1 Lord, my heart is not haughty,
my eyes are not raised too high.
I have not striven for enormities,
for things too wonderful for me.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I composed and quieted my desire,
like a child given suck by his mother;
like a child who sucks is my desire within me.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Let Israel hope in the Lord
from now and forever.
Psalm 131
[1] LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I
exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
[3] Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever
Psalms 138
A Psalm of David.
1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I will sing Your praise.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will worship toward Your holy temple,
and praise Your name
for Your lovingkindness and for Your truth;
for You have exalted Your word
above all Your name.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) On the day I called, You answered me,
and strengthened me in my soul.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of Your mouth.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Indeed, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Though the Lord is exalted,
yet He has concern for the lowly,
but the proud one He knows from a distance.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
You will preserve me;
You stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and Your right hand saves me.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Psalm 138
[1] I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing
praise unto thee.
[2] I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy
lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all
thy name.
[3] In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with
strength in my soul.
[4] All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the
words of thy mouth.
[5] Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of
the LORD.
[6] Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the
proud he knoweth afar off.
[7] Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt
stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right
hand shall save me.
[8] The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD,
endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
Psalms 139
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, You have searched me
and known me.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) You know when I sit down and when I get up;
You understand my thought from far off.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You search my path and my lying down
and are aware of all my ways.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For there is not a word on my tongue,
but behold, O Lord, You know it fully.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You put Yourself behind and before me,
and keep Your hand on me.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is lofty, and I cannot fathom it.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Where shall I go from Your spirit,
or where shall I flee from Your presence?
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell at the end of the sea,
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) even there Your hand shall guide me,
and Your right hand shall take hold of me.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light shall be as night about me,"
12 even the darkness is not dark to You,
but the night shines as the day,
for the darkness is like light to You.
13 You brought my inner parts into being;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;
marvelous are Your works,
and You know me completely.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in secret,
and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
yet in Your book
all my days were written,
before any of them came into being.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them,
they are more in number than the sand;
when I awake,
I am still with You.
19 If only You would slay the wicked, OGod!
O violent men, depart from me.
20 For they speak against You with malice,
and Your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate those, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not abhor those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and know my concerns,
24 and see if there is any rebellious way inme,
and lead me in the ancient way.
Psalm 139
[1] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
[2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my
thought afar off.
[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all
my ways.
[4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it
altogether.
[5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
[6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto
it.
[7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
[8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell,
behold, thou art there.
[9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of
the sea;
[10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be
light about me.
[12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the
day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
[13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb.
[14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous
are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
[15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
[16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book
all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as
yet there was none of them.
[17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum
of them!
[18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I
awake, I am still with thee.
[19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye
bloody men.
[20] For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name
in vain.
[21] Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with
those that rise up against thee?
[22] I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
[23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.
Psalms 143
A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
give ear to my supplications;
in Your faithfulness answer me,
and in Your righteousness.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Enter not into judgment with Your servant,
for in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
he has crushed my life down to the ground;
he has made me to dwell in darkness,
as those who have been long dead.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I consider the work of Your hands.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I stretch forth my hands unto You;
my soul thirsts after You as a thirsty land. Selah
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Respond to me quickly, O Lord,
my spirit fails;
do not hide Your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
for in You I have my trust;
cause me to know the way I should walk,
for I lift up my soul unto You.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
I flee unto You for my protection.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God;
may Your good spirit
lead me onto level ground.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Revive me, O Lord, for Your name's sake,
for Your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies,
and destroy all them who afflict my soul,
for I am Your servant.
