Lord, how are they increased that trouble me *

many are they that rise against me.

Many one there be that say of my soul *

There is no help for him in his God.

But thou, O Lord, art my defender *

thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.

I did call upon the Lord with my voice *

and he heard me out of his holy hill.

I laid me down and slept, and rose up again *

for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people *

that have set themselves against me round about.

Up, Lord, and help me, O my God *

for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord *

and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness *

thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour *

and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?

Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly *

when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.

Stand in awe, and sin not *

commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.

Offer the sacrifice of righteousness *

and put your trust in the Lord.

There be many that say *

Who will shew us any good?

Lord, lift thou up *

the light of thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart *

since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest *

for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
