PSA 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. PSA 1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. PSA 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. PSA 1:4 The ungodly [are] not so:but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. PSA 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. PSA 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:but the way of the ungodly shall perish. PSA 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? PSA 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying] , PSA 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. PSA 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:the Lord shall have them in derision. PSA 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. PSA 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. PSA 2:7 I will declare the decree:the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. PSA 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. PSA 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. PSA 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:be instructed, ye judges of the earth. PSA 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah. PSA 3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. PSA 3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. PSA 3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. PSA 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [ themselves] against me round about. PSA 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. PSA 3:8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD:thy blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not:commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. PSA 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. PSA 4:6 [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. PSA 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased. PSA 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. PSA 5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. PSA 5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. PSA 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. PSA 5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:neither shall evil dwell with thee. PSA 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:thou hatest all workers of iniquity. PSA 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. PSA 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. PSA 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield. PSA 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. PSA 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak:O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. PSA 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed:but thou, O LORD, how long? PSA 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:oh save me for thy mercies' sake. PSA 6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee:in the grave who shall give thee thanks? PSA 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. PSA 6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. PSA 6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. PSA 6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. PSA 6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly. PSA 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: PSA 7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver. PSA 7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; PSA 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: ) PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:for their sakes therefore return thou on high. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 7:10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart. PSA 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. PSA 7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. PSA 7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. PSA 7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. PSA 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made. PSA 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. PSA 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; PSA 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? PSA 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. PSA 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: PSA 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; PSA 8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. PSA 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! PSA 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. PSA 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. PSA 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. PSA 9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. PSA 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. PSA 9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. PSA 9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever:he hath prepared his throne for judgment. PSA 9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. PSA 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. PSA 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. PSA 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. PSA 9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. PSA 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: PSA 9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion:I will rejoice in thy salvation. PSA 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. PSA 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. PSA 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. PSA 9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever. PSA 9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail:let the heathen be judged in thy sight. PSA 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD:[that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah. PSA 10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble? PSA 10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor:let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. PSA 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, [ whom] the LORD abhorreth. PSA 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God] :God [is] not in all his thoughts. PSA 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. PSA 10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:for [I shall] never [ be] in adversity. PSA 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud:under his tongue [ is] mischief and vanity. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. PSA 10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:he hideth his face; he will never see [it] . PSA 10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand:forget not the humble. PSA 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it] . PSA 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. PSA 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man] : seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. PSA 10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever:the heathen are perished out of his land. PSA 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: PSA 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. PSA 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? PSA 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. PSA 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? PSA 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. PSA 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous:but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. PSA 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest:[this shall be] the portion of their cup. PSA 11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. PSA 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. PSA 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:[with] flattering lips [ and] with a double heart do they speak. PSA 12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things: PSA 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own:who [is] lord over us? PSA 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. PSA 12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words:[as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. PSA 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. PSA 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. PSA 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? PSA 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? PSA 13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God:lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death; PSA 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. PSA 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. PSA 13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy:[there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. PSA 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. PSA 14:5 There were they in great fear:for God [is] in the generation of the righteous. PSA 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge. PSA 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. PSA 15:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? PSA 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. PSA 15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God:for in thee do I put my trust. PSA 16:2 [O my soul] , thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord:my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; PSA 16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. PSA 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. PSA 16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:thou maintainest my lot. PSA 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places] ; yea, I have a goodly heritage. PSA 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel:my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. PSA 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me:because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. PSA 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:my flesh also shall rest in hope. PSA 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. PSA 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. PSA 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer. PSA 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not. PSA 17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech. PSA 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] . PSA 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, PSA 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass me about. PSA 17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat:with their mouth they speak proudly. PSA 17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps:they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; PSA 17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. PSA 17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down:deliver my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword: PSA 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. PSA 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised:so shall I be saved from mine enemies. PSA 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. PSA 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:the snares of death prevented me. PSA 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. PSA 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. PSA 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured:coals were kindled by it. PSA 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down:and darkness [was] under his feet. PSA 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. PSA 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. PSA 18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [ stones] and coals of fire. PSA 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. PSA 18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. PSA 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. PSA 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. PSA 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me:for they were too strong for me. PSA 18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:but the LORD was my stay. PSA 18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. PSA 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. PSA 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. PSA 18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. PSA 18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. PSA 18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. PSA 18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright; PSA 18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. PSA 18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. PSA 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle:the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. PSA 18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. PSA 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. PSA 18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? PSA 18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. PSA 18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet] , and setteth me upon my high places. PSA 18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. PSA 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. PSA 18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. PSA 18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. PSA 18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. PSA 18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. PSA 18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. PSA 18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them:even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me:the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. PSA 18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. PSA 18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. PSA 18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. PSA 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. PSA 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. PSA 18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. PSA 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. PSA 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. PSA 19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. PSA 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, PSA 19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. PSA 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. PSA 19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. PSA 19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. PSA 19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever:the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. PSA 19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold:sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. PSA 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:[and] in keeping of them [ there is] great reward. PSA 19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults] . PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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; PSA 20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; PSA 20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. PSA 20:4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses:but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. PSA 20:8 They are brought down and fallen:but we are risen, and stand upright. PSA 20:9 Save, LORD:let the king hear us when we call. PSA 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! PSA 21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. PSA 21:3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. PSA 21:4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days for ever and ever. PSA 21:5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation:honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. PSA 21:6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. PSA 21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. PSA 21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. PSA 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. PSA 21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. PSA 21:11 For they intended evil against thee:they imagined a mischievous device, [ which] they are not able [to perform] . PSA 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. PSA 21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:[so] will we sing and praise thy power. PSA 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? PSA 22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. PSA 22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel. PSA 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee:they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. PSA 22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. PSA 22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. PSA 22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn:they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying] , PSA 22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him:let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. PSA 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. PSA 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb:thou [art] my God from my mother's belly. PSA 22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help. PSA 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me:strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round. PSA 22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 22:16 For dogs have compassed me:the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me:they pierced my hands and my feet. PSA 22:17 I may tell all my bones:they look [and] stare upon me. PSA 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. PSA 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD:O my strength, haste thee to help me. PSA 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. PSA 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth:for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. PSA 22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren:in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. PSA 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied:they shall praise the LORD that seek him:your heart shall live for ever. PSA 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. PSA 22:28 For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S:and he [is] the governor among the nations. PSA 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. PSA 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. PSA 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this] . PSA 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. PSA 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside the still waters. PSA 23:3 He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. PSA 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. PSA 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. PSA 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. PSA 24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. PSA 24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. PSA 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? PSA 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. PSA 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. PSA 24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. PSA 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. PSA 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah. PSA 25:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. PSA 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee:let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. PSA 25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. PSA 25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. PSA 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. PSA 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [ have been] ever of old. PSA 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. PSA 25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD:therefore will he teach sinners in the way. PSA 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment:and the meek will he teach his way. PSA 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. PSA 25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great. PSA 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [ that] he shall choose. PSA 25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. PSA 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. PSA 25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. PSA 25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. PSA 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:[O] bring thou me out of my distresses. PSA 25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. PSA 25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. PSA 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. PSA 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. PSA 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. PSA 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. PSA 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. PSA 26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes:and I have walked in thy truth. PSA 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. PSA 26:5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. PSA 26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency:so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: PSA 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. PSA 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. PSA 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: PSA 26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. PSA 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:redeem me, and be merciful unto me. PSA 26:12 My foot standeth in an even place:in the congregations will I bless the LORD. PSA 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? PSA 27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice:have mercy also upon me, and answer me. PSA 27:8 [When thou saidst] , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. PSA 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. PSA 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. PSA 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. PSA 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. PSA 27:13 [I had fainted] , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. PSA 27:14 Wait on the LORD:be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:wait, I say, on the LORD. PSA 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. PSA 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. PSA 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. PSA 28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of his anointed. PSA 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:feed them also, and lift them up for ever. PSA 29:1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. PSA 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSA 29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters:the God of glory thundereth:the LORD [is] upon many waters. PSA 29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty. PSA 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. PSA 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. PSA 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. PSA 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. PSA 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. PSA 29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. PSA 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. PSA 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. PSA 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. PSA 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. PSA 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. PSA 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. PSA 30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. PSA 30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled. PSA 30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. PSA 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? PSA 30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me:LORD, be thou my helper. PSA 30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. PSA 31:3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. PSA 31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:for thou [ art] my strength. PSA 31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. PSA 31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities:but I trust in the LORD. PSA 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; PSA 31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:thou hast set my feet in a large room. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:I am like a broken vessel. PSA 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. PSA 31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD:I said, Thou [art] my God. PSA 31:15 My times [are] in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. PSA 31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:save me for thy mercies' sake. PSA 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. PSA 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. PSA 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! PSA 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. PSA 31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD:for he hath showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. PSA 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. PSA 31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints:[for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. PSA 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. PSA 32:1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered. PSA 32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. PSA 32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. PSA 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 32:7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. PSA 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will guide thee with mine eye. PSA 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. PSA 32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked:but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. PSA 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:and shout for joy, all [ ye that are] upright in heart. PSA 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:[for] praise is comely for the upright. PSA 33:2 Praise the LORD with harp:sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings. PSA 33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. PSA 33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth. PSA 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment:the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. PSA 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. PSA 33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. PSA 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD:let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. PSA 33:9 For he spake, and it was [done] ; he commanded, and it stood fast. PSA 33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. PSA 33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. PSA 33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the people [ whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance. PSA 33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. PSA 33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. PSA 33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. PSA 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. PSA 33:17 An horse [is] a vain thing for safety:neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength. PSA 33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. PSA 33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD:he [is] our help and our shield. PSA 33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. PSA 33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. PSA 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. PSA 34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:the humble shall hear [ thereof] , and be glad. PSA 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. PSA 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. PSA 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened:and their faces were not ashamed. PSA 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him] , and saved him out of all his troubles. PSA 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. PSA 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good:blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. PSA 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints:for [there is] no want to them that fear him. PSA 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing] . PSA 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:I will teach you the fear of the LORD. PSA 34:12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good? PSA 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. PSA 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. PSA 34:15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry. PSA 34:16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. PSA 34:17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. PSA 34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. PSA 34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous:but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. PSA 34:20 He keepeth all his bones:not one of them is broken. PSA 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked:and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. PSA 34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants:and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. PSA 35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause] , O LORD, with them that strive with me:fight against them that fight against me. PSA 35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. PSA 35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me:say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. PSA 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. PSA 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:and let the angel of the LORD chase [ them] . PSA 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery:and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. PSA 35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. PSA 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. PSA 35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:it shall rejoice in his salvation. PSA 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? PSA 35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not. PSA 35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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: PSA 35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. PSA 35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. PSA 35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation:I will praise thee among much people. PSA 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. PSA 35:20 For they speak not peace:but they devise deceitful matters against [ them that are] quiet in the land. PSA 35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it] . PSA 35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD:keep not silence:O LORD, be not far from me. PSA 35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. PSA 35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. PSA 35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it:let them not say, We have swallowed him up. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long. PSA 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. PSA 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. PSA 36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit:he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good. PSA 36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil. PSA 36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [ reacheth] unto the clouds. PSA 36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep:O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. PSA 36:7 How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. PSA 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. PSA 36:9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life:in thy light shall we see light. PSA 36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. PSA 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. PSA 36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen:they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. PSA 37:1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. PSA 37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. PSA 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. PSA 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. PSA 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [ it] to pass. PSA 37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. PSA 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. PSA 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. PSA 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off:but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. PSA 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] . PSA 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. PSA 37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. PSA 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him:for he seeth that his day is coming. PSA 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. PSA 37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. PSA 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. PSA 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. PSA 37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright:and their inheritance shall be for ever. PSA 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. PSA 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. PSA 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. PSA 37:22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off. PSA 37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD:and he delighteth in his way. PSA 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand. PSA 37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. PSA 37:26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed. PSA 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. PSA 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. PSA 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. PSA 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. PSA 37:31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. PSA 37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. PSA 37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. PSA 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] . PSA 37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. PSA 37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not:yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. PSA 37:37 Mark the perfect [man] , and behold the upright:for the end of [that] man [is] peace. PSA 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:the end of the wicked shall be cut off. PSA 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. PSA 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. PSA 38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. PSA 38:5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness. PSA 38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease] :and [there is] no soundness in my flesh. PSA 38:8 I am feeble and sore broken:I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. PSA 38:9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. PSA 38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me:as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. PSA 38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. PSA 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. PSA 38:13 But I, as a deaf [man] , heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth. PSA 38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs. PSA 38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope:thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. PSA 38:16 For I said, [Hear me] , lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me:when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me. PSA 38:17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me. PSA 38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. PSA 38:19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. PSA 38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is] . PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred. PSA 39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:[then] spake I with my tongue, PSA 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] . PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee. PSA 39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:make me not the reproach of the foolish. PSA 39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it] . PSA 39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me:I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. PSA 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. PSA 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] . PSA 39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. PSA 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. PSA 40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened:burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. PSA 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come:in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, PSA 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God:yea, thy law [is] within my heart. PSA 40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. PSA 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. PSA 40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. PSA 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. PSA 40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me:O LORD, make haste to help me. PSA 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. PSA 40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. PSA 41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. PSA 41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? PSA 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] . PSA 41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me:against me do they devise my hurt. PSA 41:8 An evil disease, [say they] , cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more. PSA 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me. PSA 41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. PSA 41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. PSA 41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. PSA 41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. PSA 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. PSA 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:when shall I come and appear before God? PSA 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God? PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. PSA 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. PSA 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? PSA 42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God? PSA 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. PSA 43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. PSA 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? PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 44:4 Thou art my King, O God:command deliverances for Jacob. PSA 44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies:through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. PSA 44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. PSA 44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. PSA 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. PSA 44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. PSA 44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy:and they which hate us spoil for themselves. PSA 44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. PSA 44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price. PSA 44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. PSA 44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. PSA 44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, PSA 44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. PSA 44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. PSA 44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; PSA 44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. PSA 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; PSA 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. PSA 44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. PSA 44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever. PSA 44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression? PSA 44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:our belly cleaveth unto the earth. PSA 44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. PSA 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. PSA 45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. PSA 45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. PSA 45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee. PSA 45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever:the sceptre of thy kingdom [ is] a right sceptre. PSA 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. PSA 45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. PSA 45:9 Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women:upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. PSA 45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; PSA 45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:for he [is] thy Lord; and worship thou him. PSA 45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; [even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour. PSA 45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within:her clothing [is] of wrought gold. PSA 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. PSA 45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought:they shall enter into the king's palace. PSA 45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. PSA 45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. PSA 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. PSA 46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; PSA 46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early. PSA 46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:he uttered his voice, the earth melted. PSA 46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. PSA 46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. PSA 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. PSA 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God:I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. PSA 46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth. PSA 47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. PSA 47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. PSA 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. PSA 47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises:sing praises unto our King, sing praises. PSA 47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth:sing ye praises with understanding. PSA 47:8 God reigneth over the heathen:God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. PSA 48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. PSA 48:5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away. PSA 48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail. PSA 48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. PSA 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. PSA 48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. PSA 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. PSA 48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. PSA 48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her:tell the towers thereof. PSA 48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following. PSA 48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever:he will be our guide [ even] unto death. PSA 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: PSA 49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. PSA 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding. PSA 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable:I will open my dark saying upon the harp. PSA 49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? PSA 49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; PSA 49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: PSA 49:8 ( For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) PSA 49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption. PSA 49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. PSA 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. PSA 49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not:he is like the beasts [ that] perish. PSA 49:13 This their way [is] their folly:yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:for he shall receive me. Selah. PSA 49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; PSA 49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away:his glory shall not descend after him. PSA 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul:and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. PSA 49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. PSA 49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [ that] perish. PSA 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. PSA 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. PSA 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. PSA 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. PSA 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. PSA 50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:for God [is] judge himself. Selah. PSA 50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee:I [am] God, [even] thy God. PSA 50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me. PSA 50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of thy folds. PSA 50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills. PSA 50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:and the wild beasts of the field [ are] mine. PSA 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof. PSA 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? PSA 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: PSA 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble:I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. PSA 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? PSA 50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. PSA 50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. PSA 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. PSA 50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. PSA 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. PSA 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver. PSA 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation of God. PSA 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. PSA 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. PSA 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:and my sin [is] ever before me. PSA 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. PSA 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. PSA 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:and in the hidden [ part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom. PSA 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. PSA 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice. PSA 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. PSA 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. PSA 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. PSA 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit. PSA 51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. PSA 51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:[and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. PSA 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. PSA 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it] :thou delightest not in burnt offering. PSA 51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit:a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. PSA 51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:build thou the walls of Jerusalem. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. PSA 52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. PSA 52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue. PSA 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. PSA 52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 53:3 Every one of them is gone back:they are altogether become filthy; [ there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. PSA 53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread:they have not called upon God. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. PSA 54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul:they have not set God before them. Selah. PSA 54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper:the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul. PSA 54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:cut them off in thy truth. PSA 54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [ it is] good. PSA 54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:and mine eye hath seen [ his desire] upon mine enemies. PSA 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. PSA 55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me:I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; PSA 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. PSA 55:4 My heart is sore pained within me:and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. PSA 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. PSA 55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. PSA 55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. PSA 55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. PSA 55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues:for I have seen violence and strife in the city. PSA 55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. PSA 55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof:deceit and guile depart not from her streets. PSA 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: PSA 55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. PSA 55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company. PSA 55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell:for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. PSA 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. PSA 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:and he shall hear my voice. PSA 55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me:for there were many with me. PSA 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. PSA 55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:he hath broken his covenant. PSA 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. PSA 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up:for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High. PSA 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. PSA 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. PSA 56:5 Every day they wrest my words:all their thoughts [are] against me for evil. PSA 56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. PSA 56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God. PSA 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings:put thou my tears into thy bottle:[are they] not in thy book? PSA 56:9 When I cry [unto thee] , then shall mine enemies turn back:this I know; for God [is] for me. PSA 56:10 In God will I praise [his] word:in the LORD will I praise [his] word. PSA 56:11 In God have I put my trust:I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. PSA 56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God:I will render praises unto thee. PSA 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? PSA 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. PSA 57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. PSA 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. PSA 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:I will sing and give praise. PSA 57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:I [myself] will awake early. PSA 57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:I will sing unto thee among the nations. PSA 57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. PSA 57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. PSA 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? PSA 58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. PSA 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. PSA 58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent:[they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear; PSA 58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. PSA 58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath. PSA 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. PSA 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. PSA 59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold. PSA 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. PSA 59:6 They return at evening:they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PSA 59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:swords [are] in their lips:for who, [say they] , doth hear? PSA 59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. PSA 59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee:for God [is] my defence. PSA 59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me:God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies. PSA 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PSA 59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. PSA 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. PSA 59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing:for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy. PSA 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. PSA 60:3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things:thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. PSA 60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. PSA 60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me. PSA 60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. PSA 60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; PSA 60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. PSA 60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? PSA 60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and [thou] , O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies? PSA 60:11 Give us help from trouble:for vain [is] the help of man. PSA 60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly:for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies. PSA 61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. PSA 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 I. PSA 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy. PSA 61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. PSA 61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name. PSA 61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life:[and] his years as many generations. PSA 61:7 He shall abide before God for ever:O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him. PSA 61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. PSA 62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God:from him [cometh] my salvation. PSA 62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him. PSA 62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation:[he is] my defence; I shall not be moved. PSA 62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory:the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God. PSA 62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him:God [is] a refuge for us. Selah. PSA 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. PSA 62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them] . PSA 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God. PSA 62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy:for thou renderest to every man according to his work. PSA 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; PSA 63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary. PSA 63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee. PSA 63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live:I will lift up my hands in thy name. PSA 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips: PSA 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches. PSA 63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. PSA 63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee:thy right hand upholdeth me. PSA 63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it] , shall go into the lower parts of the earth. PSA 63:10 They shall fall by the sword:they shall be a portion for foxes. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: PSA 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: PSA 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect:suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. PSA 64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter:they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? PSA 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. PSA 64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. PSA 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:all that see them shall flee away. PSA 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. PSA 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. PSA 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. PSA 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. PSA 65:3 Iniquities prevail against me:[as for] our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. PSA 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. PSA 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: PSA 65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power: PSA 65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:thou settlest the furrows thereof:thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. PSA 65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. PSA 65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness:and the little hills rejoice on every side. PSA 65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. PSA 66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: PSA 66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name:make his praise glorious. PSA 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. PSA 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah. PSA 66:5 Come and see the works of God:[he is] terrible [in his] doing toward the children of men. PSA 66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land] :they went through the flood on foot:there did we rejoice in him. PSA 66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. PSA 66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: PSA 66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. PSA 66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. PSA 66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. PSA 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] . PSA 66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings:I will pay thee my vows, PSA 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. PSA 66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. PSA 66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. PSA 66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. PSA 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me] : PSA 66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me] ; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. PSA 66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. PSA 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. PSA 67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. PSA 67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. PSA 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. PSA 67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. PSA 67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God, [even] our own God, shall bless us. PSA 67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. PSA 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. PSA 68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation. PSA 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] . PSA 68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: PSA 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. PSA 68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. PSA 68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. PSA 68:11 The Lord gave the word:great [was] the company of those that published [ it] . PSA 68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace:and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. PSA 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. PSA 68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon. PSA 68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan. PSA 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. PSA 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] . PSA 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. PSA 68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord [ belong] the issues from death. PSA 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. PSA 68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea: PSA 68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same. PSA 68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. PSA 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels. PSA 68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. PSA 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. PSA 68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength:strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. PSA 68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. PSA 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. PSA 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. PSA 68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: PSA 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. PSA 68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God:his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing:I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. PSA 69:3 I am weary of my crying:my throat is dried:mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. PSA 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. PSA 69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. PSA 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. PSA 69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. PSA 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. PSA 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. PSA 69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. PSA 69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. PSA 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good:turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. PSA 69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:hear me speedily. PSA 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it:deliver me because of mine enemies. PSA 69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:mine adversaries [are] all before thee. PSA 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. PSA 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. PSA 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them:and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap. PSA 69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. PSA 69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. PSA 69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents. PSA 69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. PSA 69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity:and let them not come into thy righteousness. PSA 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. PSA 69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful:let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. PSA 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. PSA 69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. PSA 69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad:and your heart shall live that seek God. PSA 69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. PSA 69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. PSA 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. PSA 69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it:and they that love his name shall dwell therein. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust:let me never be put to confusion. PSA 71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. PSA 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. PSA 71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. PSA 71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD:[thou art] my trust from my youth. PSA 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. PSA 71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge. PSA 71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day. PSA 71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. PSA 71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, PSA 71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him] . PSA 71:12 O God, be not far from me:O my God, make haste for my help. PSA 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. PSA 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. PSA 71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof] . PSA 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD:I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only. PSA 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth:and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. PSA 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. PSA 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things:O God, who [is] like unto thee! PSA 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. PSA 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. PSA 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. PSA 71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. PSA 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. PSA 72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. PSA 72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. PSA 72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. PSA 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. PSA 72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. PSA 72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:as showers [that] water the earth. PSA 72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. PSA 72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. PSA 72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. PSA 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. PSA 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him:all nations shall serve him. PSA 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper. PSA 72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. PSA 72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. PSA 72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever:and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen. PSA 72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. PSA 73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart. PSA 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. PSA 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked. PSA 73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death:but their strength [is] firm. PSA 73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [ other] men. PSA 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:they have more than heart could wish. PSA 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression:they speak loftily. PSA 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. PSA 73:10 Therefore his people return hither:and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them. PSA 73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? PSA 73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches. PSA 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency. PSA 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. PSA 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. PSA 73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; PSA 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. PSA 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places:thou castedst them down into destruction. PSA 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. PSA 73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so] , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. PSA 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. PSA 73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant:I was [as] a beast before thee. PSA 73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee:thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. PSA 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. PSA 73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee] ? and [there is] none upon earth [ that] I desire beside thee. PSA 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth:[but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. PSA 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. PSA 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. PSA 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? PSA 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. PSA 74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. PSA 74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs. PSA 74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. PSA 74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. PSA 74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. PSA 74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. PSA 74:9 We see not our signs:[there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long. PSA 74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? PSA 74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom. PSA 74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. PSA 74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. PSA 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. PSA 74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood:thou driedst up mighty rivers. PSA 74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine:thou hast prepared the light and the sun. PSA 74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:thou hast made summer and winter. PSA 74:18 Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. PSA 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. PSA 74:20 Have respect unto the covenant:for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. PSA 74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed:let the poor and needy praise thy name. PSA 74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. PSA 74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies:the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. PSA 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. PSA 75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. PSA 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. PSA 75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: PSA 75:5 Lift not up your horn on high:speak [not with] a stiff neck. PSA 75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. PSA 75:7 But God [is] the judge:he putteth down one, and setteth up another. PSA 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] . PSA 75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. PSA 75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. PSA 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. PSA 76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. PSA 76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. PSA 76:4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey. PSA 76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep:and none of the men of might have found their hands. PSA 76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. PSA 76:7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared:and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? PSA 76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, PSA 76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. PSA 76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. PSA 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. PSA 76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:[he is] terrible to the kings of the earth. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled:I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. PSA 77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking:I am so troubled that I cannot speak. PSA 77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. PSA 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:I commune with mine own heart:and my spirit made diligent search. PSA 77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? PSA 77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore? PSA 77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. PSA 77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity:[but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the most High. PSA 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD:surely I will remember thy wonders of old. PSA 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. PSA 77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary:who [is so] great a God as [ our] God? PSA 77:14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders:thou hast declared thy strength among the people. PSA 77:15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. PSA 77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:the depths also were troubled. PSA 77:17 The clouds poured out water:the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. PSA 77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven:the lightnings lightened the world:the earth trembled and shook. PSA 17:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. PSA 77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. PSA 78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. PSA 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable:I will utter dark sayings of old: PSA 78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. PSA 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. PSA 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: PSA 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: PSA 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: PSA 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. PSA 78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. PSA 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; PSA 78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had showed them. PSA 78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan. PSA 78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. PSA 78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. PSA 78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths. PSA 78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. PSA 78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. PSA 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. PSA 78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? PSA 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? PSA 78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this] , and was wroth:so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; PSA 78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: PSA 78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, PSA 78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. PSA 78:25 Man did eat angels' food:he sent them meat to the full. PSA 78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:and by his power he brought in the south wind. PSA 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: PSA 78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. PSA 78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled:for he gave them their own desire; PSA 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [was] yet in their mouths, PSA 78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel. PSA 78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. PSA 78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. PSA 78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him:and they returned and inquired early after God. PSA 78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer. PSA 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. PSA 78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. PSA 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. PSA 78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. PSA 78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert! PSA 78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. PSA 78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the enemy. PSA 78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: PSA 78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. PSA 78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. PSA 78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust. PSA 78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. PSA 78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. PSA 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them] . PSA 78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; PSA 78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham: PSA 78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. PSA 78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not:but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. PSA 78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased. PSA 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. PSA 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: PSA 78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. PSA 78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. PSA 78:59 When God heard [this] , he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: PSA 78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed among men; PSA 78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. PSA 78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. PSA 78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. PSA 78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. PSA 78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. PSA 78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts:he put them to a perpetual reproach. PSA 78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: PSA 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. PSA 78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces] , like the earth which he hath established for ever. PSA 78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: PSA 78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. PSA 78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them] . PSA 79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. PSA 79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? PSA 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. PSA 79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. PSA 79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities:let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us:for we are brought very low. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 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; PSA 79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. PSA 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. PSA 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. PSA 80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [ and] save us. PSA 80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PSA 80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? PSA 80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. PSA 80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:and our enemies laugh among themselves. PSA 80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PSA 80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. PSA 80:9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. PSA 80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [ were like] the goodly cedars. PSA 80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. PSA 80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? PSA 80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. PSA 80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; PSA 80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [ that] thou madest strong for thyself. PSA 80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down:they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. PSA 80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [ whom] thou madest strong for thyself. PSA 80:18 So will not we go back from thee:quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. PSA 80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PSA 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. PSA 81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. PSA 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. PSA 81:4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob. PSA 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. PSA 81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:his hands were delivered from the pots. PSA 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. PSA 81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; PSA 81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. PSA 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. PSA 81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. PSA 81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust:[and] they walked in their own counsels. PSA 81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways! PSA 81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. PSA 81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him:but their time should have endured for ever. PSA 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. PSA 82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. PSA 82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. PSA 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless:do justice to the afflicted and needy. PSA 82:4 Deliver the poor and needy:rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. PSA 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are out of course. PSA 82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. PSA 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. PSA 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth:for thou shalt inherit all nations. PSA 83:1 A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God:hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. PSA 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. PSA 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
