ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

PS-1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of

the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in

the seat of the scornful.

PS-1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his

law doth he meditate day and night.

PS-1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of

water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf

also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

PS-1:4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which

the wind driveth away.

PS-1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

PS-1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the

way of the ungodly shall perish.

*PS-2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain

thing?

PS-2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers

take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his

anointed, [saying],

PS-2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their

cords from us.

PS-2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord

shall have them in derision.

PS-2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them

in his sore displeasure.

PS-2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

PS-2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me,

Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

PS-2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for]

thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for]

thy possession.

PS-2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash

them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

PS-2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye

judges of the earth.

PS-2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

PS-2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the

way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all

they that put their trust in him.

*PS-3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they

that rise up against me.

PS-3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help

for him in God. Selah.

PS-3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and

the lifter up of mine head.

PS-3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out

of his holy hill. Selah.

PS-3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD

sustained me.

PS-3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that

have set [themselves] against me round about.

PS-3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten

all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the

teeth of the ungodly.

PS-3:8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is]

upon thy people. Selah.

*PS-4:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast

enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and

hear my prayer.

PS-4:2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into

shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing?

Selah.

PS-4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly

for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

PS-4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart

upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

PS-4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust

in the LORD.

PS-4:6 [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good?

LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

PS-4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time

[that] their corn and their wine increased.

PS-4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou,

LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

*PS-5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

PS-5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:

for unto thee will I pray.

PS-5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the

morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.

PS-5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:

neither shall evil dwell with thee.

PS-5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all

workers of iniquity.

PS-5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will

abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

PS-5:7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the

multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward

thy holy temple.

PS-5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine

enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

PS-5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their

inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open

sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

PS-5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own

counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions;

for they have rebelled against thee.

PS-5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:

let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let

them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

PS-5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour

wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.

*PS-6:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A

Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither

chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

PS-6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal

me; for my bones are vexed.

PS-6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

PS-6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy

mercies' sake.

PS-6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the

grave who shall give thee thanks?

PS-6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed

to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

PS-6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old

because of all mine enemies.

PS-6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD

hath heard the voice of my weeping.

PS-6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will

receive my prayer.

PS-6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them

return [and] be ashamed suddenly.

*PS-7:1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD,

concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in

thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me,

and deliver me:

PS-7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,

while [there is] none to deliver.

PS-7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity

in my hands;

PS-7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with

me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

PS-7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let

him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in

the dust. Selah.

PS-7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of

the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment

[that] thou hast commanded.

PS-7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee

about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

PS-7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD,

according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity

[that is] in me.

PS-7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but

establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and

reins.

PS-7:10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in

heart.

PS-7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the

wicked] every day.

PS-7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his

bow, and made it ready.

PS-7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

PS-7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived

mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

PS-7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the

ditch [which] he made.

PS-7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his

violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

PS-7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:

and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

*PS-8:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O

LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who

hast set thy glory above the heavens.

PS-8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou

ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest

still the enemy and the avenger.

PS-8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the

moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

PS-8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of

man, that thou visitest him?

PS-8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

PS-8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy

hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

PS-8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

PS-8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and

whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

PS-8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the

earth!

*PS-9:1 To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show

forth all thy marvellous works.

PS-9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to

thy name, O thou most High.

PS-9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and

perish at thy presence.

PS-9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou

satest in the throne judging right.

PS-9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the

wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

PS-9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with

them.

PS-9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his

throne for judgment.

PS-9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall

minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

PS-9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a

refuge in times of trouble.

PS-9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

PS-9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:

declare among the people his doings.

PS-9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth

them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

PS-9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I

suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the

gates of death:

PS-9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the

daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

PS-9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made:

in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

PS-9:16 The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth:

the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.

Selah.

PS-9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the

nations that forget God.

PS-9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the

expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.

PS-9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be

judged in thy sight.

PS-9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know

themselves [to be but] men. Selah.

*PS-10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou

[thyself] in times of trouble?

PS-10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let

them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

PS-10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and

blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.

PS-10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will

not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.

PS-10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far

above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at

them.

PS-10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I

shall] never [be] in adversity.

PS-10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under

his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.

PS-10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the

secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily

set against the poor.

PS-10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth

in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he

draweth him into his net.

PS-10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may

fall by his strong ones.

PS-10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he

hideth his face; he will never see [it].

PS-10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not

the humble.

PS-10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in

his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].

PS-10:14 Thou hast seen [it]: for thou beholdest mischief and

spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth

himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

PS-10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]:

seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.

PS-10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are

perished out of his land.

PS-10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou

wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

PS-10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man

of the earth may no more oppress.

*PS-11:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD

put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your

mountain?

PS-11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready

their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the

upright in heart.

PS-11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous

do?

PS-11:4 The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is]

in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

PS-11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him

that loveth violence his soul hateth.

PS-11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,

and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their

cup.

PS-11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his

countenance doth behold the upright.

*PS-12:1 To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail

from among the children of men.

PS-12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with]

flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.

PS-12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the

tongue that speaketh proud things:

PS-12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips

[are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

PS-12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the

needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in

safety [from him that] puffeth at him.

PS-12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver

tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

PS-12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them

from this generation for ever.

PS-12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are

exalted.

*PS-13:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt

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

face from me?

PS-13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having]

sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted

over me?

PS-13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,

lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

PS-13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and]

those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

PS-13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice

in thy salvation.

PS-13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt

bountifully with me.

*PS-14:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. 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.

PS-14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of

men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek

God.

PS-14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become

filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS-14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat

up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

PS-14:5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the

generation of the righteous.

PS-14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD

[is] his refuge.

PS-14:7 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.

*PS-15:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy

tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

PS-15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,

and speaketh the truth in his heart.

PS-15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil

to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

PS-15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he

honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his

own] hurt, and changeth not.

PS-15:5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh

reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall

never be moved.

*PS-16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I

put my trust.

PS-16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my

Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

PS-16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to]

the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.

PS-16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after]

another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,

nor take up their names into my lips.

PS-16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my

cup: thou maintainest my lot.

PS-16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea,

I have a goodly heritage.

PS-16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my

reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

PS-16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at

my right hand, I shall not be moved.

PS-16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my

flesh also shall rest in hope.

PS-16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt

thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

PS-16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence

[is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for

evermore.

*PS-17:1 A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto

my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned

lips.

PS-17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine

eyes behold the things that are equal.

PS-17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in

the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am

purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.

PS-17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I

have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.

PS-17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip

not.

PS-17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:

incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.

PS-17:7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest

by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from

those that rise up [against them].

PS-17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the

shadow of thy wings,

PS-17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly

enemies, [who] compass me about.

PS-17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth

they speak proudly.

PS-17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set

their eyes bowing down to the earth;

PS-17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it

were a young lion lurking in secret places.

PS-17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver

my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:

PS-17:14 From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the

world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose

belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of

children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.

PS-17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I

shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

*PS-18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant

of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in

the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his

enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love

thee, O LORD, my strength.

PS-18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the

horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.

PS-18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised:

so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

PS-18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of

ungodly men made me afraid.

PS-18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of

death prevented me.

PS-18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my

God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before

him, [even] into his ears.

PS-18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also

of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

PS-18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out

of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

PS-18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness

[was] under his feet.

PS-18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly

upon the wings of the wind.

PS-18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round

about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.

PS-18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick

clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.

PS-18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest

gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.

PS-18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he

shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

PS-18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the

foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD,

at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

PS-18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many

waters.

PS-18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them

which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

PS-18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the

LORD was my stay.

PS-18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he

delivered me, because he delighted in me.

PS-18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;

according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

PS-18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not

wickedly departed from my God.

PS-18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not

put away his statutes from me.

PS-18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from

mine iniquity.

PS-18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my

righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his

eyesight.

PS-18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with

an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;

PS-18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the

froward thou wilt show thyself froward.

PS-18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring

down high looks.

PS-18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will

enlighten my darkness.

PS-18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God

have I leaped over a wall.

PS-18:30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the

LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.

PS-18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save

our God?

PS-18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh

my way perfect.

PS-18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me

upon my high places.

PS-18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is

broken by mine arms.

PS-18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:

and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath

made me great.

PS-18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did

not slip.

PS-18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:

neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

PS-18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:

they are fallen under my feet.

PS-18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:

thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

PS-18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that

I might destroy them that hate me.

PS-18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even]

unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

PS-18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:

I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

PS-18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;

[and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people

[whom] I have not known shall serve me.

PS-18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the

strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

PS-18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of

their close places.

PS-18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the

God of my salvation be exalted.

PS-18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people

under me.

PS-18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest

me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered

me from the violent man.

PS-18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among

the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

PS-18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth

mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

*PS-19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens

declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his

handiwork.

PS-19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night

showeth knowledge.

PS-19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice

is not heard.

PS-19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their

words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle

for the sun,

PS-19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

[and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

PS-19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his

circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the

heat thereof.

PS-19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul:

the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

PS-19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the

heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the

eyes.

PS-19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the

judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

PS-19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much

fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

PS-19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in

keeping of them [there is] great reward.

PS-19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from

secret [faults].

PS-19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins];

let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and

I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

PS-19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my

heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my

redeemer.

*PS-20:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear

thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend

thee;

PS-20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee

out of Zion;

PS-20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt

sacrifice; Selah.

PS-20:4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all

thy counsel.

PS-20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our

God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy

petitions.

PS-20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will

hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his

right hand.

PS-20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we

will remember the name of the LORD our God.

PS-20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and

stand upright.

PS-20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

*PS-21:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall

joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly

shall he rejoice!

PS-21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not

withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

PS-21:3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:

thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

PS-21:4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him,

[even] length of days for ever and ever.

PS-21:5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and

majesty hast thou laid upon him.

PS-21:6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast

made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

PS-21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy

of the most High he shall not be moved.

PS-21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right

hand shall find out those that hate thee.

PS-21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of

thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and

the fire shall devour them.

PS-21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and

their seed from among the children of men.

PS-21:11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a

mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].

PS-21:12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when]

thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against

the face of them.

PS-21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will

we sing and praise thy power.

*PS-22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of

David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou

so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?

PS-22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;

and in the night season, and am not silent.

PS-22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the

praises of Israel.

PS-22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou

didst deliver them.

PS-22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted

in thee, and were not confounded.

PS-22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and

despised of the people.

PS-22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out

the lip, they shake the head, [saying],

PS-22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let

him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

PS-22:9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou

didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.

PS-22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God

from my mother's belly.

PS-22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there

is] none to help.

PS-22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan

have beset me round.

PS-22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening

and a roaring lion.

PS-22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of

joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my

bowels.

PS-22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue

cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of

death.

PS-22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked

have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

PS-22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.

PS-22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my

vesture.

PS-22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,

haste thee to help me.

PS-22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the

power of the dog.

PS-22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me

from the horns of the unicorns.

PS-22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst

of the congregation will I praise thee.

PS-22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of

Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

PS-22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of

the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when

he cried unto him, he heard.

PS-22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation:

I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

PS-22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise

the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

PS-22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto

the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship

before thee.

PS-22:28 For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the

governor among the nations.

PS-22:29 All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship:

all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and

none can keep alive his own soul.

PS-22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the

Lord for a generation.

PS-22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness

unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].

*PS-23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall

not want.

PS-23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth

me beside the still waters.

PS-23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for his name's sake.

PS-23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and

thy staff they comfort me.

PS-23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine

enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

PS-23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days

of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

*PS-24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the

fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

PS-24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it

upon the floods.

PS-24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall

stand in his holy place?

PS-24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not

lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

PS-24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and

righteousness from the God of his salvation.

PS-24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that

seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

PS-24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

PS-24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty,

the LORD mighty in battle.

PS-24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

PS-24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is]

the King of glory. Selah.

*PS-25:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my

soul.

PS-25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let

not mine enemies triumph over me.

PS-25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be

ashamed which transgress without cause.

PS-25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

PS-25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the

God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

PS-25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy

lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.

PS-25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:

according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake,

O LORD.

PS-25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach

sinners in the way.

PS-25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he

teach his way.

PS-25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto

such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

PS-25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for

it [is] great.

PS-25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he

teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

PS-25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall

inherit the earth.

PS-25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him;

and he will show them his covenant.

PS-25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall

pluck my feet out of the net.

PS-25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am]

desolate and afflicted.

PS-25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou

me out of my distresses.

PS-25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all

my sins.

PS-25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate

me with cruel hatred.

PS-25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed;

for I put my trust in thee.

PS-25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait

on thee.

PS-25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

*PS-26:1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked

in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore]

I shall not slide.

PS-26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my

heart.

PS-26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have

walked in thy truth.

PS-26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in

with dissemblers.

PS-26:5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not

sit with the wicked.

PS-26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass

thine altar, O LORD:

PS-26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and

tell of all thy wondrous works.

PS-26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the

place where thine honour dwelleth.

PS-26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody

men:

PS-26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is

full of bribes.

PS-26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me,

and be merciful unto me.

PS-26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations

will I bless the LORD.

*PS-27:1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my

salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my

life; of whom shall I be afraid?

PS-27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came

upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

PS-27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall

not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I

[be] confident.

PS-27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek

after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of

my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his

temple.

PS-27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his

pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he

shall set me up upon a rock.

PS-27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies

round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle

sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto

the LORD.

PS-27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy

also upon me, and answer me.

PS-27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto

thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

PS-27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant

away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither

forsake me, O God of my salvation.

PS-27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD

will take me up.

PS-27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,

because of mine enemies.

PS-27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for

false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out

cruelty.

PS-27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the

goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

PS-27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall

strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

*PS-28:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my

rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I

become like them that go down into the pit.

PS-28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,

when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

PS-28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers

of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief

[is] in their hearts.

PS-28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the

wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of

their hands; render to them their desert.

PS-28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the

operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build

them up.

PS-28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice

of my supplications.

PS-28:7 The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart

trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly

rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

PS-28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving

strength of his anointed.

PS-28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them

also, and lift them up for ever.

*PS-29:1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give

unto the LORD glory and strength.

PS-29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship

the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

PS-29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of

glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.

PS-29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the

LORD [is] full of majesty.

PS-29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD

breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

PS-29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and

Sirion like a young unicorn.

PS-29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

PS-29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD

shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

PS-29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and

discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak

of [his] glory.

PS-29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth

King for ever.

PS-29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD

will bless his people with peace.

*PS-30:1 A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of

David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,

and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

PS-30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed

me.

PS-30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:

thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

PS-30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks

at the remembrance of his holiness.

PS-30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour

[is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in

the morning.

PS-30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

PS-30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand

strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.

PS-30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made

supplication.

PS-30:9 What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to

the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

PS-30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my

helper.

PS-30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou

hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

PS-30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and

not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for

ever.

*PS-31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O

LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in

thy righteousness.

PS-31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou

my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

PS-31:3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for

thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

PS-31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for

me: for thou [art] my strength.

PS-31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed

me, O LORD God of truth.

PS-31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I

trust in the LORD.

PS-31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast

considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

PS-31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou

hast set my feet in a large room.

PS-31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine

eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.

PS-31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with

sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my

bones are consumed.

PS-31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially

among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that

did see me without fled from me.

PS-31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a

broken vessel.

PS-31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on

every side: while they took counsel together against me, they

devised to take away my life.

PS-31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my

God.

PS-31:15 My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of

mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

PS-31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for

thy mercies' sake.

PS-31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon

thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the

grave.

PS-31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak

grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

PS-31:19 [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid

up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them

that trust in thee before the sons of men!

PS-31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from

the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion

from the strife of tongues.

PS-31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his

marvellous kindness in a strong city.

PS-31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine

eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications

when I cried unto thee.

PS-31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD

preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud

doer.

PS-31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,

all ye that hope in the LORD.

*PS-32:1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose]

transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

PS-32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not

iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.

PS-32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my

roaring all the day long.

PS-32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my

moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

PS-32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have

I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the

LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

PS-32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in

a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great

waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

PS-32:7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from

trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

Selah.

PS-32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which

thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

PS-32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have

no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and

bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

PS-32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that

trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

PS-32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and

shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

*PS-33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is

comely for the upright.

PS-33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the

psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.

PS-33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud

noise.

PS-33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works

[are done] in truth.

PS-33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full

of the goodness of the LORD.

PS-33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all

the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

PS-33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:

he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

PS-33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants

of the world stand in awe of him.

PS-33:9 For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it

stood fast.

PS-33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:

he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

PS-33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts

of his heart to all generations.

PS-33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and]

the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

PS-33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons

of men.

PS-33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all

the inhabitants of the earth.

PS-33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all

their works.

PS-33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a

mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

PS-33:17 An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he

deliver [any] by his great strength.

PS-33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear

him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

PS-33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them

alive in famine.

PS-33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our

shield.

PS-33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have

trusted in his holy name.

PS-33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope

in thee.

*PS-34:1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour

before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will

bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be]

in my mouth.

PS-34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble

shall hear [thereof], and be glad.

PS-34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name

together.

PS-34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me

from all my fears.

PS-34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their

faces were not ashamed.

PS-34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved

him out of all his troubles.

PS-34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that

fear him, and delivereth them.

PS-34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is]

the man [that] trusteth in him.

PS-34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want

to them that fear him.

PS-34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they

that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].

PS-34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you

the fear of the LORD.

PS-34:12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth

[many] days, that he may see good?

PS-34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking

guile.

PS-34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue

it.

PS-34:15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his

ears [are open] unto their cry.

PS-34:16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to

cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

PS-34:17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and

delivereth them out of all their troubles.

PS-34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;

and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

PS-34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the

LORD delivereth him out of them all.

PS-34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

PS-34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the

righteous shall be desolate.

PS-34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none

of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

*PS-35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them

that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

PS-35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine

help.

PS-35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them

that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.

PS-35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after

my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that

devise my hurt.

PS-35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel

of the LORD chase [them].

PS-35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of

the LORD persecute them.

PS-35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a

pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.

PS-35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his

net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction

let him fall.

PS-35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall

rejoice in his salvation.

PS-35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee,

which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,

yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

PS-35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge

[things] that I knew not.

PS-35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my

soul.

PS-35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]

sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer

returned into mine own bosom.

PS-35:14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or]

brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his]

mother.

PS-35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered

themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves

together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me],

and ceased not:

PS-35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon

me with their teeth.

PS-35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from

their destructions, my darling from the lions.

PS-35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I

will praise thee among much people.

PS-35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice

over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me

without a cause.

PS-35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful

matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.

PS-35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and]

said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].

PS-35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD,

be not far from me.

PS-35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto

my cause, my God and my Lord.

PS-35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness;

and let them not rejoice over me.

PS-35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have

it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

PS-35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together

that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and

dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.

PS-35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my

righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be

magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

PS-35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of

thy praise all the day long.

*PS-36:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant

of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my

heart, [that there is] no fear of God before his eyes.

PS-36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his

iniquity be found to be hateful.

PS-36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he

hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.

PS-36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in

a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

PS-36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy

faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

PS-36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy

judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and

beast.

PS-36:7 How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore

the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy

wings.

PS-36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of

thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy

pleasures.

PS-36:9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light

shall we see light.

PS-36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee;

and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

PS-36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not

the hand of the wicked remove me.

PS-36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast

down, and shall not be able to rise.

*PS-37:1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of

evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of

iniquity.

PS-37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and

wither as the green herb.

PS-37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in

the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

PS-37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee

the desires of thine heart.

PS-37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he

shall bring [it] to pass.

PS-37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

and thy judgment as the noonday.

PS-37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not

thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the

man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

PS-37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in

any wise to do evil.

PS-37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon

the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

PS-37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]:

yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall]

not [be].

PS-37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight

themselves in the abundance of peace.

PS-37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon

him with his teeth.

PS-37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day

is coming.

PS-37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent

their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such

as be of upright conversation.

PS-37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their

bows shall be broken.

PS-37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the

riches of many wicked.

PS-37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the

LORD upholdeth the righteous.

PS-37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their

inheritance shall be for ever.

PS-37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the

days of famine they shall be satisfied.

PS-37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the

LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into

smoke shall they consume away.

PS-37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the

righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

PS-37:22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth;

and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.

PS-37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and

he delighteth in his way.

PS-37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for

the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.

PS-37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not

seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

PS-37:26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is]

blessed.

PS-37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

PS-37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his

saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked

shall be cut off.

PS-37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein

for ever.

PS-37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his

tongue talketh of judgment.

PS-37:31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps

shall slide.

PS-37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay

him.

PS-37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn

him when he is judged.

PS-37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt

thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou

shalt see [it].

PS-37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading

himself like a green bay tree.

PS-37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I

sought him, but he could not be found.

PS-37:37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the

end of [that] man [is] peace.

PS-37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the

end of the wicked shall be cut off.

PS-37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD:

[he is] their strength in the time of trouble.

PS-37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he

shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they

trust in him.

*PS-38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD,

rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot

displeasure.

PS-38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth

me sore.

PS-38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine

anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

PS-38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy

burden they are too heavy for me.

PS-38:5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my

foolishness.

PS-38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning

all the day long.

PS-38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and

[there is] no soundness in my flesh.

PS-38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of

the disquietness of my heart.

PS-38:9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is

not hid from thee.

PS-38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the

light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

PS-38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and

my kinsmen stand afar off.

PS-38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]:

and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine

deceits all the day long.

PS-38:13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a

dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

PS-38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose

mouth [are] no reproofs.

PS-38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord

my God.

PS-38:16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should

rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify

[themselves] against me.

PS-38:17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is]

continually before me.

PS-38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for

my sin.

PS-38:19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong:

and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

PS-38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine

adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].

PS-38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

*PS-39:1 To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of

David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with

my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked

is before me.

PS-39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from

good; and my sorrow was stirred.

PS-39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire

burned: [then] spake I with my tongue,

PS-39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my

days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].

PS-39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and

mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his

best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.

PS-39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are

disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who

shall gather them.

PS-39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.

PS-39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the

reproach of the foolish.

PS-39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst

[it].

PS-39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the

blow of thine hand.

PS-39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,

thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every

man [is] vanity. Selah.

PS-39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold

not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee,

[and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].

PS-39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go

hence, and be no more.

*PS-40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited

patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my

cry.

PS-40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the

miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my

goings.

PS-40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise

unto our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in

the LORD.

PS-40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust,

and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

PS-40:5 Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which]

thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they

cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare

and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.

PS-40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears

hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not

required.

PS-40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it

is] written of me,

PS-40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is]

within my heart.

PS-40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:

lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

PS-40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I

have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not

concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great

congregation.

PS-40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD:

let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

PS-40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine

iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to

look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my

heart faileth me.

PS-40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste

to help me.

PS-40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek

after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put

to shame that wish me evil.

PS-40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that

say unto me, Aha, aha.

PS-40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in

thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD

be magnified.

PS-40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon

me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my

God.

*PS-41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is]

he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time

of trouble.

PS-41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he

shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him

unto the will of his enemies.

PS-41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:

thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

PS-41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I

have sinned against thee.

PS-41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and

his name perish?

PS-41:6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his

heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he

telleth [it].

PS-41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me

do they devise my hurt.

PS-41:8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and

[now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

PS-41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which

did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

PS-41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,

that I may requite them.

PS-41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine

enemy doth not triumph over me.

PS-41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and

settest me before thy face for ever.

PS-41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,

and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

*PS-42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul

after thee, O God.

PS-42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when

shall I come and appear before God?

PS-42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they

continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:4 When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:

for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the

house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude

that kept holyday.

PS-42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou

disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him

[for] the help of his countenance.

PS-42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will

I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,

from the hill Mizar.

PS-42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:

all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

PS-42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the

daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my

prayer unto the God of my life.

PS-42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?

why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

PS-42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me;

while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou

disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise

him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

*PS-43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly

nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

PS-43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou

cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the

enemy?

PS-43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me;

let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

PS-43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my

exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my

God.

PS-43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou

disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him,

[who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

*PS-44:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,

[what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

PS-44:2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand,

and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and

cast them out.

PS-44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own

sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand,

and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou

hadst a favour unto them.

PS-44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

PS-44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy

name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

PS-44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword

save me.

PS-44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put

them to shame that hated us.

PS-44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name

for ever. Selah.

PS-44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest

not forth with our armies.

PS-44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they

which hate us spoil for themselves.

PS-44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and

hast scattered us among the heathen.

PS-44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not

increase [thy wealth] by their price.

PS-44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn

and a derision to them that are round about us.

PS-44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of

the head among the people.

PS-44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame

of my face hath covered me,

PS-44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;

by reason of the enemy and avenger.

PS-44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten

thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

PS-44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps

declined from thy way;

PS-44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,

and covered us with the shadow of death.

PS-44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched

out our hands to a strange god;

PS-44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the

secrets of the heart.

PS-44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we

are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

PS-44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not

off for ever.

PS-44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our

affliction and our oppression?

PS-44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly

cleaveth unto the earth.

PS-44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

*PS-45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of

Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My 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.

PS-45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is

poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

PS-45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with

thy glory and thy majesty.

PS-45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth

and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach

thee terrible things.

PS-45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's

enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee.

PS-45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre

of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre.

PS-45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:

therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of

gladness above thy fellows.

PS-45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and]

cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee

glad.

PS-45:9 Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon

thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

PS-45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine

ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

PS-45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he

[is] thy Lord; and worship thou him.

PS-45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;

[even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

PS-45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her

clothing [is] of wrought gold.

PS-45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of

needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be

brought unto thee.

PS-45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they

shall enter into the king's palace.

PS-45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou

mayest make princes in all the earth.

PS-45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all

generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and

ever.

*PS-46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song

upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present

help in trouble.

PS-46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,

and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

PS-46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled,

[though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

PS-46:4 [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad

the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most

High.

PS-46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God shall help her, [and that] right early.

PS-46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered

his voice, the earth melted.

PS-46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge. Selah.

PS-46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he

hath made in the earth.

PS-46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he

breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth

the chariot in the fire.

PS-46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted

among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

PS-46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge. Selah.

*PS-47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O

clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of

triumph.

PS-47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great

King over all the earth.

PS-47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations

under our feet.

PS-47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency

of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

PS-47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of

a trumpet.

PS-47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our

King, sing praises.

PS-47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises

with understanding.

PS-47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the

throne of his holiness.

PS-47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, [even]

the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth

[belong] unto God: he is greatly exalted.

*PS-48:1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is]

the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in]

the mountain of his holiness.

PS-48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,

[is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the

great King.

PS-48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

PS-48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by

together.

PS-48:5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled,

[and] hasted away.

PS-48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a

woman in travail.

PS-48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

PS-48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the

LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for

ever. Selah.

PS-48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the

midst of thy temple.

PS-48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto

the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

PS-48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be

glad, because of thy judgments.

PS-48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the

towers thereof.

PS-48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that

ye may tell [it] to the generation following.

PS-48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be

our guide [even] unto death.

*PS-49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of

the world:

PS-49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

PS-49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my

heart [shall be] of understanding.

PS-49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my

dark saying upon the harp.

PS-49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the

iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

PS-49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in

the multitude of their riches;

PS-49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor

give to God a ransom for him:

PS-49:8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it

ceaseth for ever:)

PS-49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see

corruption.

PS-49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and

the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

PS-49:11 Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall

continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all

generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.

PS-49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is

like the beasts [that] perish.

PS-49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity

approve their sayings. Selah.

PS-49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed

on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the

morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their

dwelling.

PS-49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:

for he shall receive me. Selah.

PS-49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the

glory of his house is increased;

PS-49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his

glory shall not descend after him.

PS-49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men]

will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

PS-49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they

shall never see light.

PS-49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like

the beasts [that] perish.

*PS-50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath

spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the

going down thereof.

PS-50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

PS-50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire

shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round

about him.

PS-50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the

earth, that he may judge his people.

PS-50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made

a covenant with me by sacrifice.

PS-50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God

[is] judge himself. Selah.

PS-50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I

will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

PS-50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt

offerings, [to have been] continually before me.

PS-50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats

out of thy folds.

PS-50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the

cattle upon a thousand hills.

PS-50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild

beasts of the field [are] mine.

PS-50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world

[is] mine, and the fulness thereof.

PS-50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of

goats?

PS-50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the

most High:

PS-50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver

thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

PS-50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to

declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant

in thy mouth?

PS-50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words

behind thee.

PS-50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with

him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

PS-50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth

deceit.

PS-50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou

slanderest thine own mother's son.

PS-50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou

thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but]

I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

PS-50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear

[you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.

PS-50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that

ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation

of God.

*PS-51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan

the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot outmy

transgressions.

PS-51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me

from my sin.

PS-51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is]

ever before me.

PS-51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this]

evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou

speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.

PS-51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my

mother conceive me.

PS-51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in

the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

PS-51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and

I shall be whiter than snow.

PS-51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones

[which] thou hast broken may rejoice.

PS-51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine

iniquities.

PS-51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right

spirit within me.

PS-51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy

holy spirit from me.

PS-51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me

[with thy] free spirit.

PS-51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners

shall be converted unto thee.

PS-51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my

salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

PS-51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show

forth thy praise.

PS-51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]:

thou delightest not in burnt offering.

PS-51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken

and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

PS-51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the

walls of Jerusalem.

PS-51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of

righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:

then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

*PS-52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David,

when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him,

David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou

thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God

[endureth] continually.

PS-52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor,

working deceitfully.

PS-52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than

to speak righteousness. Selah.

PS-52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful

tongue.

PS-52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take

thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root

thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

PS-52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh

at him:

PS-52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength;

but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened

himself in his wickedness.

PS-52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God:

I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

PS-52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]:

and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.

*PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David. 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.

PS-53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to

see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.

PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether

become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my

people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

PS-53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for

God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against]

thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised

them.

PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!

When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall

rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

*PS-54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David

hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me

by thy strength.

PS-54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

PS-54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors

seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

PS-54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them

that uphold my soul.

PS-54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in

thy truth.

PS-54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy

name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

PS-54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine

eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.

*PS-55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself

from my supplication.

PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint,

and make a noise;

PS-55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the

oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in

wrath they hate me.

PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of

death are fallen upon me.

PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror

hath overwhelmed me.

PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]

would I fly away, and be at rest.

PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the

wilderness. Selah.

PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and]

tempest.

PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have

seen violence and strife in the city.

PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.

PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile

depart not from her streets.

PS-55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I

could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that]

did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself

from him:

PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine

acquaintance.

PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the

house of God in company.

PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick

into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among

them.

PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall

save me.

PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry

aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle

[that was] against me: for there were many with me.

PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth

of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear

not God.

PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace

with him: he hath broken his covenant.

PS-55:21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but

war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet

[were] they drawn swords.

PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain

thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

PS-55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of

destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half

their days; but I will trust in thee.

*PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam

of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful

unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily

oppresseth me.

PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be]

many that fight against me, O thou most High.

PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

PS-56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my

trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

PS-56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]

against me for evil.

PS-56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

PS-56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast

down the people, O God.

PS-56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy

bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

PS-56:9 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn

back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

PS-56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I

praise [his] word.

PS-56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what

man can do unto me.

PS-56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises

unto thee.

PS-56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not

[thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God

in the light of the living?

*PS-57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David,

when he fled from Saul in the cave. 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.

PS-57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth

[all things] for me.

PS-57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the

reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send

forth his mercy and his truth.

PS-57:4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them

that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are]

spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

PS-57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy

glory [be] above all the earth.

PS-57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed

down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof

they are fallen [themselves]. Selah.

PS-57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing

and give praise.

PS-57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]

will awake early.

PS-57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will

sing unto thee among the nations.

PS-57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy

truth unto the clouds.

PS-57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy

glory [be] above all the earth.

*PS-58:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do

ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge

uprightly, O ye sons of men?

PS-58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence

of your hands in the earth.

PS-58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray

as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

PS-58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they

are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;

PS-58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,

charming never so wisely.

PS-58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the

great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

PS-58:7 Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually:

[when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as

cut in pieces.

PS-58:8 As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass

away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not

see the sun.

PS-58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them

away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.

PS-58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:

he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

PS-58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for

the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

*PS-59:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David;

when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver

me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up

against me.

PS-59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me

from bloody men.

PS-59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are

gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my

sin, O LORD.

PS-59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:

awake to help me, and behold.

PS-59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,

awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked

transgressors. Selah.

PS-59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog,

and go round about the city.

PS-59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in

their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?

PS-59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have

all the heathen in derision.

PS-59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God

[is] my defence.

PS-59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me

see [my desire] upon mine enemies.

PS-59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by

thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

PS-59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their

lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and

lying [which] they speak.

PS-59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they

[may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto

the ends of the earth. Selah.

PS-59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a

noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

PS-59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if

they be not satisfied.

PS-59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of

thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and

refuge in the day of my trouble.

PS-59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my

defence, [and] the God of my mercy.

*PS-60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of

David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with

Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley

of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast

scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us

again.

PS-60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:

heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

PS-60:3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made

us to drink the wine of astonishment.

PS-60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it

may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

PS-60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right

hand, and hear me.

PS-60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will

divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

PS-60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also

[is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

PS-60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

PS-60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead

me into Edom?

PS-60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and

[thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?

PS-60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of

man.

PS-60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]

shall tread down our enemies.

*PS-61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

PS-61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my

heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than

PS-61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong

tower from the enemy.

PS-61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in

the covert of thy wings. Selah.

PS-61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given

[me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

PS-61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as

many generations.

PS-61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and

truth, [which] may preserve him.

PS-61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may

daily perform my vows.

*PS-62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

PS-62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my

defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

PS-62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye

shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and

as] a tottering fence.

PS-62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency:

they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they

curse inwardly. Selah.

PS-62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation

[is] from him.

PS-62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my

defence; I shall not be moved.

PS-62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my

strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.

PS-62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your

heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

PS-62:9 Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high

degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are]

altogether [lighter] than vanity.

PS-62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:

if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].

PS-62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that

power [belongeth] unto God.

PS-62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou

renderest to every man according to his work.

*PS-63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of

Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul

thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and

thirsty land, where no water is;

PS-63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee

in the sanctuary.

PS-63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my

lips shall praise thee.

PS-63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my

hands in thy name.

PS-63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

PS-63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee

in the [night] watches.

PS-63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow

of thy wings will I rejoice.

PS-63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand

upholdeth me.

PS-63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go

into the lower parts of the earth.

PS-63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion

for foxes.

PS-63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that

sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak

lies shall be stopped.

*PS-64:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice,

O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

PS-64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the

insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

PS-64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their

bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

PS-64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly

do they shoot at him, and fear not.

PS-64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they

commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

PS-64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent

search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and

the heart, [is] deep.

PS-64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly

shall they be wounded.

PS-64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon

themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

PS-64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of

God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

PS-64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall

trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

*PS-65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the

vow be performed.

PS-65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh

come.

PS-65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our

transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

PS-65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to

approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall

be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy

temple.

PS-65:5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer

us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the

ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:

PS-65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;

[being] girded with power:

PS-65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their

waves, and the tumult of the people.

PS-65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid

at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and

evening to rejoice.

PS-65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly

enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water:

thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

PS-65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou

settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers:

thou blessest the springing thereof.

PS-65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths

drop fatness.

PS-65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and

the little hills rejoice on every side.

PS-65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also

are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

*PS-66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful

noise unto God, all ye lands:

PS-66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise

glorious.

PS-66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works!

through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit

themselves unto thee.

PS-66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto

thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.

PS-66:5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]

doing toward the children of men.

PS-66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the

flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

PS-66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the

nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

PS-66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his

praise to be heard:

PS-66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our

feet to be moved.

PS-66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as

silver is tried.

PS-66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction

upon our loins.

PS-66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went

through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into

a wealthy [place].

PS-66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will

pay thee my vows,

PS-66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,

when I was in trouble.

PS-66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,

with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.

Selah.

PS-66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will

declare what he hath done for my soul.

PS-66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled

with my tongue.

PS-66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not

hear [me]:

PS-66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to

the voice of my prayer.

PS-66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,

nor his mercy from me.

*PS-67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to

shine upon us; Selah.

PS-67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health

among all nations.

PS-67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou

shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon

earth. Selah.

PS-67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,

[even] our own God, shall bless us.

PS-67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall

fear him.

*PS-68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let

God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate

him flee before him.

PS-68:2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax

melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the

presence of God.

PS-68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before

God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

PS-68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that

rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

PS-68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

[is] God in his holy habitation.

PS-68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out

those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a

dry [land].

PS-68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when

thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

PS-68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the

presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence

of God, the God of Israel.

PS-68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou

didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

PS-68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast

prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

PS-68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of

those that published [it].

PS-68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at

home divided the spoil.

PS-68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be

as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers

with yellow gold.

PS-68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]

as snow in Salmon.

PS-68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high

hill [as] the hill of Bashan.

PS-68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]

God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for

ever.

PS-68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]

thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in

the holy [place].

PS-68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity

captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the

rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].

PS-68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with

benefits,even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

PS-68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and

unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.

PS-68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the

hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

PS-68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will

bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:

PS-68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]

enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

PS-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of

my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

PS-68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments

[followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with

timbrels.

PS-68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,

from the fountain of Israel.

PS-68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the

princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun,

[and] the princes of Naphtali.

PS-68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,

that which thou hast wrought for us.

PS-68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring

presents unto thee.

PS-68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the

bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit

himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that]

delight in war.

PS-68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon

stretch out her hands unto God.

PS-68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises

unto the Lord; Selah:

PS-68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which

were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a

mighty voice.

PS-68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over

Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.

PS-68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the

God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his]

people. Blessed [be] God.

*PS-69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of

David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

PS-69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am

come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

PS-69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes

fail while I wait for my God.

PS-69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the

hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine

enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I

took not away.

PS-69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not

hid from thee.

PS-69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be

ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded

for my sake, O God of Israel.

PS-69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath

covered my face.

PS-69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien

unto my mother's children.

PS-69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the

reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

PS-69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that

was to my reproach.

PS-69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a

proverb to them.

PS-69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]

the song of the drunkards.

PS-69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in]

an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,

in the truth of thy salvation.

PS-69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me

be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

PS-69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the

deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

PS-69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn

unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

PS-69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in

trouble: hear me speedily.

PS-69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me

because of mine enemies.

PS-69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my

dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.

PS-69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of

heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was]

none; and for comforters, but I found none.

PS-69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst

they gave me vinegar to drink.

PS-69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and [that

which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a

trap.

PS-69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make

their loins continually to shake.

PS-69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy

wrathful anger take hold of them.

PS-69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell

in their tents.

PS-69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and

they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

PS-69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come

into thy righteousness.

PS-69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and

not be written with the righteous.

PS-69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God,

set me up on high.

PS-69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will

magnify him with thanksgiving.

PS-69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox

[or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

PS-69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your

heart shall live that seek God.

PS-69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his

prisoners.

PS-69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and

every thing that moveth therein.

PS-69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of

Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

PS-69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and

they that love his name shall dwell therein.

*PS-70:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to

remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to

help me, O LORD.

PS-70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my

soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that

desire my hurt.

PS-70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that

say, Aha, aha.

PS-70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be

magnified.

PS-70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:

thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

*PS-71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put

to confusion.

PS-71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:

incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

PS-71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may

continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for

thou [art] my rock and my fortress.

PS-71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out

of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

PS-71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust

from my youth.

PS-71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he

that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be]

continually of thee.

PS-71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong

refuge.

PS-71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy

honour all the day.

PS-71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not

when my strength faileth.

PS-71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay

wait for my soul take counsel together,

PS-71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;

for [there is] none to deliver [him].

PS-71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my

help.

PS-71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are

adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and

dishonour that seek my hurt.

PS-71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee

more and more.

PS-71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy

salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].

PS-71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make

mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.

PS-71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto

have I declared thy wondrous works.

PS-71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake

me not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this] generation,

[and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.

PS-71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast

done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!

PS-71:20 [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,

shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the

depths of the earth.

PS-71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on

every side.

PS-71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy

truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou

Holy One of Israel.

PS-71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;

and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

PS-71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the

day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto

shame, that seek my hurt.

*PS-72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O

God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

PS-72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy

poor with judgment.

PS-72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the

little hills, by righteousness.

PS-72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the

children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

PS-72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,

throughout all generations.

PS-72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as

showers [that] water the earth.

PS-72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance

of peace so long as the moon endureth.

PS-72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from

the river unto the ends of the earth.

PS-72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;

and his enemies shall lick the dust.

PS-72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring

presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

PS-72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations

shall serve him.

PS-72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor

also, and [him] that hath no helper.

PS-72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the

souls of the needy.

PS-72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:

and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

PS-72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the

gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually;

[and] daily shall he be praised.

PS-72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the

top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:

and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

PS-72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be

continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him:

all nations shall call him blessed.

PS-72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only

doeth wondrous things.

PS-72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let

the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.

PS-72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

*PS-73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even]

to such as are of a clean heart.

PS-73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had

well nigh slipped.

PS-73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the

prosperity of the wicked.

PS-73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their

strength [is] firm.

PS-73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are

they plagued like [other] men.

PS-73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;

violence covereth them [as] a garment.

PS-73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than

heart could wish.

PS-73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]

oppression: they speak loftily.

PS-73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their

tongue walketh through the earth.

PS-73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a

full [cup] are wrung out to them.

PS-73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge

in the most High?

PS-73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the

world; they increase [in] riches.

PS-73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed

my hands in innocency.

PS-73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened

every morning.

PS-73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend

[against] the generation of thy children.

PS-73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for

me;

PS-73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then]

understood I their end.

PS-73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou

castedst them down into destruction.

PS-73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!

they are utterly consumed with terrors.

PS-73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou

awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

PS-73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my

reins.

PS-73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast

before thee.

PS-73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast

holden [me] by my right hand.

PS-73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward

receive me [to] glory.

PS-73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none

upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.

PS-73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the

strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

PS-73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou

hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

PS-73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put

my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

*PS-74:1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off

for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy

pasture?

PS-74:2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased

of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed;

this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

PS-74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even]

all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

PS-74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;

they set up their ensigns [for] signs.

PS-74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes

upon the thick trees.

PS-74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once

with axes and hammers.

PS-74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have

defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the

ground.

PS-74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:

they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

PS-74:9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:

neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.

PS-74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the

enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

PS-74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?

pluck [it] out of thy bosom.

PS-74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the

midst of the earth.

PS-74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest

the heads of the dragons in the waters.

PS-74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and]

gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

PS-74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou

driedst up mighty rivers.

PS-74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou

hast prepared the light and the sun.

PS-74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast

made summer and winter.

PS-74:18 Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD,

and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

PS-74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the

multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy

poor for ever.

PS-74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of

the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

PS-74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor

and needy praise thy name.

PS-74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the

foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

PS-74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of

those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

*PS-75:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of

Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we

give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works

declare.

PS-75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge

uprightly.

PS-75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:

I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

PS-75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the

wicked, Lift not up the horn:

PS-75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff

neck.

PS-75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from

the west, nor from the south.

PS-75:7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth

up another.

PS-75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the

wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the

same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall

wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

PS-75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the

God of Jacob.

PS-75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but]

the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

*PS-76:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of

Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.

PS-76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place

in Zion.

PS-76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and

the sword, and the battle. Selah.

PS-76:4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the

mountains of prey.

PS-76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their

sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

PS-76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and

horse are cast into a dead sleep.

PS-76:7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand

in thy sight when once thou art angry?

PS-76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the

earth feared, and was still,

PS-76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the

earth. Selah.

PS-76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the

remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

PS-76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be

round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

PS-76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is]

terrible to the kings of the earth.

*PS-77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I

cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and

he gave ear unto me.

PS-77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran

in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

PS-77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my

spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

PS-77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I

cannot speak.

PS-77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient

times.

PS-77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune

with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

PS-77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be

favourable no more?

PS-77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise

fail for evermore?

PS-77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut

up his tender mercies? Selah.

PS-77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will

remember] the years of the right hand of the most High.

PS-77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will

remember thy wonders of old.

PS-77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy

doings.

PS-77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so]

great a God as [our] God?

PS-77:14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast

declared thy strength among the people.

PS-77:15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the

sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

PS-77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they

were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

PS-77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound:

thine arrows also went abroad.

PS-77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the

lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

PS-17:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great

waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

PS-77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of

Moses and Aaron.

*PS-78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:

incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

PS-78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark

sayings of old:

PS-78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told

us.

PS-78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to

the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength,

and his wonderful works that he hath done.

PS-78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a

law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should

make them known to their children:

PS-78:6 That the generation to come might know [them, even] the

children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare

[them] to their children:

PS-78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget

the works of God, but keep his commandments:

PS-78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and

rebellious generation; a generation [that] set not their heart

aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

PS-78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying

bows, turned back in the day of battle.

PS-78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk

in his law;

PS-78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had

showed them.

PS-78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,

in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

PS-78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;

and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

PS-78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all

the night with a light of fire.

PS-78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them]

drink as [out of] the great depths.

PS-78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused

waters to run down like rivers.

PS-78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the

most High in the wilderness.

PS-78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for

their lust.

PS-78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish

a table in the wilderness?

PS-78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,

and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he

provide flesh for his people?

PS-78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a

fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against

Israel;

PS-78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in

his salvation:

PS-78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and

opened the doors of heaven,

PS-78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had

given them of the corn of heaven.

PS-78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

PS-78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by

his power he brought in the south wind.

PS-78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered

fowls like as the sand of the sea:

PS-78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round

about their habitations.

PS-78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them

their own desire;

PS-78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while

their meat [was] yet in their mouths,

PS-78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest

of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.

PS-78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for

his wondrous works.

PS-78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and

their years in trouble.

PS-78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they

returned and inquired early after God.

PS-78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the

high God their redeemer.

PS-78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and

they lied unto him with their tongues.

PS-78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were

they stedfast in his covenant.

PS-78:38 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their]

iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he

his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

PS-78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind

that passeth away, and cometh not again.

PS-78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]

grieve him in the desert!

PS-78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the

Holy One of Israel.

PS-78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he

delivered them from the enemy.

PS-78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders

in the field of Zoan:

PS-78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their

floods, that they could not drink.

PS-78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which

devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

PS-78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and

their labour unto the locust.

PS-78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore

trees with frost.

PS-78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their

flocks to hot thunderbolts.

PS-78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,

and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among

them].

PS-78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul

from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

PS-78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of

[their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

PS-78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and

guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

PS-78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but

the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

PS-78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,

[even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.

PS-78:55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided

them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to

dwell in their tents.

PS-78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and

kept not his testimonies:

PS-78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their

fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

PS-78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

PS-78:59 When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly

abhorred Israel:

PS-78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent

[which] he placed among men;

PS-78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his

glory into the enemy's hand.

PS-78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was

wroth with his inheritance.

PS-78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens

were not given to marriage.

PS-78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made

no lamentation.

PS-78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a

mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

PS-78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put

them to a perpetual reproach.

PS-78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose

not the tribe of Ephraim:

PS-78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he

loved.

PS-78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like

the earth which he hath established for ever.

PS-78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the

sheepfolds:

PS-78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him

to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

PS-78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;

and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

*PS-79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into

thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have

laid Jerusalem on heaps.

PS-79:2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be]

meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto

the beasts of the earth.

PS-79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about

Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].

PS-79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and

derision to them that are round about us.

PS-79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy

jealousy burn like fire?

PS-79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known

thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

PS-79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his

dwelling place.

PS-79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy

tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

PS-79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy

name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's

sake.

PS-79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God?

let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the

revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.

PS-79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee;

according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that

are appointed to die;

PS-79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their

bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O

Lord.

PS-79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give

thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all

generations.

*PS-80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of

Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph

like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine

forth.

PS-80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy

strength, and come [and] save us.

PS-80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and

we shall be saved.

PS-80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against

the prayer of thy people?

PS-80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest

them tears to drink in great measure.

PS-80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our

enemies laugh among themselves.

PS-80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to

shine; and we shall be saved.

PS-80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast

out the heathen, and planted it.

PS-80:9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to

take deep root, and it filled the land.

PS-80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the

boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.

PS-80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches

unto the river.

PS-80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that

all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

PS-80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild

beast of the field doth devour it.

PS-80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from

heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

PS-80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and

the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish

at the rebuke of thy countenance.

PS-80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon

the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we

will call upon thy name.

PS-80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to

shine; and we shall be saved.

*PS-81:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph.

Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the

God of Jacob.

PS-81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant

harp with the psaltery.

PS-81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time

appointed, on our solemn feast day.

PS-81:4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the

God of Jacob.

PS-81:5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he

went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language

[that] I understood not.

PS-81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were

delivered from the pots.

PS-81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I

answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at

the waters of Meribah. Selah.

PS-81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O

Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

PS-81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt

thou worship any strange god.

PS-81:10 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the

land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

PS-81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel

would none of me.

PS-81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: [and]

they walked in their own counsels.

PS-81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel

had walked in my ways!

PS-81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my

hand against their adversaries.

PS-81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves

unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

PS-81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the

wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied

thee.

*PS-82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of

the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

PS-82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons

of the wicked? Selah.

PS-82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the

afflicted and needy.

PS-82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand

of the wicked.

PS-82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk

on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of

course.

PS-82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are]

children of the most High.

PS-82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the

princes.

PS-82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit

all nations.

*PS-83:1 A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O

God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

PS-83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate

thee have lifted up the head.

PS-83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and

consulted against thy hidden ones.

PS-83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from

[being] a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in

remembrance.

PS-83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they

are confederate against thee:

PS-83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab,

and the Hagarenes;

PS-83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the

inhabitants of Tyre;

PS-83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the

children of Lot. Selah.

PS-83:9 Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera,

as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

PS-83:10 [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for

the earth.

PS-83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all

their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

PS-83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in

possession.

PS-83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before

the wind.

PS-83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth

the mountains on fire;

PS-83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them

afraid with thy storm.

PS-83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy

name, O LORD.

PS-83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let

them be put to shame, and perish:

PS-83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]

JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.

*PS-84:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the

sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of

hosts!

PS-84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of

the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

PS-84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a

nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine

altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

PS-84:4 Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be

still praising thee. Selah.

PS-84:5 Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in

whose heart [are] the ways [of them].

PS-84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;

the rain also filleth the pools.

PS-84:7 They go from strength to strength, [every one of them]

in Zion appeareth before God.

PS-84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of

Jacob. Selah.

PS-84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of

thine anointed.

PS-84:10 For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I

had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell

in the tents of wickedness.

PS-84:11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will

give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them

that walk uprightly.

PS-84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in

thee.

*PS-85:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought

back the captivity of Jacob.

PS-85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast

covered all their sin. Selah.

PS-85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned

[thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

PS-85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger

toward us to cease.

PS-85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out

thine anger to all generations?

PS-85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may

rejoice in thee?

PS-85:7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

PS-85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will

speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not

turn again to folly.

PS-85:9 Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that

glory may dwell in our land.

PS-85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and

peace have kissed [each other].

PS-85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness

shall look down from heaven.

PS-85:12 Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our

land shall yield her increase.

PS-85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us]

in the way of his steps.

*PS-86:1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:

for I [am] poor and needy.

PS-86:2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save

thy servant that trusteth in thee.

PS-86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

PS-86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord,

do I lift up my soul.

PS-86:5 For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and

plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

PS-86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the

voice of my supplications.

PS-86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou

wilt answer me.

PS-86:8 Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord;

neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.

PS-86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship

before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

PS-86:10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou

[art] God alone.

PS-86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:

unite my heart to fear thy name.

PS-86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:

and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

PS-86:13 For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast

delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

PS-86:14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the

assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have

not set thee before them.

PS-86:15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and

gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

PS-86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy

strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

PS-86:17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may

see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me,

and comforted me.

*PS-87:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation

[is] in the holy mountains.

PS-87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the

dwellings of Jacob.

PS-87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. selah.

PS-87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that

know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man]

was born there.

PS-87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born

in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

PS-87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people,

[that] this [man] was born there. Selah.

PS-87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall

be there]: all my springs [are] in thee.

*PS-88:1 A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief

Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before

thee:

PS-88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto

my cry;

PS-88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth

nigh unto the grave.

PS-88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am

as a man [that hath] no strength:

PS-88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the

grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from

thy hand.

PS-88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the

deeps.

PS-88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted

[me] with all thy waves. Selah.

PS-88:8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou

hast made me an abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I

cannot come forth.

PS-88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have

called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

PS-88:10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead

arise [and] praise thee? Selah.

PS-88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or]

thy faithfulness in destruction?

PS-88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy

righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

PS-88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning

shall my prayer prevent thee.

PS-88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou

thy face from me?

PS-88:15 I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up:

[while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

PS-88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me

off.

PS-88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they

compassed me about together.

PS-88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine

acquaintance into darkness.

*PS-89:1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the

mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known

thy faithfulness to all generations.

PS-89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy

faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

PS-89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto

David my servant,

PS-89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy

throne to all generations. Selah.

PS-89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy

faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

PS-89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD?

[who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

PS-89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the

saints, and to be had in reverence of all [them that are] about

him.

PS-89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto

thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

PS-89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves

thereof arise, thou stillest them.

PS-89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;

thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

PS-89:11 The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as

for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

PS-89:12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor

and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

PS-89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high

is thy right hand.

PS-89:14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne:

mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

PS-89:15 Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound:

they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

PS-89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy

righteousness shall they be exalted.

PS-89:17 For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy

favour our horn shall be exalted.

PS-89:18 For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of

Israel [is] our king.

PS-89:19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst,

I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted

[one] chosen out of the people.

PS-89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I

anointed him:

PS-89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also

shall strengthen him.

PS-89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of

wickedness afflict him.

PS-89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and

plague them that hate him.

PS-89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him:

and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

PS-89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand

in the rivers.

PS-89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and

the rock of my salvation.

PS-89:27 Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the

kings of the earth.

PS-89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my

covenant shall stand fast with him.

PS-89:29 His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his

throne as the days of heaven.

PS-89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my

judgments;

PS-89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

PS-89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and

their iniquity with stripes.

PS-89:33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take

from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

PS-89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that

is gone out of my lips.

PS-89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie

unto David.

PS-89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the

sun before me.

PS-89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as]

a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

PS-89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been

wroth with thine anointed.

PS-89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou

hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

PS-89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought

his strong holds to ruin.

PS-89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to

his neighbours.

PS-89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;

thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

PS-89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast

not made him to stand in the battle.

PS-89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne

down to the ground.

PS-89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast

covered him with shame. Selah.

PS-89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall

thy wrath burn like fire?

PS-89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made

all men in vain?

PS-89:48 What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death?

shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

PS-89:49 Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which]

thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

PS-89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I

do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;

PS-89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD;

wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

PS-89:52 Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

*PS-90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been

our dwelling place in all generations.

PS-90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou

hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to

everlasting, thou [art] God.

PS-90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye

children of men.

PS-90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday

when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

PS-90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a

sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.

PS-90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the

evening it is cut down, and withereth.

PS-90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are

we troubled.

PS-90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret

[sins] in the light of thy countenance.

PS-90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend

our years as a tale [that is told].

PS-90:10 The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten;

and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is]

their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we

fly away.

PS-90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to

thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.

PS-90:12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply

[our] hearts unto wisdom.

PS-90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee

concerning thy servants.

PS-90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice

and be glad all our days.

PS-90:15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast

afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

PS-90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory

unto their children.

PS-90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and

establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of

our hands establish thou it.

*PS-91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

PS-91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my

fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

PS-91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the

fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

PS-91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his

wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and

buckler.

PS-91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor]

for the arrow [that] flieth by day;

PS-91:6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness;

[nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.

PS-91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at

thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

PS-91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the

reward of the wicked.

PS-91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge,

[even] the most High, thy habitation;

PS-91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any

plague come nigh thy dwelling.

PS-91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep

thee in all thy ways.

PS-91:12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou

dash thy foot against a stone.

PS-91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young

lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

PS-91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I

deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my

name.

PS-91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will

be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

PS-91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my

salvation.

*PS-92:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good

[thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto

thy name, O most High:

PS-92:2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy

faithfulness every night,

PS-92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;

upon the harp with a solemn sound.

PS-92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I

will triumph in the works of thy hands.

PS-92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are

very deep.

PS-92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool

understand this.

PS-92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the

workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be

destroyed for ever:

PS-92:8 But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.

PS-92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies

shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

PS-92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an

unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

PS-92:11 Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies,

[and] mine ears shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise

up against me.

PS-92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he

shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

PS-92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall

flourish in the courts of our God.

PS-92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they

shall be fat and flourishing;

PS-92:15 To show that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock,

and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.

*PS-93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD

is clothed with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself:

the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

PS-93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from

everlasting.

PS-93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have

lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

PS-93:4 The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many

waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.

PS-93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine

house, O LORD, for ever.

*PS-94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom

vengeance belongeth, show thyself.

PS-94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a

reward to the proud.

PS-94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the

wicked triumph?

PS-94:4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things?

[and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

PS-94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict

thine heritage.

PS-94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the

fatherless.

PS-94:7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the

God of Jacob regard [it].

PS-94:8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools,

when will ye be wise?

PS-94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that

formed the eye, shall he not see?

PS-94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

PS-94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are]

vanity.

PS-94:12 Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and

teachest him out of thy law;

PS-94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of

adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

PS-94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will

he forsake his inheritance.

PS-94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all

the upright in heart shall follow it.

PS-94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who

will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

PS-94:17 Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost

dwelt in silence.

PS-94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held

me up.

PS-94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts

delight my soul.

PS-94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,

which frameth mischief by a law?

PS-94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the

righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

PS-94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of

my refuge.

PS-94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and

shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our

God shall cut them off.

*PS-95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful

noise to the rock of our salvation.

PS-95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and

make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

PS-95:3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above

all gods.

PS-95:4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the

strength of the hills [is] his also.

PS-95:5 The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed

the dry [land].

PS-95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before

the LORD our maker.

PS-95:7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his

pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his

voice,

PS-95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as

[in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:

PS-95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

PS-95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation,

and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they

have not known my ways:

PS-95:11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not

enter into my rest.

*PS-96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD,

all the earth.

PS-96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his

salvation from day to day.

PS-96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among

all people.

PS-96:4 For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he

[is] to be feared above all gods.

PS-96:5 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the

LORD made the heavens.

PS-96:6 Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty

[are] in his sanctuary.

PS-96:7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give

unto the LORD glory and strength.

PS-96:8 Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring

an offering, and come into his courts.

PS-96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear

before him, all the earth.

PS-96:10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the

world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he

shall judge the people righteously.

PS-96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let

the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

PS-96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein:

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

PS-96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge

the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the

people with his truth.

*PS-97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the

multitude of isles be glad [thereof].

PS-97:2 Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness

and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.

PS-97:3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies

round about.

PS-97:4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and

trembled.

PS-97:5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,

at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

PS-97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the

people see his glory.

PS-97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that

boast themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.

PS-97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah

rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

PS-97:9 For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art

exalted far above all gods.

PS-97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the

souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the

wicked.

PS-97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the

upright in heart.

PS-97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at

the remembrance of his holiness.

*PS-98:1 A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath

done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath

gotten him the victory.

PS-98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his

righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.

PS-98:3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the

house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the

salvation of our God.

PS-98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a

loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

PS-98:5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the

voice of a psalm.

PS-98:6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise

before the LORD, the King.

PS-98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world,

and they that dwell therein.

PS-98:8 Let the floods clap [their] hands: let the hills be

joyful together

PS-98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with

righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with

equity.

*PS-99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth

[between] the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

PS-99:2 The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all

the people.

PS-99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it

[is] holy.

PS-99:4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost

establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in

Jacob.

PS-99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool;

[for] he [is] holy.

PS-99:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them

that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he

answered them.

PS-99:7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his

testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.

PS-99:8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God

that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their

inventions.

PS-99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill;

for the LORD our God [is] holy.

*PS-100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,

all ye lands.

PS-100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence

with singing.

PS-100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that]

hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the

sheep of his pasture.

PS-100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his

courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.

PS-100:5 For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and

his truth [endureth] to all generations.

*PS-101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment:

unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

PS-101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when

wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a

perfect heart.

PS-101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the

work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.

PS-101:4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a

wicked [person].

PS-101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut

off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I

suffer.

PS-101:6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land,

that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way,

he shall serve me.

PS-101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:

he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

PS-101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I

may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

*PS-102:1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and

poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O

LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

PS-102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in

trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call

answer me speedily.

PS-102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are

burned as an hearth.

PS-102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I

forget to eat my bread.

PS-102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave

to my skin.

PS-102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl

of the desert.

PS-102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

PS-102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that

are mad against me are sworn against me.

PS-102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink

with weeping,

PS-102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou

hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

PS-102:11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am

withered like grass.

PS-102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy

remembrance unto all generations.

PS-102:13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the

time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

PS-102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and

favour the dust thereof.

PS-102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and

all the kings of the earth thy glory.

PS-102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in

his glory.

PS-102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not

despise their prayer.

PS-102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and

the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

PS-102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his

sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

PS-102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those

that are appointed to death;

PS-102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his

praise in Jerusalem;

PS-102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the

kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

PS-102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my

days.

PS-102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my

days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.

PS-102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and

the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

PS-102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of

them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou

change them, and they shall be changed:

PS-102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no

end.

PS-102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their

seed shall be established before thee.

*PS-103:1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all

that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

PS-103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his

benefits:

PS-103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy

diseases;

PS-103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth

thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

PS-103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that]

thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

PS-103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all

that are oppressed.

PS-103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the

children of Israel.

PS-103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and

plenteous in mercy.

PS-103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his

anger] for ever.

PS-103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded

us according to our iniquities.

PS-103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great

is his mercy toward them that fear him.

PS-103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he

removed our transgressions from us.

PS-103:13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD

pitieth them that fear him.

PS-103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are]

dust.

PS-103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of

the field, so he flourisheth.

PS-103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the

place thereof shall know it no more.

PS-103:17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to

everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto

children's children;

PS-103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that

remember his commandments to do them.

PS-103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and

his kingdom ruleth over all.

PS-103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,

that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

PS-103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers

of his, that do his pleasure.

PS-103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his

dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

*PS-104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art

very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

PS-104:2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment:

who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

PS-104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who

maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the

wind:

PS-104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming

fire:

PS-104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it

should not be removed for ever.

PS-104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment:

the waters stood above the mountains.

PS-104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder

they hasted away.

PS-104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the

valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

PS-104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that

they turn not again to cover the earth.

PS-104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run

among the hills.

PS-104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild

asses quench their thirst.

PS-104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their

habitation, [which] sing among the branches.

PS-104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is

satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

PS-104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb

for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the

earth;

PS-104:15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and]

oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth

man's heart.

PS-104:16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of

Lebanon, which he hath planted;

PS-104:17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork,

the fir trees [are] her house.

PS-104:18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats;

[and] the rocks for the conies.

PS-104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his

going down.

PS-104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the

beasts of the forest do creep [forth].

PS-104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their

meat from God.

PS-104:22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and

lay them down in their dens.

PS-104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until

the evening.

PS-104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast

thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

PS-104:25 [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things

creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

PS-104:26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom]

thou hast made to play therein.

PS-104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them]

their meat in due season.

PS-104:28 [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest

thine hand, they are filled with good.

PS-104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest

away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

PS-104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and

thou renewest the face of the earth.

PS-104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD

shall rejoice in his works.

PS-104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth

the hills, and they smoke.

PS-104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will

sing praise to my God while I have my being.

PS-104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in

the LORD.

PS-104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let

the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye

the LORD.

*PS-105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make

known his deeds among the people.

PS-105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his

wondrous works.

PS-105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them

rejoice that seek the LORD.

PS-105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

PS-105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his

wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

PS-105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob

his chosen.

PS-105:7 He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all

the earth.

PS-105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word

[which] he commanded to a thousand generations.

PS-105:9 Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath

unto Isaac;

PS-105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to

Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:

PS-105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the

lot of your inheritance:

PS-105:12 When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very

few, and strangers in it.

PS-105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from [one]

kingdom to another people;

PS-105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved

kings for their sakes;

PS-105:15 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets

no harm.

PS-105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he

brake the whole staff of bread.

PS-105:17 He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was

sold for a servant:

PS-105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

PS-105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the

LORD tried him.

PS-105:20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the

people, and let him go free.

PS-105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his

substance:

PS-105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his

senators wisdom.

PS-105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in

the land of Ham.

PS-105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them

stronger than their enemies.

PS-105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal

subtly with his servants.

PS-105:26 He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had

chosen.

PS-105:27 They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the

land of Ham.

PS-105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled

not against his word.

PS-105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

PS-105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the

chambers of their kings.

PS-105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and]

lice in all their coasts.

PS-105:32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in

their land.

PS-105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and

brake the trees of their coasts.

PS-105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and

that without number,

PS-105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and

devoured the fruit of their ground.

PS-105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the

chief of all their strength.

PS-105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and

[there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.

PS-105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of

them fell upon them.

PS-105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give

light in the night.

PS-105:40 [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and

satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

PS-105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they

ran in the dry places [like] a river.

PS-105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his

servant.

PS-105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his

chosen with gladness:

PS-105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they

inherited the labour of the people;

PS-105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his

laws. Praise ye the LORD.

*PS-106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for

[he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can

show forth all his praise?

PS-106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that

doeth righteousness at all times.

PS-106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest

unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

PS-106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may

rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with

thine inheritance.

PS-106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed

iniquity, we have done wickedly.

PS-106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they

remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him]

at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.

PS-106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he

might make his mighty power to be known.

PS-106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he

led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

PS-106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated

[them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

PS-106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not

one of them left.

PS-106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

PS-106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his

counsel:

PS-106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted

God in the desert.

PS-106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into

their soul.

PS-106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the

saint of the LORD.

PS-106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered

the company of Abiram.

PS-106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame

burned up the wicked.

PS-106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten

image.

PS-106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of

an ox that eateth grass.

PS-106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great

things in Egypt;

PS-106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible

things by the Red sea.

PS-106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not

Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away

his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].

PS-106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed

not his word:

PS-106:25 But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto

the voice of the LORD.

PS-106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to

overthrow them in the wilderness:

PS-106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to

scatter them in the lands.

PS-106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the

sacrifices of the dead.

PS-106:29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their

inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

PS-106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and

[so] the plague was stayed.

PS-106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto

all generations for evermore.

PS-106:32 They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so

that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

PS-106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake

unadvisedly with his lips.

PS-106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the

LORD commanded them:

PS-106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their

works.

PS-106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto

them.

PS-106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters

unto devils,

PS-106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their

sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols

of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

PS-106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went

a whoring with their own inventions.

PS-106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against

his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

PS-106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and

they that hated them ruled over them.

PS-106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were

brought into subjection under their hand.

PS-106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked

[him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their

iniquity.

PS-106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he

heard their cry:

PS-106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented

according to the multitude of his mercies.

PS-106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that

carried them captives.

PS-106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the

heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in

thy praise.

PS-106:48 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting

to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the

LORD.

*PS-107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath

redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

PS-107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and

from the west, from the north, and from the south.

PS-107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they

found no city to dwell in.

PS-107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

PS-107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he delivered them out of their distresses.

PS-107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might

go to a city of habitation.

PS-107:8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the

hungry soul with goodness.

PS-107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

[being] bound in affliction and iron;

PS-107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and

contemned the counsel of the most High:

PS-107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;

they fell down, and [there was] none to help.

PS-107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he saved them out of their distresses.

PS-107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of

death, and brake their bands in sunder.

PS-107:15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the

bars of iron in sunder.

PS-107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of

their iniquities, are afflicted.

PS-107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw

near unto the gates of death.

PS-107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he

saveth them out of their distresses.

PS-107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered

[them] from their destructions.

PS-107:21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and declare his works with rejoicing.

PS-107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do

business in great waters;

PS-107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in

the deep.

PS-107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which

lifteth up the waves thereof.

PS-107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the

depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

PS-107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

and are at their wit's end.

PS-107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he

bringeth them out of their distresses.

PS-107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof

are still.

PS-107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he

bringeth them unto their desired haven.

PS-107:31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the

people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

PS-107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the

watersprings into dry ground;

PS-107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of

them that dwell therein.

PS-107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and

dry ground into watersprings.

PS-107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may

prepare a city for habitation;

PS-107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may

yield fruits of increase.

PS-107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied

greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

PS-107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through

oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

PS-107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to

wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.

PS-107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and

maketh [him] families like a flock.

PS-107:42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all

iniquity shall stop her mouth.

PS-107:43 Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even

they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

*PS-108:1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

PS-108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

PS-108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I

will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

PS-108:4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy

truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.

PS-108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy

glory above all the earth;

PS-108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy

right hand, and answer me.

PS-108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will

divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

PS-108:8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]

the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

PS-108:9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

over Philistia will I triumph.

PS-108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead

me into Edom?

PS-108:11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and

wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

PS-108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of

man.

PS-108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]

shall tread down our enemies.

*PS-109:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy

peace, O God of my praise;

PS-109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the

deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me

with a lying tongue.

PS-109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and

fought against me without a cause.

PS-109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself

unto] prayer.

PS-109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for

my love.

PS-109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at

his right hand.

PS-109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let

his prayer become sin.

PS-109:8 Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.

PS-109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

PS-109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:

let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.

PS-109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let

the strangers spoil his labour.

PS-109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither

let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

PS-109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation

following let their name be blotted out.

PS-109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the

LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

PS-109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may

cut off the memory of them from the earth.

PS-109:16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but

persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the

broken in heart.

PS-109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he

delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

PS-109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his

garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil

into his bones.

PS-109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him,

and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

PS-109:20 [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from

the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

PS-109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's

sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.

PS-109:22 For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded

within me.

PS-109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am

tossed up and down as the locust.

PS-109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh

faileth of fatness.

PS-109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked

upon me they shaked their heads.

PS-109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy

mercy:

PS-109:27 That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that]

thou, LORD, hast done it.

PS-109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let

them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

PS-109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let

them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

PS-109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I

will praise him among the multitude.

PS-109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to

save [him] from those that condemn his soul.

*PS-110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou

at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

PS-110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:

rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

PS-110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power,

in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou

hast the dew of thy youth.

PS-110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a

priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

PS-110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings

in the day of his wrath.

PS-110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the

places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many

countries.

PS-110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall

he lift up the head.

*PS-111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my]

whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the

congregation.

PS-111:2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all

them that have pleasure therein.

PS-111:3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his

righteousness endureth for ever.

PS-111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the

LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

PS-111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will

ever be mindful of his covenant.

PS-111:6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that

he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

PS-111:7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all

his commandments [are] sure.

PS-111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in

truth and uprightness.

PS-111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded

his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

PS-111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a

good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his

praise endureth for ever.

*PS-112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that]

feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.

PS-112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of

the upright shall be blessed.

PS-112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his

righteousness endureth for ever.

PS-112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

[he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

PS-112:5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide

his affairs with discretion.

PS-112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous

shall be in everlasting remembrance.

PS-112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is

fixed, trusting in the LORD.

PS-112:8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid,

until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.

PS-112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his

righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with

honour.

PS-112:10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall

gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked

shall perish.

*PS-113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,

praise the name of the LORD.

PS-113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth

and for evermore.

PS-113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the

same the LORD's name [is] to be praised.

PS-113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory

above the heavens.

PS-113:5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on

high,

PS-113:6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are]

in heaven, and in the earth!

PS-113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth

the needy out of the dunghill;

PS-113:8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the

princes of his people.

PS-113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a

joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

*PS-114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from

a people of strange language;

PS-114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

PS-114:3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

PS-114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills

like lambs.

PS-114:5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou

Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?

PS-114:6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye

little hills, like lambs?

PS-114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at

the presence of the God of Jacob;

PS-114:8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the

flint into a fountain of waters.

*PS-115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name

give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.

PS-115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their

God?

PS-115:3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done

whatsoever he hath pleased.

PS-115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's

hands.

PS-115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they,

but they see not:

PS-115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but

they smell not:

PS-115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they,

but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

PS-115:8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every

one that trusteth in them.

PS-115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help

and their shield.

PS-115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their

help and their shield.

PS-115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is]

their help and their shield.

PS-115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us];

he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of

Aaron.

PS-115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small

and great.

PS-115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and

your children.

PS-115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and

earth.

PS-115:16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but

the earth hath he given to the children of men.

PS-115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down

into silence.

PS-115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and

for evermore. Praise the LORD.

*PS-116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and]

my supplications.

PS-116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore

will I call upon [him] as long as I live.

PS-116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of

hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

PS-116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I

beseech thee, deliver my soul.

PS-116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God

[is] merciful.

PS-116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and

he helped me.

PS-116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath

dealt bountifully with thee.

PS-116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes

from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

PS-116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

PS-116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly

afflicted:

PS-116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

PS-116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his

benefits toward me?

PS-116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the

name of the LORD.

PS-116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence

of all his people.

PS-116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of

his saints.

PS-116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant,

[and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

PS-116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call upon the name of the LORD.

PS-116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence

of all his people,

PS-116:19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of

thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

*PS-117:1 O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye

people.

PS-117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the

truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

*PS-118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because

his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered

me, [and set me] in a large place.

PS-118:6 The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man

do unto me?

PS-118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:

therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

PS-118:8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put

confidence in man.

PS-118:9 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put

confidence in princes.

PS-118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the

LORD will I destroy them.

PS-118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

PS-118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched

as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will

destroy them.

PS-118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the

LORD helped me.

PS-118:14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my

salvation.

PS-118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the

tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth

valiantly.

PS-118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand

of the LORD doeth valiantly.

PS-118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of

the LORD.

PS-118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given

me over unto death.

PS-118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into

them, [and] I will praise the LORD:

PS-118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall

enter.

PS-118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art

become my salvation.

PS-118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the

head [stone] of the corner.

PS-118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our

eyes.

PS-118:24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will

rejoice and be glad in it.

PS-118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech

thee, send now prosperity.

PS-118:26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD:

we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

PS-118:27 God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind

the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.

PS-118:28 Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art]

my God, I will exalt thee.

PS-118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever.

*PS-119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who

walk in the law of the LORD.

PS-119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and

that] seek him with the whole heart.

PS-119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

PS-119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts

diligently.

PS-119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

PS-119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto

all thy commandments.

PS-119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I

shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

PS-119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

PS-119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by

taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.

PS-119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not

wander from thy commandments.

PS-119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not

sin against thee.

PS-119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy

mouth.

PS-119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as

[much as] in all riches.

PS-119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto

thy ways.

PS-119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not

forget thy word.

PS-119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may

live, and keep thy word.

PS-119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things

out of thy law.

PS-119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy

commandments from me.

PS-119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto

thy judgments at all times.

PS-119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which

do err from thy commandments.

PS-119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept

thy testimonies.

PS-119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy

servant did meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my

counsellors.

PS-119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou

me according to thy word.

PS-119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach

me thy statutes.

PS-119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so

shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

PS-119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me

according unto thy word.

PS-119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law

graciously.

PS-119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I

laid [before me].

PS-119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not

to shame.

PS-119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou

shalt enlarge my heart.

PS-119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I

shall keep it [unto] the end.

PS-119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea,

I shall observe it with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for

therein do I delight.

PS-119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to

covetousness.

PS-119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and]

quicken thou me in thy way.

PS-119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted]

to thy fear.

PS-119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments

[are] good.

PS-119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me

in thy righteousness.

PS-119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even]

thy salvation, according to thy word.

PS-119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that

reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

PS-119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;

for I have hoped in thy judgments.

PS-119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

PS-119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

PS-119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and

will not be ashamed.

PS-119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I

have loved.

PS-119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,

which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which

thou hast caused me to hope.

PS-119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word

hath quickened me.

PS-119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have

I not declined from thy law.

PS-119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have

comforted myself.

PS-119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked

that forsake thy law.

PS-119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my

pilgrimage.

PS-119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and

have kept thy law.

PS-119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

PS-119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that

I would keep thy words.

PS-119:58 I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be

merciful unto me according to thy word.

PS-119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy

testimonies.

PS-119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

PS-119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have

not forgotten thy law.

PS-119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee

because of thy righteous judgments.

PS-119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and

of them that keep thy precepts.

PS-119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy

statutes.

PS-119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,

according unto thy word.

PS-119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have

believed thy commandments.

PS-119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I

kept thy word.

PS-119:68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will

keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in

thy law.

PS-119:71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I

might learn thy statutes.

PS-119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than

thousands of gold and silver.

PS-119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me

understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

PS-119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;

because I have hoped in thy word.

PS-119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and

[that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

PS-119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my

comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

PS-119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live:

for thy law [is] my delight.

PS-119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely

with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.

PS-119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that

have known thy testimonies.

PS-119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not

ashamed.

PS-119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope

in thy word.

PS-119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou

comfort me?

PS-119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I

not forget thy statutes.

PS-119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou

execute judgment on them that persecute me?

PS-119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not

after thy law.

PS-119:86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me

wrongfully; help thou me.

PS-119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook

not thy precepts.

PS-119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep

the testimony of thy mouth.

PS-119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

PS-119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast

established the earth, and it abideth.

PS-119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances:

for all [are] thy servants.

PS-119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then

have perished in mine affliction.

PS-119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou

hast quickened me.

PS-119:94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

PS-119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I

will consider thy testimonies.

PS-119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy

commandment [is] exceeding broad.

PS-119:97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all

the day.

PS-119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than

mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me.

PS-119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for

thy testimonies [are] my meditation.

PS-119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I

might keep thy word.

PS-119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast

taught me.

PS-119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter]

than honey to my mouth!

PS-119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I

hate every false way.

PS-119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light

unto my path.

PS-119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will

keep thy righteous judgments.

PS-119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD,

according unto thy word.

PS-119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my

mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

PS-119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not

forget thy law.

PS-119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not

from thy precepts.

PS-119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:

for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.

PS-119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes

alway, [even unto] the end.

PS-119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.

PS-119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in

thy word.

PS-119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the

commandments of my God.

PS-119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:

and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

PS-119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have

respect unto thy statutes continually.

PS-119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy

statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood.

PS-119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like]

dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

PS-119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid

of thy judgments.

PS-119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not

to mine oppressors.

PS-119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud

oppress me.

PS-119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of

thy righteousness.

PS-119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and

teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may

know thy testimonies.

PS-119:126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they

have made void thy law.

PS-119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea,

above fine gold.

PS-119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning]

all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.

PS-119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth

my soul keep them.

PS-119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth

understanding unto the simple.

PS-119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy

commandments.

PS-119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou

usest to do unto those that love thy name.

PS-119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity

have dominion over me.

PS-119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me

thy statutes.

PS-119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they

keep not thy law.

PS-119:137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright

[are] thy judgments.

PS-119:138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are]

righteous and very faithful.

PS-119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have

forgotten thy words.

PS-119:140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth

it.

PS-119:141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy

precepts.

PS-119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness,

and thy law [is] the truth.

PS-119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy

commandments [are] my delights.

PS-119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting:

give me understanding, and I shall live.

PS-119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD:

I will keep thy statutes.

PS-119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy

testimonies.

PS-119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I

hoped in thy word.

PS-119:148 Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might

meditate in thy word.

PS-119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O

LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

PS-119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are

far from thy law.

PS-119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments

[are] truth.

PS-119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that

thou hast founded them for ever.

PS-119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I

do not forget thy law.

PS-119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according

to thy word.

PS-119:155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not

thy statutes.

PS-119:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me

according to thy judgments.

PS-119:157 Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do

I not decline from thy testimonies.

PS-119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because

they kept not thy word.

PS-119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,

according to thy lovingkindness.

PS-119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every

one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.

PS-119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:

but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

PS-119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great

spoil.

PS-119:163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.

PS-119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy

righteous judgments.

PS-119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing

shall offend them.

PS-119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy

commandments.

PS-119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them

exceedingly.

PS-119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all

my ways [are] before thee.

PS-119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give

me understanding according to thy word.

PS-119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me

according to thy word.

PS-119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me

thy statutes.

PS-119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy

commandments [are] righteousness.

PS-119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy

precepts.

PS-119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law

[is] my delight.

PS-119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let

thy judgments help me.

PS-119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy

servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

*PS-120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the

LORD, and he heard me.

PS-120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a

deceitful tongue.

PS-120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done

unto thee, thou false tongue?

PS-120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

PS-120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in

the tents of Kedar!

PS-120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

PS-120:7 I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.

*PS-121:1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the

hills, from whence cometh my help.

PS-121:2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and

earth.

PS-121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that

keepeth thee will not slumber.

PS-121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber

nor sleep.

PS-121:5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon

thy right hand.

PS-121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by

night.

PS-121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall

preserve thy soul.

PS-121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

from this time forth, and even for evermore.

*PS-122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said

unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

PS-122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

PS-122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

PS-122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto

the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the

LORD.

PS-122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of

the house of David.

PS-122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper

that love thee.

PS-122:7 Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy

palaces.

PS-122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say,

Peace [be] within thee.

PS-122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek

thy good.

*PS-123:1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O

thou that dwellest in the heavens.

PS-123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of

their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of

her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until

that he have mercy upon us.

PS-123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we

are exceedingly filled with contempt.

PS-123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of

those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.

*PS-124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the

LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

PS-124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when

men rose up against us:

PS-124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath

was kindled against us:

PS-124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone

over our soul:

PS-124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

PS-124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a

prey to their teeth.

PS-124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the

fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

PS-124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven

and earth.

*PS-125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall

be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for

ever.

PS-125:2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the

LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

PS-125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot

of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto

iniquity.

PS-125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to

them that are] upright in their hearts.

PS-125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the

LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but]

peace [shall be] upon Israel.

*PS-126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the

captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

PS-126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue

with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath

done great things for them.

PS-126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we

are glad.

PS-126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the

south.

PS-126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

PS-126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves

[with him].

*PS-127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build

the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD

keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain.

PS-127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,

to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved

sleep.

PS-127:3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the

fruit of the womb [is his] reward.

PS-127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are]

children of the youth.

PS-127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them:

they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies

in the gate.

*PS-128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth

the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

PS-128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy

[shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.

PS-128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of

thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy

table.

PS-128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth

the LORD.

PS-128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt

see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

PS-128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and]

peace upon Israel.

*PS-129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me

from my youth, may Israel now say:

PS-129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet

they have not prevailed against me.

PS-129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their

furrows.

PS-129:4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords

of the wicked.

PS-129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate

Zion.

PS-129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which

withereth afore it groweth up:

PS-129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that

bindeth sheaves his bosom.

PS-129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the

LORD [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

*PS-130:1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto

thee, O LORD.

PS-130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the

voice of my supplications.

PS-130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who

shall stand?

PS-130:4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest

be feared.

PS-130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word

do I hope.

PS-130:6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that

watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for

the morning.

PS-130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there

is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.

PS-130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

*PS-131:1 A Song of degrees of David. 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.

PS-131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child

that is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned

child.

PS-131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for

ever.

*PS-132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his

afflictions:

PS-132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty

[God] of Jacob;

PS-132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

nor go up into my bed;

PS-132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to

mine eyelids,

PS-132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation

for the mighty [God] of Jacob.

PS-132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the

fields of the wood.

PS-132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his

footstool.

PS-132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy

strength.

PS-132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let

thy saints shout for joy.

PS-132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of

thine anointed.

PS-132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not

turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy

throne.

PS-132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony

that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy

throne for evermore.

PS-132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it]

for his habitation.

PS-132:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I

have desired it.

PS-132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy

her poor with bread.

PS-132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her

saints shall shout aloud for joy.

PS-132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have

ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

PS-132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself

shall his crown flourish.

*PS-133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how

pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!

PS-133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that

ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to

the skirts of his garments;

PS-133:3 As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended

upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the

blessing, [even] life for evermore.

*PS-134:1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye]

servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the

LORD.

PS-134:2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the

LORD.

PS-134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of

Zion.

*PS-135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD;

praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.

PS-135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts

of the house of our God,

PS-135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises

unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.

PS-135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and]

Israel for his peculiar treasure.

PS-135:5 For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our

Lord [is] above all gods.

PS-135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven,

and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

PS-135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the

earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind

out of his treasuries.

PS-135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

PS-135:9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O

Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

PS-135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

PS-135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and

all the kingdoms of Canaan:

PS-135:12 And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage

unto Israel his people.

PS-135:13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy

memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

PS-135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent

himself concerning his servants.

PS-135:15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the

work of men's hands.

PS-135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they,

but they see not;

PS-135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there

[any] breath in their mouths.

PS-135:18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every

one that trusteth in them.

PS-135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O

house of Aaron:

PS-135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD,

bless the LORD.

PS-135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at

Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

*PS-136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters:

for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever:

PS-136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for

his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever:

PS-136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for

his mercy [endureth] for ever:

PS-136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for

his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness:

for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:22 [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his

mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever.

PS-136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

*PS-137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we

wept, when we remembered Zion.

PS-137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst

thereof.

PS-137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of

us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth,

[saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.

PS-137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

PS-137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget

[her cunning].

PS-137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the

roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

PS-137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of

Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the

foundation thereof.

PS-137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy

[shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

PS-137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little

ones against the stones.

*PS-138:1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole

heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

PS-138:2 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.

PS-138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and]

strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.

PS-138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,

when they hear the words of thy mouth.

PS-138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great

[is] the glory of the LORD.

PS-138:6 Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the

lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

PS-138:7 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.

PS-138:8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy

mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of

thine own hands.

*PS-139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou

hast searched me, and known [me].

PS-139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou

understandest my thought afar off.

PS-139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art

acquainted [with] all my ways.

PS-139:4 For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O

LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

PS-139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine

hand upon me.

PS-139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high,

I cannot [attain] unto it.

PS-139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I

flee from thy presence?

PS-139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make

my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].

PS-139:9 [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in

the uttermost parts of the sea;

PS-139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand

shall hold me.

PS-139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the

night shall be light about me.

PS-139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night

shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike

[to thee].

PS-139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me

in my mother's womb.

PS-139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and]

wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul

knoweth right well.

PS-139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in

secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

PS-139:16 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.

PS-139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how

great is the sum of them!

PS-139:18 [If] I should count them, they are more in number than

the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

PS-139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from

me therefore, ye bloody men.

PS-139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine

enemies take [thy name] in vain.

PS-139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not

I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

PS-139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine

enemies.

PS-139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know

my thoughts:

PS-139:24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead

me in the way everlasting.

*PS-140:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O

LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

PS-140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually

are they gathered together [for] war.

PS-140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;

adders' poison [is] under their lips. Selah.

PS-140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve

me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my

goings.

PS-140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have

spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

PS-140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice

of my supplications, O LORD.

PS-140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast

covered my head in the day of battle.

PS-140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further

not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah.

PS-140:9 [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let

the mischief of their own lips cover them.

PS-140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast

into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

PS-140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:

evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him].

PS-140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the

afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.

PS-140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:

the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

*PS-141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste

unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

PS-141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense;

[and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

PS-141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of

my lips.

PS-141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice

wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of

their dainties.

PS-141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness:

and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which]

shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in

their calamities.

PS-141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they

shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

PS-141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when

one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.

PS-141:8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee

is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

PS-141:9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me,

and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

PS-141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I

withal escape.

*PS-142:1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I

cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD

did I make my supplication.

PS-142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before

him my trouble.

PS-142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou

knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily

laid a snare for me.

PS-142:4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there

was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared

for my soul.

PS-142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge

[and] my portion in the land of the living.

PS-142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver

me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

PS-142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name:

the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal

bountifully with me.

*PS-143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to

my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy

righteousness.

PS-143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in

thy sight shall no man living be justified.

PS-143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten

my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness,

as those that have been long dead.

PS-143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart

within me is desolate.

PS-143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works;

I muse on the work of thy hands.

PS-143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth]

after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

PS-143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not

thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the

pit.

PS-143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for

in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should

walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

PS-143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee

to hide me.

PS-143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy

spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

PS-143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy

righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

PS-143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all

them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.

*PS-144:1 [A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength,

which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:

PS-144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my

deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my

people under me.

PS-144:3 LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him!

[or] the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

PS-144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that

passeth away.

PS-144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the

mountains, and they shall smoke.

PS-144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine

arrows, and destroy them.

PS-144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out

of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

PS-144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is]

a right hand of falsehood.

PS-144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a

psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises

unto thee.

PS-144:10 [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who

delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

PS-144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange

children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is]

a right hand of falsehood:

PS-144:12 That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their

youth; [that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished

[after] the similitude of a palace:

PS-144:13 [That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner

of store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten

thousands in our streets:

PS-144:14 [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there

be] no breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no

complaining in our streets.

PS-144:15 Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea],

happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.

*PS-145:1 David's [Psalm] of praise. I will extol thee, my God,

O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

PS-145:2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name

for ever and ever.

PS-145:3 Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his

greatness [is] unsearchable.

PS-145:4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and

shall declare thy mighty acts.

PS-145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and

of thy wondrous works.

PS-145:6 And [men] shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:

and I will declare thy greatness.

PS-145:7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great

goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

PS-145:8 The LORD [is] gracious, and full of compassion; slow to

anger, and of great mercy.

PS-145:9 The LORD [is] good to all: and his tender mercies [are]

over all his works.

PS-145:10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy

saints shall bless thee.

PS-145:11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk

of thy power;

PS-145:12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and

the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

PS-145:13 Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and thy

dominion [endureth] throughout all generations.

PS-145:14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all

[those that be] bowed down.

PS-145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them

their meat in due season.

PS-145:16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of

every living thing.

PS-145:17 The LORD [is] righteous in all his ways, and holy in

all his works.

PS-145:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him,

to all that call upon him in truth.

PS-145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he

also will hear their cry, and will save them.

PS-145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all

the wicked will he destroy.

PS-145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let

all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

*PS-146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

PS-146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing

praises unto my God while I have any being.

PS-146:3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man,

in whom [there is] no help.

PS-146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in

that very day his thoughts perish.

PS-146:5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:

PS-146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that

therein [is]: which keepeth truth for ever:

PS-146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which

giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

PS-146:8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD

raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

PS-146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the

fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth

upside down.

PS-146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion,

unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

unto our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.

the outcasts of Israel.

PS-147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their

wounds.

PS-147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all

by [their] names.

PS-147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his

understanding [is] infinite.

down to the ground.

the harp unto our God:

PS-147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain

for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

PS-147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young

ravens which cry.

PS-147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he

taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

PS-147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in

those that hope in his mercy.

PS-147:12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

PS-147:13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he

hath blessed thy children within thee.

PS-147:14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee

with the finest of the wheat.

PS-147:15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his

word runneth very swiftly.

PS-147:16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost

like ashes.

PS-147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand

before his cold?

PS-147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth

his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.

PS-147:19 He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his

judgments unto Israel.

PS-147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his]

judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

hosts.

of light.

PS-148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that

[be] above the heavens.

PS-148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded,

and they were created.

PS-148:6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath

made a decree which shall not pass.

PS-148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all

deeps:

PS-148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind

fulfilling his word:

PS-148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all

cedars:

PS-148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying

fowl:

PS-148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all

judges of the earth:

PS-148:12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

PS-148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name

alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near

unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

beautify the meek with salvation.

PS-149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud

upon their beds.

PS-149:6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth,

and a twoedged sword in their hand;

PS-149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and]

punishments upon the people;

PS-149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with

fetters of iron;

PS-149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour

have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

high sounding cymbals.
