Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

There were they in great fear:
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
because the LORD is his refuge.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and call not upon the LORD.

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his tongue,
nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.

But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
