But I {am} poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou {art} my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: {neither} let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. {wrongfully: Heb. falsely}

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: {but} I will meditate in thy precepts.

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

For without cause have they hid for me their net {in} a pit, {which} without cause they have digged for my soul.

Thou {art} near, O LORD; and all thy commandments {are} truth.

Thy testimonies {that} thou hast commanded {are} righteous and very faithful. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}

Wherefore the law {is} holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Therefore I esteem all {thy} precepts {concerning} all {things to be} right; {and} I hate every false way.

Thy righteousness {is} an everlasting righteousness, and thy law {is} the truth.

The fear of the LORD {is} clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD {are} true {and} righteous altogether. {true: Heb. truth}

Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, {and} to turn away thy wrath from them.

But mine enemies {are} lively, {and} they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. {are lively...: Heb. being living, are strong}

I looked on {my} right hand, and beheld, but {there was} no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. {I looked...: or, Look on the right hand, and see} {failed...: Heb. perished from me} {cared...: Heb. sought after}

[Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.] O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: {words: or, business}

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. {flee...: Heb. hide me with thee}

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not {for} my transgression, nor {for} my sin, O LORD.

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

Thy word {is} true {from} the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments {endureth} for ever. {Thy word...: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}

For this {is} thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. {thankworthy: or, thank}

Thy testimonies {that} thou hast commanded {are} righteous and very faithful. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}

My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments {are} righteousness.

Wherefore the law {is} holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices {which} ye wrongfully imagine against me.

The works of his hands {are} verity and judgment; all his commandments {are} sure.

And what nation {is there so} great, that hath statutes and judgments {so} righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

For all his judgments {were} before me: and {as for} his statutes, I did not depart from them.
