Psalms 26



A Psalm of David.

1 Judge me, O Lord,

for I have walked in my integrity.

I have trusted in the Lord;

I will not slip.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Examine me, O Lord, and test me;

try my affections and my heart.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5 ) For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,

and I have walked in Your truth.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I have not sat with the worthless,

nor will I go with hypocrites.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I have hated the congregation of evildoers,

and will not sit with the wicked.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I will wash my hands in innocence;

thus I will go around Your altar, O Lord,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) that I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,

and tell of all Your wondrous works.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Lord, I have loved the refuge of Your house,

and the place where Your honor dwells.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2 ) Do not gather my soul with sinners,

nor my life with murderers,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) in whose hands is wickedness,

and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;

redeem me and be gracious to me.

12 My foot stands in an even place;

with the congregations I will bless the Lord.



Psalm 26

[1] Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted

also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

[2] Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

[3] For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

and I have walked in thy truth.

[4] I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

[5] I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the

wicked.

[6] I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O

LORD:

[7] That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy

wondrous works.

[8] LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where

thine honour dwelleth.

[9] Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

[10] In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

[11] But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be

merciful unto me.

[12] My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless

the LORD.



Psalms 40

Ps 70:1-5



For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.



1 I waited patiently for the Lord,

and He turned to me, and heard my cry.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,

out of the miry clay,

and set my feet on a rock,

and established my steps.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He has put a new song in my mouth,

even praise to our God;

many will see it, and fear,

and will trust in the Lord.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Blessed is the man

who places trust in the Lord,

but does not turn toward the proud,

nor those falling away to falsehood.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) O Lord my God,

You have done many wonderful works,

and Your thoughts toward us

cannot be compared;

if I would declare and speak of them,

they are more than can be numbered.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9 ) Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;

You have opened up my ears to listen.

Burnt offering and sin offering

You have not required.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Then I said, "Behold, I have come;

in the scroll of the book it is written of me,

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I delight to do Your will, O my God;

Your law is within my inward parts."

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) I have proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation;

I have not held back my lips,

O Lord, You know.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;

I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth

from the great congregation.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;

may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;

my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;

they are more than the hairs of my head

so that my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 May those seeking to snatch away my life

be ashamed and confounded together;

may those who desire my harm

be driven backward and dishonored.

15 May those who say to me "Aha, aha!"

be appalled on account of their shame.

16 May all those who seek You

rejoice and be glad in You;

may those who love Your salvation say continually,

"The Lord is magnified."

17 But I am poor and needy;

yet the Lord thinks about me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

do not delay, O my God.



Psalm 40

[1] I waited patiently for the LORD;

and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

[2] He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and

set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

[3] And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many

shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

[4] Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not

the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

[5] 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.

[6] Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou

opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

[7] Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

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

[9] I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not

refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

[10] I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy

faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and

thy truth from the great congregation.

[11] Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy

lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

[12] 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.

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

[14] 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.

[15] Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha,

aha.

[16] Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as

love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

[17] But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my

help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.



Psalms 58

For the Music Director. To the melody of "Do Not Destroy."A Miktam of David.



1 Do you truly speak righteousness, O heavenly gods?

Do you judge uprightly, O earthly men?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Indeed, in the heart you work wickedness;

you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The wicked are estranged from the womb onward;

those who speak lies go astray from birth.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;

they are like the deaf adder that plugs its ear,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) and will not listen to the voice of charmers,

even the best and wisest enchanter.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Break their teeth in their mouth, O God;

break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) May they melt away as waters which run continually;

when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be trodden under.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) May they become as a snail that melts as it goes,

like the untimely birth of a woman, may they not see the sun.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Before your pots can feel the thorns- heat, green or burning,

may He sweep them away.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;

he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) and people will say,

"Surely there is a reward for the righteous;

surely there is a God who judges on the earth."



Psalm 58

[1] Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly,

O ye sons of men?

[2] Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in

the earth.

[3] The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they

be born, speaking lies.

[4] Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf

adder that stoppeth her ear;

[5] Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

[6] Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of

the young lions, O LORD.

[7] Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his

bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

[8] As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the

untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

[9] Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a

whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

[10] The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash

his feet in the blood of the wicked.

[11] So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:

verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
