JOB-7:10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. JOB-7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. JOB-7:12 [Am] I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? JOB-7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; JOB-7:14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: JOB-7:15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my life. JOB-7:16 I loathe [it] ; I would not live alway:let me alone; for my days [are] vanity. JOB-7:17 What [is] man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? JOB-7:18 And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, [and] try him every moment? JOB-7:19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? JOB-7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? JOB-7:21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I [shall] not [be] . JOB-8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, JOB-8:2 How long wilt thou speak these [things] ? and [how long shall] the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind? JOB-8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? JOB-8:4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; JOB-8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; JOB-8:6 If thou [wert] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. JOB-8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. JOB-8:8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: JOB-8:9 ( For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow:) JOB-8:10 Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? JOB-8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? JOB-8:12 Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness, [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] herb. JOB-8:13 So [are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: JOB-8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a spider's web. JOB-8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. JOB-8:16 He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. JOB-8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] seeth the place of stones. JOB-8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him, [saying] , I have not seen thee. JOB-8:19 Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. JOB-8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect [man] , neither will he help the evil doers: JOB-8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. JOB-8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. JOB-9:1 Then Job answered and said, JOB-9:2 I know [it is] so of a truth:but how should man be just with God? JOB-9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. JOB-9:4 [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength:who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered? JOB-9:5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not:which overturneth them in his anger. JOB-9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. JOB-9:7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. JOB-9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. JOB-9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. JOB-9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. JOB-9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not:he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. JOB-9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? JOB-9:13 [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. JOB-9:14 How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him? JOB-9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge. JOB-9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. JOB-9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. JOB-9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. JOB-9:19 If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong:and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead] ? JOB-9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say] , I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. JOB-9:21 [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul:I would despise my life. JOB-9:22 This [is] one [thing] , therefore I said [it] , He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. JOB-9:23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. JOB-9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he? JOB-9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post:they flee away, they see no good. JOB-9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships:as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey. JOB-9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself] : JOB-9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. JOB-9:29 [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? JOB-9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; JOB-9:31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. JOB-9:32 For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment. JOB-9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both. JOB-9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: JOB-9:35 [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with me. JOB-10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. JOB-10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore thou contendest with me. JOB-10:3 [Is it] good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? JOB-10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? JOB-10:5 [Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's days, JOB-10:6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? JOB-10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine hand. JOB-10:8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. JOB-10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? JOB-10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? JOB-10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. JOB-10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. JOB-10:13 And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart:I know that this [is] with thee. JOB-10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. JOB-10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet] will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; JOB-10:16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. JOB-10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me. JOB-10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! JOB-10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. JOB-10:20 [Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, JOB-10:21 Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; JOB-10:22 A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness. JOB-11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, JOB-11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? JOB-11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? JOB-11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. JOB-11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; JOB-11:6 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth] . JOB-11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? JOB-11:8 [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? JOB-11:9 The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. JOB-11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? JOB-11:11 For he knoweth vain men:he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it] ? JOB-11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass's colt. JOB-11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; JOB-11:14 If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. JOB-11:15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: JOB-11:16 Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away: JOB-11:17 And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. JOB-11:18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety. JOB-11:19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. JOB-11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope [shall be as] the giving up of the ghost. JOB-12:1 And Job answered and said, JOB-12:2 No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with you. JOB-12:3 But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to you:yea, who knoweth not such things as these? JOB-12:4 I am [as] one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him:the just upright [man is] laughed to scorn. JOB-12:5 He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. JOB-12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly] . JOB-12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: JOB-12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee:and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. JOB-12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? JOB-12:10 In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. JOB-12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? JOB-12:12 With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding. JOB-12:13 With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. JOB-12:14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. JOB-12:15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. JOB-12:16 With him [is] strength and wisdom:the deceived and the deceiver [are] his. JOB-12:17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. JOB-12:18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. JOB-12:19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. JOB-12:20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. JOB-12:21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. JOB-12:22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. JOB-12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them [again] . JOB-12:24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way. JOB-12:25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like [a] drunken [man] . JOB-13:1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this] , mine ear hath heard and understood it. JOB-13:2 What ye know, [the same] do I know also:I [am] not inferior unto you. JOB-13:3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. JOB-13:4 But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value. JOB-13:5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. JOB-13:6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. JOB-13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? JOB-13:8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? JOB-13:9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him? JOB-13:10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. JOB-13:11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? JOB-13:12 Your remembrances [are] like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. JOB-13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will] . JOB-13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? JOB-13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:but I will maintain mine own ways before him. JOB-13:16 He also [shall be] my salvation:for an hypocrite shall not come before him. JOB-13:17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. JOB-13:18 Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified. JOB-13:19 Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. JOB-13:20 Only do not two [things] unto me:then will I not hide myself from thee. JOB-13:21 Withdraw thine hand far from me:and let not thy dread make me afraid. JOB-13:22 Then call thou, and I will answer:or let me speak, and answer thou me. JOB-13:23 How many [are] mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. JOB-13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? JOB-13:25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? JOB-13:26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. JOB-13:27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. JOB-13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. JOB-14:1 Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble. JOB-14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. JOB-14:3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? JOB-14:4 Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one. JOB-14:5 Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months [are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; JOB-14:6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. JOB-14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. JOB-14:8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; JOB-14:9 [Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. JOB-14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away:yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he? JOB-14:11 [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: JOB-14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not:till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. JOB-14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! JOB-14:14 If a man die, shall he live [again] ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. JOB-14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee:thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. JOB-14:16 For now thou numberest my steps:dost thou not watch over my sin? JOB-14:17 My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. JOB-14:18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. JOB-14:19 The waters wear the stones:thou washest away the things which grow [out] of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. JOB-14:20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. JOB-14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth [it] not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth [it] not of them. JOB-14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. JOB-15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, JOB-15:2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? JOB-15:3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? JOB-15:4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. JOB-15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. JOB-15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I:yea, thine own lips testify against thee. JOB-15:7 [Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills? JOB-15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? JOB-15:9 What knowest thou, that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us? JOB-15:10 With us [are] both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father. JOB-15:11 [Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee? JOB-15:12 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, JOB-15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth? JOB-15:14 What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he which is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous? JOB-15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. JOB-15:16 How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, which drinketh iniquity like water? JOB-15:17 I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen I will declare; JOB-15:18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it] : JOB-15:19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them. JOB-15:20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. JOB-15:21 A dreadful sound [is] in his ears:in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. JOB-15:22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. JOB-15:23 He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying] , Where [is it] ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. JOB-15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. JOB-15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. JOB-15:26 He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers: JOB-15:27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks. JOB-15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. JOB-15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. JOB-15:30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. JOB-15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity:for vanity shall be his recompense. JOB-15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green. JOB-15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. JOB-15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. JOB-15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit. JOB-16:1 Then Job answered and said, JOB-16:2 I have heard many such things:miserable comforters [are] ye all. JOB-16:3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? JOB-16:4 I also could speak as ye [do] :if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. JOB-16:5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief] . JOB-16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:and [though] I forbear, what am I eased? JOB-16:7 But now he hath made me weary:thou hast made desolate all my company. JOB-16:8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness [against me] :and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. JOB-16:9 He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me:he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. JOB-16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. JOB-16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. JOB-16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder:he hath also taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. JOB-16:13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. JOB-16:14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. JOB-16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. JOB-16:16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death; JOB-16:17 Not for [any] injustice in mine hands:also my prayer [is] pure. JOB-16:18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. JOB-16:19 Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high. JOB-16:20 My friends scorn me:[but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God. JOB-16:21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour! JOB-16:22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return. JOB-17:1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me. JOB-17:2 [Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? JOB-17:3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me? JOB-17:4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them] . JOB-17:5 He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. JOB-17:6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. JOB-17:7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shadow. JOB-17:8 Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. JOB-17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. JOB-17:10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now:for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you. JOB-17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the thoughts of my heart. JOB-17:12 They change the night into day:the light [is] short because of darkness. JOB-17:13 If I wait, the grave [is] mine house:I have made my bed in the darkness. JOB-17:14 I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father:to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister. JOB-17:15 And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? JOB-17:16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust. JOB-18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, JOB-18:2 How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. JOB-18:3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight? JOB-18:4 He teareth himself in his anger:shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? JOB-18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. JOB-18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. JOB-18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. JOB-18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. JOB-18:9 The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him. JOB-18:10 The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. JOB-18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. JOB-18:12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side. JOB-18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin:[even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. JOB-18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. JOB-18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his:brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. JOB-18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. JOB-18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. JOB-18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. JOB-18:19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. JOB-18:20 They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. JOB-18:21 Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God. JOB-19:1 Then Job answered and said, JOB-19:2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? JOB-19:3 These ten times have ye reproached me:ye are not ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me. JOB-19:4 And be it indeed [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. JOB-19:5 If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach: JOB-19:6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. JOB-19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard:I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment. JOB-19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. JOB-19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown [from] my head. JOB-19:10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone:and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. JOB-19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his enemies. JOB-19:12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. JOB-19:13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. JOB-19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. JOB-19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger:I am an alien in their sight. JOB-19:16 I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I entreated him with my mouth. JOB-19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's [sake] of mine own body. JOB-19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. JOB-19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me:and they whom I loved are turned against me. JOB-19:20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. JOB-19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. JOB-19:22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? JOB-19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! JOB-19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! JOB-19:25 For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth: JOB-19:26 And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body] , yet in my flesh shall I see God: JOB-19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me. JOB-19:28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? JOB-19:29 Be ye afraid of the sword:for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a judgment. JOB-20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, JOB-20:2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste. JOB-20:3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. JOB-20:4 Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth, JOB-20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment? JOB-20:6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; JOB-20:7 [Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung:they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he? JOB-20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. JOB-20:9 The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. JOB-20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. JOB-20:11 His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. JOB-20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue; JOB-20:13 [Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: JOB-20:14 [Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of asps within him. JOB-20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again:God shall cast them out of his belly. JOB-20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps:the viper's tongue shall slay him. JOB-20:17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. JOB-20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow [it] down:according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution [be] , and he shall not rejoice [therein] . JOB-20:19 Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; JOB-20:20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. JOB-20:21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. JOB-20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. JOB-20:23 [When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating. JOB-20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through. JOB-20:25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall:terrors [are] upon him. JOB-20:26 All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places:a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. JOB-20:27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. JOB-20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath. JOB-20:29 This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. JOB-21:1 But Job answered and said, JOB-21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. JOB-21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. JOB-21:4 As for me, [is] my complaint to man? and if [it were so] , why should not my spirit be troubled? JOB-21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay [your] hand upon [your] mouth. JOB-21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. JOB-21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? JOB-21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. JOB-21:9 Their houses [are] safe from fear, neither [is] the rod of God upon them. JOB-21:10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. JOB-21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. JOB-21:12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. JOB-21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. JOB-21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. JOB-21:15 What [is] the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? JOB-21:16 Lo, their good [is] not in their hand:the counsel of the wicked is far from me. JOB-21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and [how oft] cometh their destruction upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger. JOB-21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. JOB-21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children:he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it] . JOB-21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. JOB-21:21 For what pleasure [hath] he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? JOB-21:22 Shall [any] teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. JOB-21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. JOB-21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. JOB-21:25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. JOB-21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. JOB-21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me. JOB-21:28 For ye say, Where [is] the house of the prince? and where [are] the dwelling places of the wicked? JOB-21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, JOB-21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. JOB-21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him [what] he hath done? JOB-21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. JOB-21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as [there are] innumerable before him. JOB-21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? JOB-22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, JOB-22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? JOB-22:3 [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or [is it] gain [to him] , that thou makest thy ways perfect? JOB-22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? JOB-22:5 [Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? JOB-22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. JOB-22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. JOB-22:8 But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it. JOB-22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. JOB-22:10 Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; JOB-22:11 Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. JOB-22:12 [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! JOB-22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? JOB-22:14 Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. JOB-22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? JOB-22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: JOB-22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us:and what can the Almighty do for them? JOB-22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good [things] :but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. JOB-22:19 The righteous see [it] , and are glad:and the innocent laugh them to scorn. JOB-22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. JOB-22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:thereby good shall come unto thee. JOB-22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. JOB-22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. JOB-22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. JOB-22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. JOB-22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. JOB-22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. JOB-22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee:and the light shall shine upon thy ways. JOB-22:29 When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. JOB-22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent:and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands. JOB-23:1 Then Job answered and said, JOB-23:2 Even to day [is] my complaint bitter:my stroke is heavier than my groaning. JOB-23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come [even] to his seat! JOB-23:4 I would order [my] cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. JOB-23:5 I would know the words [which] he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. JOB-23:6 Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me. JOB-23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. JOB-23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he [is] not [there] ; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: JOB-23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold [him] :he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see [him] : JOB-23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take:[when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. JOB-23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. JOB-23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food] . JOB-23:13 But he [is] in one [mind] , and who can turn him? and [what] his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth. JOB-23:14 For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him. JOB-23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence:when I consider, I am afraid of him. JOB-23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: JOB-23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face. JOB-24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? JOB-24:2 [Some] remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed [thereof] . JOB-24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. JOB-24:4 They turn the needy out of the way:the poor of the earth hide themselves together. JOB-24:5 Behold, [as] wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey:the wilderness [yieldeth] food for them [and] for [their] children. JOB-24:6 They reap [every one] his corn in the field:and they gather the vintage of the wicked. JOB-24:7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that [they have] no covering in the cold. JOB-24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. JOB-24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. JOB-24:10 They cause [him] to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf [from] the hungry; JOB-24:11 [Which] make oil within their walls, [and] tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst. JOB-24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out:yet God layeth not folly [to them] . JOB-24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. JOB-24:14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. JOB-24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me:and disguiseth [his] face. JOB-24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, [which] they had marked for themselves in the daytime:they know not the light. JOB-24:17 For the morning [is] to them even as the shadow of death:if [one] know [them, they are in] the terrors of the shadow of death. JOB-24:18 He [is] swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth:he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. JOB-24:19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters:[so doth] the grave [those which] have sinned. JOB-24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. JOB-24:21 He evil entreateth the barren [that] beareth not:and doeth not good to the widow. JOB-24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power:he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life. JOB-24:23 [Though] it be given him [to be] in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways. JOB-24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all [other] , and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. JOB-24:25 And if [it be] not [so] now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? JOB-25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, JOB-25:2 Dominion and fear [are] with him, he maketh peace in his high places. JOB-25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? JOB-25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean [that is] born of a woman? JOB-25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. JOB-25:6 How much less man, [that is] a worm? and the son of man, [which is] a worm? JOB-26:1 But Job answered and said, JOB-26:2 How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength? JOB-26:3 How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? JOB-26:4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? JOB-26:5 Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. JOB-26:6 Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. JOB-26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing. JOB-26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. JOB-26:9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it. JOB-26:10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. JOB-26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. JOB-26:12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. JOB-26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. JOB-26:14 Lo, these [are] parts of his ways:but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? JOB-27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, JOB-27:2 [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul; JOB-27:3 All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils; JOB-27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. JOB-27:5 God forbid that I should justify you:till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. JOB-27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live. JOB-27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. JOB-27:8 For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? JOB-27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? JOB-27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? JOB-27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God:[that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal. JOB-27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it] ; why then are ye thus altogether vain? JOB-27:13 This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty. JOB-27:14 If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. JOB-27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:and his widows shall not weep. JOB-27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; JOB-27:17 He may prepare [it] , but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. JOB-27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh. JOB-27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not. JOB-27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. JOB-27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. JOB-27:22 For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare:he would fain flee out of his hand. JOB-27:23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. JOB-28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold [where] they fine [it] . JOB-28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass [is] molten [out of] the stone. JOB-28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection:the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. JOB-28:4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; [even the waters] forgotten of the foot:they are dried up, they are gone away from men. JOB-28:5 [As for] the earth, out of it cometh bread:and under it is turned up as it were fire. JOB-28:6 The stones of it [are] the place of sapphires:and it hath dust of gold. JOB-28:7 [There is] a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: JOB-28:8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. JOB-28:9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. JOB-28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. JOB-28:11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and [the thing that is] hid bringeth he forth to light. JOB-28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where [is] the place of understanding? JOB-28:13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. JOB-28:14 The depth saith, It [is] not in me:and the sea saith, [It is] not with me. JOB-28:15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed [for] the price thereof. JOB-28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. JOB-28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it:and the exchange of it [shall not be for] jewels of fine gold. JOB-28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies. JOB-28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. JOB-28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where [is] the place of understanding? JOB-28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. JOB-28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. JOB-28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. JOB-28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, [and] seeth under the whole heaven; JOB-28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. JOB-28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: JOB-28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. JOB-28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding. JOB-29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, JOB-29:2 Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me; JOB-29:3 When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness; JOB-29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle; JOB-29:5 When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me; JOB-29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; JOB-29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street! JOB-29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves:and the aged arose, [and] stood up. JOB-29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth. JOB-29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. JOB-29:11 When the ear heard [me] , then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me] , it gave witness to me: JOB-29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him. JOB-29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. JOB-29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me:my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem. JOB-29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame. JOB-29:16 I [was] a father to the poor:and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out. JOB-29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. JOB-29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand. JOB-29:19 My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. JOB-29:20 My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. JOB-29:21 Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. JOB-29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. JOB-29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain. JOB-29:24 [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. JOB-29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners. JOB-30:1 But now [they that are] younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock. JOB-30:2 Yea, whereto [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me, in whom old age was perished? JOB-30:3 For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. JOB-30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their meat. JOB-30:5 They were driven forth from among [men] , ( they cried after them as [after] a thief; ) JOB-30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks. JOB-30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. JOB-30:8 [They were] children of fools, yea, children of base men:they were viler than the earth. JOB-30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. JOB-30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. JOB-30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. JOB-30:12 Upon [my] right [hand] rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. JOB-30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. JOB-30:14 They came [upon me] as a wide breaking in [of waters] : in the desolation they rolled themselves [upon me] . JOB-30:15 Terrors are turned upon me:they pursue my soul as the wind:and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. JOB-30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. JOB-30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season:and my sinews take no rest. JOB-30:18 By the great force [of my disease] is my garment changed:it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. JOB-30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. JOB-30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me:I stand up, and thou regardest me [not] . JOB-30:21 Thou art become cruel to me:with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. JOB-30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride [upon it] , and dissolvest my substance. JOB-30:23 For I know [that] thou wilt bring me [to] death, and [to] the house appointed for all living. JOB-30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out [his] hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. JOB-30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was [not] my soul grieved for the poor? JOB-30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came [unto me] :and when I waited for light, there came darkness. JOB-30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not:the days of affliction prevented me. JOB-30:28 I went mourning without the sun:I stood up, [and] I cried in the congregation. JOB-30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. JOB-30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. JOB-30:31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. JOB-31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? JOB-31:2 For what portion of God [is there] from above? and [what] inheritance of the Almighty from on high? JOB-31:3 [Is] not destruction to the wicked? and a strange [punishment] to the workers of iniquity? JOB-31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? JOB-31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; JOB-31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. JOB-31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; JOB-31:8 [Then] let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. JOB-31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; JOB-31:10 [Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. JOB-31:11 For this [is] an heinous crime; yea, it [is] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judges. JOB-31:12 For it [is] a fire [that] consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. JOB-31:13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; JOB-31:14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? JOB-31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? JOB-31:16 If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; JOB-31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; JOB-31:18 ( For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb; ) JOB-31:19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; JOB-31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep; JOB-31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: JOB-31:22 [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. JOB-31:23 For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. JOB-31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; JOB-31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much; JOB-31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness; JOB-31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: JOB-31:28 This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge:for I should have denied the God [that is] above. JOB-31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: JOB-31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. JOB-31:31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. JOB-31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street:[but] I opened my doors to the traveller. JOB-31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: JOB-31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door? JOB-31:35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book. JOB-31:36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me. JOB-31:37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. JOB-31:38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; JOB-31:39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: JOB-31:40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. JOB-32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes. JOB-32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram:against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. JOB-32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job. JOB-32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he. JOB-32:5 When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled. JOB-32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion. JOB-32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. JOB-32:8 But [there is] a spirit in man:and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. JOB-32:9 Great men are not [always] wise:neither do the aged understand judgment. JOB-32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion. JOB-32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. JOB-32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words: JOB-32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom:God thrusteth him down, not man. JOB-32:14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. JOB-32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more:they left off speaking. JOB-32:16 When I had waited, ( for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; ) JOB-32:17 [I said] , I will answer also my part, I also will show mine opinion. JOB-32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. JOB-32:19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. JOB-32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed:I will open my lips and answer. JOB-32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. JOB-32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away. JOB-33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. JOB-33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. JOB-33:3 My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart:and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. JOB-33:4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. JOB-33:5 If thou canst answer me, set [thy words] in order before me, stand up. JOB-33:6 Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God's stead:I also am formed out of the clay. JOB-33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. JOB-33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying] , JOB-33:9 I am clean without transgression, I [am] innocent; neither [is there] iniquity in me. JOB-33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, JOB-33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. JOB-33:12 Behold, [in] this thou art not just:I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. JOB-33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. JOB-33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not. JOB-33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; JOB-33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, JOB-33:17 That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man. JOB-33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. JOB-33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain] : JOB-33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. JOB-33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones [that] were not seen stick out. JOB-33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. JOB-33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness: JOB-33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit:I have found a ransom. JOB-33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's:he shall return to the days of his youth: JOB-33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:and he shall see his face with joy:for he will render unto man his righteousness. JOB-33:27 He looketh upon men, and [if any] say, I have sinned, and perverted [that which was] right, and it profited me not; JOB-33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. JOB-33:29 Lo, all these [things] worketh God oftentimes with man, JOB-33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. JOB-33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me:hold thy peace, and I will speak. JOB-33:32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me:speak, for I desire to justify thee. JOB-33:33 If not, hearken unto me:hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. JOB-34:1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, JOB-34:2 Hear my words, O ye wise [men] ; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. JOB-34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. JOB-34:4 Let us choose to us judgment:let us know among ourselves what [is] good. JOB-34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous:and God hath taken away my judgment. JOB-34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression. JOB-34:7 What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water? JOB-34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. JOB-34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. JOB-34:10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:far be it from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he should commit] iniquity. JOB-34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways. JOB-34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. JOB-34:13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? JOB-34:14 If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; JOB-34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. JOB-34:16 If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this:hearken to the voice of my words. JOB-34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? JOB-34:18 [Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly? JOB-34:19 [How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands. JOB-34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away:and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. JOB-34:21 For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. JOB-34:22 [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. JOB-34:23 For he will not lay upon man more [than right] ; that he should enter into judgment with God. JOB-34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. JOB-34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed. JOB-34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; JOB-34:27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: JOB-34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. JOB-34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth [his] face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man only: JOB-34:30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. JOB-34:31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement] , I will not offend [any more] : JOB-34:32 [That which] I see not teach thou me:if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. JOB-34:33 [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I:therefore speak what thou knowest. JOB-34:34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. JOB-34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom. JOB-34:36 My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers for wicked men. JOB-34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against God. JOB-35:1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, JOB-35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's? JOB-35:3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and] , What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin? JOB-35:4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. JOB-35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou. JOB-35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? JOB-35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? JOB-35:8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art] ; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man. JOB-35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry:they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. JOB-35:10 But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; JOB-35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? JOB-35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. JOB-35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. JOB-35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him. JOB-35:15 But now, because [it is] not [so] , he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity: JOB-35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. JOB-36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said, JOB-36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that [I have] yet to speak on God's behalf. JOB-36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. JOB-36:4 For truly my words [shall] not [be] false:he that is perfect in knowledge [is] with thee. JOB-36:5 Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any:he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom. JOB-36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked:but giveth right to the poor. JOB-36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:but with kings [are they] on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. JOB-36:8 And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of affliction; JOB-36:9 Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. JOB-36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. JOB-36:11 If they obey and serve [him] , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. JOB-36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. JOB-36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath:they cry not when he bindeth them. JOB-36:14 They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean. JOB-36:15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. JOB-36:16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait [into] a broad place, where [there is] no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table [should be] full of fatness. JOB-36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee] . JOB-36:18 Because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest he take thee away with [his] stroke:then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. JOB-36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? [no] , not gold, nor all the forces of strength. JOB-36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. JOB-36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity:for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. JOB-36:22 Behold, God exalteth by his power:who teacheth like him? JOB-36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? JOB-36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. JOB-36:25 Every man may see it; man may behold [it] afar off. JOB-36:26 Behold, God [is] great, and we know [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. JOB-36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water:they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: JOB-36:28 Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon man abundantly. JOB-36:29 Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the noise of his tabernacle? JOB-36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. JOB-36:31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. JOB-36:32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt. JOB-36:33 The noise thereof showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. JOB-37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. JOB-37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth. JOB-37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. JOB-37:4 After it a voice roareth:he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. JOB-37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. JOB-37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. JOB-37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. JOB-37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. JOB-37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind:and cold out of the north. JOB-37:10 By the breath of God frost is given:and the breadth of the waters is straitened. JOB-37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud:he scattereth his bright cloud: JOB-37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels:that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. JOB-37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. JOB-37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job:stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. JOB-37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? JOB-37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? JOB-37:17 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind] ? JOB-37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking glass? JOB-37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness. JOB-37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. JOB-37:21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds:but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. JOB-37:22 Fair weather cometh out of the north:with God [is] terrible majesty. JOB-37:23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out:[he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice:he will not afflict. JOB-37:24 Men do therefore fear him:he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart. JOB-38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, JOB-38:2 Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? JOB-38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. JOB-38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. JOB-38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? JOB-38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; JOB-38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? JOB-38:8 Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb? JOB-38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, JOB-38:10 And brake up for it my decreed [place] , and set bars and doors, JOB-38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further:and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? JOB-38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; [and] caused the dayspring to know his place; JOB-38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? JOB-38:14 It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a garment. JOB-38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. JOB-38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? JOB-38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? JOB-38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. JOB-38:19 Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof, JOB-38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof? JOB-38:21 Knowest thou [it] , because thou wast then born? or [because] the number of thy days [is] great? JOB-38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, JOB-38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? JOB-38:24 By what way is the light parted, [which] scattereth the east wind upon the earth? JOB-38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; JOB-38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is; on] the wilderness, wherein [there is] no man; JOB-38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground] ; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? JOB-38:28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? JOB-38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? JOB-38:30 The waters are hid as [with] a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. JOB-38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? JOB-38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? JOB-38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? JOB-38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? JOB-38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we [are] ? JOB-38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? JOB-38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, JOB-38:38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? JOB-38:39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, JOB-38:40 When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the covert to lie in wait? JOB-38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. JOB-39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? JOB-39:2 Canst thou number the months [that] they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? JOB-39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. JOB-39:4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. JOB-39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? JOB-39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. JOB-39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. JOB-39:8 The range of the mountains [is] his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. JOB-39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? JOB-39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? JOB-39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? JOB-39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [it into] thy barn? JOB-39:13 [Gavest thou] the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? JOB-39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, JOB-39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. JOB-39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not hers:her labour is in vain without fear; JOB-39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. JOB-39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. JOB-39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? JOB-39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils [is] terrible. JOB-39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength:he goeth on to meet the armed men. JOB-39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. JOB-39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. JOB-39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that [it is] the sound of the trumpet. JOB-39:25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. JOB-39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, [and] stretch her wings toward the south? JOB-39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? JOB-39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. JOB-39:29 From thence she seeketh the prey, [and] her eyes behold afar off. JOB-39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood:and where the slain [are] , there [is] she. JOB-40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, JOB-40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him] ? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. JOB-40:3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, JOB-40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. JOB-40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer:yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. JOB-40:6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, JOB-40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man:I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. JOB-40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? JOB-40:9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? JOB-40:10 Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. JOB-40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him. JOB-40:12 Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. JOB-40:13 Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret. JOB-40:14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. JOB-40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. JOB-40:16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly. JOB-40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. JOB-40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. JOB-40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God:he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him] . JOB-40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. JOB-40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. JOB-40:22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. JOB-40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not:he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. JOB-40:24 He taketh it with his eyes:[his] nose pierceth through snares. JOB-41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down? JOB-41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? JOB-41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft [words] unto thee? JOB-41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? JOB-41:5 Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? JOB-41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? JOB-41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? JOB-41:8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. JOB-41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain:shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him? JOB-41:10 None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up:who then is able to stand before me? JOB-41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine. JOB-41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. JOB-41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle? JOB-41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible round about. JOB-41:15 [His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal. JOB-41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. JOB-41:17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. JOB-41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning. JOB-41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out. JOB-41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron. JOB-41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. JOB-41:22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. JOB-41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together:they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. JOB-41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether [millstone] . JOB-41:25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid:by reason of breakings they purify themselves. JOB-41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold:the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. JOB-41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood. JOB-41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee:slingstones are turned with him into stubble. JOB-41:29 Darts are counted as stubble:he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. JOB-41:30 Sharp stones [are] under him:he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. JOB-41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot:he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. JOB-41:32 He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary. JOB-41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. JOB-41:34 He beholdeth all high [things] :he [is] a king over all the children of pride. JOB-42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, JOB-42:2 I know that thou canst do every [thing] , and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee. JOB-42:3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. JOB-42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. JOB-42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:but now mine eye seeth thee. JOB-42:6 Wherefore I abhor [myself] , and repent in dust and ashes. JOB-42:7 And it was [so] , that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends:for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath] . JOB-42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you:for him will I accept:lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job. JOB-42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them:the LORD also accepted Job. JOB-42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. JOB-42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house:and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him:every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. JOB-42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. JOB-42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. JOB-42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. JOB-42:15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job:and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. JOB-42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations. JOB-42:17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days. PS-1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. PS-1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. PS-1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. PS-1:4 The ungodly [are] not so:but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. PS-1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. PS-1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:but the way of the ungodly shall perish. PS-2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? PS-2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying] , PS-2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. PS-2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:the Lord shall have them in derision. PS-2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. PS-2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. PS-2:7 I will declare the decree:the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. PS-2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession. PS-2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. PS-2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:be instructed, ye judges of the earth. PS-2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. PS-2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him. PS-3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me. PS-3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah. PS-3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. PS-3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. PS-3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. PS-3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me round about. PS-3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God:for thou hast smitten all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. PS-3:8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD:thy blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah. PS-4:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. PS-4:2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah. PS-4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself:the LORD will hear when I call unto him. PS-4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not:commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. PS-4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. PS-4:6 [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. PS-4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased. PS-4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. PS-5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. PS-5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:for unto thee will I pray. PS-5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up. PS-5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. PS-5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:thou hatest all workers of iniquity. PS-5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. PS-5:7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:[and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. PS-5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. PS-5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. PS-5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. PS-5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. PS-5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield. PS-6:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. PS-6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak:O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. PS-6:3 My soul is also sore vexed:but thou, O LORD, how long? PS-6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:oh save me for thy mercies' sake. PS-6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee:in the grave who shall give thee thanks? PS-6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. PS-6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. PS-6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. PS-6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. PS-6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly. PS-7:1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: PS-7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver. PS-7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; PS-7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; ( yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: ) PS-7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it] ; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. PS-7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded. PS-7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:for their sakes therefore return thou on high. PS-7:8 The LORD shall judge the people:judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me. PS-7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just:for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. PS-7:10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart. PS-7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. PS-7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. PS-7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. PS-7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. PS-7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made. PS-7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. PS-7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. PS-8:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. PS-8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. PS-8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; PS-8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? PS-8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. PS-8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: PS-8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; PS-8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. PS-8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! PS-9:1 To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise [thee] , O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. PS-9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. PS-9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. PS-9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. PS-9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. PS-9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. PS-9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever:he hath prepared his throne for judgment. PS-9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. PS-9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. PS-9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. PS-9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:declare among the people his doings. PS-9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. PS-9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: PS-9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion:I will rejoice in thy salvation. PS-9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made:in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. PS-9:16 The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. PS-9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. PS-9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever. PS-9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail:let the heathen be judged in thy sight. PS-9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD:[that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah. PS-10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble? PS-10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor:let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. PS-10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth. PS-10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God] :God [is] not in all his thoughts. PS-10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight:[as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them. PS-10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:for [I shall] never [be] in adversity. PS-10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud:under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity. PS-10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages:in the secret places doth he murder the innocent:his eyes are privily set against the poor. PS-10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den:he lieth in wait to catch the poor:he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. PS-10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. PS-10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:he hideth his face; he will never see [it] . PS-10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand:forget not the humble. PS-10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it] . PS-10:14 Thou hast seen [it] :for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand:the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. PS-10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man] : seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. PS-10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever:the heathen are perished out of his land. PS-10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: PS-10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. PS-11:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD put I my trust:how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain? PS-11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. PS-11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? PS-11:4 The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in heaven:his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. PS-11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous:but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. PS-11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest:[this shall be] the portion of their cup. PS-11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. PS-12:1 To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. PS-12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:[with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak. PS-12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things: PS-12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own:who [is] lord over us? PS-12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from him that] puffeth at him. PS-12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words:[as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. PS-12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. PS-12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. PS-13:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? PS-13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? PS-13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God:lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death; PS-13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. PS-13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. PS-13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. PS-14:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good. PS-14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God. PS-14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy:[there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. PS-14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. PS-14:5 There were they in great fear:for God [is] in the generation of the righteous. PS-14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge. PS-14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. PS-15:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? PS-15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. PS-15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. PS-15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth not. PS-15:5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved. PS-16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God:for in thee do I put my trust. PS-16:2 [O my soul] , thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord:my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; PS-16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. PS-16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god] :their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. PS-16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:thou maintainest my lot. PS-16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places] ; yea, I have a goodly heritage. PS-16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel:my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. PS-16:8 I have set the LORD always before me:because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. PS-16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:my flesh also shall rest in hope. PS-16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. PS-16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life:in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. PS-17:1 A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips. PS-17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. PS-17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress. PS-17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer. PS-17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not. PS-17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech. PS-17:7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them] . PS-17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, PS-17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass me about. PS-17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat:with their mouth they speak proudly. PS-17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps:they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; PS-17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. PS-17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down:deliver my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword: PS-17:14 From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure] :they are full of children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes. PS-17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. PS-18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. PS-18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. PS-18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. PS-18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. PS-18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:the snares of death prevented me. PS-18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears. PS-18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. PS-18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured:coals were kindled by it. PS-18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down:and darkness [was] under his feet. PS-18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. PS-18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. PS-18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire. PS-18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. PS-18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. PS-18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. PS-18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. PS-18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me:for they were too strong for me. PS-18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:but the LORD was my stay. PS-18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. PS-18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. PS-18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. PS-18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. PS-18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. PS-18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. PS-18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright; PS-18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. PS-18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. PS-18:28 For thou wilt light my candle:the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. PS-18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. PS-18:30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect:the word of the LORD is tried:he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him. PS-18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? PS-18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. PS-18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet] , and setteth me upon my high places. PS-18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. PS-18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. PS-18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. PS-18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:neither did I turn again till they were consumed. PS-18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. PS-18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. PS-18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. PS-18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them:even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. PS-18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. PS-18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen:a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me. PS-18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me:the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. PS-18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. PS-18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. PS-18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. PS-18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies:yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me:thou hast delivered me from the violent man. PS-18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. PS-18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. PS-19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. PS-19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. PS-19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. PS-19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, PS-19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. PS-19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it:and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. PS-19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. PS-19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. PS-19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever:the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. PS-19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold:sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. PS-19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:[and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward. PS-19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults] . PS-19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins] ; let them not have dominion over me:then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. PS-19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. PS-20:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; PS-20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; PS-20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. PS-20:4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. PS-20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners:the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. PS-20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. PS-20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses:but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. PS-20:8 They are brought down and fallen:but we are risen, and stand upright. PS-20:9 Save, LORD:let the king hear us when we call. PS-21:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! PS-21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. PS-21:3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. PS-21:4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days for ever and ever. PS-21:5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation:honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. PS-21:6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. PS-21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. PS-21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. PS-21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. PS-21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. PS-21:11 For they intended evil against thee:they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform] . PS-21:12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them. PS-21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:[so] will we sing and praise thy power. PS-22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? PS-22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. PS-22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel. PS-22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee:they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. PS-22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. PS-22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. PS-22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn:they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying] , PS-22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him:let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. PS-22:9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb:thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts. PS-22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb:thou [art] my God from my mother's belly. PS-22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help. PS-22:12 Many bulls have compassed me:strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round. PS-22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion. PS-22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. PS-22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. PS-22:16 For dogs have compassed me:the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me:they pierced my hands and my feet. PS-22:17 I may tell all my bones:they look [and] stare upon me. PS-22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. PS-22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD:O my strength, haste thee to help me. PS-22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. PS-22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth:for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. PS-22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren:in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. PS-22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. PS-22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. PS-22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. PS-22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied:they shall praise the LORD that seek him:your heart shall live for ever. PS-22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD:and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. PS-22:28 For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S:and he [is] the governor among the nations. PS-22:29 All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him:and none can keep alive his own soul. PS-22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. PS-22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this] . PS-23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. PS-23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside the still waters. PS-23:3 He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. PS-23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. PS-23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. PS-23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. PS-24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. PS-24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. PS-24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? PS-24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. PS-24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. PS-24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. PS-24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. PS-24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. PS-24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. PS-24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah. PS-25:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. PS-25:2 O my God, I trust in thee:let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. PS-25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. PS-25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. PS-25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. PS-25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old. PS-25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. PS-25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD:therefore will he teach sinners in the way. PS-25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment:and the meek will he teach his way. PS-25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. PS-25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great. PS-25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. PS-25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. PS-25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. PS-25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. PS-25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. PS-25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:[O] bring thou me out of my distresses. PS-25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. PS-25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. PS-25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. PS-25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. PS-25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. PS-26:1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity:I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide. PS-26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. PS-26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes:and I have walked in thy truth. PS-26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. PS-26:5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. PS-26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency:so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: PS-26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. PS-26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. PS-26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: PS-26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. PS-26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:redeem me, and be merciful unto me. PS-26:12 My foot standeth in an even place:in the congregations will I bless the LORD. PS-27:1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? PS-27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. PS-27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident. PS-27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. PS-27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. PS-27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. PS-27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice:have mercy also upon me, and answer me. PS-27:8 [When thou saidst] , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. PS-27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in anger:thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. PS-27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. PS-27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. PS-27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. PS-27:13 [I had fainted] , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. PS-27:14 Wait on the LORD:be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:wait, I say, on the LORD. PS-28:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me:lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. PS-28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. PS-28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their hearts. PS-28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours:give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. PS-28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. PS-28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. PS-28:7 The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. PS-28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of his anointed. PS-28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:feed them also, and lift them up for ever. PS-29:1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. PS-29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PS-29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters:the God of glory thundereth:the LORD [is] upon many waters. PS-29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty. PS-29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. PS-29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. PS-29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. PS-29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. PS-29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests:and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory. PS-29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. PS-29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. PS-30:1 A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. PS-30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. PS-30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. PS-30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. PS-30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life:weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. PS-30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. PS-30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled. PS-30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. PS-30:9 What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? PS-30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me:LORD, be thou my helper. PS-30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; PS-30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. PS-31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:deliver me in thy righteousness. PS-31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. PS-31:3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. PS-31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:for thou [art] my strength. PS-31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. PS-31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities:but I trust in the LORD. PS-31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; PS-31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:thou hast set my feet in a large room. PS-31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble:mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea] , my soul and my belly. PS-31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. PS-31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance:they that did see me without fled from me. PS-31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:I am like a broken vessel. PS-31:13 For I have heard the slander of many:fear [was] on every side:while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. PS-31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD:I said, Thou [art] my God. PS-31:15 My times [are] in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. PS-31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:save me for thy mercies' sake. PS-31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave. PS-31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. PS-31:19 [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! PS-31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man:thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. PS-31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD:for he hath showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. PS-31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. PS-31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints:[for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. PS-31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. PS-32:1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered. PS-32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. PS-32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. PS-32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. PS-32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. PS-32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. PS-32:7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. PS-32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:I will guide thee with mine eye. PS-32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding:whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. PS-32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked:but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. PS-32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart. PS-33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:[for] praise is comely for the upright. PS-33:2 Praise the LORD with harp:sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings. PS-33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. PS-33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth. PS-33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment:the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. PS-33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. PS-33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. PS-33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD:let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. PS-33:9 For he spake, and it was [done] ; he commanded, and it stood fast. PS-33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. PS-33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. PS-33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance. PS-33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. PS-33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. PS-33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. PS-33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. PS-33:17 An horse [is] a vain thing for safety:neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength. PS-33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; PS-33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. PS-33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD:he [is] our help and our shield. PS-33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. PS-33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. PS-34:1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times:his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth. PS-34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:the humble shall hear [thereof] , and be glad. PS-34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. PS-34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. PS-34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened:and their faces were not ashamed. PS-34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him] , and saved him out of all his troubles. PS-34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. PS-34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good:blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. PS-34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints:for [there is] no want to them that fear him. PS-34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing] . PS-34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:I will teach you the fear of the LORD. PS-34:12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good? PS-34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. PS-34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. PS-34:15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry. PS-34:16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. PS-34:17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. PS-34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. PS-34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous:but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. PS-34:20 He keepeth all his bones:not one of them is broken. PS-34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked:and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. PS-34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants:and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. PS-35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause] , O LORD, with them that strive with me:fight against them that fight against me. PS-35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. PS-35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me:say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. PS-35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul:let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. PS-35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:and let the angel of the LORD chase [them] . PS-35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery:and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. PS-35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. PS-35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:into that very destruction let him fall. PS-35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:it shall rejoice in his salvation. PS-35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? PS-35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not. PS-35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul. PS-35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth:I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. PS-35:14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother:I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother. PS-35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:[yea] , the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me] , and ceased not: PS-35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. PS-35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. PS-35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation:I will praise thee among much people. PS-35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:[neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. PS-35:20 For they speak not peace:but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land. PS-35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it] . PS-35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD:keep not silence:O LORD, be not far from me. PS-35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. PS-35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. PS-35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it:let them not say, We have swallowed him up. PS-35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt:let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me. PS-35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. PS-35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long. PS-36:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that there is] no fear of God before his eyes. PS-36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. PS-36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit:he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good. PS-36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil. PS-36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. PS-36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep:O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. PS-36:7 How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. PS-36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. PS-36:9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life:in thy light shall we see light. PS-36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. PS-36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. PS-36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen:they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. PS-37:1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. PS-37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. PS-37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. PS-37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. PS-37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. PS-37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. PS-37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. PS-37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. PS-37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off:but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. PS-37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be] :yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be] . PS-37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. PS-37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. PS-37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him:for he seeth that his day is coming. PS-37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation. PS-37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. PS-37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. PS-37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. PS-37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright:and their inheritance shall be for ever. PS-37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. PS-37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs:they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. PS-37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. PS-37:22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off. PS-37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD:and he delighteth in his way. PS-37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand. PS-37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. PS-37:26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed. PS-37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. PS-37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever:but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. PS-37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. PS-37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. PS-37:31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. PS-37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. PS-37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. PS-37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it] . PS-37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. PS-37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not:yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. PS-37:37 Mark the perfect [man] , and behold the upright:for the end of [that] man [is] peace. PS-37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:the end of the wicked shall be cut off. PS-37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD:[he is] their strength in the time of trouble. PS-37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them:he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. PS-38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath:neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. PS-38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. PS-38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin. PS-38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. PS-38:5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness. PS-38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. PS-38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease] :and [there is] no soundness in my flesh. PS-38:8 I am feeble and sore broken:I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. PS-38:9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. PS-38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me:as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. PS-38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. PS-38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me] : and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. PS-38:13 But I, as a deaf [man] , heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth. PS-38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs. PS-38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope:thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. PS-38:16 For I said, [Hear me] , lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me:when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me. PS-38:17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me. PS-38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. PS-38:19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. PS-38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is] . PS-38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD:O my God, be not far from me. 38: 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. PS-39:1 To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue:I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. PS-39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred. PS-39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:[then] spake I with my tongue, PS-39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am] . PS-39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee:verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah. PS-39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show:surely they are disquieted in vain:he heapeth up [riches] , and knoweth not who shall gather them. PS-39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee. PS-39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:make me not the reproach of the foolish. PS-39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it] . PS-39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me:I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. PS-39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:surely every man [is] vanity. Selah. PS-39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears:for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were] . PS-39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. PS-40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. PS-40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings. PS-40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto our God:many shall see [it] , and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. PS-40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. PS-40:5 Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward:they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:[if] I would declare and speak [of them] , they are more than can be numbered. PS-40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened:burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. PS-40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come:in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, PS-40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God:yea, thy law [is] within my heart. PS-40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. PS-40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. PS-40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. PS-40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about:mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head:therefore my heart faileth me. PS-40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me:O LORD, make haste to help me. PS-40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. PS-40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. PS-40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. PS-40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me:thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. PS-41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor:the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. PS-41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth:and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. PS-41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. PS-41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. PS-41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? PS-41:6 And if he come to see [me] , he speaketh vanity:his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it] . PS-41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me:against me do they devise my hurt. PS-41:8 An evil disease, [say they] , cleaveth fast unto him:and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more. PS-41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me. PS-41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. PS-41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. PS-41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. PS-41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. PS-42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. PS-42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:when shall I come and appear before God? PS-42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God? PS-42:4 When I remember these [things] , I pour out my soul in me:for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. PS-42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God:for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance. PS-42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me:therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. PS-42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. PS-42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the God of my life. PS-42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? PS-42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God? PS-42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God:for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. PS-43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. PS-43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength:why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? PS-43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth:let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. PS-43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy:yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. PS-43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God:for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. PS-44:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. PS-44:2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. PS-44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them:but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. PS-44:4 Thou art my King, O God:command deliverances for Jacob. PS-44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies:through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. PS-44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. PS-44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. PS-44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. PS-44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. PS-44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy:and they which hate us spoil for themselves. PS-44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. PS-44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price. PS-44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. PS-44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. PS-44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, PS-44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. PS-44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. PS-44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; PS-44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. PS-44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; PS-44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. PS-44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. PS-44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever. PS-44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression? PS-44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:our belly cleaveth unto the earth. PS-44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. PS-45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter:I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer. PS-45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men:grace is poured into thy lips:therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. PS-45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. PS-45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. PS-45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee. PS-45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever:the sceptre of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre. PS-45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. PS-45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. PS-45:9 Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women:upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. PS-45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; PS-45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:for he [is] thy Lord; and worship thou him. PS-45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; [even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour. PS-45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within:her clothing [is] of wrought gold. PS-45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. PS-45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought:they shall enter into the king's palace. PS-45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. PS-45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. PS-46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. PS-46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; PS-46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. PS-46:4 [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High. PS-46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:God shall help her, [and that] right early. PS-46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:he uttered his voice, the earth melted. PS-46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. PS-46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. PS-46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. PS-46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God:I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. PS-46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. PS-47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. PS-47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth. PS-47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. PS-47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. PS-47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. PS-47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises:sing praises unto our King, sing praises. PS-47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth:sing ye praises with understanding. PS-47:8 God reigneth over the heathen:God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. PS-47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, [even] the people of the God of Abraham:for the shields of the earth [belong] unto God:he is greatly exalted. PS-48:1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness. PS-48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King. PS-48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. PS-48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. PS-48:5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away. PS-48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail. PS-48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. PS-48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God:God will establish it for ever. Selah. PS-48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. PS-48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth:thy right hand is full of righteousness. PS-48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. PS-48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her:tell the towers thereof. PS-48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following. PS-48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever:he will be our guide [even] unto death. PS-49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world: PS-49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. PS-49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding. PS-49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable:I will open my dark saying upon the harp. PS-49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? PS-49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; PS-49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: PS-49:8 ( For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) PS-49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption. PS-49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. PS-49:11 Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names. PS-49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not:he is like the beasts [that] perish. PS-49:13 This their way [is] their folly:yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. PS-49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. PS-49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. PS-49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; PS-49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away:his glory shall not descend after him. PS-49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul:and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. PS-49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. PS-49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish. PS-50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. PS-50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. PS-50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. PS-50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. PS-50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. PS-50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:for God [is] judge himself. Selah. PS-50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee:I [am] God, [even] thy God. PS-50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me. PS-50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of thy folds. PS-50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills. PS-50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine. PS-50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof. PS-50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? PS-50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: PS-50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble:I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. PS-50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? PS-50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. PS-50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. PS-50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. PS-50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. PS-50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself:[but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes. PS-50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver. PS-50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation of God. PS-51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot outmy transgressions. PS-51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. PS-51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:and my sin [is] ever before me. PS-51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight:that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest. PS-51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. PS-51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom. PS-51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. PS-51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice. PS-51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. PS-51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. PS-51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. PS-51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit. PS-51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. PS-51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:[and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. PS-51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. PS-51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it] :thou delightest not in burnt offering. PS-51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit:a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. PS-51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:build thou the walls of Jerusalem. PS-51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. PS-52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually. PS-52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. PS-52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. PS-52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue. PS-52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. PS-52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: PS-52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness. PS-52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God:I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. PS-52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it] :and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints. PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:[there is] none that doeth good. PS-53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God. PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back:they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread:they have not called upon God. PS-53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was:for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee:thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them. PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. PS-54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. PS-54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. PS-54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul:they have not set God before them. Selah. PS-54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper:the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul. PS-54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:cut them off in thy truth. PS-54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good. PS-54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies. PS-55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me:I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; PS-55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked:for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me:and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues:for I have seen violence and strife in the city. PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof:deceit and guile depart not from her streets. PS-55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it] :neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him: PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company. PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell:for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:and he shall hear my voice. PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me:for there were many with me. PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:he hath broken his covenant. PS-55:21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart:his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords. PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. PS-55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God:for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up:for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High. PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. PS-56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. PS-56:5 Every day they wrest my words:all their thoughts [are] against me for evil. PS-56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. PS-56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God. PS-56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings:put thou my tears into thy bottle:[are they] not in thy book? PS-56:9 When I cry [unto thee] , then shall mine enemies turn back:this I know; for God [is] for me. PS-56:10 In God will I praise [his] word:in the LORD will I praise [his] word. PS-56:11 In God have I put my trust:I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. PS-56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God:I will render praises unto thee. PS-56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death:[wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? PS-57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me:for my soul trusteth in thee:yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast. PS-57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me. PS-57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. PS-57:4 My soul [is] among lions:[and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. PS-57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. PS-57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves] . Selah. PS-57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:I will sing and give praise. PS-57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:I [myself] will awake early. PS-57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:I will sing unto thee among the nations. PS-57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. PS-57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. PS-58:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? PS-58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. PS-58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. PS-58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent:[they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear; PS-58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. PS-58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. PS-58:7 Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually: [when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. PS-58:8 As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass away:[like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the sun. PS-58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath. PS-58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. PS-58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the righteous:verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. PS-59:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God:defend me from them that rise up against me. PS-59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. PS-59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul:the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD. PS-59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:awake to help me, and behold. PS-59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen:be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. PS-59:6 They return at evening:they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PS-59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:swords [are] in their lips:for who, [say they] , doth hear? PS-59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. PS-59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee:for God [is] my defence. PS-59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me:God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies. PS-59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. PS-59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride:and for cursing and lying [which] they speak. PS-59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them] , that they [may] not [be] :and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. PS-59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PS-59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. PS-59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning:for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. PS-59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing:for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy. PS-60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. PS-60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. PS-60:3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things:thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. PS-60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. PS-60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me. PS-60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. PS-60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; PS-60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. PS-60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? PS-60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and [thou] , O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies? PS-60:11 Give us help from trouble:for vain [is] the help of man. PS-60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly:for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies. PS-61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. PS-61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I. PS-61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy. PS-61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. PS-61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name. PS-61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life:[and] his years as many generations. PS-61:7 He shall abide before God for ever:O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him. PS-61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. PS-62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God:from him [cometh] my salvation. PS-62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. PS-62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you:as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a tottering fence. PS-62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency: they delight in lies:they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. PS-62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him. PS-62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation:[he is] my defence; I shall not be moved. PS-62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory:the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God. PS-62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him:God [is] a refuge for us. Selah. PS-62:9 Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high degree [are] a lie:to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether [lighter] than vanity. PS-62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them] . PS-62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God. PS-62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy:for thou renderest to every man according to his work. PS-63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee:my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; PS-63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary. PS-63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee. PS-63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live:I will lift up my hands in thy name. PS-63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips: PS-63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches. PS-63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. PS-63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee:thy right hand upholdeth me. PS-63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it] , shall go into the lower parts of the earth. PS-63:10 They shall fall by the sword:they shall be a portion for foxes. PS-63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory:but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. PS-64:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer:preserve my life from fear of the enemy. PS-64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: PS-64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words: PS-64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect:suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. PS-64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter:they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? PS-64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search:both the inward [thought] of every one [of them] , and the heart, [is] deep. PS-64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. PS-64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:all that see them shall flee away. PS-64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. PS-64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. PS-65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:and unto thee shall the vow be performed. PS-65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. PS-65:3 Iniquities prevail against me:[as for] our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. PS-65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts:we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple. PS-65:5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea: PS-65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power: PS-65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. PS-65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. PS-65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. PS-65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:thou settlest the furrows thereof:thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. PS-65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. PS-65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness:and the little hills rejoice on every side. PS-65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. PS-66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: PS-66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name:make his praise glorious. PS-66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. PS-66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah. PS-66:5 Come and see the works of God:[he is] terrible [in his] doing toward the children of men. PS-66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land] :they went through the flood on foot:there did we rejoice in him. PS-66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. PS-66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: PS-66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. PS-66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. PS-66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. PS-66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water:but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place] . PS-66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings:I will pay thee my vows, PS-66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. PS-66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. PS-66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. PS-66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. PS-66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me] : PS-66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me] ; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. PS-66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. PS-67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. PS-67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. PS-67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. PS-67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy:for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. PS-67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. PS-67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God, [even] our own God, shall bless us. PS-67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. PS-68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:let them also that hate him flee before him. PS-68:2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away:as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God. PS-68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. PS-68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. PS-68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation. PS-68:6 God setteth the solitary in families:he bringeth out those which are bound with chains:but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land] . PS-68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: PS-68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God:[even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel. PS-68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. PS-68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. PS-68:11 The Lord gave the word:great [was] the company of those that published [it] . PS-68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace:and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. PS-68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. PS-68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon. PS-68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan. PS-68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever. PS-68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels:the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place] . PS-68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them] . PS-68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. PS-68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death. PS-68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. PS-68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea: PS-68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same. PS-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. PS-68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels. PS-68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. PS-68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali. PS-68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength:strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. PS-68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. PS-68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with pieces of silver:scatter thou the people [that] delight in war. PS-68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. PS-68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: PS-68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice. PS-68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God:his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds. PS-68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places:the God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed [be] God. PS-69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul. PS-69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing:I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. PS-69:3 I am weary of my crying:my throat is dried:mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. PS-69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:then I restored [that] which I took not away. PS-69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. PS-69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake:let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. PS-69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. PS-69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. PS-69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. PS-69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. PS-69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. PS-69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards. PS-69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time:O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. PS-69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. PS-69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. PS-69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good:turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. PS-69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:hear me speedily. PS-69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it:deliver me because of mine enemies. PS-69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:mine adversaries [are] all before thee. PS-69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none. PS-69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. PS-69:22 Let their table become a snare before them:and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap. PS-69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. PS-69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. PS-69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents. PS-69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. PS-69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity:and let them not come into thy righteousness. PS-69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. PS-69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful:let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. PS-69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. PS-69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. PS-69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad:and your heart shall live that seek God. PS-69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. PS-69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. PS-69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. PS-69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it:and they that love his name shall dwell therein. PS-70:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. [Make haste] , O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. PS-70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. PS-70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. PS-70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. PS-70:5 But I [am] poor and needy:make haste unto me, O God:thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. PS-71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust:let me never be put to confusion. PS-71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. PS-71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress. PS-71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. PS-71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD:[thou art] my trust from my youth. PS-71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb:thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels:my praise [shall be] continually of thee. PS-71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge. PS-71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day. PS-71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. PS-71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, PS-71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him] . PS-71:12 O God, be not far from me:O my God, make haste for my help. PS-71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. PS-71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. PS-71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof] . PS-71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD:I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only. PS-71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth:and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. PS-71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come. PS-71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things:O God, who [is] like unto thee! PS-71:20 [Thou] , which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. PS-71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. PS-71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God:unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. PS-71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. PS-71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long:for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. PS-72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. PS-72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. PS-72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. PS-72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. PS-72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. PS-72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:as showers [that] water the earth. PS-72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. PS-72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. PS-72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. PS-72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. PS-72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him:all nations shall serve him. PS-72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper. PS-72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. PS-72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:and precious shall their blood be in his sight. PS-72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised. PS-72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. PS-72:17 His name shall endure for ever:his name shall be continued as long as the sun:and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. PS-72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. PS-72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever:and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen. PS-72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. PS-73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart. PS-73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. PS-73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked. PS-73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death:but their strength [is] firm. PS-73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men. PS-73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment. PS-73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:they have more than heart could wish. PS-73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression:they speak loftily. PS-73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. PS-73:10 Therefore his people return hither:and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them. PS-73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? PS-73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches. PS-73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency. PS-73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. PS-73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. PS-73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; PS-73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. PS-73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places:thou castedst them down into destruction. PS-73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. PS-73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so] , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. PS-73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. PS-73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant:I was [as] a beast before thee. PS-73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee:thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. PS-73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. PS-73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee] ? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. PS-73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth:[but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. PS-73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. PS-73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God:I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. PS-74:1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? PS-74:2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. PS-74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. PS-74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs. PS-74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. PS-74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. PS-74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. PS-74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. PS-74:9 We see not our signs:[there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long. PS-74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? PS-74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom. PS-74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. PS-74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. PS-74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. PS-74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood:thou driedst up mighty rivers. PS-74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine:thou hast prepared the light and the sun. PS-74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:thou hast made summer and winter. PS-74:18 Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. PS-74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of the wicked] :forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. PS-74:20 Have respect unto the covenant:for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. PS-74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed:let the poor and needy praise thy name. PS-74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. PS-74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies:the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. PS-75:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks:for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. PS-75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. PS-75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. PS-75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: PS-75:5 Lift not up your horn on high:speak [not with] a stiff neck. PS-75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. PS-75:7 But God [is] the judge:he putteth down one, and setteth up another. PS-75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same:but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them] . PS-75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. PS-75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. PS-76:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. In Judah [is] God known:his name [is] great in Israel. PS-76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. PS-76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. PS-76:4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey. PS-76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep:and none of the men of might have found their hands. PS-76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. PS-76:7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared:and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? PS-76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, PS-76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. PS-76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. PS-76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God:let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. PS-76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:[he is] terrible to the kings of the earth. PS-77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. PS-77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:my sore ran in the night, and ceased not:my soul refused to be comforted. PS-77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled:I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. PS-77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking:I am so troubled that I cannot speak. PS-77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. PS-77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:I commune with mine own heart:and my spirit made diligent search. PS-77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? PS-77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore? PS-77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. PS-77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity:[but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the most High. PS-77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD:surely I will remember thy wonders of old. PS-77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. PS-77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary:who [is so] great a God as [our] God? PS-77:14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders:thou hast declared thy strength among the people. PS-77:15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. PS-77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:the depths also were troubled. PS-77:17 The clouds poured out water:the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. PS-77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven:the lightnings lightened the world:the earth trembled and shook. PS-17:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. PS-77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. PS-78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. PS-78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable:I will utter dark sayings of old: PS-78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. PS-78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. PS-78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: PS-78:6 That the generation to come might know [them, even] the children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children: PS-78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: PS-78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. PS-78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. PS-78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; PS-78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had showed them. PS-78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan. PS-78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. PS-78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. PS-78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths. PS-78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. PS-78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. PS-78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. PS-78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? PS-78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? PS-78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this] , and was wroth:so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; PS-78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: PS-78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, PS-78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. PS-78:25 Man did eat angels' food:he sent them meat to the full. PS-78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:and by his power he brought in the south wind. PS-78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: PS-78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. PS-78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled:for he gave them their own desire; PS-78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [was] yet in their mouths, PS-78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel. PS-78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. PS-78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. PS-78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him:and they returned and inquired early after God. PS-78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer. PS-78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. PS-78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. PS-78:38 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not:yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. PS-78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. PS-78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert! PS-78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. PS-78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the enemy. PS-78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: PS-78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. PS-78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. PS-78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust. PS-78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. PS-78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. PS-78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them] . PS-78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; PS-78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham: PS-78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. PS-78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not:but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. PS-78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased. PS-78:55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. PS-78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: PS-78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. PS-78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. PS-78:59 When God heard [this] , he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: PS-78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which] he placed among men; PS-78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. PS-78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. PS-78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. PS-78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. PS-78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. PS-78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts:he put them to a perpetual reproach. PS-78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: PS-78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. PS-78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces] , like the earth which he hath established for ever. PS-78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: PS-78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. PS-78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. PS-79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. PS-79:2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. PS-79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them] . PS-79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. PS-79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? PS-79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. PS-79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. PS-79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities:let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us:for we are brought very low. PS-79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. PS-79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed. PS-79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; PS-79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. PS-79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever:we will show forth thy praise to all generations. PS-80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth. PS-80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us. PS-80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PS-80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? PS-80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. PS-80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:and our enemies laugh among themselves. PS-80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PS-80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. PS-80:9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. PS-80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars. PS-80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. PS-80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? PS-80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. PS-80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; PS-80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself. PS-80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down:they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. PS-80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself. PS-80:18 So will not we go back from thee:quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. PS-80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. PS-81:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength:make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. PS-81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. PS-81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. PS-81:4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob. PS-81:5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt:[where] I heard a language [that] I understood not. PS-81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:his hands were delivered from the pots. PS-81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder:I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. PS-81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; PS-81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. PS-81:10 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. PS-81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. PS-81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust:[and] they walked in their own counsels. PS-81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways! PS-81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. PS-81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him:but their time should have endured for ever. PS-81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. PS-82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. PS-82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. PS-82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless:do justice to the afflicted and needy. PS-82:4 Deliver the poor and needy:rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. PS-82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are out of course. PS-82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. PS-82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. PS-82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth:for thou shalt inherit all nations. PS-83:1 A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. PS-83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. PS-83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
