¹ By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

⁸ Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

⁷ The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!

⁷ Jehovah `is' my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

³ `I pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which `is' good in Thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth -- a great weeping.

¹⁸ If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

³ He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

⁸ Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!

²⁵ Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.

³ and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge,

⁴ for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord:

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

⁶ And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,

¹² For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

²³ may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful `is' He who did promise),

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

¹⁰ wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,

⁶ Only -- He `is' my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

² Only -- He `is' my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

¹⁵ And Jehovah hath been for judge, and hath judged between me and thee, yea, he seeth and pleadeth my cause, and doth deliver me out of thy hand.'

⁵ Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.

² He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

⁷ For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

² My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

²¹ Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited `on' Thee.

¹¹ And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

¹⁴ And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou `art' my God.'

²⁴ Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

³¹ The law of his God `is' his heart, His steps do not slide.

¹ Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

¹ To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
