5 Then shall he speak unto them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath, 6 "But as for me, I have set my king 7 "Upon Zion, my holy mountain." I will declare the decree: Jehovah Said unto me, 66 "Thou art my Son; It is I, this day, that have begotten thee." 8 "Ask of me, and I will give the nations for 9 10 thine inheritance, "And the ends of the earth for thy possession. "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; "Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's Now, therefore, O kings, understand : Be instructed, O judges of the earth. 11 Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. For soon will his anger be kindled. a Acts xiii. 32, 33; Heb. i. 5; v. 5. PSALM III. A Psalm by David when he fled from Absalom his son. 1 O JEHOVAH, how many are mine adversaries! Many are those that rise up against me. 2 Many are those that say of my soul, Selah. There is no salvation for him in God. 3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me, My glory, and the lifter up of my head." 4 With my voice will I call upon Jehovah, And he will answer me out of his holy mountain. 5 As for me, I lie down and sleep; I awake, for Jehovah sustaineth me. Selah. 6 I fear not the tens of thousands of people, That set themselves against me round about. 7 Rise up, O Jehovah: save me, O my God; For thou wilt smite all mine enemies upon the cheek-bone, Thou wilt break the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation is of Jehovah :b Thy blessing is upon thy people. a Zech. ii. 5. b Jonah ii. 9. Selah. 1 2 PSALM IV. For the chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. ANSWER me when I call, O my righteous Thou hast relieved me in trouble, Be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer. ye children of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame ? How long will ye love vanity and seek after lies? Selah. 3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart for him self his godly one: Jehovah will hear when I call upon him. 4 Tremble and sin not: 6 Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, Selah. a There are many that say, "Who will show O Jehovah, lift thou up upon us the light of thy countenance; a Ps. li. 19. 7 Thou hast put more gladness in my heart, Than in the time that their corn and their wine increase. 8 In peace, will I both lie down and sleep; PSALM V. For the chief Musician. For the flutes. A Psalm by David. 1 GIVE ear to my words, O Jehovah : consider my meditation. 2 Attend unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; Ι For unto thee do I pray. In the morning, O Jehovah, thou shalt hear my voice; In the morning will I set my words in order before thee, and watch. 4 For thou art not a God that delighteth in wickedness; Neither shall evil abide with thee. 5 The arrogant shall not stand before thine eyes: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: Jehovah will abhor the man of blood and deceit. But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thine house : In the fear of thee, will I worship in thy holy temple." Guide me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before me;" 9 For there is no faithfulness in his mouth, their inward part is wickedness, Their throat is an open grave, they flatter with their tongue. 10 Punish them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; 11 Cast them down in the abundance of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. But let all those that take refuge in thee beglad; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou protectest them ; Yea, let those that love thy name, rejoice in thee; 12 For as for thee, O Jehovah, thou blessest the righteous one; With favour thou compassest him as with a buckler. a Ps. cxxxviii. 2. b Ps. xxvii. 11.
