Psalms 26
1
(25-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

3
(25-3) For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
4
(25-4) I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
5
(25-5) I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

(25-6) I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
7
(25-7) That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8
(25-8) I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9
(25-9) Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:
10
(25-10) In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
11
(25-11) But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

(26-1) <The psalm of David before he was anointed.> The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
2
(26-2) Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.

5
(26-5) For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
6
(26-6) He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.

(26-7) Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
8
(26-8) My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.

Psalms 31
1
(30-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.> (30-2) In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2
(30-3) Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3
(30-4) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4
(30-5) Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5
(30-6) Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6
(30-7) Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7
(30-8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8
(30-9) And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9
(30-10) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10
(30-11) For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11
(30-12) I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12
(30-13) I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13
(30-14) For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14
(30-15) But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15
(30-16) My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16
(30-17) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
17
(30-18) Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
18
(30-19) Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
19
(30-20) O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
20
(30-21) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle form the contradiction of tongues.
21
(30-22) Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
22
(30-23) But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
23
(30-24) O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
24
(30-25) Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
