¹²They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

³¹My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

⁴Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹¹Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

²³Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

²⁰And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

¹God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

¹Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

¹Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

¹Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

¹Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

³Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

¹⁶The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

¹The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

¹O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

¹As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

¹We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

¹My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

¹Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

¹Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

¹Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

¹O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

¹Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

¹I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

¹I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

⁷For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

¹Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
