King David of Israel Poems

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

1 Unto thee, O LORD,
do I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, I trust in thee:
...

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

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

(When the Philistines had seized David in Gath.)

1 Be merciful unto me, O God:
for man would swallow me up;
...

1 Be 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.
...

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

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

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

(When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.)

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,
thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
