1For the end, by David the servant of the Lord.
1Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
9And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10For with theeis the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
10All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
