Oppressed by the Wicked But Rejoicing in the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my 1meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
aAnd bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
bThey say, “Who will see them?”
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
cAll who see them shall flee away.
And shall ddeclare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
10 eThe righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
Praise to God for His Salvation and Providence
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion;
And to You the 1vow shall be performed.
aTo You all flesh will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will bprovide atonement for them.
4 cBlessed is the man You dchoose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
eWe shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.
5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And of the far-off seas;
6 Who established the mountains by His strength,
fBeing clothed with power;
7 gYou who still the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
hAnd the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening 2rejoice.
9 You 3visit the earth and iwater it,
You greatly enrich it;
jThe river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.
10 You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness,
And the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
kThe valleys also are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.
Praise to God for His Awesome Works
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
1 Make aa joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
“How bawesome are Your works!
cThrough the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4 dAll the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.”
Selah
5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6 eHe turned the sea into dry land;
fThey went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Selah
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to 1be moved.
10 For gYou, O God, have tested us;
hYou have refined us as silver is refined.
11 iYou brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 jYou have caused men to ride over our heads;
kWe went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to 2rich fulfillment.
13 lI will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.
Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was 4extolled with my tongue.
18 nIf I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God ohas heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
To the Chief Musician. On 1Stringed Instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
1 God be merciful to us and bless us,
And acause His face to shine upon us,
Selah
2 That bYour way may be known on earth,
cYour salvation among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For dYou shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth.
Selah
5 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 eThen the earth shall 2yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Let aGod arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2 bAs smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
cAs wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But dlet the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
eExtol 1Him who rides on the 2clouds,
And rejoice before Him.
5 gA father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
6 hGod sets the solitary in families;
iHe brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But jthe rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, kwhen You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness,
Selah
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 lYou, O God, sent a plentiful rain,
Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,
When it was weary.
10 Your congregation dwelt in it;
mYou, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
Great was the 4company of those who proclaimed it:
12 “Kings nof armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home divides the 5spoil.
13 oThough you lie down among the 6sheepfolds,
pYou will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And her feathers with yellow gold.”
14 qWhen the Almighty scattered kings in it,
It was white as snow in Zalmon.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Why do you 7fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
rThis is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17 sThe chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18 tYou have ascended on high,
uYou have led captivity captive;
vYou have received gifts among men,
Even from wthe rebellious,
xThat the Lord God might dwell there.
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah
20 Our God is the God of salvation;
And yto God the Lord belong escapes from death.
21 But zGod will wound the head of His enemies,
aThe hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring bback from Bashan,
I will bring them back cfrom the depths of the sea,
23 dThat 8your foot may crush them in blood,
eAnd the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24 They have seen Your 9procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 fThe singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
26 Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from gthe fountain of Israel.
27 hThere is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their 1company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28 2Your God has icommanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
jKings will bring presents to You.
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
kThe herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone lsubmits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31 mEnvoys will come out of Egypt;
nEthiopia will quickly ostretch out her hands to God.
32 Sing to God, you pkingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord,
Selah
33 To Him qwho rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a rmighty voice.
34 sAscribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, tYou are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
