Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"

A Psalm of David.


1:   The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2:   Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3:   Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4:   Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

5:   We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners:

the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

6:   Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7:   Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
8:   They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9:   Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
