1Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
1 The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
2You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)
3O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
3For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
4He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
5His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
7For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
8Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,
11For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
12Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
13Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
14They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
14(not in this translation)
15I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
15(not in this translation)
16My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
16(not in this translation)
17For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
17(not in this translation)
18They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
18(not in this translation)
19They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
19(not in this translation)
20But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
20(not in this translation)
21Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
21(not in this translation)
22Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
22(not in this translation)
23I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
23(not in this translation)
24Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
24(not in this translation)
25Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
25(not in this translation)
26With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
26(not in this translation)
27The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
27(not in this translation)
28All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
28(not in this translation)
29For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
