah,
My refuge and My fortress,
My God in whom I trust!

For He will deliver You
From the snare of the fowler,
From the deadly pestilence.

With His pinions He will cover You,
And under His wings You will take refuge;
His truth is a shield and a buckler.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day,

Or of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

A thousand will fall at Your side,
And ten thousand at Your right hand;
But it will not come near to You.

You will only look on with Your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.

For  ¹You have made Jehovah, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High,  ¹Your habitation,

No evil will befall You,
Nor will any plague come near Your tent.

For He will give His  ¹angels charge concerning You
To keep You in all Your ways.

They will bear You up in their hands,
Lest You dash Your foot against a stone.

You will tread upon the  ¹lion and the  ¹cobra;
You will trample the young lion and the serpent.

Because  ¹He has set His love upon Me, I will rescue Him;
I will set Him on high, because He has known My name.

He will call upon Me, and I will answer Him.
I will be with Him in distress;
I will deliver Him and honor Him.

With an extension of His days I will satisfy Him,
And I will show Him My salvation.

A Psalm; a Song for the Sabbath day

It is good to  ¹give thanks to Jehovah
And to sing psalms to Your name, O Most High;

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness in the nights,

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon a harp,
Upon the  ¹higgaion of the lyre.

For You have made me rejoice, O Jehovah, because of what You have done;
Because of the works of Your hands I will shout for joy.

How great are Your works, O Jehovah!
So very deep are Your thoughts!

A senseless man does not know them,
Nor does a fool understand  ¹them.

When the wicked sprout like grass,
And all the workers of iniquity blossom,
It is so that they may be destroyed forever.

But You are on high forever, O Jehovah.

For behold, Your enemies, O Jehovah;
For behold, Your enemies will perish;
All the workers of iniquity will be scattered.

But You have exalted my  ¹horn like that of a wild ox;
I am  ²anointed with fresh oil.

And my eye has seen its desire for my enemies;
My ears have heard their desire for the evildoers who rise up against me.

The righteous man will  ¹flourish like the palm tree;
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of Jehovah,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.

They will still bring forth fruit in old age;
They will be full of sap and green;

To declare that Jehovah is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Jehovah  ¹reigns; He is clothed with majesty.
Jehovah is clothed, He has girded Himself, with strength.
Indeed the world has been  ²established; it will not be moved.

Your throne is established from of old;
You are from eternity.

The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah;
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their roaring.

More than the voices of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
Jehovah on high is mighty!

Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness befits Your house,
O Jehovah, forevermore.

O God of vengeance, O Jehovah,
O God of vengeance,  ¹shine forth!

Lift Yourself up, O Judge of the earth;
Render the reward upon the proud.

How long, O Jehovah, will the wicked,
How long will the wicked exult?

They burst out; they speak arrogantly;
All the workers of iniquity boast.

They crush Your people, O Jehovah,
And afflict Your inheritance.

They slay the widow and the stranger,
And they murder orphans.

And they say,  ¹Jehovah does not see,
And the God of Jacob does not consider.

Consider, you senseless ones among the people;
And you foolish ones, when will you become wise?

He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
And He who formed the eye, does He not see?

He who  ¹disciplines the nations,
He who teaches man knowledge, does He not reprove?

Jehovah knows the thoughts of man,
That they are vanity.

Blessed is the man
Whom You discipline, O Jehovah,
And teach out of Your law;

That You may give him rest from the days of evil
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

For Jehovah will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

For judgment will  ¹return unto righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

Unless Jehovah had been my help,
My soul would have soon dwelt in silence.

When I said, My foot has slipped,
Your lovingkindness, O Jehovah, upheld me.

When my disquieting thoughts within me are many,
Your comfortings delight my soul.

Shall the seat of destruction be united with You,
Which devises trouble through its statutes?

They band together against the soul of the righteous man
And condemn innocent blood.

But Jehovah has been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge;

And He will return their iniquity upon them
And destroy them in their own evil;
Jehovah our God will destroy them.

Come, let us sing for joy to Jehovah;
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise to Him with psalms.

For Jehovah is a great God
And a  ¹great King above all gods.

In His hand are the depths of the earth,
The heights of the mountains are His also.

The sea is His, and He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture
And the flock of His hand.
Today, if you hear His voice,

Do not harden your heart as at  ¹Meribah,
As in the day of  ²Massah in the wilderness;

When your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, even though they had seen My work.

For forty years I loathed that generation,
And I said, They are a people who go astray in heart;
And they do not know My  ¹ways;

Therefore I swore in My anger:
They shall by no means enter into My  ¹rest!
