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

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

Psalms 1

1. Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0376> that walketh <1980> not

in the counsel <6098> of the ungodly <7563>, nor <3808> standeth

<5975> in the way <1870> of sinners <2400>, nor <3808> sitteth

<3427> in the seat <4186> of the scornful <3887>.

2 But his delight <2656> [is] in the law <8451> of the LORD

<3068>; and in his law <8451> doth he meditate <1897> day <3119>

and night <3915>.

3 And he shall be like a tree <6086> planted <8362> by the

rivers <6388> of water <4325>, that bringeth <5414> forth <5414>

his fruit <6529> in his season <6256>; his leaf <5929> also

shall not wither <5034>; and whatsoever he doeth <6213> shall

prosper <6743>.

4. The ungodly <7563> [are] not so <3651>: but [are] like the

chaff <4671> which <0834> the wind <7307> driveth <5086> away.

5 Therefore the ungodly <7563> shall not stand <6965> in the

judgment <4941>, nor sinners <2400> in the congregation <5712>

of the righteous <6662>.

6 For the LORD <3068> knoweth <3045> the way <1870> of the

righteous <6662>: but the way <1870> of the ungodly <7563> shall

perish <6>.

Psalms 2

1. Why <4100> do the heathen <1471> rage <7283>, and the people

<3816> imagine <1897> a vain <7385> thing?

2 The kings <4428> of the earth <0776> set <3320> themselves,

and the rulers <7336> take counsel <3245> together <3162>,

against <5921> the LORD <3068>, and against <5921> his anointed

<4899>, [saying],

3 Let us break <5423> their bands <4147> asunder, and cast

<7993> away their cords <5688> from us.

4 He that sitteth <3427> in the heavens <8064> shall laugh

<7832>: the Lord <0136> shall have them in derision <3932>.

5 Then <0227> shall he speak <1696> unto them in his wrath

<0639>, and vex <0926> them in his sore displeasure <2740>.

6 Yet have I set <5258> my king <4428> upon my holy <6944> hill

<2022> of Zion <6726>.

7. I will declare <5608> the decree <2706>: the LORD <3068>

hath said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my Son <1121>; this day

<3117> have I begotten <3205> thee.

8 Ask <7592> of me, and I shall give <5415> [thee] the heathen

<1471> [for] thine inheritance <5159>, and the uttermost <0657>

parts of the earth <0776> [for] thy possession <0272>.

9 Thou shalt break <7489> them with a rod <7626> of iron <1270>;

thou shalt dash <5310> them in pieces like a potter's <3335>

vessel <3627>.

10. Be wise <7919> now <6258> therefore, O ye kings <4428>: be

instructed <3256>, ye judges <8199> of the earth <0776>.

11 Serve <5647> the LORD <3068> with fear <3374>, and rejoice

<1523> with trembling <7460>.

12 Kiss <5401> the Son <1248>, lest <6435> he be angry <0599>,

and ye perish <6> [from] the way <1870>, when <3588> his wrath

<0639> is kindled <1197> but a little <4592>. Blessed <0835>

[are] all <3605> they that put their trust <2620> in him.

Psalms 3

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>, when he fled <1272> from

<6440> Absalom <53> his son <1121>. LORD <3068>, how <4100> are

they increased <7231> that trouble <6862> me! many <7227> [are]

they that rise <6965> up against <5921> me.

2 Many <7227> [there be] which say <0559> of my soul <5315>,

[There is] no <0369> help <3444> for him in God <0430>. Selah

<5542>.

3 But thou, O LORD <3068>, [art] a shield <4043> for me; my

glory <3519>, and the lifter <7311> up of mine head <7218>.

4. I cried <7121> unto the LORD <3068> with my voice <6963>,

and he heard <6030> me out of his holy <6944> hill <2022>. Selah

<5542>.

5 I laid <7901> me down <7901> and slept <3462>; I awaked

<6974>; for the LORD <3068> sustained <5564> me.

6 I will not be afraid <3372> of ten <7233> thousands <7233> of

people <5971>, that have set <7896> [themselves] against <5921>

me round <5439> about.

7 Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>; save <3467> me, O my God <0430>:

for thou hast smitten <5221> all <3605> mine enemies <0341>

[upon] the cheek <3895> bone; thou hast broken <7665> the teeth

<8127> of the ungodly <7563>.

8 Salvation <3444> [belongeth] unto the LORD <3068>: thy

blessing <1293> [is] upon thy people <5971>. Selah <5542>.

Psalms 4

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058>, A Psalm

<4210> of David <1732>. Hear <6030> me when I call <7121>, O God

<0430> of my righteousness <6664>: thou hast enlarged <7337> me

[when I was] in distress <6862>; have mercy <2603> upon me, and

hear <8085> my prayer <8605>.

2 O ye sons <1121> of men <0376>, how <5704> long <5704> [will

ye turn] my glory <3519> into shame <3639>? [how long] will ye

love <0157> vanity <7385>, [and] seek <1245> after leasing

<3577>? Selah <5542>.

3 But know <3045> that the LORD <3068> hath set <6395> apart

<6395> him that is godly <2623> for himself: the LORD <3068>

will hear <8085> when I call <7121> unto him.

4 Stand in awe <7264>, and sin <2398> not: commune <0559> with

your own heart <3824> upon your bed <4904>, and be still <1826>.

Selah <5542>.

5 Offer <2076> the sacrifices <2077> of righteousness <6664>,

and put your trust <0982> in the LORD <3068>.

6. [There be] many <7227> that say <0559>, Who <4310> will shew

<7200> us [any] good <2896>? LORD <3068>, lift <5375> thou up

the light <0216> of thy countenance <6440> upon us.

7 Thou hast put <5414> gladness <8057> in my heart <3820>, more

than in the time <6256> [that] their corn <1715> and their wine

<8492> increased <7231>.

8 I will both <3162> lay <7901> me down <7901> in peace <7965>,

and sleep <3462>: for thou, LORD <3068>, only <0910> makest me

dwell <3427> in safety <0983>.

Psalms 5

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Nehiloth <5155>, A Psalm

<4210> of David <1732>. Give ear <0238> to my words <0561>, O

LORD <3068>, consider <0995> my meditation <1901>.

2 Hearken <7181> unto the voice <6963> of my cry <7773>, my

King <4428>, and my God <0430>: for unto thee will I pray <6419>.

3 My voice <6963> shalt thou hear <8085> in the morning <1242>,

O LORD <3068>; in the morning <1242> will I direct <6186> [my

prayer] unto thee, and will look <6822> up.

4 For thou [art] not a God <0410> that hath pleasure <2655> in

wickedness <7562>: neither <3808> shall evil <7451> dwell <1481>

with thee.

5 The foolish <1984> shall not stand <3320> in thy sight <5869>:

thou hatest <8130> all <3605> workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>.

6 Thou shalt destroy <6> them that speak <1696> leasing <3577>:

the LORD <3068> will abhor <8581> the bloody <1818> and

deceitful <4820> man <0376>.

7. But as for me, I will come <0935> [into] thy house <1004> in

the multitude <7230> of thy mercy <2617>: [and] in thy fear

<3374> will I worship <7812> toward <0413> thy holy <6944>

temple <1964>.

8 Lead <5148> me, O LORD <3068>, in thy righteousness <6666>

because <4616> of mine enemies <8324>; make thy way <1870>

straight <3474> before my face <6440>.

9 For [there is] no <0369> faithfulness <3559> in their mouth

<6310>; their inward <7130> part [is] very <1942> wickedness

<1942>; their throat <1627> [is] an open <6605> sepulchre <6913>;

they flatter <2505> with their tongue <3956>.

10 Destroy <0816> thou them, O God <0430>; let them fall <5307>

by their own counsels <4156>; cast <5080> them out in the

multitude <7230> of their transgressions <6588>; for they have

rebelled <4784> against thee.

11 But let all <3605> those that put their trust <2620> in thee

rejoice <8055>: let them ever <5769> shout <7442> for joy,

because thou defendest <5526> them: let them also that love

<0157> thy name <8034> be joyful <5970> in thee.

12 For thou, LORD <3068>, wilt bless <1288> the righteous

<6662>; with favour <7522> wilt thou compass <5849> him as

[with] a shield <6793>.

Psalms 6

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058> upon

Sheminith <8066>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. O LORD <3068>,

rebuke <3198> me not in thine anger <0639>, neither chasten

<3256> me in thy hot <2534> displeasure <2534>.

2 Have mercy <2603> upon me, O LORD <3068>; for I [am] weak

<0536>: O LORD <3068>, heal <7495> me; for my bones <6106> are

vexed <0926>.

3 My soul <5315> is also sore <3966> vexed <0926>: but thou, O

LORD <3068>, how <5704> long <5704>?

4 Return <7725>, O LORD <3068>, deliver <2502> my soul <5315>:

oh save <3467> me for thy mercies <2617>' sake <4616>.

5 For in death <4194> [there is] no <0369> remembrance <2143>

of thee: in the grave <7585> who <4310> shall give thee thanks

<3034>?

6 I am weary <3021> with my groaning <0585>; all <3605> the

night <3915> make I my bed <4296> to swim <7811>; I water <4529>

my couch <6210> with my tears <1832>.

7 Mine eye <5869> is consumed <6244> because of grief <3708>;

it waxeth old <6275> because of all <3605> mine enemies <6887>.

8. Depart <5493> from me, all <3605> ye workers <6466> of

iniquity <0205>; for the LORD <3068> hath heard <8085> the voice

<6963> of my weeping <1065>.

9 The LORD <3068> hath heard <8085> my supplication <8467>; the

LORD <3068> will receive <3947> my prayer <8605>.

10 Let all <3605> mine enemies <0341> be ashamed <0954> and

sore <3966> vexed <0926>: let them return <7725> [and] be

ashamed <0954> suddenly <7281>.

Psalms 7

1. Shiggaion <7691> of David <1732>, which <0834> he sang

<7891> unto the LORD <3068>, concerning the words <1697> of Cush

<3568> the Benjamite <1121> <1145>. O LORD <3068> my God <0430>,

in thee do I put my trust <2620>: save <3467> me from all <3605>

them that persecute <7291> me, and deliver <5337> me:

2 Lest <6435> he tear <2963> my soul <5315> like a lion <0738>,

rending <6561> [it] in pieces, while [there is] none <0369> to

deliver <5337>.

3 O LORD <3068> my God <0430>, if <0518> I have done <6213>

this <2063>; if <0518> there be iniquity <5766> in my hands

<3709>;

4 If <0518> I have rewarded <1580> evil <7451> unto him that

was at peace <7999> with me; (yea, I have delivered <2502> him

that without <7387> cause <7387> is mine enemy <6887>:)

5 Let the enemy <0341> persecute <7291> my soul <5315>, and

take <5381> [it]; yea, let him tread <7429> down my life <2416>

upon the earth <0776>, and lay <7931> mine honour <3519> in the

dust <6083>. Selah <5542>.

6 Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>, in thine anger <0639>, lift

<5375> up thyself because of the rage <5678> of mine enemies

<6887>: and awake <5782> for me [to] the judgment <4941> [that]

thou hast commanded <6680>.

7 So shall the congregation <5712> of the people <3816> compass

<5437> thee about: for their sakes <5921> therefore return

<7725> thou on high <4791>.

8 The LORD <3068> shall judge <1777> the people <5971>: judge

<8199> me, O LORD <3068>, according to my righteousness <6664>,

and according to mine integrity <8537> [that is] in me.

9 Oh <4994> let the wickedness <7451> of the wicked <7563> come

to an end <1584>; but establish <3559> the just <6662>: for the

righteous <6662> God <0430> trieth <0974> the hearts <3826> and

reins <3629>.

10. My defence <4043> [is] of God <0430>, which saveth <3467>

the upright <3477> in heart <3820>.

11 God <0430> judgeth <8199> the righteous <6662>, and God

<0410> is angry <2194> [with the wicked] every <3605> day <3117>.

12 If <0518> he turn <7725> not, he will whet <3913> his sword

<2719>; he hath bent <1869> his bow <7198>, and made it ready

<3559>.

13 He hath also prepared <3559> for him the instruments <3627>

of death <4194>; he ordaineth <6466> his arrows <2671> against

the persecutors <1814>.

14 Behold <2009>, he travaileth <2254> with iniquity <0205>,

and hath conceived <2030> mischief <5999>, and brought <3205>

forth <3205> falsehood <8267>.

15 He made <3738> a pit <0953>, and digged <2658> it, and is

fallen <5307> into the ditch <7845> [which] he made <6466>.

16 His mischief <5999> shall return <7725> upon his own head

<7218>, and his violent <2555> dealing shall come <3381> down

<3381> upon his own pate <6936>.

17 I will praise <3034> the LORD <3068> according to his

righteousness <6664>: and will sing praise to the name <8034> of

the LORD <3068> most <5945> high <5945>.

Psalms 8

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Gittith <1665>, A Psalm

<4210> of David <1732>. O LORD <3068> our Lord <0113>, how

<4100> excellent <0117> [is] thy name <8034> in all <3605> the

earth <0776>! who <0834> hast set <5414> thy glory <1935> above

<5921> the heavens <8064>.

2 Out of the mouth <6310> of babes <5768> and sucklings <3243>

hast thou ordained <3245> strength <5797> because <4616> of

thine enemies <6887>, that thou mightest still <7673> the enemy

<0341> and the avenger <5358>.

3. When <3588> I consider <7200> thy heavens <8064>, the work

<4639> of thy fingers <0676>, the moon <3394> and the stars

<3556>, which <0834> thou hast ordained <3559>;

4 What <4100> is man <0582>, that thou art mindful <2142> of

him? and the son <1121> of man <0120>, that thou visitest <6485>

him?

5 For thou hast made him a little <4592> lower <2637> than the

angels <0430>, and hast crowned <5849> him with glory <3519> and

honour <1926>.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion <4910> over the works <4639>

of thy hands <3027>; thou hast put <7896> all <3605> [things]

under <8478> his feet <7272>:

7 All <3605> sheep <6792> and oxen <0504>, yea <1571>, and the

beasts <0929> of the field <7704>;

8 The fowl <6833> of the air <8064>, and the fish <1709> of the

sea <3220>, [and whatsoever] passeth <5674> through the paths

<0734> of the seas <3220>.

9 O LORD <3068> our Lord <0113>, how <4100> excellent <0117>

[is] thy name <8034> in all <3605> the earth <0776>!

Psalms 9

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Muthlabben <4192> <1121>,

A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. I will praise <3034> [thee], O

LORD <3068>, with my whole <3605> heart <3820>; I will shew

<5608> forth all <3605> thy marvellous <6381> works.

2 I will be glad <8056> and rejoice <5970> in thee: I will sing

praise to thy name <8034>, O thou most <5945> High <5945>.

3 When mine enemies <0341> are turned <7725> back <0268>, they

shall fall <3782> and perish <6> at thy presence <6440>.

4 For thou hast maintained <6213> my right <4941> and my cause

<1779>; thou satest <3427> in the throne <3678> judging <8199>

right <6664>.

5 Thou hast rebuked <1605> the heathen <1471>, thou hast

destroyed <6> the wicked <7563>, thou hast put <4229> out their

name <8034> for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

6 O thou enemy <0341>, destructions <2723> are come to a

perpetual <5331> end <8552>: and thou hast destroyed <5428>

cities <5892>; their memorial <2143> is perished <6> with them.

7 But the LORD <3068> shall endure <3427> for ever <5769>: he

hath prepared <3559> his throne <3678> for judgment <4941>.

8 And he shall judge <8199> the world <8398> in righteousness

<6664>, he shall minister <1777> judgment <1777> to the people

<3816> in uprightness <4339>.

9 The LORD <3068> also will be a refuge <4869> for the

oppressed <1790>, a refuge <4869> in times <6256> of trouble

<6869>.

10 And they that know <3045> thy name <8034> will put their

trust <0982> in thee: for thou, LORD <3068>, hast not forsaken

<5800> them that seek <1875> thee.

11. Sing praises to the LORD <3068>, which dwelleth <3427> in

Zion <6726>: declare <5046> among the people <5971> his doings

<5949>.

12 When <3588> he maketh inquisition <1875> for blood <1818>,

he remembereth <2142> them: he forgetteth <7911> not the cry

<6818> of the humble <6041>.

13 Have mercy <2603> upon me, O LORD <3068>; consider <7200> my

trouble <6040> [which I suffer] of them that hate <8130> me,

thou that liftest <7311> me up from the gates <8179> of death

<4194>:

14 That I may shew <5608> forth all <3605> thy praise <8416> in

the gates <8179> of the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>: I will

rejoice <1523> in thy salvation <3444>.

15 The heathen <1471> are sunk <2883> down in the pit <7845>

[that] they made <6213>: in the net <7568> which <2098> they hid

<2934> is their own foot <7272> taken <3920>.

16 The LORD <3068> is known <3045> [by] the judgment <4941>

[which] he executeth <6213>: the wicked <7563> is snared <5367>

in the work <6467> of his own hands <3709>. Higgaion <1902>.

Selah <5542>.

17 The wicked <7563> shall be turned <7725> into hell <7585>,

[and] all <3605> the nations <1471> that forget <7913> God

<0430>.

18 For the needy <34> shall not alway <5331> be forgotten

<7911>: the expectation <8615> of the poor <6041> shall [not]

perish <6> for ever <5703>.

19 Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>; let not man <0582> prevail

<5810>: let the heathen <1471> be judged <8199> in thy sight

<6440>.

20 Put <7896> them in fear <4172>, O LORD <3068>: [that] the

nations <1471> may know <3045> themselves [to be but] men <0582>.

Selah <5542>.

Psalms 10

1. Why <4100> standest <5975> thou afar <7350> off, O LORD

<3068>? [why] hidest <5956> thou [thyself] in times <6256> of

trouble <6869>?

2 The wicked <7563> in [his] pride <1346> doth persecute <1814>

the poor <6041>: let them be taken <8610> in the devices <4209>

that they have imagined <2803>.

3 For the wicked <7563> boasteth <1984> of his heart's <5315>

desire <8378>, and blesseth <1288> the covetous <1214>, [whom]

the LORD <3068> abhorreth <5006>.

4 The wicked <7563>, through the pride <1363> of his

countenance <0639>, will not seek <1875> [after God]: God <0430>

[is] not in all <3605> his thoughts <4209>.

5 His ways <1870> are always grievous <2342>; thy judgments

<4941> [are] far <5048> above <4791> out of his sight <5048>:

[as for] all <3605> his enemies <6887>, he puffeth <6315> at

them.

6 He hath said <0559> in his heart <3820>, I shall not be moved

<4131>: for [I shall] never <1755> [be] in adversity <7451>.

7 His mouth <6310> is full <4390> of cursing <0423> and deceit

<4820> and fraud <8496>: under <8478> his tongue <3956> [is]

mischief <5999> and vanity <0205>.

8 He sitteth <3427> in the lurking <3993> places of the

villages <2691>: in the secret <4565> places doth he murder

<2026> the innocent <5355>: his eyes <5869> are privily <6845>

set <6845> against the poor <2489>.

9 He lieth in wait <0693> secretly <4565> as a lion <0738> in

his den <5520>: he lieth in wait <0693> to catch <2414> the poor

<6041>: he doth catch <2414> the poor <6041>, when he draweth

<4900> him into his net <7568>.

10 He croucheth <1794>, [and] humbleth <7817> himself, that the

poor <2489> may fall <5307> by his strong <6099> ones.

11 He hath said <0559> in his heart <3820>, God <0410> hath

forgotten <7911>: he hideth <5641> his face <6440>; he will

never see <7200> [it].

12. Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>; O God <0410>, lift <5375> up

thine hand <3027>: forget <7911> not the humble <6041>.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked <7563> contemn <5006> God <0430>?

he hath said <0559> in his heart <3820>, Thou wilt not require

<1875> [it].

14 Thou hast seen <7200> [it]; for thou beholdest <5027>

mischief <5999> and spite <3708>, to requite <5414> [it] with

thy hand <3027>: the poor <2489> committeth <5800> himself unto

thee; thou art the helper <5826> of the fatherless <3490>.

15 Break <7665> thou the arm <2220> of the wicked <7563> and

the evil <7451> [man]: seek <1875> out his wickedness <7562>

[till] thou find <4672> none <1077>.

16 The LORD <3068> [is] King <4428> for ever <5769> and ever

<5703>: the heathen <1471> are perished <6> out of his land

<0776>.

17 LORD <3068>, thou hast heard <8085> the desire <8378> of the

humble <6041>: thou wilt prepare <3559> their heart <3820>, thou

wilt cause thine ear <0241> to hear <7181>:

18 To judge <8199> the fatherless <3490> and the oppressed

<1790>, that the man <0582> of the earth <0776> may no <1077>

more oppress <6206>.

Psalms 11

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>. In

the LORD <3068> put I my trust <2620>: how <0349> say <0559> ye

to my soul <5315>, Flee <5110> [as] a bird <6833> to your

mountain <2022>?

2 For, lo <2009>, the wicked <7563> bend <1869> [their] bow

<7198>, they make ready <3559> their arrow <2671> upon the

string <3499>, that they may privily <0652> shoot <3384> at the

upright <3477> in heart <3820>.

3 If <3588> the foundations <8356> be destroyed <2040>, what

<4100> can the righteous <6662> do <6466>?

4. The LORD <3068> [is] in his holy <6944> temple <1964>, the

LORD'S <3068> throne <3678> [is] in heaven <8064>: his eyes

<5869> behold <2372>, his eyelids <6079> try <0974>, the

children <1121> of men <0120>.

5 The LORD <3068> trieth <0974> the righteous <6662>: but the

wicked <7563> and him that loveth <0157> violence <2555> his

soul <5315> hateth <8130>.

6 Upon the wicked <7563> he shall rain <4305> snares <6341>,

fire <0784> and brimstone <1614>, and an horrible <2152> tempest

<7307>: [this shall be] the portion <4521> of their cup <3563>.

7 For the righteous <6662> LORD <3068> loveth <0157>

righteousness <6666>; his countenance <6440> doth behold <2372>

the upright <3477>.

Psalms 12

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Sheminith <8067>, A

Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. Help <3467>, LORD <3068>; for the

godly <2623> man <0376> ceaseth <1584>; for the faithful <0539>

fail <6461> from among the children <1121> of men <0120>.

2 They speak <1696> vanity <7723> every <0376> one <0376> with

his neighbour <7453>: [with] flattering <2513> lips <8193> [and]

with a double heart <3820> do they speak <1696>.

3 The LORD <3068> shall cut <3772> off all <3605> flattering

<2513> lips <8193>, [and] the tongue <3956> that speaketh <1696>

proud <1419> things:

4 Who <0834> have said <0559>, With our tongue <3956> will we

prevail <1396>; our lips <8193> [are] our own: who <4310> [is]

lord <0113> over us?

5 For the oppression <7701> of the poor <6041>, for the sighing

<0603> of the needy <34>, now <6258> will I arise <6965>, saith

<0559> the LORD <3068>; I will set <7896> [him] in safety <3468>

[from him that] puffeth <6315> at him.

6 The words <0565> of the LORD <3068> [are] pure <2889> words

<0565>: [as] silver <3701> tried <6884> in a furnace <5948> of

earth <0776>, purified <2212> seven <7659> times.

7 Thou shalt keep <8104> them, O LORD <3068>, thou shalt

preserve <5341> them from this <2098> generation <1755> for ever

<5769>.

8 The wicked <7563> walk <1980> on every <5437> side <5439>,

when the vilest <2149> men are exalted <7311>.

Psalms 13

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

How <5704> long <5704> wilt thou forget <7911> me, O LORD

<3068>? for ever <5331>? how <5704> long <5704> wilt thou hide

<5641> thy face <6440> from me?

2 How <5704> long <5704> shall I take <7896> counsel <6098> in

my soul <5315>, [having] sorrow <3015> in my heart <3824> daily

<3119>? how <5704> long <5704> shall mine enemy <0341> be

exalted <7311> over <5921> me?

3 Consider <5027> [and] hear <6030> me, O LORD <3068> my God

<0430>: lighten <0215> mine eyes <5869>, lest <6435> I sleep

<3462> the [sleep <3462> of] death <4194>;

4 Lest <6435> mine enemy <0341> say <0559>, I have prevailed

<3201> against him; [and] those that trouble <6862> me rejoice

<1523> when <3588> I am moved <4131>.

5 But I have trusted <0982> in thy mercy <2617>; my heart

<3820> shall rejoice <1523> in thy salvation <3444>.

6 I will sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068>, because <3588> he

hath dealt <1580> bountifully <1580> with me.

Psalms 14

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>. The

fool <5036> hath said <0559> in his heart <3820>, [There is] no

<0369> God <0430>. They are corrupt <7843>, they have done

abominable <8581> works <5949>, [there is] none <0369> that

doeth <6213> good <2896>.

2 The LORD <3068> looked <8559> down <3381> from heaven <8064>

upon the children <1121> of men <0120>, to see <7200> if there

were any that did understand <7919>, [and] seek <1875> God

<0430>.

3 They are all <3605> gone <5493> aside <5493>, they are [all]

together <3162> become <0444> filthy <0444>: [there is] none

<0369> that doeth <6213> good <2896>, no, not one <0259>.

4. Have all <3605> the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205> no

<3808> knowledge <3045>? who eat <0398> up my people <5971> [as]

they eat <0398> bread <3899>, and call <7121> not upon the LORD

<3068>.

5 There <8033> were they in great <6343> fear <6342>: for God

<0430> [is] in the generation <1755> of the righteous <6662>.

6 Ye have shamed <0954> the counsel <6098> of the poor <6041>,

because <3588> the LORD <3068> [is] his refuge <4268>.

7 Oh that the salvation <3444> of Israel <3478> [were come] out

of Zion <6726>! when the LORD <3068> bringeth <7725> back <7725>

the captivity <7622> of his people <5971>, Jacob <3290> shall

rejoice <1523>, [and] Israel <3478> shall be glad <8056>.

Psalms 15

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. LORD <3068>, who <4310>

shall abide <1481> in thy tabernacle <0168>? who <4310> shall

dwell <7931> in thy holy <6944> hill <2022>?

2 He that walketh <1980> uprightly <8549>, and worketh <6466>

righteousness <6664>, and speaketh <1696> the truth <0571> in

his heart <3824>.

3 [He that] backbiteth <7270> not with his tongue <3956>, nor

<3808> doeth <6213> evil <7451> to his neighbour <7453>, nor

<3808> taketh <5375> up a reproach <2781> against <5921> his

neighbour <7138>.

4 In whose eyes <5869> a vile <0959> person is contemned <0959>;

but he honoureth <3513> them that fear <3373> the LORD <3068>.

[He that] sweareth <7650> to [his own] hurt <7489>, and changeth

<4171> not.

5 [He that] putteth <5414> not out his money <3701> to usury

<5392>, nor <3808> taketh <3947> reward <7810> against <5921>

the innocent <5355>. He that doeth <6213> these <0428> [things]

shall never be moved <4131>.

Psalms 16

1. Michtam <4387> of David <1732>. Preserve <8104> me, O God

<0410>: for in thee do I put my trust <2620>.

2 [O my soul], thou hast said <0559> unto the LORD <3068>, Thou

[art] my Lord <0136>: my goodness <2896> [extendeth] not to thee;

3 [But] to the saints <6918> that [are] in the earth <0776>,

and [to] the excellent <0117>, in whom [is] all <3605> my

delight <2656>.

4 Their sorrows <6094> shall be multiplied <7235> [that] hasten

<4116> [after] another <0312> [god]: their drink <5262>

offerings of blood <1818> will I not offer <5258>, nor <1077>

take <5375> up their names <8034> into <5921> my lips <8193>.

5 The LORD <3068> [is] the portion <4490> of mine inheritance

<2506> and of my cup <3563>: thou maintainest <8551> my lot

<1486>.

6 The lines <2256> are fallen <5307> unto me in pleasant <5273>

[places]; yea <0637>, I have <5921> a goodly <8231> heritage

<5159>.

7 I will bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, who <0834> hath given me

counsel <3289>: my reins <3629> also <0637> instruct <3256> me

in the night <3915> seasons.

8. I have set <7737> the LORD <3068> always <8548> before

<5048> me: because <3588> [he is] at my right <3225> hand <3225>,

I shall not be moved <4131>.

9 Therefore <3651> my heart <3820> is glad <8056>, and my glory

<3519> rejoiceth <1523>: my flesh <1320> also <0637> shall rest

<7931> in hope <0983>.

10 For thou wilt not leave <5800> my soul <5315> in hell <7585>;

neither <3808> wilt thou suffer <5414> thine Holy <2623> One to

see <7200> corruption <7845>.

11 Thou wilt shew <3045> me the path <0734> of life <2416>: in

thy presence <6440> [is] fulness <7648> of joy <8057>; at thy

right <3225> hand <3225> [there are] pleasures <5273> for

evermore <5331>.

Psalms 17

1. A Prayer <8605> of David <1732>. Hear <8085> the right

<6664>, O LORD <3068>, attend <7181> unto my cry <7440>, give

ear <0238> unto my prayer <8605>, [that goeth] not out of

feigned <5234> lips <8193>.

2 Let my sentence <4941> come <3318> forth <3318> from thy

presence <6440>; let thine eyes <5869> behold <2372> the things

that are equal <4339>.

3 Thou hast proved <0974> mine heart <3820>; thou hast visited

<6485> [me] in the night <3915>; thou hast tried <6884> me,

[and] shalt find <4672> nothing; I am purposed <2161> [that] my

mouth <6310> shall not transgress <5674>.

4 Concerning the works of men <0120>, by the word <1697> of thy

lips <8193> I have kept <8104> [me from] the paths <0734> of the

destroyer <6530>.

5 Hold <8551> up my goings <0838> in thy paths <4570>, [that]

my footsteps <6471> slip <4131> not.

6 I have called <7121> upon thee, for thou wilt hear <6030> me,

O God <0410>: incline <5186> thine ear <0241> unto me, [and hear

<8085>] my speech <0565>.

7 Shew thy marvellous <6395> lovingkindness <2617>, O thou that

savest <3467> by thy right <3225> hand <3225> them which put

their trust <2620> [in thee] from those that rise <6965> up

[against them].

8. Keep <8104> me as the apple <1323> of the eye <5869>, hide

<5641> me under the shadow <6738> of thy wings <3671>,

9 From the wicked <7563> that oppress <7703> me, [from] my

deadly <5315> enemies <0341>, [who] compass <5362> me about.

10 They are inclosed <5462> in their own <0249> fat <2459>:

with their mouth <6310> they speak <1696> proudly <1348>.

11 They have now <6258> compassed <5437> us in our steps <0838>:

they have set <7896> their eyes <5869> bowing <5186> down

<5186> to the earth <0776>;

12 Like <1825> as a lion <0738> [that] is greedy <3700> of his

prey <2963>, and as it were a young <3715> lion <3715> lurking

<3427> in secret <4565> places.

13 Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>, disappoint <6923> him, cast

<3766> him down <3766>: deliver <6403> my soul <5315> from the

wicked <7563>, [which is] thy sword <2719>:

14 From men <4962> [which are] thy hand <3027>, O LORD <3068>,

from men <4962> of the world <2465>, [which have] their portion

<2506> in [this] life <2416>, and whose belly <0990> thou

fillest <4390> with thy hid <6845> [treasure]: they are full

<7646> of children <1121>, and leave <3241> the rest <3499> of

their [substance] to their babes <5768>.

15 As for me, I will behold <2372> thy face <6440> in

righteousness <6664>: I shall be satisfied <7646>, when I awake

<6974>, with thy likeness <8544>.

Psalms 18

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>, the

servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>, who <0834> spake <1696> unto

the LORD <3068> the words <1697> of this <2088> song <7892> in

the day <3117> [that] the LORD <3068> delivered <5337> him from

the hand of all <3605> his enemies <0341>, and from the hand

<3027> of Saul <7586>: And he said <0559>, I will love <7355>

thee, O LORD <3068>, my strength <2391>.

2 The LORD <3068> [is] my rock <5553>, and my fortress <4686>,

and my deliverer <6403>; my God <0410>, my strength <6697>, in

whom I will trust <2620>; my buckler <4043>, and the horn <7161>

of my salvation <3468>, [and] my high <4869> tower <4869>.

3 I will call <7121> upon the LORD <3068>, [who is worthy] to

be praised <1984>: so shall I be saved <3467> from mine enemies

<0341>.

4 The sorrows <2256> of death <4194> compassed <0661> me, and

the floods <5158> of ungodly <1100> men made me afraid <1204>.

5 The sorrows <2256> of hell <7585> compassed <5437> me about:

the snares <4170> of death <4194> prevented <6923> me.

6 In my distress <6862> I called <7121> upon the LORD <3068>,

and cried <7768> unto my God <0430>: he heard <8085> my voice

<6963> out of his temple <1964>, and my cry <7775> came <0935>

before <6440> him, [even] into his ears <0241>.

7 Then the earth <0776> shook <1607> and trembled <7493>; the

foundations <4146> also of the hills <2022> moved <7264> and

were shaken <1607>, because <3588> he was wroth <2734>.

8 There went <5927> up a smoke <6227> out of his nostrils

<0639>, and fire <0784> out of his mouth <6310> devoured <0398>:

coals <1513> were kindled <1197> by it.

9 He bowed <5186> the heavens <8064> also, and came <3381> down

<3381>: and darkness <6205> [was] under <8478> his feet <7272>.

10 And he rode <7392> upon a cherub <3742>, and did fly <5774>:

yea, he did fly <1675> upon the wings <3671> of the wind <7307>.

11 He made <7896> darkness <2822> his secret <5643> place; his

pavilion <5521> round <5439> about him [were] dark <2824> waters

<4325> [and] thick clouds <5645> of the skies <7834>.

12 At the brightness <5051> [that was] before <5048> him his

thick clouds <5645> passed <5674>, hail <1259> [stones] and

coals <1513> of fire <0784>.

13 The LORD <3068> also thundered <7481> in the heavens <8064>,

and the Highest <5945> gave <5414> his voice <6963>; hail <1259>

[stones] and coals <1513> of fire <0784>.

14 Yea, he sent <7971> out his arrows <2671>, and scattered

<6327> them; and he shot <7232> out lightnings <1300>, and

discomfited <1949> them.

15 Then the channels <0650> of waters <4325> were seen <7200>,

and the foundations <4146> of the world <8398> were discovered

<1540> at thy rebuke <1606>, O LORD <3068>, at the blast <5397>

of the breath <7307> of thy nostrils <0639>.

16 He sent <7971> from above <4791>, he took <3947> me, he drew

<4871> me out of many <7227> waters <4325>.

17 He delivered <5337> me from my strong <5794> enemy <0341>,

and from them which hated <8130> me: for they were too strong

<0553> for me.

18 They prevented <6923> me in the day <3117> of my calamity

<0343>: but the LORD <3068> was my stay <4937>.

19 He brought <3318> me forth <3318> also into a large <4800>

place <4800>; he delivered <2502> me, because <3588> he

delighted <2654> in me.

20. The LORD <3068> rewarded <1580> me according to my

righteousness <6664>; according to the cleanness <1252> of my

hands <3027> hath he recompensed <7725> me.

21 For I have kept <8104> the ways <1870> of the LORD <3068>,

and have not wickedly <7561> departed from my God <0430>.

22 For all <3605> his judgments <4941> [were] before <5048> me,

and I did not put <5493> away <5493> his statutes <2708> from me.

23 I was also upright <8549> before <5973> him, and I kept

<8104> myself from mine iniquity <5771>.

24 Therefore hath the LORD <3068> recompensed <7725> me

according to my righteousness <6664>, according to the cleanness

<1252> of my hands <3027> in his eyesight <5869>.

25 With the merciful <2623> thou wilt shew thyself merciful

<2616>; with an upright <8549> man <1397> thou wilt shew thyself

upright;

26 With the pure <2889> thou wilt shew thyself pure <1305>; and

with the froward <6141> thou wilt shew thyself froward <6617>.

27 For thou wilt save <3467> the afflicted <6041> people <5971>;

but wilt bring <8213> down <8213> high <7311> looks <5869>.

28 For thou wilt light <0215> my candle <5216>: the LORD <3068>

my God <0430> will enlighten <5050> my darkness <2822>.

29. For by thee I have run <7323> through a troop <1416>; and

by my God <0430> have I leaped <1801> over a wall <7791>.

30 [As for] God <0410>, his way <1870> [is] perfect <8549>: the

word <0565> of the LORD <3068> is tried <6884>: he [is] a

buckler <4043> to all <3605> those that trust <2620> in him.

31 For who <4310> [is] God <0433> save <1107> the LORD <3068>?

or <0176> who <4310> [is] a rock <6697> save <2108> our God

<0430>?

32 [It is] God <0410> that girdeth <0247> me with strength

<2428>, and maketh <5414> my way <1870> perfect <8549>.

33 He maketh <7737> my feet <7272> like hinds <0355>' [feet

<7272>], and setteth <5975> me upon my high <1116> places.

34 He teacheth <3925> my hands <3027> to war <4421>, so that a

bow <7198> of steel <5154> is broken <5181> by mine arms <2220>.

35 Thou hast also given <5414> me the shield <4043> of thy

salvation <3468>: and thy right <3225> hand <3225> hath holden

<5582> me up, and thy gentleness <6038> hath made me great

<7235>.

36 Thou hast enlarged <7337> my steps <6806> under <8478> me,

that my feet <7166> did not slip <4571>.

37 I have pursued <7291> mine enemies <0341>, and overtaken

<5381> them: neither <3808> did I turn <7725> again <7725> till

<5704> they were consumed <3615>.

38 I have wounded <4272> them that they were not able <3201> to

rise <6965>: they are fallen <5307> under <8478> my feet <7272>.

39 For thou hast girded <0247> me with strength <2428> unto the

battle <4421>: thou hast subdued <3766> under <8478> me those

that rose <6965> up against me.

40 Thou hast also given <5414> me the necks <6203> of mine

enemies <0341>; that I might destroy <6789> them that hate

<8130> me.

41 They cried <7768>, but [there was] none <0369> to save

<3467> [them: even] unto the LORD <3068>, but he answered <6030>

them not.

42 Then did I beat <7833> them small as the dust <6083> before

the wind <7307>: I did cast <7324> them out as the dirt <2916>

in the streets <2351>.

43 Thou hast delivered <6403> me from the strivings <7379> of

the people <5971>; [and] thou hast made <7760> me the head

<7218> of the heathen <1471>: a people <5971> [whom] I have not

known <3045> shall serve <5647> me.

44 As soon as they hear <8085> of me, they shall obey <8085> me:

the strangers shall submit <3584> themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade <5034> away, and be afraid <2727>

out of their close <4526> places.

46 The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>; and blessed <1288> [be] my

rock <6697>; and let the God <0430> of my salvation <3468> be

exalted <7311>.

47 [It is] God <0410> that avengeth me, and subdueth <1696> the

people <5971> under <8478> me.

48 He delivereth <6403> me from mine enemies <0341>: yea <0637>,

thou liftest <7311> me up above those that rise <6965> up

against me: thou hast delivered <5337> me from the violent

<2555> man <0376>.

49 Therefore will I give thanks <3034> unto thee, O LORD <3068>,

among the heathen <1471>, and sing praises unto thy name <8034>.

50 Great <1431> deliverance <3444> giveth he to his king <4428>;

and sheweth <6213> mercy <2617> to his anointed <4899>, to

David <1732>, and to his seed <2233> for evermore <5769>.

Psalms 19

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

The heavens <8064> declare <5608> the glory <3519> of God

<0410>; and the firmament <7549> sheweth <5046> his handywork.

2 Day <3117> unto day <3117> uttereth <5042> speech <0562>, and

night <3915> unto night <3915> sheweth <2331> knowledge <1847>.

3 [There is] no <0369> speech <0562> nor <0369> language <1697>,

[where] their voice <6963> is not heard <8085>.

4 Their line <6957> is gone <3318> out through all <3605> the

earth <0776>, and their words <4405> to the end <7097> of the

world <8398>. In them hath he set <7760> a tabernacle <0168> for

the sun <8121>,

5 Which [is] as a bridegroom <2860> coming <3318> out of his

chamber <2646>, [and] rejoiceth <7797> as a strong <1368> man to

run <7323> a race <0734>.

6 His going <4161> forth <4161> [is] from the end <7097> of the

heaven <8064>, and his circuit <8622> unto the ends <7098> of it:

and there is nothing <0369> hid <5641> from the heat <2535>

thereof.

7. The law <8451> of the LORD <3068> [is] perfect <8549>,

converting <7725> the soul <5315>: the testimony <5715> of the

LORD <3068> [is] sure <0539>, making wise <2449> the simple

<6612>.

8 The statutes <6490> of the LORD <3068> [are] right <3477>,

rejoicing <8055> the heart <3820>: the commandment <4687> of the

LORD <3068> [is] pure <1249>, enlightening <0215> the eyes

<5869>.

9 The fear <3374> of the LORD <3068> [is] clean <2889>,

enduring <5975> for ever <5703>: the judgments <4941> of the

LORD <3068> [are] true <0571> [and] righteous <6663> altogether

<3162>.

10 More to be desired <2530> [are they] than gold <2091>, yea,

than much <7227> fine gold <6337>: sweeter <4966> also than

honey <1706> and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover <1571> by them is thy servant <5650> warned <2094>:

[and] in keeping <8104> of them [there is] great <7227> reward

<6118>.

12 Who <4310> can understand <0995> [his] errors <7691>?

cleanse <5352> thou me from secret <5641> [faults].

13 Keep <2820> back <2820> thy servant <5650> also <1571> from

presumptuous <2086> [sins]; let them not have dominion <4910>

over me: then <0227> shall I be upright <8552>, and I shall be

innocent <5352> from the great <7227> transgression <6588>.

14 Let the words <0561> of my mouth <6310>, and the meditation

<1902> of my heart <3820>, be acceptable <7522> in thy sight

<6440>, O LORD <3068>, my strength <6697>, and my redeemer

<1350>.

Psalms 20

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

The LORD <3068> hear <6030> thee in the day <3117> of trouble

<6869>; the name <8034> of the God <0430> of Jacob <3290> defend

<7682> thee;

2 Send <7971> thee help <5828> from the sanctuary <6944>, and

strengthen <5582> thee out of Zion <6726>;

3 Remember <2142> all <3605> thy offerings <4503>, and accept

<1878> thy burnt <5930> sacrifice; Selah <5542>.

4 Grant <5414> thee according to thine own heart <3824>, and

fulfil <4390> all <3605> thy counsel <6098>.

5 We will rejoice <7442> in thy salvation <3444>, and in the

name <8034> of our God <0430> we will set up [our] banners

<1713>: the LORD <3068> fulfil <4390> all <3605> thy petitions

<4862>.

6. Now <6258> know <3045> I that the LORD <3068> saveth <3467>

his anointed <4899>; he will hear <6030> him from his holy

<6944> heaven <8064> with the saving <3468> strength <1369> of

his right <3225> hand <3225>.

7 Some <0428> [trust] in chariots <7393>, and some <0428> in

horses <5483>: but we will remember <2142> the name <8034> of

the LORD <3068> our God <0430>.

8 They are brought <3766> down <3766> and fallen <5307>: but we

are risen <6965>, and stand <5749> upright.

9 Save <3467>, LORD <3068>: let the king <4428> hear <6030> us

when we call <7121>.

Psalms 21

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

The king <4428> shall joy <8055> in thy strength <5797>, O LORD

<3068>; and in thy salvation <3444> how <4100> greatly <3966>

shall he rejoice <1523>!

2 Thou hast given <5414> him his heart's <3820> desire <8378>,

and hast not withholden <4513> the request <0782> of his lips

<8193>. Selah <5542>.

3 For thou preventest <6923> him with the blessings <1293> of

goodness <2896>: thou settest <7896> a crown <5850> of pure

<6337> gold <6337> on his head <7218>.

4 He asked <7592> life <2416> of thee, [and] thou gavest <5414>

[it] him, [even] length <0753> of days <3117> for ever <5769>

and ever <5703>.

5 His glory <3519> [is] great <1419> in thy salvation <3444>:

honour <1935> and majesty <1926> hast thou laid <7737> upon him.

6 For thou hast made <7896> him most blessed <1293> for ever

<5703>: thou hast made him exceeding <2302> glad <2302> with thy

countenance <6440>.

7. For the king <4428> trusteth <0982> in the LORD <3068>, and

through the mercy <2617> of the most <5945> High <5945> he shall

not be moved <4131>.

8 Thine hand <3027> shall find <4672> out all <3605> thine

enemies <0341>: thy right <3225> hand <3225> shall find <4672>

out those that hate <8130> thee.

9 Thou shalt make <7896> them as a fiery <0784> oven <8574> in

the time <6256> of thine anger <6440>: the LORD <3068> shall

swallow <1104> them up in his wrath <0639>, and the fire <0784>

shall devour <0398> them.

10 Their fruit <6529> shalt thou destroy <6> from the earth

<0776>, and their seed <2233> from among the children <1121> of

men <0120>.

11 For they intended <5186> evil <7451> against <5921> thee:

they imagined <2803> a mischievous <4209> device, [which] they

are not able <3201> [to perform].

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back <7926>,

[when] thou shalt make ready <3559> [thine arrows] upon thy

strings <4340> against <5921> the face <6440> of them.

13 Be thou exalted <7311>, LORD <3068>, in thine own strength

<5797>: [so] will we sing <7891> and praise <2167> thy power

<1369>.

Psalms 22

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Aijeleth <0365>

Shahar <7837>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. My God <0410>, my

God <0410>, why <4100> hast thou forsaken <5800> me? [why art

thou so] far <7350> from helping <3467> me, [and from] the words

<1697> of my roaring <7581>?

2 O my God <0430>, I cry <7121> in the daytime <3119>, but thou

hearest <6030> not; and in the night <3915> season, and am not

silent <1947>.

3 But thou [art] holy <6918>, [O thou] that inhabitest <3427>

the praises <8416> of Israel <3478>.

4 Our fathers <1> trusted <0982> in thee: they trusted <0982>,

and thou didst deliver <6403> them.

5 They cried <2199> unto thee, and were delivered <4422>: they

trusted <0982> in thee, and were not confounded <0954>.

6 But I [am] a worm <8438>, and no <3808> man <0376>; a

reproach <2781> of men <0120>, and despised <0959> of the people

<5971>.

7 All <3605> they that see <7200> me laugh <3932> me to scorn:

they shoot <6362> out the lip <8193>, they shake <5128> the head

<7218>, [saying],

8 He trusted <1556> on <0413> the LORD <3068> [that] he would

deliver <6403> him: let him deliver <5337> him, seeing he

delighted <2654> in him.

9 But thou [art] he that took <1518> me out of the womb <0990>:

thou didst make me hope <0982> [when I was] upon my mother's

<0517> breasts <7699>.

10 I was cast <7993> upon thee from the womb <7358>: thou [art]

my God <0410> from my mother's <0517> belly <0990>.

11. Be not far <7368> from me; for trouble <6869> [is] near

<7138>; for [there is] none <0369> to help <5826>.

12 Many <7227> bulls <6499> have compassed <5437> me: strong

<47> [bulls] of Bashan <1316> have beset <3803> me round <3803>.

13 They gaped <6475> upon me [with] their mouths <6310>, [as] a

ravening <2963> and a roaring <7580> lion <0738>.

14 I am poured <8210> out like water <4325>, and all <3605> my

bones <6106> are out of joint <6504>: my heart <3820> is like

wax <1749>; it is melted <4549> in the midst <8432> of my bowels

<4578>.

15 My strength <3581> is dried <3001> up like a potsherd <2789>;

and my tongue <3956> cleaveth <1692> to my jaws <4455>; and

thou hast brought <8239> me into the dust <6083> of death <4194>.

16 For dogs <3611> have compassed <5437> me: the assembly

<5712> of the wicked <7489> have inclosed <5362> me: they

pierced <0738> my hands <3027> and my feet <7272>.

17 I may tell <5608> all <3605> my bones <6106>: they look

<5027> [and] stare <7200> upon me.

18 They part <2505> my garments <0899> among them, and cast

<5307> lots <1486> upon my vesture <3830>.

19 But be not thou far <7368> from me, O LORD <3068>: O my

strength <0360>, haste <2363> thee to help <5833> me.

20 Deliver <5337> my soul <5315> from the sword <2719>; my

darling <3173> from the power <3027> of the dog <3611>.

21 Save <3467> me from the lion's <0738> mouth <6310>: for thou

hast heard <6030> me from the horns <7161> of the unicorns

<7214>.

22. I will declare <5608> thy name <8034> unto my brethren

<0251>: in the midst <8432> of the congregation <6951> will I

praise <1984> thee.

23 Ye that fear <3373> the LORD <3068>, praise <1984> him; all

<3605> ye the seed <2233> of Jacob <3290>, glorify <3513> him;

and fear <1481> him, all <3605> ye the seed <2233> of Israel

<3478>.

24 For he hath not despised <0959> nor <3808> abhorred <8262>

the affliction <6039> of the afflicted <6041>; neither <3808>

hath he hid <5641> his face <6440> from him; but when he cried

<7768> unto him, he heard <8085>.

25 My praise <8416> [shall be] of thee in the great <7227>

congregation <6951>: I will pay <7999> my vows <5088> before

<6440> them that fear <3373> him.

26 The meek <6035> shall eat <0398> and be satisfied <7646>:

they shall praise <1984> the LORD <3068> that seek <1875> him:

your heart <3824> shall live <2421> for ever <5703>.

27 All <3605> the ends <0657> of the world <0776> shall

remember <2142> and turn <7725> unto the LORD <3068>: and all

<3605> the kindreds <4940> of the nations <1471> shall worship

<7812> before <6440> thee.

28 For the kingdom <4410> [is] the LORD'S <3068>: and he [is]

the governor <4910> among the nations <1471>.

29 All <3605> [they that be] fat <1879> upon earth <0776> shall

eat <0398> and worship <7812>: all <3605> they that go <3381>

down <3381> to the dust <6083> shall bow <3766> before <6440>

him: and none <3808> can keep alive <2421> his own soul <5315>.

30 A seed <2233> shall serve <5647> him; it shall be accounted

<5608> to the Lord <0136> for a generation <1755>.

31 They shall come <0935>, and shall declare <5046> his

righteousness <6666> unto a people <5971> that shall be born

<3205>, that he hath done <6213> [this].

Psalms 23

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. The LORD <3068> [is] my

shepherd <7462>; I shall not want <2637>.

2 He maketh me to lie <7257> down <7257> in green <1877>

pastures <4999>: he leadeth <5095> me beside <5921> the still

<4496> waters <4325>.

3 He restoreth <7725> my soul <5315>: he leadeth <5090> me in

the paths <4570> of righteousness <6664> for his name's <8034>

sake <4616>.

4 Yea <1571>, though <3588> I walk <3212> through the valley

<1516> of the shadow <6757> of death <6757>, I will fear <3372>

no <3808> evil <7451>: for thou [art] with me; thy rod <7626>

and thy staff <4938> they comfort <5162> me.

5 Thou preparest <6186> a table <7979> before <6440> me in the

presence <5048> of mine enemies <6887>: thou anointest <1878> my

head <7218> with oil <8081>; my cup <3563> runneth <7310> over.

6 Surely <0389> goodness <2896> and mercy <2617> shall follow

<7291> me all <3605> the days <3117> of my life <2416>: and I

will dwell <3427> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> for

ever.

Psalms 24

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. The earth <0776> [is] the

LORD'S <3068>, and the fulness <4393> thereof; the world <8398>,

and they that dwell <3427> therein.

2 For he hath founded <3245> it upon the seas <3220>, and

established <3559> it upon the floods <5104>.

3. Who <4310> shall ascend <5927> into the hill <2022> of the

LORD <3068>? or who <4310> shall stand <6965> in his holy <6944>

place <4725>?

4 He that hath clean <5355> hands <3709>, and a pure <1249>

heart <3824>; who <0834> hath not lifted <5375> up his soul

<5315> unto vanity <7723>, nor <3808> sworn <7650> deceitfully

<4820>.

5 He shall receive <5375> the blessing <1293> from the LORD

<3068>, and righteousness <6666> from the God <0430> of his

salvation <3468>.

6 This <2088> [is] the generation <1755> of them that seek

<1875> him, that seek <1245> thy face <6440>, O Jacob <3290>.

Selah <5542>.

7. Lift <5375> up your heads <7218>, O ye gates <8179>; and be

ye lift <5375> up, ye everlasting <5769> doors <6607>; and the

King <4428> of glory <3519> shall come <0935> in.

8 Who <4310> [is] this <2088> King <4428> of glory <3519>? The

LORD <3068> strong <5808> and mighty <1368>, the LORD <3068>

mighty <1368> in battle <4421>.

9 Lift <5375> up your heads <7218>, O ye gates <8179>; even

lift <5375> [them] up, ye everlasting <5769> doors <6607>; and

the King <4428> of glory <3519> shall come <0935> in.

10 Who <4310> is this <2088> King <4428> of glory <3519>? The

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, he [is] the King <4428> of glory

<3519>. Selah <5542>.

Psalms 25

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Unto thee, O LORD <3068>, do I

lift <5375> up my soul <5315>.

2 O my God <0430>, I trust <0982> in thee: let me not be

ashamed <0954>, let not mine enemies <0341> triumph <5970> over

me.

3 Yea <1571>, let none <3808> that wait <6960> on thee be

ashamed <0954>: let them be ashamed <0954> which transgress

<0898> without <7387> cause <7387>.

4 Shew <3045> me thy ways <1870>, O LORD <3068>; teach <3925>

me thy paths <0734>.

5 Lead <1869> me in thy truth <0571>, and teach <3925> me: for

thou [art] the God <0430> of my salvation <3468>; on thee do I

wait <6960> all <3605> the day <3117>.

6 Remember <2142>, O LORD <3068>, thy tender mercies <7356> and

thy lovingkindnesses <2617>; for they [have been] ever of old

<5769>.

7 Remember <2142> not the sins <2403> of my youth <5271>, nor

my transgressions <6588>: according to thy mercy <2617> remember

<2142> thou me for thy goodness <2898>' sake <4616>, O LORD

<3068>.

8. Good <2896> and upright <3477> [is] the LORD <3068>:

therefore will he teach <3384> sinners <2400> in the way <1870>.

9 The meek <6035> will he guide <1869> in judgment <4941>: and

the meek <6035> will he teach <3925> his way <1870>.

10 All <3605> the paths <0734> of the LORD <3068> [are] mercy

<2617> and truth <0571> unto such as keep <5341> his covenant

<1285> and his testimonies <5713>.

11 For thy name's <8034> sake <4616>, O LORD <3068>, pardon

<5545> mine iniquity <5771>; for it [is] great <7227>.

12 What <4310> man <0376> [is] he that feareth <3373> the LORD

<3068>? him shall he teach <3384> in the way <1870> [that] he

shall choose <0977>.

13 His soul <5315> shall dwell <3885> at ease <2896>; and his

seed <2233> shall inherit <3423> the earth <0776>.

14 The secret <5475> of the LORD <3068> [is] with them that

fear <3373> him; and he will shew <3045> them his covenant

<1285>.

15. Mine eyes <5869> [are] ever <8548> toward <0413> the LORD

<3068>; for he shall pluck <3318> my feet <7272> out of the net

<7568>.

16 Turn <6437> thee unto me, and have mercy <2603> upon me; for

I [am] desolate <3173> and afflicted <6041>.

17 The troubles <6869> of my heart <3824> are enlarged <7337>:

[O] bring <3318> thou me out of my distresses <4691>.

18 Look <7200> upon mine affliction <6040> and my pain <5999>;

and forgive <5375> all <3605> my sins <2403>.

19 Consider <7200> mine enemies <0341>; for they are many

<7231>; and they hate <8130> me with cruel <2555> hatred <8135>.

20 O keep <8104> my soul <5315>, and deliver <5337> me: let me

not be ashamed <0954>; for I put my trust <2620> in thee.

21 Let integrity <8537> and uprightness <3476> preserve <5341>

me; for I wait <6960> on thee.

22 Redeem <6299> Israel <3478>, O God <0430>, out of all <3605>

his troubles <6869>.

Psalms 26

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Judge <8199> me, O LORD <3068>;

for I have walked <1980> in mine integrity <8537>: I have

trusted <0982> also in the LORD <3068>; [therefore] I shall not

slide <4571>.

2 Examine <0974> me, O LORD <3068>, and prove <5254> me; try

<6884> my reins <3629> and my heart <3820>.

3 For thy lovingkindness <2617> [is] before <5048> mine eyes

<5869>: and I have walked <1980> in thy truth <0571>.

4 I have not sat <3427> with vain <7723> persons <4962>,

neither <3808> will I go <0935> in with dissemblers <5956>.

5 I have hated <8130> the congregation <6951> of evil <7489>

doers <7489>; and will not <3808> sit <3427> with the wicked

<7563>.

6. I will wash <7364> mine hands <3709> in innocency <5356>: so

will I compass <5437> thine altar <4196>, O LORD <3068>:

7 That I may publish <8085> with the voice <6963> of

thanksgiving <3034>, and tell <5608> of all <3605> thy wondrous

<6381> works.

8 LORD <3068>, I have loved <0157> the habitation <4583> of thy

house <1004>, and the place <4725> where thine honour <3519>

dwelleth <4908>.

9 Gather <0622> not my soul <5315> with sinners <2400>, nor my

life <2416> with bloody <1818> men <0582>:

10 In whose <0834> hands <3027> [is] mischief <2154>, and their

right <3225> hand <3225> is full <4390> of bribes <7810>.

11 But as for me, I will walk <3212> in mine integrity <8537>:

redeem <6299> me, and be merciful <2603> unto me.

12 My foot <7272> standeth <5975> in an even <4334> place: in

the congregations <4721> will I bless <1288> the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 27

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. The LORD <3068> [is] my light

<0216> and my salvation <3468>; whom <4310> shall I fear <3372>?

the LORD <3068> [is] the strength <4581> of my life <2416>; of

whom <4310> shall I be afraid <6342>?

2 When the wicked <7489>, [even] mine enemies <6862> and my

foes <0341>, came <7126> upon me to eat <0398> up my flesh

<1320>, they stumbled <3782> and fell <5307>.

3 Though <0518> an host <4264> should encamp <2583> against

<5921> me, my heart <3820> shall not fear <3372>: though <0518>

war <4421> should rise <6965> against <5921> me, in this <2063>

[will] I [be] confident <0982>.

4 One <0259> [thing] have I desired <7592> of the LORD <3068>,

that will I seek <1245> after; that I may dwell <3427> in the

house <1004> of the LORD <3068> all <3605> the days <3117> of my

life <2416>, to behold <2372> the beauty <5278> of the LORD

<3068>, and to enquire <1239> in his temple <1964>.

5 For in the time <3117> of trouble <7451> he shall hide <6845>

me in his pavilion <5520>: in the secret <5643> of his

tabernacle <0168> shall he hide <5641> me; he shall set <7311>

me up upon a rock <6697>.

6 And now <6258> shall mine head <7218> be lifted <7311> up

above <5921> mine enemies <0341> round <5439> about me:

therefore will I offer <2076> in his tabernacle <0168>

sacrifices <2077> of joy <8643>; I will sing <7891>, yea, I will

sing <2167> praises unto the LORD <3068>.

7. Hear <8085>, O LORD <3068>, [when] I cry <7121> with my

voice <6963>: have mercy <2603> also upon me, and answer <6030>

me.

8 [When thou saidst <0559>], Seek <1245> ye my face <6440>; my

heart <3820> said <0559> unto thee, Thy face <6440>, LORD <3068>,

will I seek <1245>.

9 Hide <5641> not thy face <6440> [far] from me; put <5186> not

thy servant <5650> away <5186> in anger <0639>: thou hast been

<1961> my help <5833>; leave <5203> me not, neither <0408>

forsake <5800> me, O God <0430> of my salvation <3468>.

10 When <3588> my father <1> and my mother <0517> forsake

<5800> me, then the LORD <3068> will take <0622> me up.

11 Teach <3384> me thy way <1870>, O LORD <3068>, and lead

<5148> me in a plain <4334> path <0734>, because <4616> of mine

enemies <8342>.

12 Deliver <5414> me not over unto the will <5315> of mine

enemies <6862>: for false <8267> witnesses <5707> are risen

<6965> up against me, and such as breathe <3307> out cruelty

<2555>.

13 [I had fainted], unless <3884> I had believed <0539> to see

<7200> the goodness <2898> of the LORD <3068> in the land <0776>

of the living <2416>.

14 Wait <6960> on the LORD <3068>: be of good courage <2388>,

and he shall strengthen <0553> thine heart <3820>: wait <6960>,

I say, on the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 28

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Unto thee will I cry <7121>, O

LORD <3068> my rock <6697>; be not silent <2790> to me: lest

<6435>, [if] thou be silent <2790> to me, I become <4911> like

<5973> them that go <3381> down <3381> into the pit <0953>.

2 Hear <8085> the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>, when

I cry <7768> unto thee, when I lift <5375> up my hands <3027>

toward <0413> thy holy <6944> oracle <1687>.

3 Draw <4900> me not away with the wicked <7563>, and with the

workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>, which speak <1696> peace

<7965> to their neighbours <7453>, but mischief <7451> [is] in

their hearts <3824>.

4 Give <5414> them according to their deeds <6467>, and

according to the wickedness <7455> of their endeavours <4611>:

give <5414> them after the work <4639> of their hands <3027>;

render <7725> to them their desert <1576>.

5 Because <3588> they regard <0995> not the works <6468> of the

LORD <3068>, nor the operation <4639> of his hands <3027>, he

shall destroy <2040> them, and not build <1129> them up.

6. Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068>, because <3588> he hath

heard <8085> the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>.

7 The LORD <3068> [is] my strength <5797> and my shield <4043>;

my heart <3820> trusted <0982> in him, and I am helped <5826>:

therefore my heart <3820> greatly rejoiceth <5937>; and with my

song <7892> will I praise <3034> him.

8 The LORD <3068> [is] their strength <5797>, and he [is] the

saving <3444> strength <4581> of his anointed <4899>.

9 Save <3467> thy people <5971>, and bless <1288> thine

inheritance <5159>: feed <7462> them also, and lift <5375> them

up for ever <5769>.

Psalms 29

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. Give <3051> unto the LORD

<3068>, O ye mighty, give <3051> unto the LORD <3068> glory

<3519> and strength <5797>.

2 Give <3051> unto the LORD <3068> the glory <3519> due unto

his name <8034>; worship <7812> the LORD <3068> in the beauty

<1927> of holiness <6944>.

3 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> [is] upon the waters

<4325>: the God <0410> of glory <3519> thundereth <7481>: the

LORD <3068> [is] upon many <7227> waters <4325>.

4 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> [is] powerful <3581>; the

voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> [is] full of majesty <1926>.

5 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> breaketh <7665> the

cedars <0730>; yea, the LORD <3068> breaketh <7665> the cedars

<0730> of Lebanon <3844>.

6 He maketh them also to skip <7540> like <3644> a calf <5695>;

Lebanon <3844> and Sirion <8304> like <3644> a young <1121>

unicorn <7214>.

7 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> divideth <2672> the

flames <3852> of fire <0784>.

8 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> shaketh <2342> the

wilderness <4057>; the LORD <3068> shaketh <2342> the wilderness

<4057> of Kadesh <6946>.

9 The voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> maketh the hinds <0355>

to calve <2342>, and discovereth <2834> the forests <3295>: and

in his temple <1964> doth every <3605> one speak <0559> of [his]

glory <3519>.

10 The LORD <3068> sitteth <3427> upon the flood <3999>; yea,

the LORD <3068> sitteth <3427> King <4428> for ever <5769>.

11 The LORD <3068> will give <5414> strength <5797> unto his

people <5971>; the LORD <3068> will bless <1288> his people

<5971> with peace <7965>.

Psalms 30

1. A Psalm <4210> [and] Song <7892> [at] the dedication <2598>

of the house <1004> of David <1732>. I will extol <7311> thee, O

LORD <3068>; for thou hast lifted <1802> me up, and hast not

made my foes <0341> to rejoice <8055> over me.

2 O LORD <3068> my God <0430>, I cried <7768> unto thee, and

thou hast healed <7495> me.

3 O LORD <3068>, thou hast brought <5927> up my soul <5315>

from the grave <7585>: thou hast kept me alive <2421>, that I

should not go <3381> down <3381> to the pit <0953>.

4 Sing <2167> unto the LORD <3068>, O ye saints <2623> of his,

and give thanks <3034> at the remembrance <2143> of his holiness

<6944>.

5 For his anger <0639> [endureth but] a moment <7281>; in his

favour <7522> [is] life <2416>: weeping <1065> may endure <3885>

for a night <6153>, but joy <7440> [cometh] in the morning

<1242>.

6. And in my prosperity <7961> I said <0559>, I shall never be

moved <4131>.

7 LORD <3068>, by thy favour <7522> thou hast made my mountain

<2042> to stand <5975> strong <5797>: thou didst hide <5641> thy

face <6440>, [and] I was troubled <0926>.

8 I cried <7121> to thee, O LORD <3068>; and unto the LORD

<3068> I made supplication <2603>.

9 What <4100> profit <1215> [is there] in my blood <1818>, when

I go <3381> down <3381> to the pit <7845>? Shall the dust <6083>

praise <3034> thee? shall it declare <5046> thy truth <0571>?

10 Hear <8085>, O LORD <3068>, and have mercy <2603> upon me:

LORD <3068>, be thou my helper <5826>.

11 Thou hast turned <2015> for me my mourning <4553> into

dancing <4234>: thou hast put <6605> off my sackcloth <8242>,

and girded <0247> me with gladness <8057>;

12 To the end <4616> that [my] glory <3519> may sing <2167>

praise to thee, and not be silent <1826>. O LORD <3068> my God

<0430>, I will give thanks <3034> unto thee for ever <5769>.

Psalms 31

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

In thee, O LORD <3068>, do <6213> I put my trust <2620>; let me

never <0408> be ashamed <0954>: deliver <6403> me in thy

righteousness <6666>.

2 Bow <5186> down <5186> thine ear <0241> to me; deliver <5337>

me speedily <4120>: be thou my strong <4581> rock <6697>, for an

house <1004> of defence <4686> to save <3467> me.

3 For thou [art] my rock <5553> and my fortress <4686>;

therefore for thy name's <8034> sake <4616> lead <5148> me, and

guide <5095> me.

4 Pull <3318> me out of the net <7568> that they have laid

<2934> privily <2934> for me: for thou [art] my strength <4581>.

5 Into thine hand <3027> I commit <6485> my spirit <7307>: thou

hast redeemed <6299> me, O LORD <3068> God <0410> of truth

<0571>.

6 I have hated <8130> them that regard <8104> lying <7723>

vanities <1892>: but I trust <0982> in the LORD <3068>.

7 I will be glad <1523> and rejoice <8055> in thy mercy <2617>:

for thou hast considered <7200> my trouble <6040>; thou hast

known <3045> my soul <5315> in adversities <6869>;

8 And hast not shut <5462> me up into the hand <3027> of the

enemy <0341>: thou hast set <5975> my feet <7272> in a large

<4800> room <4800>.

9. Have mercy <2603> upon me, O LORD <3068>, for I am in

trouble <6887>: mine eye <5869> is consumed <6244> with grief

<3708>, [yea], my soul <5315> and my belly <0990>.

10 For my life <2416> is spent <3615> with grief <3015>, and my

years <8141> with sighing <0585>: my strength <3581> faileth

<3782> because of mine iniquity <5771>, and my bones <6106> are

consumed <6244>.

11 I was a reproach <2781> among all <3605> mine enemies <6887>,

but especially <3966> among my neighbours <7934>, and a fear

<6343> to mine acquaintance <3045>: they that did see <7200> me

without <2351> fled <5074> from me.

12 I am forgotten <7911> as a dead <4191> man out of mind

<3820>: I am like <3644> a broken <6> vessel <3627>.

13 For I have heard <8085> the slander <1681> of many <7227>:

fear <4032> [was] on every <5437> side <5439>: while they took

counsel <3245> together <3162> against <5921> me, they devised

<2161> to take <3947> away my life <5315>.

14 But I trusted <0982> in thee, O LORD <3068>: I said <0559>,

Thou [art] my God <0430>.

15 My times <6256> [are] in thy hand <3027>: deliver <5337> me

from the hand <3027> of mine enemies <0341>, and from them that

persecute <7291> me.

16 Make thy face <6440> to shine <0215> upon thy servant <5650>:

save <3467> me for thy mercies <2617>' sake.

17 Let me not be ashamed <0954>, O LORD <3068>; for I have

called <7121> upon thee: let the wicked <7563> be ashamed <0954>,

[and] let them be silent <1826> in the grave <7585>.

18 Let the lying <8267> lips <8193> be put to silence <0481>;

which speak <1696> grievous <6277> things proudly <1346> and

contemptuously against <5921> the righteous <6662>.

19. [Oh] how <4100> great <7227> [is] thy goodness <2898>,

which <0834> thou hast laid <6845> up for them that fear <3373>

thee; [which] thou hast wrought <6466> for them that trust

<2620> in thee before <5048> the sons <1121> of men <0120>!

20 Thou shalt hide <5641> them in the secret <5643> of thy

presence <6440> from the pride <7407> of man <0376>: thou shalt

keep them secretly <6845> in a pavilion <5521> from the strife

<7379> of tongues <3956>.

21 Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068>: for he hath shewed me

his marvellous <6381> kindness <2617> in a strong <4692> city

<5892>.

22 For I said <0559> in my haste <2648>, I am cut <1629> off

from before <5048> thine eyes <5869>: nevertheless <0403> thou

heardest <8085> the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469> when

I cried <7768> unto thee.

23 O love <0157> the LORD <3068>, all <3605> ye his saints

<2623>: [for] the LORD <3068> preserveth <5341> the faithful

<0539>, and plentifully <3499> rewardeth <7999> the proud <1346>

doer <6218>.

24 Be of good courage <2388>, and he shall strengthen <0553>

your heart <3824>, all <3605> ye that hope <3176> in the LORD

<3068>.

Psalms 32

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>, Maschil <7919>. Blessed <0835>

[is he whose] transgression <6588> [is] forgiven <5375>, [whose]

sin <2401> [is] covered <3680>.

2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0120> unto whom the LORD <3068>

imputeth <2803> not iniquity <5771>, and in whose spirit <7307>

[there is] no <0369> guile <7423>.

3 When <3588> I kept <2790> silence <2790>, my bones <6106>

waxed old <1086> through my roaring <7581> all <3605> the day

<3117> long.

4 For day <3119> and night <3915> thy hand <3027> was heavy

<3513> upon me: my moisture <3955> is turned <2015> into the

drought <2725> of summer <7019>. Selah <5542>.

5 I acknowledged <3045> my sin <2403> unto thee, and mine

iniquity <5771> have I not hid <3680>. I said <0559>, I will

confess <3034> my transgressions <6588> unto the LORD <3068>;

and thou forgavest <5375> the iniquity <5771> of my sin <2403>.

Selah <5542>.

6 For this <2063> shall every <3605> one that is godly <2623>

pray <6419> unto thee in a time <6256> when thou mayest be found

<4672>: surely <7535> in the floods <7858> of great <7227>

waters <4325> they shall not come <5060> nigh <5060> unto him.

7. Thou [art] my hiding <5643> place; thou shalt preserve

<5341> me from trouble <6862>; thou shalt compass <5437> me

about with songs <7438> of deliverance <6405>. Selah <5542>.

8 I will instruct <7919> thee and teach <3384> thee in the way

<1870> which <2098> thou shalt go <3212>: I will guide <3289>

thee with mine eye <5869>.

9 Be ye not as the horse <5483>, [or] as the mule <6505>,

[which] have no <0369> understanding <0995>: whose mouth <5716>

must be held <1102> in with bit <4964> and bridle <7448>, lest

<1077> they come <7126> near <7126> unto thee.

10 Many <7227> sorrows <4341> [shall be] to the wicked <7563>:

but he that trusteth <0982> in the LORD <3068>, mercy <2617>

shall compass <5437> him about.

11 Be glad <8056> in the LORD <3068>, and rejoice <1524>, ye

righteous <6662>: and shout <7442> for joy, all <3605> [ye that

are] upright <3477> in heart <3820>.

Psalms 33

1. Rejoice <7442> in the LORD <3068>, O ye righteous <6662>:

[for] praise <8416> is comely <5000> for the upright <3477>.

2 Praise <3034> the LORD <3068> with harp <3658>: sing <2167>

unto him with the psaltery <5035> [and] an instrument of ten

<6218> strings.

3 Sing <7891> unto him a new <2319> song <7892>; play <5059>

skilfully <3190> with a loud noise <8643>.

4 For the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> [is] right <3477>; and

all <3605> his works <4640> [are done] in truth <0530>.

5 He loveth <0157> righteousness <6666> and judgment <4941>:

the earth <0776> is full <4390> of the goodness <2617> of the

LORD <3068>.

6 By the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> were the heavens <8064>

made <6213>; and all <3605> the host <6635> of them by the

breath <7307> of his mouth <6310>.

7 He gathereth <3664> the waters <4325> of the sea <3220>

together as an heap <5067>: he layeth <5414> up the depth <8415>

in storehouses <0214>.

8 Let all <3605> the earth <0776> fear <3372> the LORD <3068>:

let all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the world <8398> stand

<1481> in awe <1481> of him.

9 For he spake <0559>, and it was [done]; he commanded <6680>,

and it stood <5975> fast.

10 The LORD <3068> bringeth <6331> the counsel <6098> of the

heathen <1471> to nought <6331>: he maketh the devices <4284> of

the people <5971> of none <5106> effect <5106>.

11 The counsel <6098> of the LORD <3068> standeth <5975> for

ever <5769>, the thoughts <4284> of his heart <3820> to all

generations <1755>.

12. Blessed <0835> [is] the nation <1471> whose <0834> God

<0430> [is] the LORD <3068>; [and] the people <5971> [whom] he

hath chosen <0970> for his own inheritance <5159>.

13 The LORD <3068> looketh <5027> from heaven <8064>; he

beholdeth <7200> all <3605> the sons <1121> of men <0120>.

14 From the place <4349> of his habitation <3427> he looketh

<7688> upon all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the earth

<0776>.

15 He fashioneth <3335> their hearts <3820> alike <3162>; he

considereth <0995> all <3605> their works <4640>.

16 There is no <0369> king <4428> saved <3467> by the multitude

<7230> of an host <2428>: a mighty <1368> man is not delivered

<5337> by much <7230> strength <3581>.

17 An horse <5483> [is] a vain <8267> thing for safety <8668>:

neither <3808> shall he deliver <4422> [any] by his great <7230>

strength <2428>.

18 Behold <2009>, the eye <5869> of the LORD <3068> [is] upon

them that fear <3373> him, upon them that hope <3176> in his

mercy <2617>;

19 To deliver <5337> their soul <5315> from death <4194>, and

to keep them alive <2421> in famine <7458>.

20 Our soul <5315> waiteth <2442> for the LORD <3068>: he [is]

our help <5828> and our shield <4043>.

21 For our heart <3820> shall rejoice <8055> in him, because

<3588> we have trusted <0982> in his holy <6944> name <8034>.

22 Let thy mercy <2617>, O LORD <3068>, be upon us, according

as we hope <3176> in thee.

Psalms 34

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>, when he changed <8138> his

behaviour <2940> before <6440> Abimelech <40>; who drove him

away <1644>, and he departed <3212>. I will bless <1288> the

LORD <3068> at all <3605> times <6256>: his praise <8416>

[shall] continually <8548> [be] in my mouth <6310>.

2 My soul <5315> shall make her boast <1984> in the LORD <3068>:

the humble <6041> shall hear <8085> [thereof], and be glad

<8056>.

3 O magnify <1431> the LORD <3068> with me, and let us exalt

<7311> his name <8034> together <3162>.

4 I sought <1875> the LORD <3068>, and he heard <6030> me, and

delivered <5337> me from all <3605> my fears <4035>.

5 They looked <5027> unto him, and were lightened <5102>: and

their faces <6440> were not ashamed <2659>.

6 This <2088> poor <6041> man cried <7121>, and the LORD <3068>

heard <8085> [him], and saved <3467> him out of all <3605> his

troubles <6869>.

7 The angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> encampeth <2583> round

<5439> about them that fear <3373> him, and delivereth <2502>

them.

8 O taste <2938> and see <7200> that the LORD <3068> [is] good

<2896>: blessed <0835> [is] the man <1397> [that] trusteth

<2620> in him.

9 O fear <3372> the LORD <3068>, ye his saints <6918>: for

[there is] no <0369> want <4270> to them that fear <3373> him.

10 The young <3715> lions <3715> do <6213> lack <7326>, and

suffer hunger <7456>: but they that seek <1875> the LORD <3068>

shall not want <2637> any <3605> good <2896> [thing].

11. Come <3212>, ye children <1121>, hearken <8085> unto me: I

will teach <3925> you the fear <3374> of the LORD <3068>.

12 What <4310> man <0376> [is he that] desireth <2655> life

<2416>, [and] loveth <0157> [many] days <3117>, that he may see

<7200> good <2896>?

13 Keep <5341> thy tongue <3956> from evil <7451>, and thy lips

<8193> from speaking <1696> guile <4820>.

14 Depart <5493> from evil <7451>, and do <6213> good <2896>;

seek <1245> peace <7965>, and pursue <7291> it.

15 The eyes <5869> of the LORD <3068> [are] upon the righteous

<6662>, and his ears <0241> [are open] unto their cry <7775>.

16 The face <6440> of the LORD <3068> [is] against them that do

<6213> evil <7451>, to cut <3772> off the remembrance <2143> of

them from the earth <0776>.

17 [The righteous] cry <6817>, and the LORD <3068> heareth

<8085>, and delivereth <5337> them out of all <3605> their

troubles <6869>.

18 The LORD <3068> [is] nigh <7126> unto them that are of a

broken <7665> heart <3820>; and saveth <3467> such as be of a

contrite <1793> spirit <7307>.

19 Many <7227> [are] the afflictions <7451> of the righteous

<6662>: but the LORD <3068> delivereth <5337> him out of them

all <3605>.

20 He keepeth <8104> all <3605> his bones <6106>: not one

<0259> of them is broken <7665>.

21 Evil <7451> shall slay <4191> the wicked <7563>: and they

that hate <8130> the righteous <6662> shall be desolate <0816>.

22 The LORD <3068> redeemeth <6299> the soul <5315> of his

servants <5650>: and none <3808> of them that trust <2620> in

him shall be desolate <0816>.

Psalms 35

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Plead <7378> [my cause], O LORD

<3068>, with them that strive <3401> with me: fight <3898>

against them that fight <3898> against me.

2 Take <2388> hold <2388> of shield <4043> and buckler <6793>,

and stand <6965> up for mine help <5833>.

3 Draw <7324> out also the spear <2595>, and stop <5462> [the

way] against <7125> them that persecute <7291> me: say <0559>

unto my soul <5315>, I [am] thy salvation <3444>.

4 Let them be confounded <0954> and put to shame <3637> that

seek <1245> after my soul <5315>: let them be turned <5472> back

<0268> and brought <2659> to confusion <2659> that devise <2803>

my hurt <7451>.

5 Let them be as chaff <4671> before <6440> the wind <7307>:

and let the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> chase <1760> [them].

6 Let their way <1870> be dark <2822> and slippery <2519>: and

let the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> persecute <7291> them.

7 For without <2600> cause <2600> have they hid <2934> for me

their net <7568> [in] a pit <7845>, [which] without <2600> cause

<2600> they have digged <2658> for my soul <5315>.

8 Let destruction <7722> come <0935> upon him at unawares

<3045>; and let his net <7568> that he hath hid <2934> catch

<3920> himself: into that very destruction <7722> let him fall

<5307>.

9 And my soul <5315> shall be joyful <1523> in the LORD <3068>:

it shall rejoice <7797> in his salvation <3444>.

10 All <3605> my bones <6106> shall say <0559>, LORD <3068>,

who <4310> [is] like unto thee, which deliverest <5337> the poor

<6041> from him that is too strong <2389> for him, yea, the poor

<6041> and the needy <34> from him that spoileth <1497> him?

11. False <2555> witnesses <5707> did rise <6965> up; they laid

to my charge <7592> [things] that I knew <3045> not.

12 They rewarded <7999> me evil <7451> for good <2896> [to] the

spoiling <7908> of my soul <5315>.

13 But as for me, when they were sick <2470>, my clothing

<3830> [was] sackcloth <8242>: I humbled <6031> my soul <5315>

with fasting <6685>; and my prayer <8605> returned <7725> into

<5921> mine own bosom <2436>.

14 I behaved <1980> myself as though [he had been] my friend

<7453> [or] brother <0251>: I bowed <7817> down <7817> heavily

<6957>, as one that mourneth <57> [for his] mother <0517>.

15 But in mine adversity <6761> they rejoiced <8055>, and

gathered <0622> themselves together: [yea], the abjects <5222>

gathered <0622> themselves together against <5921> me, and I

knew <3045> [it] not; they did tear <7167> [me], and ceased

<1826> not:

16 With hypocritical <2611> mockers <3934> in feasts <4580>,

they gnashed <2786> upon me with their teeth <8127>.

17. Lord <0136>, how <4100> long <5704> wilt thou look <7200>

on? rescue <7725> my soul <5315> from their destructions <7722>,

my darling <3173> from the lions <3715>.

18 I will give thee thanks <3034> in the great <7227>

congregation <6951>: I will praise <1984> thee among much <6079>

people <5971>.

19 Let not them that are mine enemies <0341> wrongfully <8267>

rejoice <8055> over me: [neither] let them wink <7169> with the

eye <5869> that hate <8130> me without <2600> a cause <2600>.

20 For they speak <1696> not peace <7965>: but they devise

<2803> deceitful <4820> matters <1697> against <5921> [them that

are] quiet <7282> in the land <0776>.

21 Yea, they opened their mouth <6310> wide <7337> against

<5921> me, [and] said <0559>, Aha <0253>, aha <0253>, our eye

<5869> hath seen <7200> [it].

22 [This] thou hast seen <7200>, O LORD <3068>: keep not

silence <2790>: O Lord <3068>, be not far <7368> from me.

23 Stir <5782> up thyself, and awake <6974> to my judgment

<4941>, [even] unto my cause <7379>, my God <0430> and my Lord

<0136>.

24 Judge <8199> me, O LORD <3068> my God <0430>, according to

thy righteousness <6664>; and let them not rejoice <8055> over

me.

25 Let them not say <0559> in their hearts <3820>, Ah <0253>,

so would <5315> we have it: let them not say <0559>, We have

swallowed <1104> him up.

26 Let them be ashamed <0954> and brought <2659> to confusion

<2659> together <3162> that rejoice <8055> at mine hurt <7451>:

let them be clothed <3847> with shame <1322> and dishonour

<3639> that magnify <1431> [themselves] against <5921> me.

27 Let them shout <7442> for joy, and be glad <8056>, that

favour <2655> my righteous <6664> cause: yea, let them say

<0559> continually <8548>, Let the LORD <3068> be magnified

<1431>, which hath pleasure <2655> in the prosperity <7965> of

his servant <5650>.

28 And my tongue <3956> shall speak <1897> of thy righteousness

<6664> [and] of thy praise <8416> all <3605> the day <3117> long.

Psalms 36

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [A Psalm] of David <1732> the

servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>. The transgression <6588> of

the wicked <7563> saith <5002> within <7130> my heart <3820>,

[that there is] no <0369> fear <6343> of God <0430> before

<5048> his eyes <5869>.

2 For he flattereth <2505> himself in his own eyes <5869>,

until his iniquity <5771> be found <4672> to be hateful <8130>.

3 The words <1697> of his mouth <6310> [are] iniquity <0205>

and deceit <4820>: he hath left <2308> off to be wise <7919>,

[and] to do good <3190>.

4 He deviseth <2803> mischief <0205> upon his bed <4904>; he

setteth <3320> himself in a way <1870> [that is] not good <2896>;

he abhorreth <3988> not evil <7451>.

5. Thy mercy <2617>, O LORD <3068>, [is] in the heavens <8064>;

[and] thy faithfulness <0530> [reacheth] unto the clouds <7834>.

6 Thy righteousness <6666> [is] like the great <0410> mountains

<2042>; thy judgments <4941> [are] a great <7227> deep <8415>: O

LORD <3068>, thou preservest <3467> man <0120> and beast <0929>.

7 How <4100> excellent <3368> [is] thy lovingkindness <2617>, O

God <0430>! therefore the children <1121> of men <0120> put

their trust <2620> under the shadow <6738> of thy wings <3671>.

8 They shall be abundantly <7301> satisfied <7301> with the

fatness <1880> of thy house <1004>; and thou shalt make them

drink <8248> of the river <5158> of thy pleasures <5730>.

9 For with thee [is] the fountain <4726> of life <2416>: in thy

light <0216> shall we see <7200> light <0216>.

10 O continue <4900> thy lovingkindness <2617> unto them that

know <3045> thee; and thy righteousness <6666> to the upright

<3477> in heart <3820>.

11 Let not the foot <7272> of pride <1346> come <0935> against

me, and let not the hand <3027> of the wicked <7563> remove

<5110> me.

12 There <8033> are the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>

fallen <5307>: they are cast <1760> down <1760>, and shall not

be able <3201> to rise <6965>.

Psalms 37

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Fret <2734> not thyself because

of evildoers <7489>, neither <0408> be thou envious <7065>

against the workers <6213> of iniquity <5766>.

2 For they shall soon <4120> be cut <5243> down <5243> like the

grass <2682>, and wither <5034> as the green <3418> herb <1877>.

3 Trust <0982> in the LORD <3068>, and do <6213> good <2896>;

[so] shalt thou dwell <7931> in the land <0776>, and verily

<0530> thou shalt be fed <7462>.

4 Delight <6026> thyself also in the LORD <3068>; and he shall

give <5414> thee the desires <4862> of thine heart <3820>.

5 Commit <1556> thy way <1870> unto the LORD <3068>; trust

<0982> also in him; and he shall bring <6213> [it] to pass

<6213>.

6 And he shall bring <3318> forth <3318> thy righteousness

<6664> as the light <0216>, and thy judgment <4941> as the

noonday <6672>.

7. Rest <1826> in the LORD <3068>, and wait <2342> patiently

<2342> for him: fret <2734> not thyself because of him who

prospereth <6743> in his way <1870>, because of the man <0376>

who bringeth <6213> wicked <4209> devices <4209> to pass <6213>.

8 Cease <7503> from anger <0639>, and forsake <5800> wrath

<2534>: fret <2734> not thyself in any wise to do evil <7489>.

9 For evildoers <7489> shall be cut <3772> off: but those that

wait <6960> upon the LORD <3068>, they shall inherit <3423> the

earth <0776>.

10 For yet <5750> a little <4592> while, and the wicked <7563>

[shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently <0995> consider

<0995> his place <4725>, and it [shall] not [be].

11 But the meek <6035> shall inherit <3423> the earth <0776>;

and shall delight <6026> themselves in the abundance <7230> of

peace <7965>.

12 The wicked <7563> plotteth <2161> against the just <6662>,

and gnasheth <2786> upon him with his teeth <8127>.

13 The Lord <0136> shall laugh <7832> at him: for he seeth

<7200> that his day <3117> is coming <0935>.

14 The wicked <7563> have drawn <6605> out the sword <2719>,

and have bent <1869> their bow <7198>, to cast <5307> down

<5307> the poor <6041> and needy <34>, [and] to slay <2873> such

as be of upright <3477> conversation <1870>.

15 Their sword <2719> shall enter <0935> into their own heart

<3820>, and their bows <7198> shall be broken <7665>.

16 A little <4592> that a righteous <6662> man hath [is] better

<2896> than the riches <1995> of many <7227> wicked <7563>.

17 For the arms <2220> of the wicked <7563> shall be broken

<7665>: but the LORD <3068> upholdeth <5564> the righteous

<6662>.

18 The LORD <3068> knoweth <3045> the days <3117> of the

upright <8549>: and their inheritance <5159> shall be for ever

<5769>.

19 They shall not be ashamed <0954> in the evil <7451> time

<6256>: and in the days <3117> of famine <7459> they shall be

satisfied <7646>.

20 But the wicked <7563> shall perish <6>, and the enemies

<0341> of the LORD <3068> [shall be] as the fat <3368> of lambs

<3733>: they shall consume <3615>; into smoke <6227> shall they

consume <3615> away.

21. The wicked <7563> borroweth <3867>, and payeth <7999> not

again <7999>: but the righteous <6662> sheweth mercy <2603>, and

giveth <5414>.

22 For [such as be] blessed <1288> of him shall inherit <3423>

the earth <0776>; and [they that be] cursed <7043> of him shall

be cut <3772> off.

23 The steps <4703> of a [good] man <1397> are ordered <3559>

by the LORD <3068>: and he delighteth <2654> in his way <1870>.

24 Though <3588> he fall <5307>, he shall not be utterly cast

<2904> down <2904>: for the LORD <3068> upholdeth <5564> [him

with] his hand <3027>.

25 I have been <1961> young <5288>, and [now] am old <2204>;

yet have I not seen <7200> the righteous <6662> forsaken <5800>,

nor his seed <2233> begging <1245> bread <3899>.

26 [He is] ever merciful <2603>, and lendeth <3867>; and his

seed <2233> [is] blessed <1293>.

27 Depart <5493> from evil <7451>, and do <6213> good <2896>;

and dwell <7931> for evermore <5769>.

28 For the LORD <3068> loveth <0157> judgment <4941>, and

forsaketh <5800> not his saints <2623>; they are preserved

<8104> for ever <5769>: but the seed <2233> of the wicked <7563>

shall be cut <3772> off.

29 The righteous <6662> shall inherit <3423> the land <0776>,

and dwell <7931> therein <5921> for ever <5703>.

30 The mouth <6310> of the righteous <6662> speaketh <1897>

wisdom <2451>, and his tongue <3956> talketh <1696> of judgment

<4941>.

31 The law <8451> of his God <0430> [is] in his heart <3820>;

none <3808> of his steps <0838> shall slide <4571>.

32 The wicked <7563> watcheth <6822> the righteous <6662>, and

seeketh <1245> to slay <4191> him.

33 The LORD <3068> will not leave <5800> him in his hand <3027>,

nor <3808> condemn <7561> him when he is judged <8199>.

34. Wait <6960> on the LORD <3068>, and keep <8104> his way

<1870>, and he shall exalt <7311> thee to inherit <3423> the

land <0776>: when the wicked <7563> are cut <3772> off, thou

shalt see <7200> [it].

35 I have seen <7200> the wicked <7563> in great power <6184>,

and spreading <6168> himself like a green <7488> bay <0249> tree.

36 Yet he passed <5674> away, and, lo <2009>, he [was] not: yea,

I sought <1245> him, but he could not be found <4672>.

37 Mark <8104> the perfect <8535> [man], and behold <7200> the

upright <3477>: for the end <0319> of [that] man <0376> [is]

peace <7965>.

38 But the transgressors <6586> shall be destroyed <8045>

together <3162>: the end <0319> of the wicked <7563> shall be

cut <3772> off.

39 But the salvation <8668> of the righteous <6662> [is] of the

LORD <3068>: [he is] their strength <4581> in the time <6256> of

trouble <6869>.

40 And the LORD <3068> shall help <5826> them, and deliver

<6403> them: he shall deliver <6403> them from the wicked <7563>,

and save <3467> them, because <3588> they trust <2620> in him.

Psalms 38

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>, to bring to remembrance

<2142>. O LORD <3068>, rebuke <3198> me not in thy wrath <7110>:

neither chasten <3256> me in thy hot <2534> displeasure <2534>.

2 For thine arrows <2671> stick <5181> fast in me, and thy hand

<3027> presseth <5181> me sore.

3 [There is] no <0369> soundness <4974> in my flesh <1320>

because <6440> of thine anger <2195>; neither <0369> [is there

any] rest <7965> in my bones <6106> because <6440> of my sin

<2403>.

4 For mine iniquities <5771> are gone <5674> over <5674> mine

head <7218>: as an heavy <3515> burden <4853> they are too heavy

<3513> for me.

5 My wounds <2250> stink <0887> [and] are corrupt <4743>

because <6440> of my foolishness <0200>.

6 I am troubled <5753>; I am <1961> bowed <7817> down <7817>

greatly <3966>; I go <1980> mourning <6937> all <3605> the day

<3117> long.

7 For my loins <3689> are filled <4390> with a loathsome <7033>

[disease]: and [there is] no <0369> soundness <4974> in my flesh

<1320>.

8 I am feeble <6313> and sore broken <1794>: I have roared

<7580> by reason of the disquietness <5100> of my heart <3820>.

9 Lord <0136>, all <3605> my desire <8378> [is] before <5048>

thee; and my groaning <0585> is not hid <5641> from thee.

10 My heart <3820> panteth <5503>, my strength <3581> faileth

<5800> me: as for the light <0216> of mine eyes <5869>, it also

<1571> is gone <0369> from me.

11 My lovers <0157> and my friends <7453> stand <5975> aloof

<5048> from my sore <5061>; and my kinsmen <7138> stand <5975>

afar <7350> off.

12. They also that seek <1245> after my life <5315> lay snares

<5367> [for me]: and they that seek <1875> my hurt <7451> speak

<1696> mischievous <1942> things, and imagine <1897> deceits

<4820> all <3605> the day <3117> long.

13 But I, as a deaf <2795> [man], heard <8085> not; and [I was]

as a dumb <0483> man [that] openeth <6605> not his mouth <6310>.

14 Thus I was as a man <0376> that heareth <8085> not, and in

whose mouth <6310> [are] no <0369> reproofs <8433>.

15 For in thee, O LORD <3068>, do I hope <3176>: thou wilt hear

<6030>, O Lord <0136> my God <0430>.

16 For I said <0559>, [Hear me], lest <6435> [otherwise] they

should rejoice <8056> over me: when my foot <7272> slippeth

<4131>, they magnify <1431> [themselves] against <5921> me.

17 For I [am] ready <3559> to halt <6761>, and my sorrow <4341>

[is] continually <8548> before <5048> me.

18 For I will declare <5046> mine iniquity <5771>; I will be

sorry <1672> for my sin <2403>.

19 But mine enemies <0341> [are] lively <2416>, [and] they are

strong <6105>: and they that hate <8130> me wrongfully <8267>

are multiplied <7231>.

20 They also that render <7999> evil <7451> for good <2896> are

mine adversaries <7853>; because <8478> I follow <7291> [the

thing that] good <2896> [is].

21 Forsake <5800> me not, O LORD <3068>: O my God <0430>, be

not far <7368> from me.

22 Make haste <2363> to help <5833> me, O Lord <0136> my

salvation <8668>.

Psalms 39

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [even] to Jeduthun <3038>, A

Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. I said <0559>, I will take heed

<8104> to my ways <1870>, that I sin <2398> not with my tongue

<3956>: I will keep <8104> my mouth <6310> with a bridle <4269>,

while <5750> the wicked <7563> is before <5048> me.

2 I was dumb <0481> with silence <1747>, I held <2714> my peace

<2814>, [even] from good <2896>; and my sorrow <3511> was

stirred <5916>.

3 My heart <3820> was hot <2552> within <7130> me, while I was

musing <1901> the fire <0784> burned <1197>: [then] spake <1696>

I with my tongue <3956>,

4 LORD <3068>, make me to know <3045> mine end <7093>, and the

measure <4060> of my days <3117>, what <4310> it [is; that] I

may know <3045> how <4100> frail <2310> I [am].

5 Behold <2009>, thou hast made <5414> my days <3117> [as] an

handbreadth <2947>; and mine age <2465> [is] as nothing <0369>

before <5048> thee: verily <0389> every <3605> man <0120> at his

best <5324> state <5324> [is] altogether <3605> vanity <1892>.

Selah <5542>.

6 Surely <0389> every man <0376> walketh <1980> in a vain shew

<6754>: surely <0389> they are disquieted <1993> in vain <1892>:

he heapeth <6651> up [riches], and knoweth <3045> not who <4310>

shall gather <0622> them.

7. And now <6258>, Lord <0136>, what <4100> wait <6960> I for?

my hope <8431> [is] in thee.

8 Deliver <5337> me from all <3605> my transgressions <6588>:

make <7760> me not the reproach <2781> of the foolish <5036>.

9 I was dumb <0481>, I opened <6605> not my mouth <6310>;

because <3588> thou didst <6213> [it].

10 Remove <5493> thy stroke <5061> away from me: I am consumed

<3615> by the blow <8409> of thine hand <3027>.

11 When thou with rebukes <8433> dost correct <3256> man <0376>

for iniquity <5771>, thou makest his beauty <2530> to consume

<4529> away like a moth <6211>: surely <0389> every <3605> man

<0120> [is] vanity <1892>. Selah <5542>.

12 Hear <8085> my prayer <8605>, O LORD <3068>, and give ear

<0238> unto my cry <7775>; hold <2790> not thy peace <2790> at

<0413> my tears <1832>: for I [am] a stranger <1616> with thee,

[and] a sojourner <8453>, as all <3605> my fathers <1> [were].

13 O spare <8159> me, that I may recover <1082> strength <1082>,

before <2962> I go <3212> hence, and be no <0369> more.

Psalms 40

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

I waited <6960> patiently <6960> for the LORD <3068>; and he

inclined <5186> unto me, and heard <8085> my cry <7775>.

2 He brought <5927> me up also out of an horrible <7588> pit

<0953>, out of the miry <3121> clay <2916>, and set <6965> my

feet <7272> upon a rock <5553>, [and] established <3559> my

goings <0838>.

3 And he hath put <5414> a new <2319> song <7892> in my mouth

<6310>, [even] praise <8416> unto our God <0430>: many <7227>

shall see <7200> [it], and fear <3372>, and shall trust <0982>

in the LORD <3068>.

4 Blessed <0835> [is] that man <1397> that maketh <7760> the

LORD <3068> his trust <4009>, and respecteth <6437> not the

proud <7295>, nor <3808> such as turn <7750> aside <7847> to

lies <3576>.

5 Many <7227>, O LORD <3068> my God <0430>, [are] thy wonderful

<6381> works [which] thou hast done <6213>, and thy thoughts

<4284> [which are] to us-ward <0413>: they cannot <0408> be

reckoned up in order <6186> unto thee: [if] I would declare

<5046> and speak <1696> [of them], they are more <6105> than can

be numbered <5608>.

6. Sacrifice <2077> and offering <4503> thou didst not desire

<2654>; mine ears <0241> hast thou opened <3738>: burnt <5930>

offering and sin <2401> offering hast thou not required <7592>.

7 Then <0227> said <0559> I, Lo <2009>, I come <0935>: in the

volume <4039> of the book <5612> [it is] written <3789> of me,

8 I delight <2654> to do <6213> thy will <7522>, O my God

<0430>: yea, thy law <8451> [is] within <8432> my heart <4578>.

9 I have preached <1319> righteousness <6664> in the great

<7227> congregation <6951>: lo <2009>, I have not refrained

<3607> my lips <8193>, O LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045>.

10 I have not hid <3680> thy righteousness <6666> within <8432>

my heart <3820>; I have declared <0559> thy faithfulness <0530>

and thy salvation <8668>: I have not concealed <3582> thy

lovingkindness <2617> and thy truth <0571> from the great <7227>

congregation <6951>.

11. Withhold <3607> not thou thy tender mercies <7356> from me,

O LORD <3068>: let thy lovingkindness <2617> and thy truth

<0571> continually <8544> preserve <5341> me.

12 For innumerable evils <7451> have compassed <0661> me about:

mine iniquities <5771> have taken <5381> hold <5381> upon me, so

that I am not able <3201> to look <7200> up; they are more

<6105> than the hairs <8185> of mine head <7218>: therefore my

heart <3820> faileth <5800> me.

13 Be pleased <7521>, O LORD <3068>, to deliver <5337> me: O

LORD <3068>, make haste <2363> to help <5833> me.

14 Let them be ashamed <0954> and confounded <2659> together

<3162> that seek <1245> after my soul <5315> to destroy <5595>

it; let them be driven <5472> backward <0268> and put to shame

<3637> that wish <2655> me evil <7451>.

15 Let them be desolate <8074> for a reward <6118> of their

shame <1322> that say <0559> unto me, Aha <0253>, aha <0253>.

16 Let all <3605> those that seek <1245> thee rejoice <7797>

and be glad <8056> in thee: let such as love <0157> thy

salvation <8668> say <0559> continually <8548>, The LORD <3068>

be magnified <1431>.

17 But I [am] poor <6041> and needy <34>; [yet] the Lord <0136>

thinketh <2803> upon me: thou [art] my help <5833> and my

deliverer <6403>; make no <0408> tarrying <0309>, O my God

<0430>.

Psalms 41

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

Blessed <0835> [is] he that considereth <7919> the poor <1800>:

the LORD <3068> will deliver <4422> him in time <3117> of

trouble <7451>.

2 The LORD <3068> will preserve <8104> him, and keep him alive

<2421>; [and] he shall be blessed <0833> upon the earth <0776>:

and thou wilt not deliver <5414> him unto the will <5315> of his

enemies <0341>.

3 The LORD <3068> will strengthen <5582> him upon the bed

<6210> of languishing <1741>: thou wilt make <2015> all <3605>

his bed <4904> in his sickness <2483>.

4 I said <0559>, LORD <3068>, be merciful <2603> unto me: heal

<7495> my soul <5315>; for I have sinned <2398> against thee.

5. Mine enemies <0341> speak <0559> evil <7451> of me, When

<4970> shall he die <4191>, and his name <8034> perish <6>?

6 And if <0518> he come <0935> to see <7200> [me], he speaketh

<1696> vanity <7723>: his heart <3820> gathereth <6908> iniquity

<0205> to itself; [when] he goeth <3318> abroad <2351>, he

telleth <1696> [it].

7 All <3605> that hate <8130> me whisper <3907> together <3162>

against <5921> me: against <5921> me do they devise <2803> my

hurt <7451>.

8 An evil <1100> disease <1697>, [say they], cleaveth <3332>

fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth <7901> he shall rise

<6965> up no <3808> more <3254>.

9 Yea <1571>, mine own familiar <7965> friend, in whom <0834> I

trusted <0982>, which did eat <0398> of my bread <3899>, hath

lifted <1431> up [his] heel <6119> against <5921> me.

10 But thou, O LORD <3068>, be merciful <2603> unto me, and

raise <6965> me up, that I may requite <7999> them.

11 By this <2063> I know <3045> that thou favourest <2654> me,

because <3588> mine enemy <0341> doth not triumph <7321> over

<5921> me.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest <8551> me in mine integrity

<8537>, and settest <5324> me before thy face <6440> for ever

<5769>.

13 Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel

<3478> from everlasting <5769>, and to everlasting <5769>. Amen

<0543>, and Amen <0543>.

Psalms 42

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Maschil <7919>, for the sons

<1121> of Korah <7141>. As the hart <0354> panteth <6165> after

<5921> the water <4325> brooks <0650>, so <3651> panteth <6165>

my soul <5315> after <0413> thee, O God <0430>.

2 My soul <5315> thirsteth <6770> for God <0430>, for the

living <2416> God <0410>: when <4970> shall I come <0935> and

appear <7200> before <6440> God <0430>?

3 My tears <1832> have been <1961> my meat <3899> day <3119>

and night <3915>, while they continually say <0559> unto me,

Where <0346> [is] thy God <0430>?

4 When I remember <2142> these <0428> [things], I pour <8210>

out my soul <5315> in me: for I had gone <5674> with the

multitude <5519>, I went <1718> with them to the house <1004> of

God <0430>, with the voice <6963> of joy <7440> and praise

<8426>, with a multitude <1995> that kept <2287> holyday <2287>.

5 Why art thou cast <7817> down <7817>, O my soul <5315>? and

[why] art thou disquieted <1993> in me? hope <3176> thou in God

<0430>: for I shall yet <5750> praise <3034> him [for] the help

<3444> of his countenance <6440>.

6. O my God <0430>, my soul <5315> is cast <7817> down <7817>

within <5921> me: therefore will I remember <2142> thee from the

land <0776> of Jordan <3383>, and of the Hermonites <2769>, from

the hill <2022> Mizar <4706>.

7 Deep <8415> calleth <7121> unto deep <8415> at the noise

<6963> of thy waterspouts <6794>: all <3605> thy waves <4867>

and thy billows <1530> are gone <5674> over <5921> me.

8 [Yet] the LORD <3068> will command <6680> his lovingkindness

<2617> in the daytime, and in the night <3915> his song <7892>

[shall be] with me, [and] my prayer <8605> unto the God <0410>

of my life <2416>.

9 I will say <0559> unto God <0410> my rock <5553>, Why <4100>

hast thou forgotten <7911> me? why <4100> go <3212> I mourning

<6937> because of the oppression <3906> of the enemy <0341>?

10 [As] with a sword <7524> in my bones <6106>, mine enemies

<6887> reproach <2778> me; while they say <0559> daily unto me,

Where <0346> [is] thy God <0430>?

11 Why <4100> art thou cast <7817> down <7817>, O my soul

<5315>? and why <4100> art thou disquieted <1993> within <5921>

me? hope <3176> thou in God <0430>: for I shall yet <5750>

praise <3034> him, [who is] the health <3444> of my countenance

<6440>, and my God <0430>.

Psalms 43

1. Judge <8199> me, O God <0430>, and plead <7378> my cause

<7379> against an ungodly nation <1471>: O deliver <6403> me

from the deceitful <4820> and unjust <5766> man <0376>.

2 For thou [art] the God <0430> of my strength <4581>: why

<4100> dost thou cast <2186> me off? why <4100> go <1980> I

mourning <6937> because of the oppression <3906> of the enemy

<0341>?

3 O send <7971> out thy light <0216> and thy truth <0571>: let

them lead <5148> me; let them bring <0935> me unto thy holy

<6944> hill <2022>, and to thy tabernacles <4908>.

4 Then will I go <0935> unto the altar <4196> of God <0430>,

unto God <0410> my exceeding <8057> joy <1524>: yea, upon the

harp <3658> will I praise <3034> thee, O God <0430> my God

<0430>.

5 Why <4100> art thou cast <7817> down <7817>, O my soul

<5315>? and why <4100> art thou disquieted <1993> within <5921>

me? hope <3176> in God <0430>: for I shall yet <5750> praise

<3034> him, [who is] the health <3444> of my countenance <6440>,

and my God <0430>.

Psalms 44

1. To the chief Musician <5329> for the sons <1121> of Korah

<7141>, Maschil <7919>. We have heard <8085> with our ears

<0241>, O God <0430>, our fathers <1> have told <5608> us,

[what] work <6467> thou didst <6466> in their days <3117>, in

the times <3117> of old <6924>.

2 [How] thou didst drive <3423> out the heathen <1471> with thy

hand <3027>, and plantedst <5193> them; [how] thou didst afflict

<7489> the people <3816>, and cast <7971> them out.

3 For they got <3423> not the land <0776> in possession <3423>

by their own sword <2719>, neither <3808> did their own arm

<2220> save <3467> them: but thy right <3225> hand <3225>, and

thine arm <2220>, and the light <0216> of thy countenance <6440>,

because <3588> thou hadst a favour <7520> unto them.

4 Thou art my King <4428>, O God <0430>: command <6680>

deliverances <3444> for Jacob <3290>.

5 Through thee will we push <5055> down our enemies <6862>:

through thy name <8034> will we tread <0947> them under that

rise <6965> up against us.

6 For I will not trust <0982> in my bow <7198>, neither <3808>

shall my sword <2719> save <3467> me.

7 But thou hast saved <3467> us from our enemies <6862>, and

hast put them to shame <0954> that hated <8130> us.

8 In God <0430> we boast <1984> all <3605> the day <3117> long,

and praise <3034> thy name <8034> for ever <5769>. Selah <5542>.

9. But thou hast cast <2186> off, and put us to shame <3637>;

and goest <3318> not forth <3318> with our armies <6635>.

10 Thou makest us to turn <7725> back <0268> from the enemy

<6862>: and they which hate <8130> us spoil <8154> for

themselves.

11 Thou hast given <5414> us like sheep <6629> [appointed] for

meat <3978>; and hast scattered <2219> us among the heathen

<1471>.

12 Thou sellest <4376> thy people <5971> for nought, and dost

not increase <7235> [thy wealth] by their price <4242>.

13 Thou makest <6213> us a reproach <2781> to our neighbours

<7934>, a scorn <3933> and a derision <7047> to them that are

round <5439> about us.

14 Thou makest <6213> us a byword <4912> among the heathen

<1471>, a shaking <4493> of the head <7218> among the people

<3816>.

15 My confusion <3639> [is] continually before <5048> me, and

the shame <1322> of my face <6440> hath covered <3680> me,

16 For the voice <6963> of him that reproacheth <2778> and

blasphemeth <1442>; by reason <6440> of the enemy <0341> and

avenger <5358>.

17. All <3605> this <2063> is come <0935> upon us; yet have we

not forgotten <7911> thee, neither <3808> have we dealt falsely

<8266> in thy covenant <1285>.

18 Our heart <3820> is not turned <5472> back <0268>, neither

have our steps <0838> declined <5186> from thy way <0734>;

19 Though <3588> thou hast sore broken <1794> us in the place

<4725> of dragons <8577>, and covered <3680> us with the shadow

<6757> of death <6757>.

20 If <0518> we have forgotten <7911> the name <8034> of our

God <0430>, or stretched <6566> out our hands <3709> to a

strange <2114> god <0430>;

21 Shall not God <0430> search <2713> this <2063> out? for he

knoweth <3045> the secrets <8587> of the heart <3820>.

22 Yea <3588>, for thy sake are we killed <2026> all <3605> the

day <3117> long; we are counted <2803> as sheep <6629> for the

slaughter <2878>.

23 Awake <5782>, why <4100> sleepest <3462> thou, O Lord

<0136>? arise <6974>, cast <2186> [us] not off for ever <5331>.

24 Wherefore <4100> hidest <5641> thou thy face <6440>, [and]

forgettest <7911> our affliction <6040> and our oppression

<3906>?

25 For our soul <5315> is bowed <7743> down <7743> to the dust

<6083>: our belly <0990> cleaveth <1692> unto the earth <0776>.

26 Arise <6965> for our help <5833>, and redeem <6299> us for

thy mercies <2617>' sake <4616>.

Psalms 45

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Shoshannim <7799>, for the

sons <1121> of Korah <7141>, Maschil <7919>, A Song <7892> of

loves <3039>. My heart <3820> is inditing <7370> a good <2896>

matter <1697>: I speak <0559> of the things which I have made

<4639> touching the king <4428>: my tongue <3956> [is] the pen

<5842> of a ready <4106> writer <5608>.

2 Thou art fairer <3302> than the children <1121> of men <0120>:

grace <2580> is poured <3332> into thy lips <8193>: therefore

God <0430> hath blessed <1288> thee for ever <5769>.

3 Gird <2296> thy sword <2719> upon [thy] thigh <3409>, O

[most] mighty <1368>, with thy glory <1935> and thy majesty

<1926>.

4 And in thy majesty <1926> ride <7392> prosperously <6743>

because of truth <0571> and meekness <6037> [and] righteousness

<6664>; and thy right <3225> hand <3225> shall teach <3384> thee

terrible <3372> things.

5 Thine arrows <2671> [are] sharp <8150> in the heart <3820> of

the king's <4428> enemies <0341>; [whereby] the people <5971>

fall <5307> under <8478> thee.

6. Thy throne <3678>, O God <0430>, [is] for ever <5769> and

ever <5703>: the sceptre <7626> of thy kingdom <4438> [is] a

right <4334> sceptre <7626>.

7 Thou lovest <0157> righteousness <6664>, and hatest <8130>

wickedness <7562>: therefore God <0430>, thy God <0430>, hath

anointed <4886> thee with the oil <8081> of gladness <8342>

above thy fellows <2270>.

8 All <3605> thy garments <0899> [smell] of myrrh <4753>, and

aloes <0174>, [and] cassia <7102>, out of the ivory <8127>

palaces <1964>, whereby <4482> they have made thee glad <8056>.

9 Kings <4428>' daughters <1121> [were] among thy honourable

<3368> women: upon thy right <3225> hand <3225> did stand <5324>

the queen <7694> in gold <3800> of Ophir <0211>.

10. Hearken <8085>, O daughter <1323>, and consider <7200>, and

incline <5186> thine ear <0241>; forget <7911> also thine own

people <5971>, and thy father's <1> house <1004>;

11 So shall the king <4428> greatly desire <0183> thy beauty

<3308>: for he [is] thy Lord <0113>; and worship <7812> thou him.

12 And the daughter <1323> of Tyre <6865> [shall be there] with

a gift <4503>; [even] the rich <6223> among the people <5971>

shall intreat <2470> thy favour <6440>.

13 The king's <4428> daughter <1323> [is] all <3605> glorious

<3520> within <6441>: her clothing <3830> [is] of wrought <4865>

gold <2091>.

14 She shall be brought <2986> unto the king <4428> in raiment

<7553> of needlework <7553>: the virgins <1330> her companions

<7464> that follow <0310> her shall be brought <0935> unto thee.

15 With gladness <8057> and rejoicing <1524> shall they be

brought <2986>: they shall enter <0935> into the king's <4428>

palace <1964>.

16 Instead <8478> of thy fathers <1> shall be thy children

<1121>, whom thou mayest make princes <8269> in all <3605> the

earth <0776>.

17 I will make thy name <8034> to be remembered <2142> in all

<3605> generations <1755>: therefore shall the people <5971>

praise <3034> thee for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

Psalms 46

1. To the chief Musician <5329> for the sons <1121> of Korah

<7141>, A Song <7892> upon Alamoth <5921> <5961>. God <0430>

[is] our refuge <4268> and strength <5797>, a very <3966>

present <4672> help <5833> in trouble <6869>.

2 Therefore will not we fear <3372>, though the earth <0776> be

removed <4171>, and though the mountains <2022> be carried

<4131> into the midst <3820> of the sea <3220>;

3 [Though] the waters <4325> thereof roar <1993> [and] be

troubled <2560>, [though] the mountains <2022> shake <7493> with

the swelling <1346> thereof. Selah <5542>.

4 [There is] a river <5104>, the streams <6388> whereof shall

make glad <8056> the city <5892> of God <0430>, the holy <6918>

[place] of the tabernacles <4908> of the most <5945> High <5945>.

5 God <0430> [is] in the midst <7130> of her; she shall not be

moved <4131>: God <0430> shall help <5826> her, [and that] right

<6437> early <1242>.

6. The heathen <1471> raged <1993>, the kingdoms <4467> were

moved <4131>: he uttered <5414> his voice <6963>, the earth

<0776> melted <4127>.

7 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] with us; the God <0430>

of Jacob <3290> [is] our refuge <4869>. Selah <5542>.

8 Come <3212>, behold <2372> the works <4659> of the LORD

<3068>, what <0834> desolations <8047> he hath made <7760> in

the earth <0776>.

9 He maketh wars <4421> to cease <7673> unto the end <7097> of

the earth <0776>; he breaketh <7665> the bow <7198>, and cutteth

<7112> the spear <2595> in sunder; he burneth <8313> the chariot

<5699> in the fire <0784>.

10 Be still <7503>, and know <3045> that I [am] God <0430>: I

will be exalted <7311> among the heathen <1471>, I will be

exalted <7311> in the earth <0776>.

11 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] with us; the God <0430>

of Jacob <3290> [is] our refuge <4869>. Selah <5542>.

Psalms 47

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> for the sons

<1121> of Korah <7141>. O clap <8628> your hands <3709>, all

<3605> ye people <5971>; shout <7321> unto God <0430> with the

voice <6963> of triumph <7440>.

2 For the LORD <3068> most <5945> high <5945> [is] terrible

<3372>; [he is] a great <1419> King <4428> over <5921> all

<3605> the earth <0776>.

3 He shall subdue <1696> the people <5971> under <8478> us, and

the nations <3816> under <8478> our feet <7272>.

4 He shall choose <0977> our inheritance <5159> for us, the

excellency <1347> of Jacob <3290> whom <0834> he loved <0157>.

Selah <5542>.

5. God <0430> is gone <5927> up with a shout <8643>, the LORD

<3068> with the sound <6963> of a trumpet <7782>.

6 Sing <2167> praises to God <0430>, sing <2167> praises: sing

<2167> praises unto our King <4428>, sing <2167> praises.

7 For God <0430> [is] the King <4428> of all <3605> the earth

<0776>: sing <2167> ye praises with understanding <7919>.

8 God <0430> reigneth <4427> over <5921> the heathen <1471>:

God <0430> sitteth <3427> upon the throne <3678> of his holiness

<6944>.

9 The princes <5081> of the people <5971> are gathered <0622>

together <3162>, [even] the people <5971> of the God <0430> of

Abraham <85>: for the shields <4043> of the earth <0776>

[belong] unto God <0430>: he is greatly <3966> exalted <5927>.

Psalms 48

1. A Song <7892> [and] Psalm <4210> for the sons <1121> of

Korah <7141>. Great <1419> [is] the LORD <3068>, and greatly

<3966> to be praised <1984> in the city <5892> of our God <0430>,

[in] the mountain <2022> of his holiness <6944>.

2 Beautiful <3303> for situation <5131>, the joy <4885> of the

whole <3605> earth <0776>, [is] mount <2022> Zion <6726>, [on]

the sides <3411> of the north <6828>, the city <7151> of the

great <7227> King <4428>.

3 God <0430> is known <3045> in her palaces <0759> for a refuge

<4869>.

4 For, lo <2009>, the kings <4428> were assembled <3259>, they

passed <5674> by together <3162>.

5 They saw <7200> [it, and] so <3651> they marvelled <8539>;

they were troubled <0926>, [and] hasted <2648> away.

6 Fear <7461> took hold <0270> upon them there <8033>, [and]

pain <2427>, as of a woman in travail <3205>.

7 Thou breakest <7665> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659> with

an east <6921> wind <7307>.

8. As we have heard <8085>, so <3651> have we seen <7200> in

the city <5892> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, in the city

<5892> of our God <0430>: God <0430> will establish <3559> it

for ever <5769>. Selah <5542>.

9 We have thought <1819> of thy lovingkindness <2617>, O God

<0430>, in the midst <7130> of thy temple <1964>.

10 According to thy name <8034>, O God <0430>, so <3651> [is]

thy praise <8416> unto the ends <7099> of the earth <0776>: thy

right <3225> hand <3225> is full <4390> of righteousness <6664>.

11 Let mount <2022> Zion <6726> rejoice <8055>, let the

daughters <1121> of Judah <3063> be glad <1528>, because <4616>

of thy judgments <4941>.

12 Walk <5437> about <5439> Zion <6726>, and go <5362> round

<5362> about <5439> her: tell <5608> the towers <4026> thereof.

13 Mark <7896> ye well her bulwarks <2430>, consider <6448> her

palaces <0759>; that ye may tell <5608> [it] to the generation

<1755> following <0314>.

14 For this <2088> God <0430> [is] our God <0430> for ever

<5769> and ever <5703>: he will be our guide <5090> [even] unto

death <4192>.

Psalms 49

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> for the sons

<1121> of Korah <7141>. Hear <8085> this <2063>, all <3605> [ye]

people <5971>; give ear <0238>, all <3605> [ye] inhabitants

<3427> of the world <2465>:

2 Both <1571> low <0120> and high <0376>, rich <6223> and poor

<34>, together <3162>.

3 My mouth <6310> shall speak <1696> of wisdom <2454>; and the

meditation <1900> of my heart <3820> [shall be] of understanding

<8394>.

4 I will incline <5186> mine ear <0241> to a parable <4912>: I

will open <6605> my dark <2420> saying <2420> upon the harp

<3658>.

5 Wherefore <4100> should I fear <3372> in the days <3117> of

evil <7451>, [when] the iniquity <5771> of my heels <6120> shall

compass <5437> me about?

6. They that trust <0982> in their wealth <2428>, and boast

<1984> themselves in the multitude <7230> of their riches <6239>;

7 None [of them] can by any means redeem <6299> his brother

<0251>, nor <3808> give <5414> to God <0430> a ransom <3724> for

him:

8 (For the redemption <6306> of their soul <5315> [is] precious

<3365>, and it ceaseth <2308> for ever <5769>:)

9 That he should still <5750> live <2421> for ever <5331>,

[and] not see <7200> corruption <7845>.

10 For he seeth <7200> [that] wise <2450> men die <4191>,

likewise the fool <3684> and the brutish <1197> person perish

<6>, and leave <5800> their wealth <2428> to others <0312>.

11 Their inward <7130> thought [is, that] their houses <1004>

[shall continue] for ever <5769>, [and] their dwelling <4908>

places to all generations <1755>; they call <7121> [their] lands

<0127> after their own names <8034>.

12 Nevertheless man <0120> [being] in honour <3366> abideth

<3885> not: he is like <4911> the beasts <0929> [that] perish

<1820>.

13 This <2088> their way <1870> [is] their folly <3689>: yet

their posterity <0310> approve <7520> their sayings <6310>.

Selah <5542>.

14 Like sheep <6629> they are laid <8371> in the grave <7585>;

death <4194> shall feed <7462> on them; and the upright <3477>

shall have dominion <7287> over them in the morning <1242>; and

their beauty <6736> shall consume <1086> in the grave <7585>

from their dwelling <2073>.

15. But God <0430> will redeem <6299> my soul <5315> from the

power <3027> of the grave <7585>: for he shall receive <3947> me.

Selah <5542>.

16 Be not thou afraid <3372> when <3588> one <0376> is made

rich <6238>, when <3588> the glory <3519> of his house <1004> is

increased <7235>;

17 For when <3588> he dieth <4194> he shall carry <3947>

nothing away: his glory <3519> shall not descend <3381> after

<0310> him.

18 Though <3588> while he lived <2416> he blessed <1288> his

soul <5315>: and [men] will praise <3034> thee, when <3588> thou

doest well <3190> to thyself.

19 He shall go <0935> to the generation <1755> of his fathers

<1>; they shall never see <7200> light <0216>.

20 Man <0120> [that is] in honour <3366>, and understandeth

<0995> not, is like <4711> the beasts <0929> [that] perish

<1820>.

Psalms 50

1. A Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. The mighty <0410> God <0430>,

[even] the LORD <3068>, hath spoken <1696>, and called <7121>

the earth <0776> from the rising <4217> of the sun <8121> unto

the going <3996> down thereof.

2 Out of Zion <6726>, the perfection <4359> of beauty <3308>,

God <0430> hath shined <3313>.

3 Our God <0430> shall come <0935>, and shall not keep silence

<2790>: a fire <0784> shall devour <0398> before <6440> him, and

it shall be very <3966> tempestuous <8175> round <5439> about

him.

4 He shall call <7121> to the heavens <8064> from above <5921>,

and to the earth <0776>, that he may judge <1777> his people

<2992>.

5 Gather <0622> my saints <2623> together unto me; those that

have made <3772> a covenant <1285> with me by sacrifice <2077>.

6 And the heavens <8064> shall declare <5046> his righteousness

<6664>: for God <0430> [is] judge <8199> himself <1931>. Selah

<5542>.

7. Hear <8085>, O my people <5971>, and I will speak <1696>; O

Israel <3478>, and I will testify <5749> against thee: I [am]

God <0430>, [even] thy God <0430>.

8 I will not reprove <3198> thee for thy sacrifices <2077> or

thy burnt <5930> offerings, [to have been] continually <8548>

before <5048> me.

9 I will take <3947> no <3808> bullock <6499> out of thy house

<1004>, [nor] he goats <6260> out of thy folds <4356>.

10 For every <3605> beast <2416> of the forest <3293> [is] mine,

[and] the cattle <0929> upon a thousand <0505> hills <2042>.

11 I know <3045> all <3605> the fowls <5775> of the mountains

<2022>: and the wild <2123> beasts <2123> of the field <7704>

[are] mine <5978>.

12 If <0518> I were hungry <7456>, I would not tell <0559> thee:

for the world <8398> [is] mine, and the fulness <4393> thereof.

13 Will I eat <0398> the flesh <1320> of bulls <47>, or drink

<8354> the blood <1818> of goats <6260>?

14 Offer <2076> unto God <0430> thanksgiving <8426>; and pay

<7999> thy vows <5088> unto the most <5945> High <5945>:

15 And call <7121> upon me in the day <3117> of trouble <6869>:

I will deliver <2502> thee, and thou shalt glorify <3513> me.

16. But unto the wicked <7563> God <0430> saith <0559>, What

<4100> hast thou to do to declare <5608> my statutes <2706>, or

[that] thou shouldest take <5375> my covenant <1285> in thy

mouth <6310>?

17 Seeing thou hatest <8130> instruction <4148>, and castest

<7993> my words <1697> behind <0310> thee.

18 When <0518> thou sawest <7200> a thief <1590>, then thou

consentedst <7521> with him, and hast been partaker <2506> with

adulterers <5003>.

19 Thou givest <7971> thy mouth <6310> to evil <7451>, and thy

tongue <3956> frameth <6775> deceit <4820>.

20 Thou sittest <3427> [and] speakest <1696> against thy

brother <0251>; thou slanderest thine own mother's <0517> son

<1121>.

21 These <0428> [things] hast thou done <6213>, and I kept

<2790> silence <2790>; thou thoughtest <1819> that I was

altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove <3198>

thee, and set [them] in order <6186> before thine eyes <5869>.

22 Now <4994> consider <0995> this <2063>, ye that forget

<7911> God <0433>, lest <6435> I tear <2963> [you] in pieces,

and [there be] none <0369> to deliver <5337>.

23 Whoso offereth <2076> praise <8426> glorifieth <3513> me:

and to him that ordereth <7760> [his] conversation <1870>

[aright] will I shew <7200> the salvation <3468> of God <0430>.

Psalms 51

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>,

when Nathan <5416> the prophet <5030> came <0935> unto him,

after he had gone <0935> in to Bathsheba <1339>. Have mercy

<2603> upon me, O God <0430>, according to thy lovingkindness

<2617>: according unto the multitude <7230> of thy tender

mercies <7356> blot <4229> out my transgressions <6588>.

2 Wash <3526> me throughly <7235> from mine iniquity <5771>,

and cleanse <5352> me from my sin <2403>.

3 For I acknowledge <3045> my transgressions <6588>: and my sin

<2403> [is] ever <8548> before <5048> me.

4 Against thee, thee only <0905>, have I sinned <2398>, and

done <6213> [this] evil <7451> in thy sight <5869>: that thou

mightest be justified <6663> when thou speakest <1696>, [and] be

clear <2135> when thou judgest <8199>.

5 Behold <2005>, I was shapen <2342> in iniquity <5771>; and in

sin <2399> did my mother <0517> conceive <3179> me.

6 Behold <2005>, thou desirest <2654> truth <0571> in the

inward <2910> parts: and in the hidden <5640> [part] thou shalt

make me to know <3045> wisdom <2451>.

7. Purge <2398> me with hyssop <0231>, and I shall be clean

<2891>: wash <3526> me, and I shall be whiter <3835> than snow

<7950>.

8 Make me to hear <8085> joy <8342> and gladness <8057>; [that]

the bones <6106> [which] thou hast broken <1794> may rejoice

<1523>.

9 Hide <5641> thy face <6440> from my sins <2399>, and blot

<4229> out all <3605> mine iniquities <5771>.

10 Create <1254> in me a clean <2889> heart <3820>, O God

<0430>; and renew <2318> a right <3559> spirit <7307> within

<7130> me.

11 Cast <7993> me not away from thy presence <6440>; and take

<3947> not thy holy <6944> spirit <7307> from me.

12 Restore <7725> unto me the joy <8342> of thy salvation

<3468>; and uphold <5564> me [with thy] free <5082> spirit

<7307>.

13 [Then] will I teach <3925> transgressors <6586> thy ways

<1870>; and sinners <2400> shall be converted <7725> unto thee.

14. Deliver <5337> me from bloodguiltiness <1818>, O God <0430>,

thou God <0430> of my salvation <8668>: [and] my tongue <3956>

shall sing <7442> aloud <7442> of thy righteousness <6666>.

15 O Lord <0136>, open <6605> thou my lips <8193>; and my mouth

<6310> shall shew <5046> forth thy praise <8416>.

16 For thou desirest <2654> not sacrifice <2077>; else would I

give <5414> [it]: thou delightest <7521> not in burnt <5930>

offering.

17 The sacrifices <2077> of God <0430> [are] a broken <7665>

spirit <7307>: a broken <7665> and a contrite <1794> heart

<3820>, O God <0430>, thou wilt not despise <0959>.

18 Do good <3190> in thy good pleasure <7522> unto Zion <6726>:

build <1129> thou the walls <2346> of Jerusalem <3389>.

19 Then <0227> shalt thou be pleased <2654> with the sacrifices

<2077> of righteousness <6664>, with burnt <5930> offering and

whole <3632> burnt <5930> offering: then <0227> shall they offer

<5927> bullocks <6499> upon thine altar <4196>.

Psalms 52

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Maschil <7919>, [A Psalm] of

David <1732>, when Doeg <1673> the Edomite <0130> came <0935>

and told <5046> Saul <7586>, and said <0559> unto him, David

<1732> is come <0935> to the house <1004> of Ahimelech <0288>.

Why <4100> boastest <1984> thou thyself in mischief <7451>, O

mighty <1368> man? the goodness <2617> of God <0410> [endureth]

continually.

2 Thy tongue <3956> deviseth <2803> mischiefs <1942>; like a

sharp <3913> razor <8593>, working <6213> deceitfully <7423>.

3 Thou lovest <0157> evil <7451> more than good <2896>; [and]

lying <8267> rather than to speak <1696> righteousness <6664>.

Selah <5542>.

4 Thou lovest <0157> all <3605> devouring <1105> words <1697>,

O [thou] deceitful <4820> tongue <3956>.

5 God <0410> shall likewise <1571> destroy <5422> thee for ever

<5331>, he shall take <2846> thee away <2846>, and pluck <5255>

thee out of [thy] dwelling <0168> place, and root <8327> thee

out of the land <0776> of the living <2416>. Selah <5542>.

6. The righteous <6662> also shall see <7200>, and fear <3372>,

and shall laugh <7832> at <5921> him:

7 Lo <2009>, [this is] the man <1397> [that] made <7760> not

God <0430> his strength <4581>; but trusted <0982> in the

abundance <7230> of his riches <6239>, [and] strengthened <5810>

himself in his wickedness <1942>.

8 But I [am] like a green <7488> olive <2132> tree in the house

<1004> of God <0430>: I trust <0982> in the mercy <2617> of God

<0430> for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

9 I will praise <3034> thee for ever <5769>, because <3588>

thou hast done <6213> [it]: and I will wait <6960> on thy name

<8034>; for [it is] good <2896> before <5048> thy saints <2623>.

Psalms 53

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Mahalath <4257>,

Maschil <7919>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>. The fool <5036> hath

said <0559> in his heart <3820>, [There is] no <0369> God <0430>.

Corrupt <7843> are they, and have done abominable <8581>

iniquity <5766>: [there is] none <0369> that doeth <6213> good

<2896>.

2 God <0430> looked <8259> down from heaven <8064> upon the

children <1121> of men <0120>, to see <7200> if there were [any]

that did understand <7919>, that did seek <1875> God <0430>.

3 Every <3605> one of them is gone <5472> back <5472>: they are

altogether <3162> become <0444> filthy <0444>; [there is] none

<0369> that doeth <6213> good <2896>, no, not one <0259>.

4 Have the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205> no <3808>

knowledge <3045>? who eat <0398> up my people <5971> [as] they

eat <0398> bread <3899>: they have not called <7121> upon God

<0430>.

5 There <8033> were they in great fear <6343>, [where] no

<3808> fear <6343> was: for God <0430> hath scattered <6340> the

bones <6106> of him that encampeth <2583> [against] thee: thou

hast put [them] to shame <0954>, because <3588> God <0430> hath

despised <3988> them.

6 Oh that the salvation <3444> of Israel <3478> [were come] out

of Zion <6726>! When God <0430> bringeth <7725> back <7725> the

captivity <7622> of his people <5971>, Jacob <3290> shall

rejoice <1523>, [and] Israel <3478> shall be glad <8056>.

Psalms 54

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058>, Maschil

<7919>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>, when the Ziphims <2130> came

<0935> and said <0559> to Saul <7586>, Doth not David <1732>

hide <5640> himself with us? Save <3467> me, O God <0430>, by

thy name <8034>, and judge <1777> me by thy strength <1369>.

2 Hear <8085> my prayer <8605>, O God <0430>; give ear <0238>

to the words <0561> of my mouth <6310>.

3 For strangers <2114> are risen <6965> up against <5921> me,

and oppressors <6184> seek <1245> after my soul <5315>: they

have not set <7760> God <0430> before <5048> them. Selah <5542>.

4. Behold <2009>, God <0430> [is] mine helper <5826>: the Lord

<0136> [is] with them that uphold <5564> my soul <5315>.

5 He shall reward <7725> evil <7451> unto mine enemies <8324>:

cut <6789> them off in thy truth <0571>.

6 I will freely <5071> sacrifice <2076> unto thee: I will

praise <3034> thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068>; for [it is] good

<2896>.

7 For he hath delivered <5337> me out of all <3605> trouble

<6869>: and mine eye <5869> hath seen <7200> [his desire] upon

mine enemies <0341>.

Psalms 55

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058>, Maschil

<7919>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Give ear <0238> to my prayer

<8605>, O God <0430>; and hide <5956> not thyself from my

supplication <8467>.

2 Attend <7181> unto me, and hear <6030> me: I mourn <7300> in

my complaint <7878>, and make a noise <1949>;

3 Because of the voice <6963> of the enemy <0341>, because

<6440> of the oppression <6125> of the wicked <7563>: for they

cast <4131> iniquity <0205> upon me, and in wrath <0639> they

hate <7852> me.

4 My heart <3820> is sore pained <2342> within <7130> me: and

the terrors <0367> of death <4194> are fallen <5307> upon me.

5 Fearfulness <3374> and trembling <7460> are come <0935> upon

me, and horror <6427> hath overwhelmed <3680> me.

6 And I said <0559>, Oh that I had wings <83> like a dove

<3123>! [for then] would I fly <5774> away, and be at rest

<7931>.

7 Lo <2009>, [then] would I wander <5074> far <7368> off, [and]

remain <3885> in the wilderness <4057>. Selah <5542>.

8 I would hasten <2363> my escape <4655> from the windy <7307>

storm <5584> [and] tempest <5591>.

9. Destroy <1104>, O Lord <0136>, [and] divide <6385> their

tongues <3956>: for I have seen <7200> violence <2555> and

strife <7379> in the city <5892>.

10 Day <3119> and night <3915> they go <5437> about <5437> it

upon the walls <2346> thereof: mischief <0205> also and sorrow

<5999> [are] in the midst <7130> of it.

11 Wickedness <1942> [is] in the midst <7130> thereof: deceit

<8496> and guile <4820> depart <4185> not from her streets

<7339>.

12 For [it was] not an enemy <0341> [that] reproached <2778> me;

then I could have borne <5375> [it]: neither <3808> [was it] he

that hated <8130> me [that] did magnify <1431> [himself] against

<5921> me; then I would have hid <5641> myself from him:

13 But [it was] thou, a man <0582> mine equal <6187>, my guide

<0441>, and mine acquaintance <3045>.

14 We took sweet <4985> counsel <5475> together <3162>, [and]

walked <1980> unto the house <1004> of God <0430> in company

<7285>.

15 Let death <4194> seize <3451> upon them, [and] let them go

<3381> down <3381> quick <2416> into hell <7585>: for wickedness

<7451> [is] in their dwellings <4033>, [and] among <7130> them.

16. As for me, I will call <7121> upon God <0430>; and the LORD

<3068> shall save <3467> me.

17 Evening <6153>, and morning <1242>, and at noon <6672>, will

I pray <7878>, and cry <1993> aloud <1993>: and he shall hear

<8085> my voice <6963>.

18 He hath delivered <6299> my soul <5315> in peace <7965> from

the battle <7128> [that was] against me: for there were many

<7227> with me.

19 God <0410> shall hear <8085>, and afflict <6031> them, even

he that abideth <3427> of old <6924>. Selah <5542>. Because

<0834> they have no <0369> changes <2487>, therefore they fear

<3372> not God <0430>.

20 He hath put <7971> forth <7971> his hands <3027> against

such as be at peace <7965> with him: he hath broken <2490> his

covenant <1285>.

21 [The words] of his mouth <6310> were smoother <2505> than

butter <4260>, but war <7128> [was] in his heart <3820>: his

words <1697> were softer <7401> than oil <8081>, yet [were] they

drawn <6609> swords <6609>.

22 Cast <7993> thy burden <3053> upon the LORD <3068>, and he

shall sustain <3557> thee: he shall never suffer <5414> the

righteous <6662> to be moved <4131>.

23 But thou, O God <0430>, shalt bring <3381> them down <3381>

into the pit <0875> of destruction <7845>: bloody <1818> and

deceitful <4820> men <0582> shall not live out half <2673> their

days <3117>; but I will trust <0982> in thee.

Psalms 56

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Jonathelemrechokim <3128>

<0482> <7350>, Michtam <4387> of David <1732>, when the

Philistines <6430> took <0270> him in Gath <1661>. Be merciful

<2603> unto me, O God <0430>: for man <0582> would swallow

<7602> me up; he fighting <3898> daily oppresseth <3905> me.

2 Mine enemies <8324> would daily swallow <7602> [me] up: for

[they be] many <7227> that fight <3898> against me, O thou most

<4971> High <4791>.

3 What time <3117> I am afraid <3372>, I will trust <0982> in

thee.

4 In God <0430> I will praise <1984> his word <1697>, in God

<0430> I have put my trust <0982>; I will not fear <3372> what

<4100> flesh <1320> can do <6213> unto me.

5 Every <3605> day <3117> they wrest <6087> my words <1697>:

all <3605> their thoughts <4284> [are] against <5921> me for

evil <7451>.

6 They gather <1481> themselves together, they hide <6845>

themselves, they mark <8104> my steps <6119>, when <0834> they

wait <6960> for my soul <5315>.

7 Shall they escape <6405> by iniquity <0205>? in [thine] anger

<0639> cast <3381> down the people <5971>, O God <0430>.

8. Thou tellest <5608> my wanderings <5112>: put <5414> thou my

tears <1832> into thy bottle <4997>: [are they] not in thy book

<5612>?

9 When I cry <7121> [unto thee], then <0227> shall mine enemies

<0341> turn <7725> back <0268>: this <2088> I know <3045>; for

God <0430> [is] for me.

10 In God <0430> will I praise <1984> [his] word <1697>: in the

LORD <3068> will I praise <1984> [his] word <1697>.

11 In God <0430> have I put my trust <0982>: I will not be

afraid <3372> what <4100> man <0120> can do <6213> unto me.

12 Thy vows <5088> [are] upon me, O God <0430>: I will render

<7999> praises <8426> unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered <5337> my soul <5315> from death

<4194>: [wilt] not [thou deliver <5337>] my feet <7272> from

falling <1762>, that I may walk <1980> before <6440> God <0430>

in the light <0216> of the living <2416>?

Psalms 57

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Altaschith <0408> <7843>,

Michtam <4387> of David <1732>, when he fled <1272> from Saul

<6440> <7586> in the cave <4631>. Be merciful <2603> unto me, O

God <0430>, be merciful <2603> unto me: for my soul <5315>

trusteth <2620> in thee: yea, in the shadow <6738> of thy wings

<3671> will I make my refuge <2620>, until <5704> [these]

calamities <1942> be overpast <5674>.

2 I will cry <7121> unto God <0430> most <5945> high <5945>;

unto God <0410> that performeth <1584> [all things] for me.

3 He shall send <7971> from heaven <8064>, and save <3467> me

[from] the reproach <2778> of him that would swallow <7602> me

up. Selah <5542>. God <0430> shall send <7971> forth his mercy

<2617> and his truth <0571>.

4 My soul <5315> [is] among <8432> lions <3833>: [and] I lie

<7901> [even among] them that are set on fire <3857>, [even] the

sons <1121> of men <0120>, whose teeth <8127> [are] spears

<2595> and arrows <2671>, and their tongue <3956> a sharp <2299>

sword <2719>.

5 Be thou exalted <7311>, O God <0430>, above <5921> the

heavens <8064>; [let] thy glory <3519> [be] above <5921> all

<3605> the earth <0776>.

6 They have prepared <3559> a net <7568> for my steps <6471>;

my soul <5315> is bowed <3721> down: they have digged <3738> a

pit <7882> before <6440> me, into the midst <8432> whereof they

are fallen <5307> [themselves]. Selah <5542>.

7. My heart <3820> is fixed <3559>, O God <0430>, my heart

<3820> is fixed <3559>: I will sing <7891> and give praise

<2167>.

8 Awake <5782> up, my glory <3519>; awake <5782>, psaltery

<5035> and harp <3658>: I [myself] will awake <5782> early

<7837>.

9 I will praise <3034> thee, O Lord <0136>, among the people

<5971>: I will sing <2167> unto thee among the nations <3816>.

10 For thy mercy <2617> [is] great <1419> unto the heavens

<8064>, and thy truth <0571> unto the clouds <7834>.

11 Be thou exalted <7311>, O God <0430>, above <5921> the

heavens <8064>: [let] thy glory <3519> [be] above <5921> all

<3605> the earth <0776>.

Psalms 58

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Altaschith <0408> <7843>,

Michtam <4387> of David <1732>. Do ye indeed <0552> speak <1696>

righteousness <6664>, O congregation <0482>? do ye judge <8199>

uprightly <4339>, O ye sons <1121> of men <0120>?

2 Yea <0637>, in heart <3820> ye work <6466> wickedness <5766>;

ye weigh <6424> the violence <2555> of your hands <3027> in the

earth <0776>.

3 The wicked <7563> are estranged <2114> from the womb <7358>:

they go <8582> astray <8582> as soon as they be born <0990>,

speaking <1696> lies <3576>.

4 Their poison <2534> [is] like <1823> the poison <2534> of a

serpent <5175>: [they are] like <3644> the deaf <2795> adder

<6620> [that] stoppeth <0331> her ear <0241>;

5 Which <0834> will not hearken <8085> to the voice <6963> of

charmers <3907>, charming never so wisely <2449>.

6. Break <2040> their teeth <8127>, O God <0430>, in their

mouth <6310>: break <5422> out the great <4459> teeth <4973> of

the young <3715> lions <3715>, O LORD <3068>.

7 Let them melt <3988> away as waters <4325> [which] run <1980>

continually: [when] he bendeth <1869> [his bow to shoot] his

arrows <2671>, let them be as cut <4135> in pieces.

8 As a snail <7642> [which] melteth <8557>, let [every one of

them] pass <1980> away: [like] the untimely <5309> birth <5309>

of a woman <0802>, [that] they may not see <2372> the sun <8121>.

9 Before <2962> your pots <5518> can feel <0995> the thorns

<0329>, he shall take <8175> them away as with a whirlwind

<8175>, both living <2416>, and in [his] wrath <2740>.

10 The righteous <6662> shall rejoice <8055> when <3588> he

seeth <2372> the vengeance <5359>: he shall wash <7364> his feet

<6471> in the blood <1818> of the wicked <7563>.

11 So that a man <0120> shall say <0559>, Verily <0389> [there

is] a reward <6529> for the righteous <6662>: verily <0389> he

is a God <0430> that judgeth <8199> in the earth <0776>.

Psalms 59

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Altaschith <0408> <7843>,

Michtam <4387> of David <1732>; when Saul <7586> sent <7971>,

and they watched <8104> the house <1004> to kill him <4191>.

Deliver <5337> me from mine enemies <0341>, O my God <0430>:

defend <7682> me from them that rise <6965> up against me.

2 Deliver <5337> me from the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>,

and save <3467> me from bloody <1818> men <0582>.

3 For, lo <2009>, they lie in wait <0693> for my soul <5315>:

the mighty <5794> are gathered <1481> against <5921> me; not

[for] my transgression <6588>, nor <3808> [for] my sin <2403>, O

LORD <3068>.

4 They run <7323> and prepare <3559> themselves without [my]

fault <5771>: awake <5782> to help <7125> me, and behold <7200>.

5 Thou therefore, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the

God <0430> of Israel <3478>, awake <6974> to visit <6485> all

<3605> the heathen <1471>: be not merciful <2603> to any <3605>

wicked <0205> transgressors <0898>. Selah <5542>.

6 They return <7725> at evening <6153>: they make a noise

<1993> like a dog <3611>, and go <5437> round <5437> about the

city <5892>.

7 Behold <2009>, they belch <5042> out with their mouth <6310>:

swords <2719> [are] in their lips <8193>: for who <4310>, [say

they], doth hear <8085>?

8. But thou, O LORD <3068>, shalt laugh <7832> at them; thou

shalt have all <3605> the heathen <1471> in derision <3932>.

9 [Because of] his strength <5797> will I wait <8104> upon thee:

for God <0430> [is] my defence <4869>.

10 The God <0430> of my mercy <2617> shall prevent <6923> me:

God <0430> shall let me see <7200> [my desire] upon mine enemies

<8324>.

11 Slay <2026> them not, lest <6435> my people <5971> forget

<7911>: scatter <5128> them by thy power <2428>; and bring

<3381> them down <3381>, O Lord <0136> our shield <4043>.

12 [For] the sin <2403> of their mouth <6310> [and] the words

<1697> of their lips <8193> let them even be taken <3920> in

their pride <1347>: and for cursing <0423> and lying <3585>

[which] they speak <5608>.

13 Consume <3615> [them] in wrath <2534>, consume <3615> [them],

that they [may] not [be]: and let them know <3045> that God

<0430> ruleth <4910> in Jacob <3290> unto the ends <0657> of the

earth <0776>. Selah <5542>.

14 And at evening <6153> let them return <7725>; [and] let them

make a noise <1993> like a dog <3611>, and go <5437> round

<5439> about the city <5892>.

15 Let them wander <5128> up and down for meat <0398>, and

grudge <3885> if <0518> they be not satisfied <7646>.

16 But I will sing <7891> of thy power <5797>; yea, I will sing

<7442> aloud <7442> of thy mercy <2617> in the morning <1242>:

for thou hast been <1961> my defence <4869> and refuge <4498> in

the day <3117> of my trouble <6862>.

17 Unto thee, O my strength <5797>, will I sing <2167>: for God

<0430> [is] my defence <4869>, [and] the God <0430> of my mercy

<2617>.

Psalms 60

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Shushaneduth <7799>

<5715>, Michtam <4387> of David <1732>, to teach <3925>; when he

strove <5327> with Aramnaharaim <0763> <5104> and with Aramzobah

<0758> <6678>, when Joab <3097> returned <7725>, and smote

<5221> of Edom <0123> in the valley <1516> of salt <4417> twelve

<8147> thousand <6240> <0505>. O God <0430>, thou hast cast

<2186> us off, thou hast scattered <6555> us, thou hast been

displeased <0599>; O turn <7725> thyself to us again <7725>.

2 Thou hast made the earth <0776> to tremble <7493>; thou hast

broken <6480> it: heal <7495> the breaches <7667> thereof; for

it shaketh <4131>.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people <5971> hard <7186> things: thou

hast made us to drink <8248> the wine <3196> of astonishment

<8653>.

4 Thou hast given <5414> a banner <5251> to them that fear

<3373> thee, that it may be displayed <5127> because <6440> of

the truth <7189>. Selah <5542>.

5 That thy beloved <3039> may be delivered <2502>; save <3467>

[with] thy right <3225> hand <3225>, and hear <6030> me.

6. God <0430> hath spoken <1696> in his holiness <6944>; I will

rejoice <5937>, I will divide <2505> Shechem <7927>, and mete

<4058> out the valley <6010> of Succoth <5523>.

7 Gilead <1568> [is] mine, and Manasseh <4519> [is] mine;

Ephraim <0669> also [is] the strength <4581> of mine head <7218>;

Judah <3063> [is] my lawgiver <2710>;

8 Moab <4124> [is] my washpot; over <5921> Edom <0123> will I

cast <7993> out my shoe <5275>: Philistia <6429>, triumph <7321>

thou because <5921> of me.

9 Who <4310> will bring <2986> me [into] the strong <4692> city

<5892>? who <4310> will lead <5148> me into <5704> Edom <0123>?

10 [Wilt] not thou, O God <0430>, [which] hadst cast <2186> us

off? and [thou], O God <0430>, [which] didst not go <3318> out

with our armies <6635>?

11 Give <3051> us help <5833> from trouble <6862>: for vain

<7723> [is] the help <8668> of man <0120>.

12 Through God <0430> we shall do <6213> valiantly <2428>: for

he [it is that] shall tread <0947> down our enemies <6862>.

Psalms 61

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Neginah <5058>, [A Psalm]

of David <1732>. Hear <8085> my cry <7440>, O God <0430>; attend

<7181> unto my prayer <8605>.

2 From the end <7097> of the earth <0776> will I cry <7121>

unto thee, when my heart <3820> is overwhelmed <5848>: lead

<5148> me to the rock <6697> [that] is higher <7311> than I.

3 For thou hast been <1961> a shelter <4268> for me, [and] a

strong <5797> tower <4026> from the enemy <0341>.

4 I will abide <1481> in thy tabernacle <0168> for ever <5769>:

I will trust <2620> in the covert <5643> of thy wings <3671>.

Selah <5542>.

5. For thou, O God <0430>, hast heard <8085> my vows <5088>:

thou hast given <5414> [me] the heritage <3425> of those that

fear <3373> thy name <8034>.

6 Thou wilt prolong <3254> the king's <4428> life: [and] his

years <8141> as many generations <1755>.

7 He shall abide <3427> before <6440> God <0430> for ever

<5769>: O prepare <4487> mercy <2617> and truth <0571>, [which]

may preserve <5341> him.

8 So <3651> will I sing <2167> praise unto thy name <8034> for

ever <5703>, that I may daily <3117> perform <7999> my vows

<5088>.

Psalms 62

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, to Jeduthun <3038>, A Psalm

<4210> of David <1732>. Truly <0389> my soul <5315> waiteth

<1747> upon God <0430>: from him [cometh] my salvation <3444>.

2 He only <0389> [is] my rock <6697> and my salvation <3444>;

[he is] my defence <4869>; I shall not be greatly <7227> moved

<4131>.

3 How <5704> long <5704> will ye imagine <2050> mischief <0205>

against <5921> a man <0376>? ye shall be slain <7523> all <3605>

of you: as a bowing <5186> wall <7023> [shall ye be, and as] a

tottering <1760> fence <1447>.

4 They only <0389> consult <3289> to cast <5080> [him] down

from his excellency <7613>: they delight <7521> in lies <3576>:

they bless <1288> with their mouth <6310>, but they curse <7043>

inwardly <7130>. Selah <5542>.

5 My soul <5315>, wait <1826> thou only <0389> upon God <0430>;

for my expectation <8615> [is] from him.

6 He only <0389> [is] my rock <6697> and my salvation <3444>:

[he is] my defence <4869>; I shall not be moved <4131>.

7 In God <0430> [is] my salvation <3468> and my glory <3519>:

the rock <6697> of my strength <5797>, [and] my refuge <4268>,

[is] in God <0430>.

8. Trust <0982> in him at all <3605> times <6256>; [ye] people

<5971>, pour <8210> out your heart <3824> before <6440> him: God

<0430> [is] a refuge <4268> for us. Selah <5542>.

9 Surely <0389> men of low degree [are] vanity <1892>, [and]

men <0376> of high <0376> degree [are] a lie <3576>: to be laid

<5927> in the balance <3976>, they [are] altogether <3162>

[lighter] than vanity <1892>.

10 Trust <0982> not in oppression <6233>, and become <1891> not

vain <1891> in robbery <1498>: if riches <2428> increase <5107>,

set <7896> not your heart <3820> [upon them].

11 God <0430> hath spoken <1696> once <0259>; twice <8147> have

I heard <8085> this <2098>; that power <5797> [belongeth] unto

God <0430>.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord <0136>, [belongeth] mercy <2617>: for

thou renderest <7999> to every man <0376> according to his work

<4639>.

Psalms 63

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>, when he was <1961> in the

wilderness <4057> of Judah <3063>. O God <0430>, thou [art] my

God <0410>; early <7836> will I seek <7836> thee: my soul <5315>

thirsteth <6770> for thee, my flesh <1320> longeth <3642> for

thee in a dry <6723> and thirsty land <0776>, where no <1097>

water <4325> is;

2 To see <7200> thy power <5797> and thy glory <3519>, so

<3651> [as] I have seen <2372> thee in the sanctuary <6944>.

3. Because <3588> thy lovingkindness <2617> [is] better <2896>

than life <2416>, my lips <8193> shall praise <7623> thee.

4 Thus <3651> will I bless <1288> thee while I live <2416>: I

will lift <5375> up my hands <3709> in thy name <8034>.

5 My soul <5315> shall be satisfied <7646> as [with] marrow

<2459> and fatness <1880>; and my mouth <6310> shall praise

<1984> [thee] with joyful <7445> lips <8193>:

6 When <0518> I remember <2142> thee upon my bed <3326>, [and]

meditate <1897> on thee in the [night] watches <0821>.

7. Because <3588> thou hast been <1961> my help <5833>,

therefore in the shadow <6738> of thy wings <3671> will I

rejoice <7442>.

8 My soul <5315> followeth <1692> hard <1692> after <0310> thee:

thy right <3225> hand <3225> upholdeth <8551> me.

9 But those [that] seek <1245> my soul <5315>, to destroy

<7722> [it], shall go <0935> into the lower <8482> parts of the

earth <0776>.

10 They shall fall <5064> by the sword <2719>: they shall be a

portion <4521> for foxes <7776>.

11 But the king <4428> shall rejoice <8055> in God <0430>;

every <3605> one that sweareth <7650> by him shall glory <1984>:

but the mouth <6310> of them that speak <1696> lies <8267> shall

be stopped <5534>.

Psalms 64

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

Hear <8085> my voice <6963>, O God <0430>, in my prayer <7879>:

preserve <5341> my life <2416> from fear <6343> of the enemy

<0341>.

2 Hide <5641> me from the secret <5475> counsel <5475> of the

wicked <7489>; from the insurrection <7285> of the workers

<6466> of iniquity <0205>:

3 Who <0834> whet <8150> their tongue <3956> like a sword

<2719>, [and] bend <1869> [their bows to shoot] their arrows

<2671>, [even] bitter <4751> words <1697>:

4 That they may shoot <3384> in secret <4565> at the perfect

<8535>: suddenly <6597> do they shoot <3384> at him, and fear

<3372> not.

5 They encourage <2388> themselves [in] an evil <7451> matter

<1697>: they commune <5608> of laying <2934> snares <4170>

privily <2934>; they say <0559>, Who <4310> shall see <7200>

them?

6 They search <2664> out iniquities <5766>; they accomplish

<8552> a diligent search <2665>: both the inward <7130>

[thought] of every <0376> one <0376> [of them], and the heart

<3820>, [is] deep <6013>.

7. But God <0430> shall shoot <3384> at them [with] an arrow

<2671>; suddenly <6597> shall they be wounded <4347>.

8 So they shall make their own tongue <3956> to fall <3782>

upon themselves: all <3605> that see <7200> them shall flee

<5074> away.

9 And all <3605> men <0120> shall fear <3372>, and shall

declare <5046> the work <6467> of God <0430>; for they shall

wisely <7919> consider <7919> of his doing <4640>.

10 The righteous <6662> shall be glad <8056> in the LORD <3068>,

and shall trust <2620> in him; and all <3605> the upright

<3477> in heart <3820> shall glory <1984>.

Psalms 65

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> [and] Song

<7892> of David <1732>. Praise <8416> waiteth <1747> for thee, O

God <0430>, in Sion <6726>: and unto thee shall the vow <5088>

be performed <7999>.

2 O thou that hearest <8085> prayer <8605>, unto thee shall all

<3605> flesh <1320> come <0935>.

3 Iniquities prevail <1396> against me: [as for] our

transgressions <6588>, thou shalt purge <3722> them away.

4 Blessed <0835> [is the man whom] thou choosest <0977>, and

causest to approach <7126> [unto thee, that] he may dwell <7931>

in thy courts <2691>: we shall be satisfied <7646> with the

goodness <2898> of thy house <1004>, [even] of thy holy <6918>

temple <1964>.

5 [By] terrible <3372> things in righteousness <6664> wilt thou

answer <6030> us, O God <0430> of our salvation <3468>; [who

art] the confidence <4009> of all <3605> the ends <7099> of the

earth <0776>, and of them that are afar <7350> off [upon] the

sea <3220>:

6. Which by his strength <3581> setteth <3559> fast the

mountains <2022>; [being] girded <0247> with power <1369>:

7 Which stilleth <7623> the noise <7588> of the seas <3220>,

the noise <7588> of their waves <1530>, and the tumult <1995> of

the people <3816>.

8 They also that dwell <3427> in the uttermost <7098> parts are

afraid <3372> at thy tokens <0226>: thou makest the outgoings

<4161> of the morning <1242> and evening <6153> to rejoice

<7442>.

9 Thou visitest <6485> the earth <0776>, and waterest <7783> it:

thou greatly <7227> enrichest <6238> it with the river <5104>

of God <0430>, [which] is full <4390> of water <4325>: thou

preparest <3559> them corn <1715>, when thou hast so <3651>

provided <3559> for it.

10 Thou waterest <7301> the ridges <8525> thereof abundantly

<7301>: thou settlest <5181> the furrows <1417> thereof: thou

makest it soft <4127> with showers <7241>: thou blessest <1288>

the springing <6780> thereof.

11 Thou crownest <5849> the year <8141> with thy goodness

<2896>; and thy paths <4570> drop <7491> fatness <1880>.

12 They drop <7491> [upon] the pastures <4999> of the

wilderness <4057>: and the little hills <1389> rejoice <1524> on

every side <2296>.

13 The pastures <3733> are clothed <3847> with flocks <6629>;

the valleys <6010> also are covered <5848> over <5948> with corn

<1250>; they shout <7321> for joy, they also <0637> sing <7891>.

Psalms 66

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Song <7892> [or] Psalm

<4210>. Make a joyful <7321> noise <7321> unto God <0430>, all

<3605> ye lands <0776>:

2 Sing <2167> forth the honour <3519> of his name <8034>: make

<7760> his praise <8416> glorious <3519>.

3 Say <0559> unto God <0430>, How <4100> terrible <3372> [art

thou in] thy works <4639>! through the greatness <7230> of thy

power <5797> shall thine enemies <0341> submit <3584> themselves

unto thee.

4 All <3605> the earth <0776> shall worship <7812> thee, and

shall sing <2167> unto thee; they shall sing <2167> [to] thy

name <8034>. Selah <5542>.

5 Come <3212> and see <7200> the works <4659> of God <0430>:

[he is] terrible <3372> [in his] doing <5949> toward <5921> the

children <1121> of men <0120>.

6 He turned <2015> the sea <3220> into dry <3004> [land <0776>]:

they went <5674> through the flood <5104> on foot <7272>: there

<8033> did we rejoice <8055> in him.

7 He ruleth <4910> by his power <1369> for ever <5769>; his

eyes <5869> behold <6822> the nations <1471>: let not the

rebellious <5637> exalt <7311> themselves. Selah <5542>.

8. O bless <1288> our God <0430>, ye people <5971>, and make

the voice <6963> of his praise <8416> to be heard <8085>:

9 Which holdeth <7760> our soul <5315> in life <2416>, and

suffereth <5414> not our feet <7373> to be moved <4132>.

10 For thou, O God <0430>, hast proved <0974> us: thou hast

tried <6884> us, as silver <3701> is tried <6884>.

11 Thou broughtest <0935> us into the net <4685>; thou laidst

<7760> affliction <4157> upon our loins <4975>.

12 Thou hast caused men <0582> to ride <7392> over our heads

<7218>; we went <0935> through fire <0784> and through water

<4325>: but thou broughtest <3318> us out into a wealthy <7310>

[place].

13. I will go <0935> into thy house <1004> with burnt <5930>

offerings: I will pay <7999> thee my vows <5088>,

14 Which <0834> my lips <8193> have uttered <4475>, and my

mouth <6310> hath spoken <1696>, when I was in trouble <6862>.

15 I will offer <5927> unto thee burnt <5930> sacrifices of

fatlings <4220>, with the incense <7004> of rams <0352>; I will

offer <6213> bullocks <1241> with goats <6260>. Selah <5542>.

16 Come <3212> [and] hear, all <3605> ye that fear <3373> God

<0430>, and I will declare <5608> what <0834> he hath done

<6213> for my soul <5315>.

17 I cried <7121> unto him with my mouth <6310>, and he was

extolled <7318> with my tongue <3956>.

18 If <0518> I regard <7200> iniquity <0205> in my heart <3820>,

the Lord <0136> will not hear <8085> [me]:

19 [But] verily <0403> God <0430> hath heard <8085> [me]; he

hath attended <7181> to the voice <6963> of my prayer <8605>.

20 Blessed <1288> [be] God <0430>, which <0834> hath not turned

<5493> away my prayer <8605>, nor his mercy <2617> from me.

Psalms 67

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058>, A Psalm

<4210> [or] Song <7892>. God <0430> be merciful <2603> unto us,

and bless <1288> us; [and] cause his face <6440> to shine <0215>

upon us; Selah <5542>.

2 That thy way <1870> may be known <3045> upon earth <0776>,

thy saving <3444> health among all <3605> nations <1471>.

3 Let the people <5971> praise <3034> thee, O God <0430>; let

all <3605> the people <5971> praise <3034> thee.

4 O let the nations <3816> be glad <8056> and sing <7442> for

joy: for thou shalt judge <8199> the people <5971> righteously

<4334>, and govern <5148> the nations <3816> upon earth <0776>.

Selah <5542>.

5 Let the people <5971> praise <3034> thee, O God <0430>; let

all <3605> the people <5971> praise <3034> thee.

6 [Then] shall the earth <0776> yield <5414> her increase

<2981>; [and] God <0430>, [even] our own God <0430>, shall bless

<1288> us.

7 God <0430> shall bless <1288> us; and all <3605> the ends

<0657> of the earth <0776> shall fear <3372> him.

Psalms 68

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> [or] Song

<7892> of David <1732>. Let God <0430> arise <6965>, let his

enemies <0341> be scattered <6327>: let them also that hate

<8130> him flee <5127> before <6440> him.

2 As smoke <6227> is driven <5086> away, [so] drive <5086>

[them] away: as wax <1749> melteth <4549> before <6440> the fire

<0784>, [so] let the wicked <7563> perish <6> at the presence

<6440> of God <0430>.

3 But let the righteous <6662> be glad <8056>; let them rejoice

<5970> before <6440> God <0430>: yea, let them exceedingly

<8057> rejoice <7797>.

4 Sing <7891> unto God <0430>, sing <2167> praises to his name

<8034>: extol <5549> him that rideth <7392> upon the heavens

<6160> by his name <8034> JAH <3050>, and rejoice <5937> before

<6440> him.

5 A father <1> of the fatherless <3490>, and a judge <1781> of

the widows <0490>, [is] God <0430> in his holy <6944> habitation

<4583>.

6 God <0430> setteth <3427> the solitary <3173> in families

<1004>: he bringeth <3318> out those which are bound <0615> with

chains <3574>: but the rebellious <5637> dwell <7931> in a dry

<6707> [land].

7. O God <0430>, when thou wentest <3318> forth <3318> before

<6440> thy people <5971>, when thou didst march <6805> through

the wilderness <3452>; Selah <5542>:

8 The earth <0776> shook <7493>, the heavens <8064> also <0637>

dropped <5197> at the presence <6440> of God <0430>: [even]

Sinai <5514> itself <2088> [was moved] at the presence <6440> of

God <0430>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>.

9 Thou, O God <0430>, didst send <5130> a plentiful <5071> rain

<1653>, whereby thou didst confirm <3559> thine inheritance

<5159>, when it was weary <3811>.

10 Thy congregation <2416> hath dwelt <3427> therein: thou, O

God <0430>, hast prepared <3559> of thy goodness <2896> for the

poor <6041>.

11 The Lord <0136> gave <5414> the word <0562>: great <7227>

[was] the company <6635> of those that published <1319> [it].

12 Kings <4428> of armies <6635> did flee <5074> apace: and she

that tarried <5116> at home <1004> divided <2505> the spoil

<7998>.

13 Though <0518> ye have lien <7901> among <0996> the pots

<8240>, [yet shall ye be as] the wings <3671> of a dove <3123>

covered <2645> with silver <3701>, and her feathers <84> with

yellow <3422> gold <2742>.

14 When the Almighty <7706> scattered <6566> kings <4428> in it,

it was [white] as snow <7949> in Salmon <6756>.

15. The hill <2022> of God <0430> [is as] the hill <2022> of

Bashan <1316>; an high <1386> hill <2022> [as] the hill <2022>

of Bashan <1316>.

16 Why <4100> leap <7520> ye, ye high <1386> hills <2022>?

[this is] the hill <2022> [which] God <0430> desireth <2530> to

dwell <3427> in; yea <0637>, the LORD <3068> will dwell <7931>

[in it] for ever <5331>.

17 The chariots <7393> of God <0430> [are] twenty <7239>

thousand <7239>, [even] thousands <0505> of angels <8136>: the

Lord <0136> [is] among them, [as in] Sinai <5514>, in the holy

<6944> [place].

18 Thou hast ascended <5927> on high <4791>, thou hast led

captivity <7628> captive <7617>: thou hast received <3947> gifts

<4979> for men <0120>; yea <0637>, [for] the rebellious <5637>

also <0637>, that the LORD <0136> God <0430> might dwell <7931>

[among them].

19 Blessed <1288> [be] the Lord <0136>, [who] daily <3117>

loadeth <6006> us [with benefits, even] the God <0410> of our

salvation <3444>. Selah <5542>.

20 [He that is] our God <0410> [is] the God <0410> of salvation

<4190>; and unto GOD <3069> the Lord <0136> [belong] the issues

<8444> from death <4194>.

21 But God <0430> shall wound <4272> the head <7218> of his

enemies <0341>, [and] the hairy <8181> scalp <6936> of such an

one as goeth <1980> on still in his trespasses <0817>.

22. The Lord <0136> said <0559>, I will bring <7725> again

<7725> from Bashan <1316>, I will bring <7725> [my people] again

<7725> from the depths <4688> of the sea <3220>:

23 That thy foot <7272> may be dipped <4272> in the blood

<1818> of [thine] enemies <0341>, [and] the tongue <3956> of thy

dogs <3611> in the same.

24 They have seen <7200> thy goings <1979>, O God <0430>;

[even] the goings <1979> of my God <0410>, my King <4428>, in

the sanctuary <6944>.

25 The singers <7891> went <6923> before <6924>, the players

<5059> on instruments [followed] after <0310>; among <8432>

[them were] the damsels <5959> playing with timbrels <8608>.

26 Bless <1288> ye God <0430> in the congregations <4721>,

[even] the Lord <0136>, from the fountain <4726> of Israel

<3478>.

27 There <8033> [is] little <6810> Benjamin <1144> [with] their

ruler <7287>, the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> [and] their

council <7277>, the princes <8269> of Zebulun <2074>, [and] the

princes <8269> of Naphtali <5321>.

28 Thy God <0430> hath commanded <6680> thy strength <5797>:

strengthen <5810>, O God <0430>, that which <2098> thou hast

wrought <6466> for us.

29 Because of thy temple <1964> at <5921> Jerusalem <3389>

shall kings <4428> bring <2986> presents <7862> unto thee.

30 Rebuke <1605> the company <2416> of spearmen <7070>, the

multitude <5712> of the bulls <47>, with the calves <5695> of

the people <5971>, [till every one] submit <7511> himself with

pieces <7518> of silver <3701>: scatter <0967> thou the people

<5971> [that] delight <2654> in war <7128>.

31 Princes <2831> shall come <0857> out of Egypt <4714>;

Ethiopia <3568> shall soon <7323> stretch <7323> out her hands

<3027> unto God <0430>.

32. Sing <7891> unto God <0430>, ye kingdoms <4467> of the

earth <0776>; O sing <2167> praises unto the Lord <0136>; Selah

<5542>:

33 To him that rideth <7392> upon the heavens <8064> of heavens

<8064>, [which were] of old <6924>; lo <2005>, he doth send

<5414> out his voice <6963>, [and that] a mighty <5797> voice

<6963>.

34 Ascribe <5414> ye strength <5797> unto God <0430>: his

excellency <1346> [is] over <5921> Israel <3478>, and his

strength <5797> [is] in the clouds <7834>.

35 O God <0430>, [thou art] terrible <3372> out of thy holy

<4720> places: the God <0410> of Israel <3478> [is] he that

giveth <5414> strength <5797> and power <8592> unto [his] people

<5971>. Blessed <1288> [be] God <0430>.

Psalms 69

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Shoshannim <7999>, [A

Psalm] of David <1732>. Save <3467> me, O God <0430>; for the

waters <4325> are come <0935> in unto [my] soul <5315>.

2 I sink <2883> in deep <4688> mire <3121>, where [there is] no

<0369> standing <4613>: I am come <0935> into deep <4615> waters

<4325>, where the floods <7641> overflow <7857> me.

3 I am weary <3021> of my crying <7121>: my throat <1627> is

dried <2787>: mine eyes <5869> fail <3615> while I wait <3176>

for my God <0430>.

4 They that hate <8130> me without <2600> a cause <2600> are

more <7231> than the hairs <8185> of mine head <7218>: they that

would destroy <6789> me, [being] mine enemies <0341> wrongfully

<8267>, are mighty <5105>: then <0227> I restored <7725> [that]

which <0834> I took <1497> not away <1497>.

5 O God <0430>, thou knowest <3045> my foolishness <0200>; and

my sins <0819> are not hid <3582> from thee.

6 Let not them that wait <6960> on thee, O Lord <0136> GOD

<3069> of hosts <6635>, be ashamed <0954> for my sake: let not

those that seek <1245> thee be confounded <3637> for my sake, O

God <0430> of Israel <3478>.

7 Because <3588> for thy sake <4616> I have borne <5375>

reproach <2781>; shame <3639> hath covered <3680> my face <6440>.

8 I am become <1961> a stranger <2114> unto my brethren <0251>,

and an alien <5237> unto my mother's <0517> children <1121>.

9 For the zeal <7068> of thine house <1004> hath eaten <0398>

me up; and the reproaches <2781> of them that reproached <2778>

thee are fallen <5307> upon me.

10 When I wept <1058>, [and chastened] my soul <5315> with

fasting <6685>, that was to my reproach <2781>.

11 I made <5414> sackcloth <8242> also my garment <3830>; and I

became <1961> a proverb <4912> to them.

12 They that sit <3427> in the gate <8179> speak <7878> against

me; and I [was] the song <5058> of the drunkards.

13. But as for me, my prayer <8605> [is] unto thee, O LORD

<3068>, [in] an acceptable <7522> time <6256>: O God <0430>, in

the multitude <7230> of thy mercy <2617> hear <6030> me, in the

truth <0571> of thy salvation <3468>.

14 Deliver <5337> me out of the mire <2916>, and let me not

sink <2883>: let me be delivered <5337> from them that hate

<8130> me, and out of the deep <4615> waters <4325>.

15 Let not the waterflood overflow <7857> me, neither <0408>

let the deep <4688> swallow <1104> me up, and let not the pit

<0875> shut <0332> her mouth <6310> upon me.

16 Hear <6030> me, O LORD <3068>; for thy lovingkindness <2617>

[is] good <2896>: turn <6437> unto me according to the multitude

<7230> of thy tender mercies <7356>.

17 And hide <5641> not thy face <6440> from thy servant <5650>;

for I am in trouble <6887>: hear <6030> me speedily <4118>.

18 Draw nigh <7126> unto my soul <5315>, [and] redeem <1350> it:

deliver <6299> me because <4616> of mine enemies <0341>.

19 Thou hast known <3045> my reproach <2781>, and my shame

<1322>, and my dishonour <3639>: mine adversaries <6887> [are]

all <3605> before <6440> thee.

20 Reproach <2781> hath broken <7665> my heart <3820>; and I am

full of heaviness <5136>: and I looked <6960> [for some] to take

pity <5110>, but [there was] none <0369>; and for comforters

<5162>, but I found <4672> none <3808>.

21 They gave <5414> me also gall <7219> for my meat <1267>; and

in my thirst <6772> they gave me vinegar <2558> to drink <8248>.

22. Let their table <7979> become <1961> a snare <6341> before

<6440> them: and [that which should have been] for [their]

welfare <7965>, [let it become] a trap <4170>.

23 Let their eyes <5869> be darkened <2821>, that they see

<7200> not; and make their loins <4975> continually <8548> to

shake <4571>.

24 Pour <8210> out thine indignation <2195> upon them, and let

thy wrathful <2740> anger <0639> take <5381> hold <5381> of them.

25 Let their habitation <2918> be desolate <8074>; [and] let

none <0408> dwell <3427> in their tents <0168>.

26 For they persecute <7291> [him] whom <0834> thou hast

smitten <5221>; and they talk <5608> to the grief <4341> of

those whom thou hast wounded <2491>.

27 Add <5414> iniquity <5771> unto their iniquity <5771>: and

let them not come <0935> into thy righteousness <6666>.

28 Let them be blotted <4229> out of the book <5612> of the

living <2416>, and not be written <3789> with the righteous

<6662>.

29 But I [am] poor <6041> and sorrowful <3510>: let thy

salvation <3444>, O God <0430>, set me up on high <7682>.

30. I will praise <1984> the name <8034> of God <0430> with a

song <7892>, and will magnify <1431> him with thanksgiving

<8426>.

31 [This] also shall please <3190> the LORD <3068> better

<3190> than an ox <7794> [or] bullock <6499> that hath horns

<7160> and hoofs <6536>.

32 The humble <6041> shall see <7200> [this, and] be glad

<8056>: and your heart <3824> shall live <2421> that seek <1875>

God <0430>.

33 For the LORD <3068> heareth <8085> the poor <34>, and

despiseth <0959> not his prisoners <0615>.

34 Let the heaven <8064> and earth <0776> praise <1984> him,

the seas <3220>, and every <3605> thing that moveth <7430>

therein.

35 For God <0430> will save <3467> Zion <6726>, and will build

<1129> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>: that they may dwell

<3427> there, and have it in possession <3423>.

36 The seed <2233> also of his servants <5650> shall inherit

<5157> it: and they that love <0157> his name <8034> shall dwell

<7931> therein.

Psalms 70

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, [A Psalm] of David <1732>, to

bring to remembrance <2142>. [Make haste], O God <0430>, to

deliver <5337> me; make haste <2363> to help <5833> me, O LORD

<3068>.

2 Let them be ashamed <0954> and confounded <2659> that seek

<1245> after my soul <5315>: let them be turned <5472> backward

<0268>, and put to confusion <3637>, that desire <2655> my hurt

<7451>.

3 Let them be turned <7725> back <7725> for a reward <6118> of

their shame <1322> that say <0559>, Aha <0253>, aha <0253>.

4 Let all <3605> those that seek <1245> thee rejoice <7797> and

be glad <8056> in thee: and let such as love <0157> thy

salvation <3444> say <0559> continually <8548>, Let God <0430>

be magnified <1431>.

5 But I [am] poor <6041> and needy <34>: make haste <2363> unto

me, O God <0430>: thou [art] my help <5828> and my deliverer

<6403>; O LORD <3068>, make no <0408> tarrying <0309>.

Psalms 71

1. In thee, O LORD <3068>, do I put my trust <2620>: let <3381>

me never be put to confusion <0954>.

2 Deliver <5337> me in thy righteousness <6666>, and cause me

to escape <6403>: incline <5186> thine ear <0241> unto me, and

save <3467> me.

3 Be thou my strong <6697> habitation <4583>, whereunto I may

continually <8548> resort <0935>: thou hast given commandment

<6680> to save <3467> me; for thou [art] my rock <5553> and my

fortress <4686>.

4 Deliver <6403> me, O my God <0430>, out of the hand <3027> of

the wicked <7563>, out of the hand <3709> of the unrighteous

<5765> and cruel <2556> man.

5 For thou [art] my hope <8615>, O Lord <0136> GOD <3069>:

[thou art] my trust <4004> from my youth <5271>.

6 By thee have I been <1961> holden <5564> up from the womb

<0990>: thou art he that took <1491> me out of my mother's

<0517> bowels <4578>: my praise <8416> [shall be] continually

<8548> of thee.

7 I am as a wonder <4159> unto many <7227>; but thou [art] my

strong <5797> refuge <4268>.

8 Let my mouth <6310> be filled <4390> [with] thy praise <8416>

[and with] thy honour <8597> all <3605> the day <3117>.

9 Cast <7993> me not off in the time <6256> of old <2209> age;

forsake <5800> me not when my strength <3581> faileth <3615>.

10 For mine enemies <0341> speak <0559> against me; and they

that lay wait <8104> for my soul <5315> take counsel <3289>

together <3162>,

11 Saying <0559>, God <0430> hath forsaken <5800> him:

persecute <7291> and take <8610> him; for [there is] none <0369>

to deliver <5337> [him].

12 O God <0430>, be not far <7368> from me: O my God <0430>,

make haste <2439> for my help <5833>.

13 Let them be confounded <0954> [and] consumed <3615> that are

adversaries <7853> to my soul <5315>; let them be covered <5844>

[with] reproach <2781> and dishonour <3639> that seek <1245> my

hurt <7451>.

14. But I will hope <3176> continually <8548>, and will yet

praise <8416> thee more <3254> and more <3254>.

15 My mouth <6310> shall shew <5608> forth thy righteousness

<6666> [and] thy salvation <8668> all <3605> the day <3117>; for

I know <3045> not the numbers <5615> [thereof].

16 I will go <0935> in the strength <1369> of the Lord <0136>

GOD <3069>: I will make mention <2142> of thy righteousness

<6666>, [even] of thine only <0905>.

17 O God <0430>, thou hast taught <3925> me from my youth

<5271>: and hitherto <2008> have I declared <5046> thy wondrous

<6381> works.

18 Now also <1571> when <5704> I am old <2209> and grayheaded

<7872>, O God <0430>, forsake <5800> me not; until <5704> I have

shewed <5046> thy strength <2220> unto [this] generation <1755>,

[and] thy power <1369> to every <3605> one [that] is to come

<0935>.

19 Thy righteousness <6666> also, O God <0430>, [is] very

<5704> high <4791>, who <0834> hast done <6213> great <1419>

things: O God <0430>, who <4310> [is] like <3644> unto thee!

20 [Thou], which <0834> hast shewed <7200> me great <7229> and

sore <7451> troubles <6869>, shalt quicken <2421> me again

<7725>, and shalt bring <5927> me up again <7725> from the

depths <8415> of the earth <0776>.

21 Thou shalt increase <7235> my greatness <1420>, and comfort

<5162> me on every <5437> side <5437>.

22 I will also <1571> praise <3034> thee with the psaltery

<3627>, [even] thy truth <0571>, O my God <0430>: unto thee will

I sing <2167> with the harp <3658>, O thou Holy <6918> One of

Israel <3478>.

23 My lips <8193> shall greatly rejoice <7442> when <3588> I

sing <2167> unto thee; and my soul <5315>, which <0834> thou

hast redeemed <6299>.

24 My tongue <3956> also <1571> shall talk <1897> of thy

righteousness <6666> all <3605> the day <3117> long: for they

are confounded <0954>, for they are brought <2659> unto shame

<2659>, that seek <1245> my hurt <7451>.

Psalms 72

1. [A Psalm] for Solomon <8010>. Give <5414> the king <4428>

thy judgments <4941>, O God <0430>, and thy righteousness <6666>

unto the king's <4428> son <1121>.

2. He shall judge <1777> thy people <5971> with righteousness

<6664>, and thy poor <6041> with judgment <4941>.

3 The mountains <2022> shall bring <5375> peace <7965> to the

people <5971>, and the little hills <1389>, by righteousness

<6666>.

4 He shall judge <8199> the poor <6041> of the people <5971>,

he shall save <3467> the children <1121> of the needy <34>, and

shall break <1792> in pieces the oppressor <6231>.

5 They shall fear <3372> thee as long <5973> as the sun <8121>

and moon <3394> endure <6440>, throughout all generations <1755>.

6 He shall come <3381> down <3381> like rain <4306> upon the

mown <1488> grass: as showers <7241> [that] water <2222> the

earth <0776>.

7 In his days <3117> shall the righteous <6662> flourish <6524>;

and abundance <7230> of peace <7965> so <5704> long <5704> as

the moon <3394> endureth <1097>.

8 He shall have dominion <7287> also from sea <3220> to sea

<3220>, and from the river <5104> unto the ends <0657> of the

earth <0776>.

9 They that dwell in the wilderness <6728> shall bow <3766>

before <6440> him; and his enemies <0341> shall lick <3897> the

dust <6083>.

10 The kings <4428> of Tarshish <8659> and of the isles <0339>

shall bring <7725> presents <4503>: the kings <4428> of Sheba

<7614> and Seba <5434> shall offer <7126> gifts <0814>.

11 Yea, all <3605> kings <4428> shall fall <7812> down <7812>

before him: all <3605> nations <1471> shall serve <5647> him.

12 For he shall deliver <5337> the needy <34> when he crieth

<7768>; the poor <6041> also, and [him] that hath no <0369>

helper <5826>.

13 He shall spare <2347> the poor <1800> and needy <34>, and

shall save <3467> the souls <5315> of the needy <34>.

14 He shall redeem <1350> their soul <5315> from deceit <8496>

and violence <2555>: and precious <3365> shall their blood

<1818> be in his sight <5869>.

15 And he shall live <2421>, and to him shall be given <5414>

of the gold <2091> of Sheba <7614>: prayer <6419> also shall be

made for him continually <8548>; [and] daily shall he be praised

<1288>.

16 There shall be an handful <6451> of corn <1250> in the earth

<0776> upon the top <7218> of the mountains <2022>; the fruit

<6529> thereof shall shake <7493> like Lebanon <3844>: and

[they] of the city <5892> shall flourish <6692> like grass

<6212> of the earth <0776>.

17 His name <8034> shall endure <1961> for ever <5769>: his

name <8034> shall be continued <5125> as long <6440> as the sun

<8121>: and [men] shall be blessed <1288> in him: all <3605>

nations <1471> shall call <0833> him blessed <0833>.

18. Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> God <0430>, the God

<0430> of Israel <3478>, who only <0905> doeth <6213> wondrous

<6381> things.

19 And blessed <1288> [be] his glorious <3519> name <8034> for

ever <5769>: and let the whole earth <0776> be filled <4390>

[with] his glory <3519>; Amen <0543>, and Amen <0543>.

20 The prayers <8605> of David <1732> the son <1121> of Jesse

<3448> are ended <3615>.

Psalms 73

1. A Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. Truly <0389> God <0430> [is]

good <2896> to Israel <3478>, [even] to such as are of a clean

<1249> heart <3824>.

2 But as for me, my feet <7373> were almost <4592> gone <5186>;

my steps <0838> had well <0369> nigh <4952> slipped <8210>.

3 For I was envious <7065> at the foolish <1984>, [when] I saw

<7200> the prosperity <7965> of the wicked <7563>.

4 For [there are] no <0369> bands <2784> in their death <4194>:

but their strength <0193> [is] firm <1277>.

5 They [are] not in trouble <5999> [as other] men <0582>;

neither <3808> are they plagued <5060> like <5973> [other] men

<0120>.

6 Therefore pride <1346> compasseth <6059> them about as a

chain <6059>; violence <2555> covereth <5848> them [as] a

garment <7897>.

7 Their eyes <5869> stand <3318> out with fatness <2459>: they

have more <5674> than heart <3824> could wish <4906>.

8 They are corrupt <4167>, and speak <1696> wickedly <7451>

[concerning] oppression <6233>: they speak <1696> loftily <4791>.

9 They set <8371> their mouth <6310> against the heavens <8064>,

and their tongue <3956> walketh <1980> through the earth <0776>.

10 Therefore <3651> his people <5971> return <7725> hither

<1988>: and waters <4325> of a full <4392> [cup] are wrung

<4680> out to them.

11 And they say <0559>, How <0349> doth God <4010> know <3045>?

and is there knowledge <1844> in the most <5945> High <5945>?

12 Behold <2009>, these <0428> [are] the ungodly <7563>, who

<4310> prosper <7951> in the world <5769>; they increase <7685>

[in] riches <2428>.

13 Verily <0389> I have cleansed <2135> my heart <3824> [in]

vain <7385>, and washed <7364> my hands <3709> in innocency

<5356>.

14 For all <3605> the day <3117> long have I been <1961>

plagued <5060>, and chastened <8433> every morning <1242>.

15. If <0518> I say <0559>, I will speak <5608> thus <3644>;

behold <2009>, I should offend <0898> [against] the generation

<1755> of thy children <1121>.

16 When I thought <2803> to know <3045> this <2063>, it [was]

too painful <5999> for me;

17 Until <5704> I went <0935> into <0413> the sanctuary <4720>

of God <0410>; [then] understood <0995> I their end <0319>.

18 Surely <0389> thou didst set <7896> them in slippery <2513>

places: thou castedst <5307> them down <5307> into destruction

<4876>.

19 How <0349> are they [brought] into desolation <8047>, as in

a moment <7281>! they are utterly consumed <8552> with terrors

<1091>.

20 As a dream <2472> when [one] awaketh <6974>; [so], O Lord

<0136>, when thou awakest <5782>, thou shalt despise <0959>

their image <6754>.

21. Thus <3588> my heart <3824> was grieved <2556>, and I was

pricked <8150> in my reins <3629>.

22 So foolish <1198> [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast

<0929> before <5973> thee.

23 Nevertheless I [am] continually <8548> with thee: thou hast

holden <0270> [me] by my right <3225> hand <3027>.

24 Thou shalt guide <5148> me with thy counsel <6098>, and

afterward <0310> receive <3947> me [to] glory <3519>.

25 Whom <4310> have I in heaven <8064> [but thee]? and [there

is] none <3808> upon earth <0776> [that] I desire <2654> beside

<5973> thee.

26 My flesh <7607> and my heart <3824> faileth <3615>: [but]

God <0430> [is] the strength <6697> of my heart <3824>, and my

portion <2506> for ever <5769>.

27 For, lo <2005>, they that are far <7369> from thee shall

perish <6>: thou hast destroyed <6789> all <3605> them that go a

whoring <2181> from thee.

28 But [it is] good <2896> for me to draw near <7132> to God

<0430>: I have put <7896> my trust <4268> in the Lord <0136> GOD

<3069>, that I may declare <5608> all <3605> thy works <4399>.

Psalms 74

1. Maschil <7919> of Asaph <0623>. O God <0430>, why <4100>

hast thou cast <2186> [us] off for ever <5331>? [why] doth thine

anger <0639> smoke <6225> against the sheep <6629> of thy

pasture <4830>?

2 Remember <2142> thy congregation <5712>, [which] thou hast

purchased <7069> of old <6924>; the rod <7626> of thine

inheritance <5159>, [which] thou hast redeemed <1350>; this

<2088> mount <2022> Zion <6726>, wherein thou hast dwelt <7931>.

3 Lift <7311> up thy feet <6471> unto the perpetual <5331>

desolations <4876>; [even] all <3605> [that] the enemy <0341>

hath done wickedly <7489> in the sanctuary <6944>.

4 Thine enemies <6887> roar <7580> in the midst <7130> of thy

congregations <4150>; they set <7760> up their ensigns <0226>

[for] signs <0226>.

5 [A man] was famous <3045> according as he had lifted <0935>

up axes <7134> upon the thick <5441> trees <6086>.

6 But now <6258> they break <1986> down the carved <6603> work

<6603> thereof at <3162> once with axes <3781> and hammers

<3597>.

7 They have cast <7971> fire <0784> into thy sanctuary <4720>,

they have defiled <2490> [by casting down] the dwelling <4908>

place of thy name <8034> to the ground <0776>.

8 They said <0559> in their hearts <3820>, Let us destroy

<3238> them together <3162>: they have burned <8313> up all

<3605> the synagogues <4150> of God <0410> in the land <0776>.

9 We see <7200> not our signs <0226>: [there is] no <0369> more

<5750> any prophet <5030>: neither <3808> [is there] among

<0854> us any that knoweth <3045> how <5704> long <5704>.

10 O God <0430>, how <5704> long <5704> shall the adversary

<6862> reproach <2778>? shall the enemy <0341> blaspheme <5006>

thy name <8034> for ever <5331>?

11 Why <4100> withdrawest <7725> thou thy hand <3027>, even thy

right <3225> hand <3225>? pluck <3615> [it] out of thy bosom

<2436>.

12. For God <0430> [is] my King <4428> of old <6924>, working

<6466> salvation <3444> in the midst <7130> of the earth <0776>.

13 Thou didst divide <6565> the sea <3220> by thy strength

<5797>: thou brakest <7665> the heads <7218> of the dragons

<8577> in the waters <4325>.

14 Thou brakest <7533> the heads <7218> of leviathan <3882> in

pieces, [and] gavest <5414> him [to be] meat <3978> to the

people <5971> inhabiting <6728> the wilderness <6728>.

15 Thou didst cleave <1234> the fountain <4599> and the flood

<5158>: thou driedst <3001> up mighty <0386> rivers <5104>.

16 The day <3117> [is] thine, the night <3915> also <0637> [is]

thine: thou hast prepared <3559> the light <3974> and the sun

<8121>.

17 Thou hast set <5324> all <3605> the borders <1367> of the

earth <0776>: thou hast made <3335> summer <7019> and winter

<2779>.

18. Remember <2142> this <2063>, [that] the enemy <0341> hath

reproached <2778>, O LORD <3068>, and [that] the foolish <5036>

people <5971> have blasphemed <5006> thy name <8034>.

19 O deliver <5414> not the soul <5315> of thy turtledove

<8449> unto the multitude <2416> [of the wicked]: forget <7911>

not the congregation <2416> of thy poor <6041> for ever <5331>.

20 Have respect <5027> unto the covenant <1285>: for the dark

<4285> places of the earth <0776> are full <4390> of the

habitations <4999> of cruelty <2555>.

21 O let not the oppressed <1790> return <7725> ashamed <3637>:

let the poor <6041> and needy <34> praise <1984> thy name <8034>.

22 Arise <6965>, O God <0430>, plead <7378> thine own cause

<7379>: remember <2142> how the foolish <5036> man reproacheth

<2781> thee daily.

23 Forget <7911> not the voice <6963> of thine enemies <6887>:

the tumult <7588> of those that rise <6965> up against thee

increaseth <5927> continually <8548>.

Psalms 75

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, Altaschith <0408> <7843>, A

Psalm <4210> [or] Song <7892> of Asaph <0623>. Unto thee, O God

<0430>, do <6213> we give thanks <3034>, [unto thee] do <6213>

we give thanks <3034>: for [that] thy name <8034> is near <7138>

thy wondrous <6381> works declare <5608>.

2 When <3588> I shall receive <3947> the congregation <4150> I

will judge <8199> uprightly <4339>.

3 The earth <0776> and all <3605> the inhabitants <3427>

thereof are dissolved <4127>: I bear <8505> up the pillars

<5982> of it. Selah <5542>.

4 I said <0559> unto the fools <1984>, Deal not foolishly

<1984>: and to the wicked <7563>, Lift <7311> not up the horn

<7161>:

5 Lift <7311> not up your horn <7161> on high <4791>: speak

<1696> [not with] a stiff <6277> neck <6677>.

6. For promotion <7311> [cometh] neither <3808> from the east

<4161>, nor from the west <4628>, nor from the south <4057>.

7 But God <0430> [is] the judge <8199>: he putteth <8213> down

<8231> one, and setteth <7311> up another <2088>.

8 For in the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> [there is] a cup

<3563>, and the wine <3196> is red <2560>; it is full <4392> of

mixture <4538>; and he poureth <5064> out of the same <2088>:

but the dregs <8105> thereof, all <3605> the wicked <7563> of

the earth <0776> shall wring <4680> [them] out, [and] drink

<8354> [them].

9 But I will declare <5046> for ever <5769>; I will sing

praises to the God <0430> of Jacob <3290>.

10 All <3605> the horns <7161> of the wicked <7563> also will I

cut <1438> off; [but] the horns <7161> of the righteous <6662>

shall be exalted <7311>.

Psalms 76

1. To the chief Musician <5329> on Neginoth <5058>, A Psalm

<4210> [or] Song <7892> of Asaph <0623>. In Judah <3063> [is]

God <0430> known <3045>: his name <8034> [is] great <1419> in

Israel <3478>.

2 In Salem <8004> also is his tabernacle <5520>, and his

dwelling <4585> place in Zion <6726>.

3 There <8033> brake <7665> he the arrows <7565> of the bow

<7198>, the shield <4043>, and the sword <2719>, and the battle

<4421>. Selah <5542>.

4 Thou [art] more glorious <0215> [and] excellent <0117> than

the mountains <2042> of prey <2964>.

5 The stouthearted are spoiled <7997>, they have slept <5123>

their sleep <8142>: and none <3808> of the men <0582> of might

<2428> have found <4672> their hands <3027>.

6 At thy rebuke <1606>, O God <0430> of Jacob <3290>, both the

chariot <7393> and horse <5483> are cast <7290> into a dead

sleep <7290>.

7. Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared <3372>: and who <4310>

may stand <5975> in thy sight <6440> when once <0227> thou art

angry <0639>?

8 Thou didst cause judgment <1779> to be heard <8085> from

heaven <8064>; the earth <0776> feared <3372>, and was still

<8252>,

9 When God <0430> arose <6965> to judgment <4941>, to save

<3467> all <3605> the meek <6035> of the earth <0776>. Selah

<5542>.

10 Surely <3588> the wrath <2534> of man <0120> shall praise

<3034> thee: the remainder <7611> of wrath <2534> shalt thou

restrain <2296>.

11 Vow <5087>, and pay <7999> unto the LORD <3068> your God

<0430>: let all <3605> that be round <5439> about him bring

<2986> presents <7862> unto him that ought to be feared <4172>.

12 He shall cut <1219> off the spirit <7307> of princes <5057>:

[he is] terrible <3372> to the kings <4428> of the earth <0776>.

Psalms 77

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, to Jeduthun <3038>, A Psalm

<4210> of Asaph <0623>. I cried <6817> unto God <0430> with my

voice <6963>, [even] unto God <0430> with my voice <6963>; and

he gave ear <0238> unto me.

2 In the day <3117> of my trouble <6869> I sought <1875> the

Lord <0136>: my sore <3027> ran <5064> in the night <3915>, and

ceased <6313> not: my soul <5315> refused <3985> to be comforted

<5162>.

3 I remembered <2142> God <0430>, and was troubled <1993>: I

complained <7878>, and my spirit <7307> was overwhelmed <5848>.

Selah <5542>.

4 Thou holdest <0270> mine eyes <5869> waking <8109>: I am so

<3651> troubled <6470> that I cannot <3808> speak <1696>.

5 I have considered <2803> the days <3117> of old <6924>, the

years <8141> of ancient <5769> times.

6 I call <2142> to remembrance <2142> my song <5058> in the

night <3915>: I commune <7878> with mine own heart <3824>: and

my spirit <7307> made diligent search <2664>.

7 Will the Lord <0136> cast <2186> off for ever <5769>? and

will he be favourable <7520> no <3808> more?

8 Is his mercy <2617> clean <0656> gone <0656> for ever <5331>?

doth [his] promise <0562> fail <1584> for evermore <1755>?

9 Hath God <0410> forgotten <7911> to be gracious <2589>? hath

he in anger <0639> shut <7092> up his tender mercies <7356>?

Selah <5542>.

10 And I said <0559>, This <1931> [is] my infirmity <2470>:

[but I will remember <2142>] the years <8141> of the right

<3225> hand <3225> of the most <5945> High <5945>.

11. I will remember <2142> the works <4611> of the LORD <3050>:

surely I will remember <2142> thy wonders <6382> of old <6924>.

12 I will meditate <1897> also of all <3605> thy work <6467>,

and talk <7878> of thy doings <5949>.

13 Thy way <1870>, O God <0430>, [is] in the sanctuary <6944>:

who <4310> [is so] great <1419> a God <0410> as [our] God <0430>?

14 Thou [art] the God <0410> that doest <6213> wonders <6382>:

thou hast declared <3045> thy strength <5797> among the people

<5971>.

15 Thou hast with [thine] arm <2220> redeemed <1350> thy people

<5971>, the sons <1121> of Jacob <3290> and Joseph <3130>. Selah

<5542>.

16 The waters <4325> saw <7200> thee, O God <0430>, the waters

<4325> saw <7200> thee; they were afraid <2342>: the depths

<8415> also <0637> were troubled <7264>.

17 The clouds <5645> poured <2229> out water <4325>: the skies

<7834> sent <5414> out a sound <6963>: thine arrows <2687> also

<0637> went <1980> abroad <1980>.

18 The voice <6963> of thy thunder <7482> [was] in the heaven

<1534>: the lightnings <1300> lightened <0215> the world <8398>:

the earth <0776> trembled <7264> and shook <7493>.

19 Thy way <1870> [is] in the sea <3220>, and thy path <7635>

in the great <7227> waters <4325>, and thy footsteps <6119> are

not known <3045>.

20 Thou leddest <5148> thy people <5971> like a flock <6629> by

the hand <3027> of Moses <4872> and Aaron <0175>.

Psalms 78

1. Maschil <4905> of Asaph <0623>. Give ear <0238>, O my people

<5971>, [to] my law <8451>: incline <5186> your ears <0241> to

the words <0561> of my mouth <6310>.

2 I will open <6605> my mouth <6310> in a parable <4912>: I

will utter <5042> dark <2420> sayings <2420> of old <6924>:

3 Which <0834> we have heard <8085> and known <3045>, and our

fathers <1> have told <5608> us.

4 We will not hide <3582> [them] from their children <1121>,

shewing <5608> to the generation <1755> to come <0314> the

praises <8416> of the LORD <3068>, and his strength <5807>, and

his wonderful <6381> works that he hath done <6213>.

5 For he established <6965> a testimony <5715> in Jacob <3290>,

and appointed <7760> a law <8451> in Israel <3478>, which <0834>

he commanded <6680> our fathers <1>, that they should make them

known <3045> to their children <1121>:

6 That the generation <1755> to come <0314> might know <3045>

[them, even] the children <1121> [which] should be born <3205>;

[who] should arise <6965> and declare <5608> [them] to their

children <1121>:

7 That they might set <7760> their hope <3689> in God <0430>,

and not forget <7911> the works <4611> of God <0410>, but keep

<5341> his commandments <4687>:

8 And might not be as their fathers <1>, a stubborn <5637> and

rebellious <4784> generation <1755>; a generation <1755> [that]

set <3559> not their heart <3820> aright <3559>, and whose

spirit <7307> was not stedfast <0539> with God <0410>.

9. The children <1121> of Ephraim <0669>, [being] armed <5401>,

[and] carrying <7411> bows <7198>, turned <2015> back <2015> in

the day <3117> of battle <7128>.

10 They kept <8104> not the covenant <1285> of God <0430>, and

refused <3985> to walk <3212> in his law <8451>;

11 And forgat <7911> his works <5949>, and his wonders <6381>

that he had shewed <7200> them.

12 Marvellous <6382> things did <6213> he in the sight <5048>

of their fathers <1>, in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, [in]

the field <7704> of Zoan <6814>.

13 He divided <1234> the sea <3220>, and caused them to pass

<5674> through; and he made the waters <4325> to stand <5324> as

an heap <5067>.

14 In the daytime <3119> also he led <5148> them with a cloud

<6051>, and all <3605> the night <3915> with a light <0216> of

fire <0784>.

15 He clave <1234> the rocks <6697> in the wilderness <4057>,

and gave [them] drink <8248> as [out of] the great <7227> depths

<8415>.

16 He brought <3318> streams <5140> also out of the rock <5553>,

and caused waters <4325> to run <3381> down like rivers <5104>.

17 And they sinned <2398> yet <5750> more against him by

provoking <4784> the most <5945> High <5945> in the wilderness

<6723>.

18 And they tempted <5254> God <0410> in their heart <3824> by

asking <7592> meat <0400> for their lust <5315>.

19 Yea, they spake <1696> against God <0430>; they said <0559>,

Can <3201> God <0410> furnish <6186> a table <7979> in the

wilderness <4057>?

20 Behold <2005>, he smote <5221> the rock <6697>, that the

waters <4325> gushed <2100> out, and the streams <5158>

overflowed <7857>; can <3201> he give <5414> bread <3899> also

<1571>? can <3201> he provide <3559> flesh <7607> for his people

<5971>?

21 Therefore <3651> the LORD <3068> heard <8085> [this], and

was wroth <5674>: so a fire <0784> was kindled <5400> against

Jacob <3290>, and anger <0639> also <1571> came <5927> up

against Israel <3478>;

22 Because <3588> they believed <0539> not in God <0430>, and

trusted <0982> not in his salvation <3444>:

23 Though he had commanded <6680> the clouds <7834> from above

<4605>, and opened <6605> the doors <1817> of heaven <8064>,

24 And had rained <4305> down manna <4478> upon them to eat

<0398>, and had given <5414> them of the corn <1715> of heaven

<8064>.

25 Man <0376> did eat <0398> angels <47>' food <3899>: he sent

<7971> them meat <6720> to the full <7648>.

26 He caused an east <6921> wind to blow <5265> in the heaven

<8064>: and by his power <5797> he brought <5090> in the south

<8486> wind.

27 He rained <4305> flesh <7607> also upon them as dust <6083>,

and feathered <3671> fowls <5775> like as the sand <2344> of the

sea <3220>:

28 And he let [it] fall <5307> in the midst <7130> of their

camp <4264>, round <5439> about their habitations <4908>.

29 So they did eat <0398>, and were well <3966> filled <7646>:

for he gave <0935> them their own desire <8378>;

30 They were not estranged <2114> from their lust <8378>. But

while their meat <0400> [was] yet <5750> in their mouths <6310>,

31 The wrath <0639> of God <0430> came <5927> upon them, and

slew <2026> the fattest <4924> of them, and smote <3766> down

<3766> the chosen <0970> [men] of Israel <3478>.

32 For all <3605> this <2063> they sinned <2398> still <5750>,

and believed <0539> not for his wondrous <6381> works.

33 Therefore their days <3117> did he consume <3615> in vanity

<1892>, and their years <8141> in trouble <0928>.

34 When <0518> he slew <2026> them, then they sought <1875> him:

and they returned <7725> and enquired <7836> early <7836> after

God <0410>.

35 And they remembered <2142> that God <0430> [was] their rock

<6697>, and the high <5945> God <0410> their redeemer <1350>.

36 Nevertheless they did flatter <6601> him with their mouth

<6310>, and they lied <3576> unto him with their tongues <3956>.

37 For their heart <3820> was not right <3559> with him,

neither <3808> were they stedfast <0539> in his covenant <1285>.

38 But he, [being] full of compassion <7349>, forgave <3722>

[their] iniquity <5771>, and destroyed <7843> [them] not: yea,

many <7235> a time turned <7725> he his anger <0639> away, and

did not stir <5782> up all <3605> his wrath <2534>.

39 For he remembered <2142> that they [were but] flesh <1320>;

a wind <7307> that passeth <1980> away, and cometh <7725> not

again <7725>.

40. How <4101> oft did they provoke <4784> him in the

wilderness <4057>, [and] grieve <6087> him in the desert <3452>!

41 Yea, they turned <7725> back <7725> and tempted <5254> God

<0410>, and limited <8428> the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

42 They remembered <2142> not his hand <3027>, [nor] the day

<3117> when <0834> he delivered <6299> them from the enemy

<6862>.

43 How <0834> he had wrought <7760> his signs <0226> in Egypt

<4714>, and his wonders <4159> in the field <7704> of Zoan

<6814>:

44 And had turned <2015> their rivers <2975> into blood <1818>;

and their floods <5140>, that they could not drink <8354>.

45 He sent <7971> divers sorts of flies <6157> among them,

which devoured <0398> them; and frogs <6854>, which destroyed

<7843> them.

46 He gave <5414> also their increase <2981> unto the

caterpiller <2625>, and their labour <3018> unto the locust

<0697>.

47 He destroyed <2026> their vines <1612> with hail <1259>, and

their sycomore <8256> trees with frost <2602>.

48 He gave <5462> up their cattle <1165> also to the hail

<1259>, and their flocks <4735> to hot <7565> thunderbolts

<7565>.

49 He cast <7971> upon them the fierceness <2740> of his anger

<0639>, wrath <5678>, and indignation <2195>, and trouble <6869>,

by sending <4917> evil <7451> angels <4397> [among them].

50 He made a way <5410> to his anger <0639>; he spared <2820>

not their soul <5315> from death <4194>, but gave <5462> their

life <2416> over <5462> to the pestilence <1698>;

51 And smote <5221> all <3605> the firstborn <1060> in Egypt

<4714>; the chief <5329> of [their] strength <0202> in the

tabernacles <0168> of Ham <2526>:

52 But made his own people <5971> to go <5265> forth <5265>

like sheep <6629>, and guided <5090> them in the wilderness

<4057> like a flock <5739>.

53 And he led <5148> them on safely <0983>, so that they feared

<6342> not: but the sea <3220> overwhelmed <3680> their enemies

<0341>.

54 And he brought <0935> them to the border <1366> of his

sanctuary <6944>, [even to] this <2088> mountain <2022>, [which]

his right <3225> hand <3225> had purchased <7069>.

55 He cast <1644> out the heathen <1471> also before <6440>

them, and divided <5307> them an inheritance <5159> by line

<2256>, and made the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478> to dwell

<7931> in their tents <0168>.

56 Yet they tempted <5254> and provoked <4784> the most <5945>

high <5945> God <0430>, and kept <8104> not his testimonies

<5713>:

57 But turned <5472> back <5472>, and dealt unfaithfully <0898>

like their fathers <1>: they were turned <2015> aside <2015>

like a deceitful <7423> bow <7198>.

58 For they provoked him to anger <3707> with their high <1116>

places, and moved him to jealousy <7065> with their graven

<6456> images <6456>.

59 When God <0430> heard <8085> [this], he was wroth <5674>,

and greatly <3966> abhorred <3988> Israel <3478>:

60 So that he forsook <5203> the tabernacle <4908> of Shiloh

<7887>, the tent <0168> [which] he placed <7931> among men

<0120>;

61 And delivered <5414> his strength <5797> into captivity

<7628>, and his glory <8597> into the enemy's <6862> hand <3027>.

62 He gave <5462> his people <5971> over <5462> also unto the

sword <2719>; and was wroth <5674> with his inheritance <5159>.

63 The fire <0784> consumed <0398> their young <0970> men; and

their maidens <1330> were not given to marriage <1984>.

64 Their priests <3548> fell <5307> by the sword <2719>; and

their widows <0490> made no <3808> lamentation <1058>.

65 Then the Lord <0136> awaked <3364> as one out of sleep

<3463>, [and] like a mighty <1368> man that shouteth <7442> by

reason of wine <3196>.

66 And he smote <5221> his enemies <6862> in the hinder <0268>

parts: he put <5414> them to a perpetual <5769> reproach <2781>.

67 Moreover he refused <3988> the tabernacle <0168> of Joseph

<3130>, and chose <0977> not the tribe <7626> of Ephraim <0669>:

68 But chose <0977> the tribe <7626> of Judah <3063>, the mount

<2022> Zion <6726> which <0834> he loved <0157>.

69 And he built <1129> his sanctuary <4720> like high <7311>

[palaces], like the earth <0776> which he hath established

<3245> for ever <5769>.

70 He chose <0977> David <1732> also his servant <5650>, and

took <3947> him from the sheepfolds:

71 From following <0310> the ewes <5763> great with young

<5763> he brought <0935> him to feed <7462> Jacob <3290> his

people <5971>, and Israel <3478> his inheritance <5159>.

72 So he fed <7462> them according to the integrity <8537> of

his heart <3824>; and guided <5148> them by the skilfulness

<8394> of his hands <3709>.

Psalms 79

1. A Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. O God <0430>, the heathen

<1471> are come <0935> into thine inheritance <5159>; thy holy

<6944> temple <1964> have they defiled <2930>; they have laid

<7760> Jerusalem <3389> on heaps <5856>.

2 The dead <5038> bodies <5038> of thy servants <5650> have

they given <5414> [to be] meat <3978> unto the fowls <5775> of

the heaven <8064>, the flesh <1320> of thy saints <2623> unto

the beasts <2416> of the earth <0776>.

3 Their blood <1818> have they shed <8210> like water <4325>

round <5439> about Jerusalem <3389>; and [there was] none <0369>

to bury <6912> [them].

4 We are become <1961> a reproach <2781> to our neighbours

<7934>, a scorn <3933> and derision <7047> to them that are

round <5439> about us.

5 How <5704> long <5704>, LORD <3068>? wilt thou be angry

<0599> for ever <5331>? shall thy jealousy <7068> burn <1197>

like fire <0784>?

6. Pour <8210> out thy wrath <2534> upon the heathen <1471>

that have not known <3045> thee, and upon the kingdoms <4467>

that have not called <7121> upon thy name <8034>.

7 For they have devoured <0398> Jacob <3290>, and laid waste

<8074> his dwelling <5116> place.

8 O remember <2142> not against us former <7223> iniquities

<5771>: let thy tender mercies <7356> speedily <4118> prevent

<6923> us: for we are brought <1809> very <3966> low <1809>.

9 Help <5826> us, O God <0430> of our salvation <3468>, for the

glory <3519> of thy name <8034>: and deliver <5337> us, and

purge <3722> away our sins <2403>, for thy name's <8034> sake

<4616>.

10 Wherefore <4100> should the heathen <1471> say <0559>, Where

<0346> [is] their God <0430>? let him be known <3045> among the

heathen <1471> in our sight <5869> [by] the revenging <5360> of

the blood <1818> of thy servants <5650> [which is] shed <8210>.

11 Let the sighing <0603> of the prisoner <0616> come <0935>

before <6440> thee; according to the greatness <1433> of thy

power <2220> preserve <3498> thou those that are appointed

<1121> to die <8546>;

12 And render <7725> unto our neighbours <7934> sevenfold

<7659> into <0413> their bosom <2436> their reproach <2781>,

wherewith <0834> they have reproached <2778> thee, O Lord <0136>.

13 So we thy people <5971> and sheep <6629> of thy pasture

<4830> will give thee thanks <3034> for ever <5769>: we will

shew <5608> forth <5608> thy praise <8416> to all generations

<1755>.

Psalms 80

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon Shoshannimeduth <7799>

<5715>, A Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. Give ear <0238>, O

Shepherd <7462> of Israel <3478>, thou that leadest <5090>

Joseph <3130> like a flock <6629>; thou that dwellest <3427>

[between] the cherubims <3742>, shine <3313> forth.

2 Before <6440> Ephraim <0669> and Benjamin <1144> and Manasseh

<4519> stir <5782> up thy strength <1369>, and come <3212> [and]

save <3444> us.

3 Turn <7725> us again <7725>, O God <0430>, and cause thy face

<6440> to shine <0215>; and we shall be saved <3467>.

4 O LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, how <5704> long

<5704> wilt thou be angry <6225> against the prayer <8605> of

thy people <5971>?

5 Thou feedest <0398> them with the bread <3899> of tears

<1832>; and givest them tears <1832> to drink <8248> in great

<7991> measure <7991>.

6 Thou makest <7760> us a strife <4066> unto our neighbours

<7934>: and our enemies <0341> laugh <3932> among themselves.

7 Turn <7725> us again <7725>, O God <0430> of hosts <6635>,

and cause thy face <6440> to shine <0215>; and we shall be saved

<3467>.

8. Thou hast brought <5265> a vine <1612> out of Egypt <4714>:

thou hast cast <1644> out the heathen <1471>, and planted <5193>

it.

9 Thou preparedst <6437> [room] before <6440> it, and didst

cause it to take deep <8328> root <8327>, and it filled <4390>

the land <0776>.

10 The hills <2022> were covered <3680> with the shadow <6738>

of it, and the boughs <6057> thereof [were like] the goodly

<0410> cedars <0730>.

11 She sent <7971> out her boughs <7105> unto the sea <3220>,

and her branches <3127> unto the river <5104>.

12 Why <4100> hast thou [then] broken <6555> down her hedges

<1447>, so that all <3605> they which pass <5674> by the way

<1870> do <6213> pluck <0717> her?

13 The boar <2386> out of the wood <3293> doth waste <3765> it,

and the wild <2123> beast <2123> of the field <7704> doth devour

<7462> it.

14 Return <7725>, we beseech <4994> thee, O God <0430> of hosts

<6635>: look <5027> down from heaven <8064>, and behold <7200>,

and visit <6485> this <2063> vine <1612>;

15 And the vineyard <3657> which <0834> thy right <3225> hand

<3225> hath planted <5193>, and the branch <1121> [that] thou

madest strong <0553> for thyself.

16 [It is] burned <8313> with fire <0784>, [it is] cut <3683>

down: they perish <6> at the rebuke <1606> of thy countenance

<6440>.

17 Let thy hand <3027> be upon the man <0376> of thy right

<3225> hand <3225>, upon the son <1121> of man <0120> [whom]

thou madest strong <0553> for thyself.

18 So will not we go <5472> back <5472> from thee: quicken

<2421> us, and we will call <7121> upon thy name <8034>.

19 Turn <7725> us again <7725>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of

hosts <6635>, cause thy face <6440> to shine <0215>; and we

shall be saved <3467>.

Psalms 81

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Gittith <1665>, [A

Psalm] of Asaph <0623>. Sing <7442> aloud <7442> unto God <0430>

our strength <5797>: make a joyful noise unto the God <0430> of

Jacob <3290>.

2 Take <5375> a psalm <2172>, and bring <5414> hither the

timbrel <8596>, the pleasant <5273> harp <3658> with the

psaltery <5035>.

3 Blow <8628> up the trumpet <7782> in the new <2320> moon

<2320>, in the time appointed <3677>, on our solemn <2282> feast

<2282> day <3117>.

4 For this <1931> [was] a statute <2706> for Israel <3478>,

[and] a law <4941> of the God <0430> of Jacob <3290>.

5 This he ordained <7760> in Joseph <3084> [for] a testimony

<5715>, when he went <3318> out through <5921> the land <0776>

of Egypt <4714>: [where] I heard <8085> a language <8193> [that]

I understood <3045> not.

6 I removed <5493> his shoulder <7926> from the burden <5449>:

his hands <3709> were delivered <5674> from the pots <1731>.

7 Thou calledst <7121> in trouble <6869>, and I delivered

<2502> thee; I answered <6030> thee in the secret <5643> place

of thunder <7482>: I proved <0974> thee at <5291> the waters

<4325> of Meribah <4809>. Selah <5542>.

8. Hear <8085>, O my people <5971>, and I will testify <5749>

unto thee: O Israel <3478>, if <0518> thou wilt hearken <8085>

unto me;

9 There shall no <3808> strange <2114> god <0410> be in thee;

neither <3808> shalt thou worship <7812> any strange <5236> god

<0410>.

10 I [am] the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, which brought <5927>

thee out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>: open thy mouth

<6310> wide <7337>, and I will fill <4390> it.

11 But my people <5971> would not hearken <8085> to my voice

<6963>; and Israel <3478> would <14> none <3808> of me.

12 So I gave <7971> them up unto their own hearts <3820>' lust

<8307>: [and] they walked <3212> in their own counsels <4156>.

13 Oh <3863> that my people <5971> had hearkened <8085> unto me,

[and] Israel <3478> had walked <1980> in my ways <1870>!

14 I should soon <4592> have subdued <3665> their enemies

<0341>, and turned <7725> my hand <3027> against <5921> their

adversaries <6862>.

15 The haters <8130> of the LORD <3068> should have submitted

<3584> themselves unto him: but their time <6256> should have

endured <1961> for ever <5769>.

16 He should have fed <0398> them also with the finest <2459>

of the wheat <2406>: and with honey <1706> out of the rock

<6697> should I have satisfied <7649> thee.

Psalms 82

1. A Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. God <0430> standeth <5324>

in the congregation <5712> of the mighty <0410>; he judgeth

<8199> among <8432> the gods <0430>.

2 How <5704> long <5704> will ye judge <8199> unjustly <5766>,

and accept <5375> the persons <6440> of the wicked <7563>? Selah

<5542>.

3 Defend <8199> the poor <1800> and fatherless <3490>: do

justice <6663> to the afflicted <6041> and needy <7326>.

4 Deliver <6403> the poor <1800> and needy <34>: rid <5337>

[them] out of the hand <3027> of the wicked <7563>.

5 They know <3045> not, neither <3808> will they understand

<0995>; they walk <1980> on in darkness <2825>: all the

foundations <4146> of the earth <0776> are out of course <4131>.

6. I have said <0559>, Ye [are] gods <0430>; and all <3605> of

you [are] children <1121> of the most <5945> High <5945>.

7 But ye shall die <4191> like men <0120>, and fall <5307> like

one <0259> of the princes <8269>.

8 Arise <6965>, O God <0430>, judge <8199> the earth <0776>:

for thou shalt inherit <5157> all <3605> nations <1471>.

Psalms 83

1. A Song <7892> [or] Psalm <4210> of Asaph <0623>. Keep not

thou silence <3808> <1824>, O God <0430>: hold <2790> not thy

peace <2790>, and be not still <8252>, O God <0410>.

2 For, lo <2009>, thine enemies <0341> make a tumult <1993>:

and they that hate <8130> thee have lifted <5375> up the head

<7218>.

3 They have taken crafty <6191> counsel <5475> against <5921>

thy people <5971>, and consulted <3289> against <5921> thy

hidden <6845> ones.

4 They have said <0559>, Come <3212>, and let us cut <3582>

them off from [being] a nation <1471>; that the name <8034> of

Israel <3478> may be no <3808> more in remembrance <2142>.

5 For they have consulted <3289> together <3162> with one

consent <3820>: they are confederate against <5921> thee:

6 The tabernacles <0168> of Edom <0123>, and the Ishmaelites

<3459>; of Moab <4124>, and the Hagarenes <1905>;

7 Gebal <1381>, and Ammon <5983>, and Amalek <6002>; the

Philistines <6430> with the inhabitants <3427> of Tyre <6865>;

8 Assur <0804> also <1571> is joined <3867> with them: they

have holpen <2220> the children <1121> of Lot <3876>. Selah

<5542>.

9. Do <6213> unto them as [unto] the Midianites <4080>; as [to]

Sisera <5516>, as [to] Jabin <2985>, at the brook <5158> of

Kison <7028>:

10 [Which] perished <8045> at Endor <5874>: they became <1961>

[as] dung <1828> for the earth <0127>.

11 Make <7896> their nobles <5081> like Oreb <6157>, and like

Zeeb <2062>: yea, all <3605> their princes <5257> as Zebah

<2078>, and as Zalmunna <6759>:

12 Who <0834> said <0559>, Let us take to ourselves the houses

<4999> of God <0430> in possession <3423>.

13 O my God <0430>, make <7896> them like a wheel <1534>; as

the stubble <7179> before <6440> the wind <7307>.

14 As the fire <0784> burneth <1197> a wood <3293>, and as the

flame <3852> setteth <3857> the mountains <2022> on fire <3857>;

15 So <3651> persecute <7291> them with thy tempest <5591>, and

make them afraid <0926> with thy storm <5492>.

16 Fill <4390> their faces <6440> with shame <7036>; that they

may seek <1245> thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068>.

17 Let them be confounded <0954> and troubled <0926> for ever

<5703>; yea, let them be put to shame <2659>, and perish <6>:

18 That [men] may know <3045> that thou, whose name <8034>

alone <0905> [is] JEHOVAH <3068>, [art] the most <5945> high

<5945> over <5921> all <3605> the earth <0776>.

Psalms 84

1. To the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Gittith <1665>, A

Psalm <4210> for the sons <1121> of Korah <7141>. How <4100>

amiable <3039> [are] thy tabernacles <4908>, O LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>!

2 My soul <5315> longeth <3700>, yea <1571>, even <1571>

fainteth <3615> for the courts <2691> of the LORD <3068>: my

heart <3820> and my flesh <1320> crieth <7442> out for the

living <2416> God <0410>.

3 Yea <1571>, the sparrow <6833> hath found <4672> an house

<1004>, and the swallow <1866> a nest <7064> for herself, where

<0834> she may lay <7896> her young <0667>, [even <0853>] thine

altars <4196>, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, my King <4428>,

and my God <0430>.

4 Blessed <0835> [are] they that dwell <3427> in thy house

<1004>: they will be still <5750> praising <1984> thee. Selah

<5542>.

5 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0120> whose strength <5797> [is]

in thee; in whose heart <3824> [are] the ways <4546> [of them].

6 [Who] passing <5674> through the valley <6010> of Baca <1056>

make <6213> it a well <4599>; the rain <4175> also <1571>

filleth <5844> the pools <1293>.

7 They go <3212> from strength <2428> to strength <2428>,

[every one of them] in Zion <6726> appeareth <7200> before

<0413> God <0430>.

8. O LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, hear <8085> my

prayer <8605>: give ear <0238>, O God <0430> of Jacob <3290>.

Selah <5542>.

9 Behold <7200>, O God <0430> our shield <4043>, and look

<5027> upon the face <6440> of thine anointed <4899>.

10 For a day <3117> in thy courts <2691> [is] better <2896>

than a thousand <0505>. I had rather <0977> be a doorkeeper

<5605> in the house <1004> of my God <0430>, than to dwell

<1752> in the tents <0168> of wickedness <7562>.

11 For the LORD <3068> God <0430> [is] a sun <8121> and shield

<4043>: the LORD <3068> will give <5414> grace <2580> and glory

<3519>: no <3808> good <2896> [thing] will he withhold <4513>

from them that walk <1980> uprightly <8549>.

12 O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, blessed <0835> [is] the man

<0120> that trusteth <0982> in thee.

Psalms 85

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> for the sons

<1121> of Korah <7141>. LORD <3068>, thou hast been favourable

<7520> unto thy land <0776>: thou hast brought <7725> back

<7725> the captivity <7622> of Jacob <3290>.

2 Thou hast forgiven <5375> the iniquity <5771> of thy people

<5971>, thou hast covered <3680> all <3605> their sin <2403>.

Selah <5542>.

3 Thou hast taken <5375> away all <3605> thy wrath <5678>: thou

hast turned <7725> [thyself] from the fierceness <2740> of thine

anger <0639>.

4 Turn <7725> us, O God <0430> of our salvation <3468>, and

cause thine anger <3708> toward <5973> us to cease <6565>.

5 Wilt thou be angry <0599> with us for ever <5769>? wilt thou

draw <4900> out thine anger <0639> to all <3605> generations

<1755>?

6 Wilt thou not revive <2421> us again <7725>: that thy people

<5971> may rejoice <8055> in thee?

7 Shew <7200> us thy mercy <2617>, O LORD <3068>, and grant

<5414> us thy salvation <3468>.

8. I will hear <8085> what <4100> God <0410> the LORD <3068>

will speak <1696>: for he will speak <1696> peace <7965> unto

his people <5971>, and to his saints <2623>: but let them not

turn <7725> again <7725> to folly <3690>.

9 Surely <0389> his salvation <3468> [is] nigh <7138> them that

fear <3373> him; that glory <3519> may dwell <7931> in our land

<0776>.

10 Mercy <2617> and truth <0571> are met <6298> together;

righteousness <6664> and peace <7965> have kissed <5401> [each

other].

11 Truth <0571> shall spring <6779> out of the earth <0776>;

and righteousness <6664> shall look <8259> down from heaven

<8064>.

12 Yea <1571>, the LORD <3068> shall give <5414> [that which

is] good <2896>; and our land <0776> shall yield <5414> her

increase <2981>.

13 Righteousness <6664> shall go <1980> before <6440> him; and

shall set <7760> [us] in the way <1870> of his steps <6471>.

Psalms 86

1. A Prayer <8605> of David <1732>. Bow <5186> down <5186>

thine ear <0241>, O LORD <3068>, hear <6030> me: for I [am] poor

<6041> and needy <34>.

2 Preserve <8104> my soul <5315>; for I [am] holy <2623>: O

thou my God <0430>, save <3467> thy servant <5650> that trusteth

<0982> in thee.

3 Be merciful <2603> unto me, O Lord <0136>: for I cry <7121>

unto thee daily.

4 Rejoice <8055> the soul <5315> of thy servant <5650>: for

unto thee, O Lord <0136>, do I lift <5375> up my soul <5315>.

5 For thou, Lord <0136>, [art] good <2896>, and ready to

forgive <5546>; and plenteous <7227> in mercy <2617> unto all

<3605> them that call <7121> upon thee.

6 Give ear <0238>, O LORD <3068>, unto my prayer <8605>; and

attend <7181> to the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>.

7 In the day <3117> of my trouble <6869> I will call <7121>

upon thee: for thou wilt answer <6030> me.

8. Among the gods <0430> [there is] none <0369> like unto thee,

O Lord <0136>; neither <0369> [are there any works <4639>] like

unto thy works <4639>.

9 All <3605> nations <1471> whom <0834> thou hast made <6213>

shall come <0935> and worship <7812> before <6440> thee, O Lord

<0136>; and shall glorify <3513> thy name <8034>.

10 For thou [art] great <1419>, and doest <6213> wondrous

<6381> things: thou [art] God <0430> alone <0905>.

11 Teach <3384> me thy way <1870>, O LORD <3068>; I will walk

<1980> in thy truth <0571>: unite <3161> my heart <3824> to fear

<3372> thy name <8034>.

12 I will praise <3034> thee, O Lord <0136> my God <0430>, with

all <3605> my heart <3824>: and I will glorify <3513> thy name

<8034> for evermore <5769>.

13 For great <1419> [is] thy mercy <2617> toward <5921> me: and

thou hast delivered <5337> my soul <5315> from the lowest <8482>

hell <7585>.

14 O God <0430>, the proud <2086> are risen <6965> against

<5921> me, and the assemblies <5712> of violent <6184> [men]

have sought <1245> after my soul <5315>; and have not set <7760>

thee before <5048> them.

15 But thou, O Lord <0136>, [art] a God <0410> full of

compassion <7349>, and gracious <2587>, longsuffering, and

plenteous <7227> in mercy <2617> and truth <0571>.

16 O turn <6437> unto me, and have mercy <2603> upon me; give

<5414> thy strength <5797> unto thy servant <5650>, and save

<3467> the son <1121> of thine handmaid <0519>.

17 Shew <6213> me a token <0226> for good <2896>; that they

which hate <8130> me may see <7200> [it], and be ashamed <0954>:

because <3588> thou, LORD <3068>, hast holpen <5826> me, and

comforted <5162> me.

Psalms 87

1. A Psalm <4210> [or] Song <7892> for the sons <1121> of Korah

<7141>. His foundation <3248> [is] in the holy <6944> mountains

<2042>.

2 The LORD <3068> loveth <0157> the gates <8179> of Zion <6726>

more than all <3605> the dwellings <4908> of Jacob <3290>.

3 Glorious <3513> things are spoken <1696> of thee, O city

<5892> of God <0430>. Selah <5542>.

4. I will make mention <2142> of Rahab <7294> and Babylon

<0894> to them that know <3045> me: behold <2009> Philistia

<6429>, and Tyre <6865>, with Ethiopia <3568>; this <2088> [man]

was born <3205> there <8033>.

5 And of Zion <6726> it shall be said <0559>, This and that man

<0376> was born <3205> in her: and the highest <5945> himself

<1931> shall establish <3559> her.

6 The LORD <3068> shall count <5608>, when he writeth <3789> up

the people <5971>, [that] this <2088> [man] was born <3205>

there <8033>. Selah <5542>.

7 As well the singers <7891> as the players <2490> on

instruments [shall be there]: all <3605> my springs <4599> [are]

in thee.

Psalms 88

1. A Song <7892> [or] Psalm <4210> for the sons <1121> of Korah

<7141>, to the chief Musician <5329> upon <5921> Mahalath <4257>

Leannoth <6031>, Maschil <7919> of Heman <1968> the Ezrahite

<0250>. O LORD <3068> God <0430> of my salvation <3444>, I have

cried <6817> day <3117> [and] night <3915> before <5048> thee:

2 Let my prayer <8605> come <0935> before <6440> thee: incline

<5186> thine ear <0241> unto my cry <7440>;

3 For my soul <5315> is full <7654> of troubles <7451>: and my

life <2416> draweth nigh <5060> unto the grave <7585>.

4 I am counted <2803> with them that go <3381> down <3381> into

the pit <0953>: I am <1961> as a man <1397> [that hath] no

<0369> strength <0353>:

5 Free <2670> among the dead <4191>, like <3644> the slain

<2491> that lie <7901> in the grave <6913>, whom <0834> thou

rememberest <2142> no <3808> more <5750>: and they are cut

<1504> off from thy hand <3027>.

6 Thou hast laid <7896> me in the lowest <8482> pit <0953>, in

darkness <4285>, in the deeps <4688>.

7 Thy wrath <2534> lieth <5564> hard <5564> upon me, and thou

hast afflicted <6031> [me] with all <3605> thy waves <4867>.

Selah <5542>.

8 Thou hast put <7368> away <7368> mine acquaintance <3045> far

<7368> from me; thou hast made <7896> me an abomination <8441>

unto them: [I am] shut <3607> up, and I cannot <3201> come

<3318> forth <3318>.

9 Mine eye <5869> mourneth <1669> by reason <4480> of

affliction <6040>: LORD <3068>, I have called <7121> daily upon

thee, I have stretched <7849> out my hands <3709> unto thee.

10. Wilt thou shew <6213> wonders <6382> to the dead <4191>?

shall the dead <7496> arise <6965> [and] praise <3034> thee?

Selah <5542>.

11 Shall thy lovingkindness <2617> be declared <5608> in the

grave <6913>? [or] thy faithfulness <0530> in destruction <11>?

12 Shall thy wonders <6382> be known <3045> in the dark <2822>?

and thy righteousness <6666> in the land <0776> of forgetfulness

<5388>?

13 But unto thee have I cried <7768>, O LORD <3068>; and in the

morning <1242> shall my prayer <8605> prevent <6923> thee.

14 LORD <3068>, why <4100> castest <2186> thou off my soul

<5315>? [why] hidest <5641> thou thy face <6440> from me?

15 I [am] afflicted <6041> and ready to die <1478> from [my]

youth <5290> up: [while] I suffer <5375> thy terrors <0367> I am

distracted <6323>.

16 Thy fierce wrath <2740> goeth <5674> over <5674> me; thy

terrors <1161> have cut <6789> me off.

17 They came <5437> round <5437> about me daily like water

<4325>; they compassed <5362> me about together <3162>.

18 Lover <0157> and friend <7453> hast thou put <7368> far

<7368> from me, [and] mine acquaintance <3045> into darkness

<4285>.

Psalms 89

1. Maschil <7919> of Ethan <0387> the Ezrahite <0250>. I will

sing <7891> of the mercies <2617> of the LORD <3068> for ever

<5769>: with my mouth <6310> will I make known <3045> thy

faithfulness <0530> to all generations <1755>.

2 For I have said <0559>, Mercy <2617> shall be built <1129> up

for ever <5769>: thy faithfulness <0530> shalt thou establish

<3559> in the very heavens <8064>.

3 I have made <3772> a covenant <1285> with my chosen <0972>, I

have sworn <7650> unto David <1732> my servant <5650>,

4 Thy seed <2233> will I establish <3559> for ever <5769>, and

build <1129> up thy throne <3678> to all generations <1755>.

Selah <5542>.

5. And the heavens <8064> shall praise <3034> thy wonders

<6382>, O LORD <3068>: thy faithfulness <0530> also <0637> in

the congregation <6951> of the saints <6918>.

6 For who <4310> in the heaven <7834> can be compared <6186>

unto the LORD <3068>? [who] among the sons <1121> of the mighty

<0410> can be likened <1819> unto the LORD <3068>?

7 God <0410> is greatly <7227> to be feared <6206> in the

assembly <5475> of the saints <6918>, and to be had in reverence

<3372> of all <3605> [them that are] about <5439> him.

8 O LORD <3050> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, who <4310> [is] a

strong <2626> LORD <3068> like <3644> unto thee? or to thy

faithfulness <0530> round <5439> about thee?

9 Thou rulest <4910> the raging <1348> of the sea <3220>: when

the waves <1530> thereof arise <7721>, thou stillest <7623> them.

10 Thou hast broken <1792> Rahab <7294> in pieces, as one that

is slain <2491>; thou hast scattered <6340> thine enemies <0341>

with thy strong <5797> arm <2220>.

11 The heavens <8064> [are] thine, the earth <0776> also <0637>

[is] thine: [as for] the world <8398> and the fulness <4393>

thereof, thou hast founded <3245> them.

12 The north <6828> and the south <3225> thou hast created

<1254> them: Tabor <8396> and Hermon <2768> shall rejoice <7442>

in thy name <8034>.

13 Thou hast a mighty <1369> arm <2220>: strong <5810> is thy

hand <3225>, [and] high <7311> is thy right <3225> hand <3225>.

14 Justice <6664> and judgment <4941> [are] the habitation

<4349> of thy throne <3678>: mercy <2617> and truth <0571> shall

go <6923> before thy face <6440>.

15. Blessed <0835> [is] the people <5971> that know <3045> the

joyful <8643> sound <8643>: they shall walk <1980>, O LORD

<3068>, in the light <0216> of thy countenance <6440>.

16 In thy name <8034> shall they rejoice <1523> all <3605> the

day <3117>: and in thy righteousness <6666> shall they be

exalted <7311>.

17 For thou [art] the glory <8597> of their strength <5797>:

and in thy favour <7522> our horn <7161> shall be exalted <7311>.

18 For the LORD <3068> [is] our defence <4043>; and the Holy

<6918> One of Israel <3478> [is] our king <4428>.

19. Then <0227> thou spakest <1696> in vision <2377> to thy

holy <2623> one, and saidst <0559>, I have laid <7737> help

<5828> upon [one that is] mighty <1368>; I have exalted <7311>

[one] chosen <0970> out of the people <5971>.

20 I have found <4672> David <1732> my servant <5650>; with my

holy <6944> oil <8081> have I anointed <4886> him:

21 With whom <0834> my hand <3027> shall be established <3559>:

mine arm <2220> also <0637> shall strengthen <0553> him.

22 The enemy <0341> shall not exact <5378> upon him; nor <3808>

the son <1121> of wickedness <5766> afflict <6031> him.

23 And I will beat <3807> down his foes <6862> before his face

<6440>, and plague <5063> them that hate <8130> him.

24 But my faithfulness <0530> and my mercy <2617> [shall be]

with him: and in my name <8034> shall his horn <7161> be exalted

<7311>.

25 I will set <7760> his hand <3027> also in the sea <3220>,

and his right <3225> hand <3225> in the rivers <5104>.

26 He shall cry <7121> unto me, Thou [art] my father <1>, my

God <0410>, and the rock <6697> of my salvation <3444>.

27 Also <0637> I will make <5414> him [my] firstborn <1060>,

higher <5945> than the kings <4428> of the earth <0776>.

28 My mercy <2617> will I keep <8104> for him for evermore

<5769>, and my covenant <1285> shall stand <0539> fast with him.

29 His seed <2233> also will I make <7760> [to endure] for ever

<5703>, and his throne <3678> as the days <3117> of heaven

<8064>.

30 If <0518> his children <1121> forsake <5800> my law <8451>,

and walk <3212> not in my judgments <4941>;

31 If <0518> they break <2490> my statutes <2708>, and keep

<8104> not my commandments <4687>;

32 Then will I visit <6485> their transgression <6588> with the

rod <7626>, and their iniquity <5771> with stripes <5061>.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness <2617> will I not utterly

take <6331> from him, nor <3808> suffer my faithfulness <0530>

to fail <8266>.

34 My covenant <1285> will I not break <2490>, nor <3808> alter

<8138> the thing that is gone <4161> out of my lips <8193>.

35 Once <0259> have I sworn <7650> by my holiness <6944> that I

will not lie <3576> unto David <1732>.

36 His seed <2233> shall endure <1961> for ever <5769>, and his

throne <3678> as the sun <8121> before <6440> me.

37 It shall be established <3559> for ever <5769> as the moon

<3394>, and [as] a faithful <0539> witness <5707> in heaven

<7834>. Selah <5542>.

38. But thou hast cast <2186> off and abhorred <3988>, thou

hast been wroth <5674> with thine anointed <4899>.

39 Thou hast made void <5010> the covenant <1285> of thy

servant <5650>: thou hast profaned <2490> his crown <5145> [by

casting it] to the ground <0776>.

40 Thou hast broken <6555> down all <3605> his hedges <1448>;

thou hast brought <7760> his strong <4013> holds <4013> to ruin

<4288>.

41 All <3605> that pass <5674> by the way <1870> spoil <8155>

him: he is a reproach <2781> to his neighbours <7934>.

42 Thou hast set <7311> up the right <3225> hand <3225> of his

adversaries <6862>; thou hast made all <3605> his enemies <0341>

to rejoice <8055>.

43 Thou hast also <0637> turned <7725> the edge <6697> of his

sword <2719>, and hast not made him to stand <6965> in the

battle <4421>.

44 Thou hast made his glory <2892> to cease <7673>, and cast

<4048> his throne <3678> down to the ground <0776>.

45 The days <3117> of his youth <5934> hast thou shortened

<7114>: thou hast covered <5844> him with shame <0955>. Selah

<5542>.

46 How <5704> long <5704>, LORD <3068>? wilt thou hide <5641>

thyself for ever <5331>? shall thy wrath <2534> burn <1197> like

fire <0784>?

47 Remember <2142> how <4100> short <2465> my time is:

wherefore <4100> hast thou made all <3605> men in vain <7723>?

48 What <4310> man <1397> [is he that] liveth <2421>, and shall

not see <7200> death <4194>? shall he deliver <4422> his soul

<5315> from the hand <3027> of the grave <7585>? Selah <5542>.

49 Lord <0136>, where <0346> [are] thy former <7223>

lovingkindnesses <2617>, [which] thou swarest <7650> unto David

<1732> in thy truth <0530>?

50 Remember <2142>, Lord <0136>, the reproach <2781> of thy

servants <5650>; [how] I do bear <5375> in my bosom <2436> [the

reproach of] all <3605> the mighty <7227> people <5971>;

51 Wherewith <0834> thine enemies <0341> have reproached <2778>,

O LORD <3068>; wherewith <0834> they have reproached <2778> the

footsteps <6119> of thine anointed <4899>.

52 Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> for evermore <5769>.

Amen <0543>, and Amen <0543>.

Psalms 90

1. A Prayer <8605> of Moses <4872> the man <0376> of God <0430>.

Lord <0136>, thou hast been <1961> our dwelling <4583> place in

all generations <1755>.

2 Before <2962> the mountains <2022> were brought <3205> forth

<3205>, or ever thou hadst formed <2342> the earth <0776> and

the world <8398>, even from everlasting <5769> to everlasting

<5769>, thou [art] God <0410>.

3 Thou turnest <7725> man <0582> to destruction <1793>; and

sayest <0559>, Return <7725>, ye children <1121> of men <0120>.

4 For a thousand <0505> years <8141> in thy sight <5869> [are

but] as yesterday <0865> when <3588> it is past <5674>, and [as]

a watch <0821> in the night <3915>.

5 Thou carriest <2229> them away as with a flood <2229>; they

are [as] a sleep <8142>: in the morning <1242> [they are] like

grass <2682> [which] groweth <2498> up.

6 In the morning <1242> it flourisheth <6692>, and groweth

<2498> up; in the evening <6153> it is cut <4135> down, and

withereth <3001>.

7. For we are consumed <3615> by thine anger <0639>, and by thy

wrath <2534> are we troubled <0926>.

8 Thou hast set <7896> our iniquities <5771> before <5048> thee,

our secret <5956> [sins] in the light <3974> of thy countenance

<6440>.

9 For all <3605> our days <3117> are passed <6437> away in thy

wrath <5678>: we spend <3615> our years <8141> as a tale <1899>

[that is told].

10 The days <3117> of our years <8141> [are] threescore <7657>

years <8141> and ten; and if <0518> by reason of strength <1369>

[they be] fourscore <8084> years <8141>, yet [is] their strength

<7296> labour <5999> and sorrow <0205>; for it is soon <2440>

cut <1504> off, and we fly <5774> away.

11 Who <4310> knoweth <3045> the power <5797> of thine anger

<0639>? even according to thy fear <3374>, [so is] thy wrath

<5678>.

12. So <3651> teach <3045> [us] to number <4487> our days

<3117>, that we may apply <0935> [our] hearts <3824> unto wisdom

<2451>.

13 Return <7725>, O LORD <3068>, how <5704> long <5704>? and

let it repent <5162> thee concerning <5921> thy servants <5650>.

14 O satisfy <7646> us early <1242> with thy mercy <2617>; that

we may rejoice <7442> and be glad <8056> all <3605> our days

<3117>.

15 Make us glad <8056> according to the days <3117> [wherein]

thou hast afflicted <6031> us, [and] the years <8141> [wherein]

we have seen <7200> evil <7451>.

16 Let thy work <6467> appear <7200> unto thy servants <5650>,

and thy glory <1926> unto their children <1121>.

17 And let the beauty <5278> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>

be upon us: and establish <3559> thou the work <4639> of our

hands <3027> upon us; yea, the work <4639> of our hands <3027>

establish <3559> thou it.

Psalms 91

1. He that dwelleth <3427> in the secret <5643> place of the

most <5945> High <5945> shall abide <3885> under the shadow

<6738> of the Almighty <7706>.

2 I will say <0559> of the LORD <3068>, [He is] my refuge

<4268> and my fortress <4686>: my God <0430>; in him will I

trust <0982>.

3 Surely <3588> he shall deliver <5337> thee from the snare

<6341> of the fowler <3353>, [and] from the noisome <1942>

pestilence <1698>.

4 He shall cover <5526> thee with his feathers <84>, and under

<8478> his wings <3671> shalt thou trust <2620>: his truth

<0571> [shall be thy] shield <6793> and buckler <5507>.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid <3372> for the terror <6343> by

night <3915>; [nor] for the arrow <2671> [that] flieth <5774> by

day <3119>;

6 [Nor] for the pestilence <1698> [that] walketh <1980> in

darkness <0952>; [nor] for the destruction <6986> [that] wasteth

<7736> at noonday <6672>.

7 A thousand <0505> shall fall <5307> at thy side <6654>, and

ten <7233> thousand <7233> at thy right <3225> hand <3225>;

[but] it shall not come <5066> nigh <5066> thee.

8 Only <7535> with thine eyes <5869> shalt thou behold <5027>

and see <7200> the reward <8011> of the wicked <7563>.

9. Because <3588> thou hast made <7760> the LORD <3068>, [which

is] my refuge <4268>, [even] the most <5945> High <5945>, thy

habitation <4583>;

10 There shall no <3808> evil <7451> befall <0579> thee,

neither <3808> shall any plague <5061> come <7126> nigh <7126>

thy dwelling <0168>.

11 For he shall give his angels <4397> charge <6680> over thee,

to keep <8104> thee in all <3605> thy ways <1870>.

12 They shall bear <5375> thee up in [their] hands <3709>, lest

<6435> thou dash <5062> thy foot <7272> against a stone <68>.

13 Thou shalt tread <1869> upon the lion <7826> and adder

<6620>: the young <3715> lion <3715> and the dragon <8577> shalt

thou trample <7429> under feet.

14 Because <3588> he hath set his love <2836> upon me,

therefore will I deliver <6403> him: I will set him on high

<7682>, because <3588> he hath known <3045> my name <8034>.

15 He shall call <7121> upon me, and I will answer <6030> him:

I [will be] with him in trouble <6869>; I will deliver <2502>

him, and honour <3515> him.

16 With long <0753> life <3117> will I satisfy <7646> him, and

shew <7200> him my salvation <3444>.

Psalms 92

1. A Psalm <4210> [or] Song <7892> for the sabbath <7676> day

<3117>. [It is a] good <2896> [thing] to give thanks <3034> unto

the LORD <3068>, and to sing <2167> praises unto thy name <8034>,

O most <5945> High <5945>:

2 To shew <5046> forth thy lovingkindness <2617> in the morning

<1242>, and thy faithfulness <0530> every night <3915>,

3 Upon an instrument of ten <6218> strings, and upon the

psaltery <5035>; upon the harp <3658> with a solemn sound <1902>.

4 For thou, LORD <3068>, hast made me glad <8056> through thy

work <6467>: I will triumph <7442> in the works <4639> of thy

hands <3027>.

5 O LORD <3068>, how <4100> great <1431> are thy works <4639>!

[and] thy thoughts <4284> are very <3966> deep <6009>.

6 A brutish <1197> man <0376> knoweth <3045> not; neither

<3808> doth a fool <3684> understand <0995> this <2063>.

7. When the wicked <7563> spring <6524> as the grass <6212>,

and when all <3605> the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205> do

flourish <6692>; [it is] that they shall be destroyed <8045> for

ever <5703>:

8 But thou, LORD <3068>, [art most] high <4791> for evermore

<5769>.

9 For, lo <2009>, thine enemies <0341>, O LORD <3068>, for, lo

<2009>, thine enemies <0341> shall perish <6>; all <3605> the

workers <6466> of iniquity <0205> shall be scattered <6504>.

10 But my horn <7161> shalt thou exalt <7311> like [the horn

of] an unicorn <7214>: I shall be anointed <1101> with fresh

<7488> oil <8081>.

11 Mine eye <5869> also shall see <5027> [my desire] on mine

enemies <7790>, [and] mine ears <0241> shall hear <8085> [my

desire] of the wicked <7489> that rise <6965> up against <5921>

me.

12 The righteous <6662> shall flourish <6524> like the palm

<8558> tree: he shall grow <7685> like a cedar <0730> in Lebanon

<3844>.

13 Those that be planted <8362> in the house <1004> of the LORD

<3068> shall flourish <6524> in the courts <2691> of our God

<0430>.

14 They shall still <5750> bring <5107> forth <5107> fruit

<5107> in old <7872> age <7872>; they shall be fat <1879> and

flourishing <7488>;

15 To shew <5046> that the LORD <3068> [is] upright <3477>: [he

is] my rock <6697>, and [there is] no <3808> unrighteousness

<5766> in him.

Psalms 93

1. The LORD <3068> reigneth <4427>, he is clothed <3847> with

majesty <1348>; the LORD <3068> is clothed <3847> with strength

<5797>, [wherewith] he hath girded <0247> himself: the world

<8398> also <0389> is stablished <3559>, that it cannot <1077>

be moved <4131>.

2 Thy throne <3678> [is] established <3559> of old <0227>: thou

[art] from everlasting <5769>.

3 The floods <5104> have lifted <5375> up, O LORD <3068>, the

floods <5104> have lifted <5375> up their voice <6963>; the

floods <5104> lift <5375> up their waves <1796>.

4 The LORD <3068> on high <4791> [is] mightier <0117> than the

noise <6963> of many <7227> waters <4325>, [yea, than] the

mighty <0117> waves <4867> of the sea <3220>.

5 Thy testimonies <5713> are very <3966> sure <0539>: holiness

<6944> becometh <4998> thine house <1004>, O LORD <3068>, for

ever.

Psalms 94

1. O LORD <3068> God <0410>, to whom vengeance <5360> belongeth;

O God <0410>, to whom vengeance <5360> belongeth, shew <3313>

thyself.

2 Lift <5375> up thyself, thou judge <8199> of the earth <0776>:

render <7725> a reward <1576> to the proud <1343>.

3 LORD <3068>, how <5704> long <5704> shall the wicked <7563>,

how <5704> long <5704> shall the wicked <7563> triumph <5937>?

4 [How long <5704>] shall they utter <5042> [and] speak <1696>

hard <6277> things? [and] all <3605> the workers <6466> of

iniquity <0205> boast <0559> themselves?

5 They break <1792> in pieces thy people <5971>, O LORD <3068>,

and afflict <6031> thine heritage <5159>.

6 They slay <2026> the widow <0490> and the stranger <1616>,

and murder <7523> the fatherless <3490>.

7 Yet they say <0559>, The LORD <3050> shall not see <7200>,

neither <3808> shall the God <0430> of Jacob <3290> regard

<0995> [it].

8 Understand <0995>, ye brutish <1197> among the people <5971>:

and [ye] fools <3684>, when <4970> will ye be wise <7919>?

9 He that planted <5193> the ear <0241>, shall he not hear

<8085>? he that formed <3335> the eye <5869>, shall he not see

<5027>?

10 He that chastiseth <3256> the heathen <1471>, shall not he

correct <3198>? he that teacheth <3925> man <0120> knowledge

<1847>, [shall not he know]?

11 The LORD <3068> knoweth <3045> the thoughts <4284> of man

<0120>, that they [are] vanity <1892>.

12. Blessed <0835> [is] the man <1397> whom <0834> thou

chastenest <3256>, O LORD <3050>, and teachest <3925> him out of

thy law <8451>;

13 That thou mayest give him rest <8252> from the days <3117>

of adversity <7451>, until <5704> the pit <7845> be digged

<3738> for the wicked <7563>.

14 For the LORD <3068> will not cast <5203> off his people

<5971>, neither <3808> will he forsake <5800> his inheritance

<5159>.

15 But judgment <4941> shall return <7725> unto righteousness

<6664>: and all <3605> the upright <3477> in heart <3820> shall

follow <0310> it.

16 Who <4310> will rise <6965> up for me against <5973> the

evildoers <7489>? [or] who <4310> will stand <3320> up for me

against <5973> the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>?

17 Unless <3884> the LORD <3068> [had been] my help <5833>, my

soul <5315> had almost <4592> dwelt <7931> in silence <1745>.

18 When <0518> I said <0559>, My foot <7272> slippeth <4131>;

thy mercy <2617>, O LORD <3068>, held <5582> me up.

19 In the multitude <7230> of my thoughts <8312> within <7130>

me thy comforts <8575> delight <8173> my soul <5315>.

20 Shall the throne <3678> of iniquity <1942> have fellowship

<2266> with thee, which frameth <3335> mischief <5999> by a law

<2706>?

21 They gather <1413> themselves together against <5921> the

soul <5315> of the righteous <6662>, and condemn <7561> the

innocent <5355> blood <1818>.

22 But the LORD <3068> is my defence <4869>; and my God <0430>

[is] the rock <6697> of my refuge <4268>.

23 And he shall bring <7725> upon them their own iniquity

<0205>, and shall cut <6789> them off in their own wickedness

<7451>; [yea], the LORD <3068> our God <0430> shall cut <6789>

them off.

Psalms 95

1. O come <3212>, let us sing <7442> unto the LORD <3068>: let

us make a joyful noise to the rock <6697> of our salvation

<3468>.

2 Let us come <6923> before <6924> his presence <6440> with

thanksgiving <8426>, and make a joyful noise unto him with

psalms <2158>.

3 For the LORD <3068> [is] a great <1419> God <0410>, and a

great <1419> King <4428> above <5921> all <3605> gods <0430>.

4 In his hand <3027> [are] the deep <4278> places of the earth

<0776>: the strength <8443> of the hills <2022> [is] his also.

5 The sea <3220> [is] his, and he made <6213> it: and his hands

<3027> formed <3335> the dry <3006> [land].

6 O come <0935>, let us worship <7812> and bow <3766> down

<3766>: let us kneel <1288> before <6440> the LORD <3068> our

maker <6213>.

7. For he [is] our God <0430>; and we [are] the people <5971>

of his pasture <4830>, and the sheep <6629> of his hand <3027>.

To day <3117> if <0518> ye will hear <8085> his voice <6963>,

8 Harden <7185> not your heart <3824>, as in the provocation

<4808>, [and] as [in] the day <3117> of temptation <4531> in the

wilderness <4057>:

9 When <0834> your fathers <1> tempted <5254> me, proved <0974>

me, and saw <7200> my work <6467>.

10 Forty <0705> years <8141> long was I grieved <6362> with

[this] generation <1755>, and said <0559>, It [is] a people

<5971> that do err <8582> in their heart <3824>, and they have

not known <3045> my ways <1870>:

11 Unto whom <0834> I sware <7650> in my wrath <0639> that they

should not enter <0935> into <0413> my rest <4496>.

Psalms 96

1. O sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068> a new <2319> song <7892>:

sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068>, all <3605> the earth <0776>.

2 Sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068>, bless <1288> his name

<8034>; shew <1319> forth his salvation <3444> from day <3117>

to day <3117>.

3 Declare <5608> his glory <3519> among the heathen <1471>, his

wonders <6381> among all <3605> people <5971>.

4 For the LORD <3068> [is] great <1419>, and greatly <3966> to

be praised <1984>: he [is] to be feared <3372> above <5921> all

<3605> gods <0430>.

5 For all <3605> the gods <0430> of the nations <5971> [are]

idols <0457>: but the LORD <3068> made <6213> the heavens <8064>.

6 Honour <1935> and majesty <1926> [are] before <6440> him:

strength <5797> and beauty <8597> [are] in his sanctuary <4720>.

7 Give <3051> unto the LORD <3068>, O ye kindreds <4940> of the

people <5971>, give <3051> unto the LORD <3068> glory <3519> and

strength <5797>.

8 Give <3051> unto the LORD <3068> the glory <3519> [due unto]

his name <8034>: bring <5375> an offering <4503>, and come

<0935> into his courts <2691>.

9 O worship <7812> the LORD <3068> in the beauty <1927> of

holiness <6944>: fear <2342> before <6440> him, all <3605> the

earth <0776>.

10. Say <0559> among the heathen <1471> [that] the LORD <3068>

reigneth <4427>: the world <8398> also <0637> shall be

established <3559> that it shall not be moved <4131>: he shall

judge <1777> the people <5971> righteously <4339>.

11 Let the heavens <8064> rejoice <8056>, and let the earth

<0776> be glad <1523>; let the sea <3220> roar <7580>, and the

fulness <4393> thereof.

12 Let the field <7704> be joyful <5937>, and all <3605> that

[is] therein: then <0227> shall all <3605> the trees <6086> of

the wood <3293> rejoice <7442>

13 Before <6440> the LORD <3068>: for he cometh <0935>, for he

cometh <0935> to judge <8199> the earth <0776>: he shall judge

<8199> the world <8398> with righteousness <6664>, and the

people <5971> with his truth <0530>.

Psalms 97

1. The LORD <3068> reigneth <4427>; let the earth <0776>

rejoice <1523>; let the multitude <7227> of isles <0339> be glad

<8056> [thereof].

2 Clouds <6051> and darkness <6205> [are] round <5439> about

him: righteousness <6664> and judgment <4941> [are] the

habitation <4349> of his throne <3678>.

3 A fire <0784> goeth <3212> before <6440> him, and burneth

<3857> up his enemies <6862> round <5439> about.

4 His lightnings <1300> enlightened <0215> the world <8398>:

the earth <0776> saw <7200>, and trembled <2342>.

5 The hills <2022> melted <4549> like wax <1749> at the

presence <6440> of the LORD <0113>, at the presence <6440> of

the Lord <3068> of the whole <3605> earth <0776>.

6 The heavens <8064> declare <5046> his righteousness <6664>,

and all <3605> the people <5971> see <7200> his glory <3519>.

7 Confounded <0954> be all <3605> they that serve <5647> graven

<6459> images, that boast <1984> themselves of idols <0457>:

worship <7812> him, all <3605> [ye] gods <0430>.

8. Zion <6726> heard <8085>, and was glad <8056>; and the

daughters <1121> of Judah <3063> rejoiced <1523> because <4616>

of thy judgments <4941>, O LORD <3068>.

9 For thou, LORD <3068>, [art] high <5945> above <5921> all

<3605> the earth <0776>: thou art exalted <5927> far <3966>

above <5921> all <3605> gods <0430>.

10 Ye that love <0157> the LORD <3068>, hate <8130> evil <7451>:

he preserveth <8104> the souls <5315> of his saints <2623>; he

delivereth <5337> them out of the hand <3027> of the wicked

<7563>.

11 Light <0216> is sown <2232> for the righteous <6662>, and

gladness <8057> for the upright <3477> in heart <3820>.

12 Rejoice <8055> in the LORD <3068>, ye righteous <6662>; and

give thanks <3034> at the remembrance <2143> of his holiness

<6944>.

Psalms 98

1. A Psalm <4210>. O sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068> a new

<2319> song <7892>; for he hath done <6213> marvellous <6381>

things: his right <3225> hand <3225>, and his holy <6944> arm

<2220>, hath gotten him the victory <3467>.

2 The LORD <3068> hath made known <3045> his salvation <3444>:

his righteousness <6666> hath he openly shewed <1540> in the

sight <5869> of the heathen <1471>.

3 He hath remembered <2142> his mercy <2617> and his truth

<0530> toward the house <1004> of Israel <3478>: all <3605> the

ends <0657> of the earth <0776> have seen <7200> the salvation

<3444> of our God <0430>.

4. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD <3068>, all <3605> the

earth <0776>: make a loud noise <6476>, and rejoice <7442>, and

sing <2167> praise.

5 Sing <2167> unto the LORD <3068> with the harp <3658>; with

the harp <3658>, and the voice <6963> of a psalm <2172>.

6 With trumpets <2689> and sound <6963> of cornet <7782> make a

joyful noise before <6440> the LORD <3068>, the King <4428>.

7 Let the sea <3220> roar <7481>, and the fulness <4393>

thereof; the world <8398>, and they that dwell <3427> therein.

8 Let the floods <5104> clap <4222> [their] hands <3709>: let

the hills <2022> be joyful <7442> together <3162>

9 Before <6440> the LORD <3068>; for he cometh <0935> to judge

<8199> the earth <0776>: with righteousness <6664> shall he

judge <8199> the world <8398>, and the people <5971> with equity

<4339>.

Psalms 99

1. The LORD <3068> reigneth <4427>; let the people <5971>

tremble <7264>: he sitteth <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>;

let the earth <0776> be moved <5120>.

2 The LORD <3068> [is] great <1419> in Zion <6726>; and he [is]

high <7311> above <5921> all <3605> the people <5971>.

3 Let them praise <3034> thy great <1419> and terrible <3372>

name <8034>; [for] it [is] holy <6918>.

4 The king's <4428> strength <5797> also loveth <0157> judgment

<4941>; thou dost establish <3559> equity <4339>, thou executest

<6213> judgment <4941> and righteousness <6666> in Jacob <3290>.

5 Exalt <7311> ye the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, and worship

<7812> at his footstool; [for] he [is] holy <6918>.

6. Moses <4872> and Aaron <0175> among his priests <3548>, and

Samuel <8050> among them that call <7121> upon his name <8034>;

they called <7121> upon the LORD <3068>, and he answered <6030>

them.

7 He spake <1696> unto them in the cloudy <6051> pillar <5982>:

they kept <8104> his testimonies <5713>, and the ordinance

<2706> [that] he gave <5414> them.

8 Thou answeredst <6030> them, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>:

thou wast <1961> a God <0410> that forgavest <5375> them, though

thou tookest vengeance <5358> of their inventions <5949>.

9 Exalt <7311> the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, and worship

<7812> at his holy <6944> hill <2022>; for the LORD <3068> our

God <0430> [is] holy <6918>.

Psalms 100

1. A Psalm <4210> of praise <8426>. Make a joyful <7321> noise

<7321> unto the LORD <3068>, all <3605> ye lands <0776>.

2 Serve <5647> the LORD <3068> with gladness <8057>: come

<0935> before his presence <6440> with singing <7445>.

3 Know <3045> ye that the LORD <3068> he [is] God <0430>: [it

is] he [that] hath made <6213> us, and not we ourselves <0587>;

[we are] his people <5971>, and the sheep <6629> of his pasture

<4830>.

4 Enter <0935> into his gates <8179> with thanksgiving <8426>,

[and] into his courts <2691> with praise <8416>: be thankful

<3034> unto him, [and] bless <1288> his name <8034>.

5 For the LORD <3068> [is] good <2896>; his mercy <2617> [is]

everlasting <5769>; and his truth <0530> [endureth] to all

generations <1755>.

Psalms 101

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. I will sing <7891> of mercy

<2617> and judgment <4941>: unto thee, O LORD <3068>, will I

sing <2167>.

2 I will behave <7919> myself wisely <7919> in a perfect <8549>

way <1870>. O when <4970> wilt thou come <0935> unto me? I will

walk <1980> within <7130> my house <1004> with a perfect <8537>

heart <3824>.

3 I will set <7896> no <3808> wicked <1100> thing <1697> before

<6440> mine eyes <5869>: I hate <8130> the work <6213> of them

that turn <7750> aside <7750>; [it] shall not cleave <1692> to

me.

4 A froward <6141> heart <3820> shall depart <5493> from me: I

will not know <3045> a wicked <7451> [person].

5 Whoso privily <5643> slandereth <3960> his neighbour <7453>,

him will I cut <6789> off: him that hath an high <1362> look

<5869> and a proud <7342> heart <3824> will not I suffer <3201>.

6 Mine eyes <5869> [shall be] upon the faithful <0539> of the

land <0776>, that they may dwell <3427> with me: he that walketh

<1980> in a perfect <8549> way <1870>, he shall serve <8334> me.

7 He that worketh <6213> deceit <7423> shall not dwell <3427>

within <7130> my house <1004>: he that telleth <1696> lies

<8267> shall not tarry <3559> in my sight <5869>.

8 I will early <1242> destroy <6789> all <3605> the wicked

<7563> of the land <0776>; that I may cut <3772> off all <3605>

wicked <0205> doers <6466> from the city <5892> of the LORD

<3068>.

Psalms 102

1. A Prayer <8605> of the afflicted <6041>, when he is

overwhelmed <5848>, and poureth out <8210> his complaint <7879>

before the LORD <3068>. Hear <8085> my prayer <8605>, O LORD

<3068>, and let my cry <7775> come <0935> unto thee.

2 Hide <5641> not thy face <6440> from me in the day <3117>

[when] I am in trouble <6862>; incline <5186> thine ear <0241>

unto me: in the day <3117> [when] I call <7121> answer <6030> me

speedily <4118>.

3 For my days <3117> are consumed <3615> like smoke <6227>, and

my bones <6106> are burned <2787> as an hearth <4168>.

4 My heart <3824> is smitten <5221>, and withered <3001> like

grass <6212>; so that I forget <7911> to eat <0398> my bread

<3899>.

5 By reason of the voice <6963> of my groaning <0585> my bones

<6106> cleave <1692> to my skin <1320>.

6 I am <1961> like <1819> a pelican <6893> of the wilderness

<4057>: I am <1961> like an owl <3563> of the desert <2723>.

7 I watch <8245>, and am as a sparrow <6833> alone <0909> upon

the house top <1406>.

8 Mine enemies <0341> reproach <2778> me all <3605> the day

<3117>; [and] they that are mad <1984> against me are sworn

<7650> against me.

9 For I have eaten <0398> ashes <0665> like bread <3899>, and

mingled <4537> my drink <8249> with weeping <1065>,

10 Because <6440> of thine indignation <2195> and thy wrath

<7110>: for thou hast lifted <5375> me up, and cast <7993> me

down.

11 My days <3117> [are] like a shadow <6738> that declineth

<5186>; and I am withered <3001> like grass <6212>.

12. But thou, O LORD <3068>, shalt endure <3427> for ever

<5769>; and thy remembrance <2143> unto all generations <1755>.

13 Thou shalt arise <6965>, [and] have mercy <7355> upon Zion

<6726>: for the time <6256> to favour <2603> her, yea <3588>,

the set time, is come <0935>.

14 For thy servants <5650> take pleasure <7521> in her stones

<68>, and favour <2603> the dust <6083> thereof.

15 So the heathen <1471> shall fear <3372> the name <8034> of

the LORD <3068>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of the earth

<0776> thy glory <3519>.

16 When <3588> the LORD <3068> shall build <1129> up Zion

<6726>, he shall appear <7200> in his glory <3519>.

17 He will regard <6437> the prayer <8605> of the destitute

<6199>, and not despise <0959> their prayer <8605>.

18 This <2088> shall be written <3789> for the generation

<1755> to come <0314>: and the people <5971> which shall be

created <1254> shall praise <1984> the LORD <3068>.

19 For he hath looked <8259> down from the height <4791> of his

sanctuary <6944>; from heaven <8064> did the LORD <3068> behold

<5027> the earth <0776>;

20 To hear <8085> the groaning <0603> of the prisoner <0615>;

to loose <6605> those that are appointed <1121> to death <8546>;

21 To declare <5608> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> in Zion

<6726>, and his praise <8416> in Jerusalem <3389>;

22 When the people <5971> are gathered <6908> together <3162>,

and the kingdoms <4467>, to serve <5647> the LORD <3068>.

23. He weakened <6031> my strength <3581> in the way <1870>; he

shortened <7114> my days <3117>.

24 I said <0559>, O my God <0410>, take <5927> me not away in

the midst <2677> of my days <3117>: thy years <8141> [are]

throughout all generations <1755>.

25 Of old <6440> hast thou laid the foundation <3245> of the

earth <0776>: and the heavens <8064> [are] the work <4639> of

thy hands <3027>.

26 They shall perish <6>, but thou shalt endure <5875>: yea,

all <3605> of them shall wax old <1086> like <1819> a garment

<0899>; as a vesture <3830> shalt thou change <2498> them, and

they shall be changed <2498>:

27 But thou [art] the same <1931>, and thy years <8141> shall

have no <3808> end <8552>.

28 The children <1121> of thy servants <5650> shall continue

<7931>, and their seed <2233> shall be established <3559> before

<6440> thee.

Psalms 103

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O

my soul <5315>: and all <3605> that is within <7130> me, [bless]

his holy <6944> name <8034>.

2 Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O my soul <5315>, and forget

<7911> not all <3605> his benefits <1576>:

3 Who forgiveth <5545> all <3605> thine iniquities <5771>; who

healeth <7495> all <3605> thy diseases <8463>;

4 Who redeemeth <1350> thy life <2416> from destruction <7845>;

who crowneth <5849> thee with lovingkindness <2617> and tender

mercies <7356>;

5 Who satisfieth <7646> thy mouth <5716> with good <2896>

[things; so that] thy youth <5271> is renewed <2318> like the

eagle's <5404>.

6. The LORD <3068> executeth <6213> righteousness <6666> and

judgment <4941> for all <3605> that are oppressed <6231>.

7 He made known <3045> his ways <1870> unto Moses <4872>, his

acts <5949> unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

8 The LORD <3068> [is] merciful <7349> and gracious <2587>,

slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and plenteous <7227> in mercy

<2617>.

9 He will not always <5331> chide <7378>: neither <3808> will

he keep <5201> [his anger <0639>] for ever <5769>.

10 He hath not dealt <6213> with us after our sins <2399>; nor

<3808> rewarded <1580> us according to our iniquities <5771>.

11 For as the heaven <8064> is high <1361> above <5921> the

earth <0776>, [so] great <1396> is his mercy <2617> toward

<5921> them that fear <3373> him.

12 As far <7350> as the east <4217> is from the west <4628>,

[so] far <7350> hath he removed <7368> our transgressions <6588>

from us.

13 Like as a father <1> pitieth <7355> [his] children <1121>,

[so] the LORD <3068> pitieth <7355> them that fear <3373> him.

14 For he knoweth <3045> our frame <3336>; he remembereth

<2142> that we [are] dust <6083>.

15 [As for] man <0582>, his days <3117> [are] as grass <2682>:

as a flower <6731> of the field <7704>, so he flourisheth <6692>.

16 For the wind <7307> passeth <5674> over <5674> it, and it is

gone <0369>; and the place <4725> thereof shall know <5234> it

no <3808> more <5750>.

17 But the mercy <2617> of the LORD <3068> [is] from

everlasting <5769> to everlasting <5769> upon them that fear

<3373> him, and his righteousness <6666> unto children's <1121>

children <1121>;

18 To such as keep <8104> his covenant <1285>, and to those

that remember <2142> his commandments <6490> to do <6213> them.

19. The LORD <3068> hath prepared <3559> his throne <3678> in

the heavens <8064>; and his kingdom <4438> ruleth <4910> over

all <3605>.

20 Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, ye his angels <4397>, that

excel <1368> in strength <3581>, that do <6213> his commandments

<1697>, hearkening <8085> unto the voice <6963> of his word

<1697>.

21 Bless <1288> ye the LORD <3068>, all <3605> [ye] his hosts

<6635>; [ye] ministers <8334> of his, that do <6213> his

pleasure <7522>.

22 Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, all <3605> his works <4639> in

all <3605> places <4725> of his dominion <4475>: bless <1288>

the LORD <3068>, O my soul <5315>.

Psalms 104

1. Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O my soul <5315>. O LORD

<3068> my God <0430>, thou art very <3966> great <1431>; thou

art clothed <3847> with honour <1935> and majesty <1926>.

2 Who coverest <5844> [thyself] with light <0216> as [with] a

garment <8008>: who stretchest <5186> out the heavens <8064>

like a curtain <3407>:

3 Who layeth <7760> the beams <7136> of his chambers <5944> in

the waters <4325>: who maketh <7706> the clouds <5645> his

chariot <7398>: who walketh <1980> upon the wings <3671> of the

wind <7307>:

4 Who maketh <6213> his angels <4397> spirits <7307>; his

ministers <8334> a flaming <3857> fire <0784>:

5 [Who] laid the foundations <4349> of the earth <0776>, [that]

it should not be removed <4131> for ever.

6 Thou coveredst <3680> it with the deep <8415> as [with] a

garment <3830>: the waters <4325> stood <5975> above <5921> the

mountains <2022>.

7 At <4480> thy rebuke <1606> they fled <5127>; at <4480> the

voice <6963> of thy thunder <7482> they hasted <2648> away.

8 They go <5927> up by the mountains <2022>; they go <3381>

down <3381> by the valleys <1237> unto the place <4725> which

<2088> thou hast founded <3245> for them.

9 Thou hast set <7760> a bound <1366> that they may not pass

<5674> over <5674>; that they turn <7725> not again <7725> to

cover <3680> the earth <0776>.

10. He sendeth <7971> the springs <4599> into the valleys

<5158>, [which] run <1980> among <0996> the hills <2022>.

11 They give drink <8248> to every <3605> beast <2416> of the

field <7704>: the wild <6501> asses <6501> quench <7665> their

thirst <6772>.

12 By them shall the fowls <5775> of the heaven <8064> have

their habitation <7931>, [which] sing among <0996> the branches

<6073>.

13 He watereth <8248> the hills <2022> from his chambers <5944>:

the earth <0776> is satisfied <7646> with the fruit <6529> of

thy works <4639>.

14 He causeth the grass <2682> to grow <6779> for the cattle

<0929>, and herb <6212> for the service <5656> of man <0120>:

that he may bring <3318> forth <3318> food <3899> out of the

earth <0776>;

15 And wine <3196> [that] maketh glad <8056> the heart <3824>

of man <0582>, [and] oil <8081> to make [his] face <6440> to

shine <6670>, and bread <3899> [which] strengtheneth <5582>

man's <0582> heart <3824>.

16 The trees <6086> of the LORD <3068> are full <7654> [of sap];

the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <3844>, which <0834> he hath

planted <5193>;

17 Where the birds <6833> make their nests <7077>: [as for] the

stork <2624>, the fir <1265> trees [are] her house <1004>.

18 The high <1364> hills <2022> [are] a refuge <4268> for the

wild <3277> goats <3277>; [and] the rocks <5553> for the conies

<8226>.

19. He appointed <6213> the moon <3394> for seasons <4150>: the

sun <8121> knoweth <3045> his going <3996> down.

20 Thou makest <7896> darkness <2822>, and it is night <3915>:

wherein all <3605> the beasts <2416> of the forest <3293> do

creep <7430> [forth].

21 The young <3715> lions <3715> roar <7580> after their prey

<2964>, and seek <1245> their meat <0400> from God <0410>.

22 The sun <8121> ariseth <2224>, they gather <0622> themselves

together, and lay <7257> them down <7257> in their dens <4585>.

23 Man <0120> goeth <3318> forth <3318> unto his work <6467>

and to his labour <5656> until <5704> the evening <6153>.

24 O LORD <3068>, how <4100> manifold <7231> are thy works

<4639>! in wisdom <2451> hast thou made <6213> them all <3605>:

the earth <0776> is full <4390> of thy riches <7075>.

25 [So is] this <2088> great <1419> and wide sea <3220>,

wherein <8033> [are] things creeping <7431> innumerable, both

small <6996> and great <1419> beasts <2416>.

26 There <8033> go <1980> the ships <0591>: [there is] that

leviathan <3882>, [whom] thou hast made <3335> to play <7832>

therein.

27 These wait <7663> all <3605> upon thee; that thou mayest

give <5414> [them] their meat <0400> in due season <6256>.

28 [That] thou givest <5414> them they gather <3950>: thou

openest <6605> thine hand <3027>, they are filled <7646> with

good <2896>.

29 Thou hidest <5641> thy face <6440>, they are troubled <0926>:

thou takest <0622> away their breath <7307>, they die <1478>,

and return <7725> to their dust <6083>.

30 Thou sendest <7971> forth thy spirit <7307>, they are

created <1254>: and thou renewest <2318> the face <6440> of the

earth <0127>.

31. The glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> shall endure <1961> for

ever <5769>: the LORD <3068> shall rejoice <8055> in his works

<4639>.

32 He looketh <5027> on the earth <0776>, and it trembleth

<7460>: he toucheth <5060> the hills <2022>, and they smoke

<6225>.

33 I will sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068> as long <5704> as I

live <2416>: I will sing <2167> praise to my God <0430> while

<5750> I have my being <5750>.

34 My meditation <7879> of him shall be sweet <6148>: I will be

glad <8056> in the LORD <3068>.

35 Let the sinners <2400> be consumed <8552> out of the earth

<0776>, and let the wicked <7563> be no <0369> more <5750>.

Bless <1288> thou the LORD <3050>, O my soul <5315>. Praise

<1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 105

1. O give thanks <3034> unto the LORD <3050>; call <7121> upon

his name <8034>: make known <3045> his deeds <5949> among the

people <5971>.

2 Sing <7891> unto him, sing <2167> psalms <2167> unto him:

talk <7878> ye of all <3605> his wondrous <6381> works.

3 Glory <1984> ye in his holy <6944> name <8034>: let the heart

<3820> of them rejoice <8055> that seek <1245> the LORD <3050>.

4 Seek <1875> the LORD <3050>, and his strength <5797>: seek

<1245> his face <6440> evermore <8548>.

5 Remember <2142> his marvellous <6381> works that he hath done

<6213>; his wonders <4159>, and the judgments <4941> of his

mouth <6310>;

6 O ye seed <2233> of Abraham <85> his servant <5650>, ye

children <1121> of Jacob <3290> his chosen <0972>.

7 He [is] the LORD <3050> our God <0430>: his judgments <4941>

[are] in all <3605> the earth <0776>.

8. He hath remembered <2142> his covenant <1285> for ever

<5769>, the word <1697> [which] he commanded <6680> to a

thousand <0505> generations <1755>.

9 Which <0834> [covenant] he made <3772> with Abraham <85>, and

his oath <7621> unto Isaac <3446>;

10 And confirmed <5975> the same unto Jacob <3290> for a law

<2706>, [and] to Israel <3478> [for] an everlasting <5769>

covenant <1285>:

11 Saying <0559>, Unto thee will I give <5414> the land <0776>

of Canaan <3667>, the lot <2256> of your inheritance <5159>:

12 When they were [but] a few <4962> men <4962> in number

<4557>; yea, very few <4592>, and strangers <1481> in it.

13 When they went <1980> from one nation <1471> to another,

from [one] kingdom <4467> to another <0312> people <5971>;

14 He suffered <3240> no <3808> man <0120> to do them wrong

<6231>: yea, he reproved <3198> kings <4428> for their sakes

<5921>;

15 [Saying], Touch <5060> not mine anointed <4899>, and do my

prophets <5030> no <0408> harm <7489>.

16 Moreover he called <7121> for a famine <7458> upon the land

<0776>: he brake <7665> the whole <3605> staff <4294> of bread

<3899>.

17 He sent <7971> a man <0376> before <6440> them, [even]

Joseph <3130>, [who] was sold <4376> for a servant <5650>:

18 Whose feet <7272> they hurt <6031> with fetters <3525>: he

was laid <0935> in iron <1270>:

19 Until <5704> the time <6256> that his word <1697> came

<0935>: the word <0565> of the LORD <3050> tried <6884> him.

20 The king <4428> sent <7971> and loosed <5425> him; [even]

the ruler <4910> of the people <5971>, and let him go free

<6605>.

21 He made <7760> him lord <3050> of his house <1004>, and

ruler <4910> of all <3605> his substance <7075>:

22 To bind <0631> his princes <8269> at his pleasure <5315>;

and teach his senators <2205> wisdom <2449>.

23 Israel <3478> also came <0935> into Egypt <4714>; and Jacob

<3290> sojourned <1481> in the land <0776> of Ham <2526>.

24 And he increased <6509> his people <5971> greatly <3966>;

and made them stronger <6105> than their enemies <6862>.

25. He turned <2015> their heart <3820> to hate <8130> his

people <5971>, to deal subtilly <5230> with his servants <5650>.

26 He sent <7971> Moses <4872> his servant <5650>; [and] Aaron

<0175> whom <0834> he had chosen <0977>.

27 They shewed <7760> his signs <0226> among them, and wonders

<4159> in the land <0776> of Ham <2526>.

28 He sent <7971> darkness <2822>, and made it dark <2821>; and

they rebelled <4784> not against his word <1697>.

29 He turned <2015> their waters <4325> into blood <1818>, and

slew <4191> their fish <1710>.

30 Their land <0776> brought <8317> forth <8317> frogs <6854>

in abundance <8317>, in the chambers <2315> of their kings

<4428>.

31 He spake <0559>, and there came <0935> divers sorts of flies

<6157>, [and] lice <3654> in all <3605> their coasts <1366>.

32 He gave <5414> them hail <1259> for rain <1653>, [and]

flaming <3852> fire <0784> in their land <0776>.

33 He smote <5221> their vines <1612> also and their fig <8384>

trees; and brake <7665> the trees <6086> of their coasts <1366>.

34 He spake <0559>, and the locusts <0697> came <0935>, and

caterpillers <3218>, and that without <0369> number <4557>,

35 And did eat <0398> up all <3605> the herbs <6212> in their

land <0776>, and devoured <0398> the fruit <6529> of their

ground <0127>.

36 He smote <5221> also all <3605> the firstborn <1060> in

their land <0776>, the chief <7725> of all <3605> their strength

<0202>.

37 He brought <3318> them forth <3318> also with silver <3701>

and gold <2091>: and [there was] not one feeble <3782> [person]

among their tribes <7626>.

38 Egypt <4714> was glad <8056> when they departed <3318>: for

the fear <6343> of them fell <5307> upon them.

39 He spread <6566> a cloud <6051> for a covering <4539>; and

fire <0784> to give light <0216> in the night <3915>.

40 [The people] asked <7592>, and he brought <0935> quails

<7958>, and satisfied <7649> them with the bread <3899> of

heaven <8064>.

41 He opened <6605> the rock <6697>, and the waters <4325>

gushed <2100> out; they ran <1980> in the dry <6723> places

[like] a river <5104>.

42 For he remembered <2142> his holy <6944> promise <1697>,

[and] Abraham <85> his servant <5650>.

43 And he brought <3318> forth <3318> his people <5971> with

joy <8342>, [and] his chosen <0972> with gladness <7440>:

44 And gave <5414> them the lands <0776> of the heathen <1471>:

and they inherited <3423> the labour <5999> of the people <3816>;

45 That they might observe <8104> his statutes <2706>, and keep

<5341> his laws <8541>. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 106

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. O give thanks <3034> unto

the LORD <3068>; for [he is] good <2896>: for his mercy <2617>

[endureth] for ever <5769>.

2 Who <4310> can utter <4448> the mighty <1369> acts of the

LORD <3068>? [who] can shew <8085> forth all <3605> his praise

<8416>?

3 Blessed <0835> [are] they that keep <8104> judgment <4941>,

[and] he that doeth <6213> righteousness <6666> at all <3605>

times <6256>.

4 Remember <2142> me, O LORD <3068>, with the favour <7522>

[that thou bearest unto] thy people <5971>: O visit <6485> me

with thy salvation <3444>;

5 That I may see <7200> the good <2896> of thy chosen <0972>,

that I may rejoice <8055> in the gladness <8057> of thy nation

<1471>, that I may glory <1984> with thine inheritance <5159>.

6. We have sinned <2398> with our fathers <1>, we have

committed <5753> iniquity <5753>, we have done <6213> wickedly

<7561>.

7 Our fathers <1> understood <7919> not thy wonders <6381> in

Egypt <4714>; they remembered <2142> not the multitude <7230> of

thy mercies <2617>; but provoked <4784> [him] at <5921> the sea

<3220>, [even] at <5921> the Red <5488> sea <3220>.

8 Nevertheless he saved <3467> them for his name's <8034> sake

<4616>, that he might make his mighty <1369> power <1369> to be

known <3045>.

9 He rebuked <1605> the Red <5488> sea <3220> also, and it was

dried <2717> up: so he led <3212> them through the depths <8415>,

as through the wilderness <4057>.

10 And he saved <3467> them from the hand <3027> of him that

hated <8130> [them], and redeemed <1350> them from the hand

<3027> of the enemy <0341>.

11 And the waters <4325> covered <3680> their enemies <6862>:

there was not one <0259> of them left <3498>.

12 Then believed <0539> they his words <1697>; they sang <7891>

his praise <8416>.

13. They soon <4116> forgat <7911> his works <4639>; they

waited <2442> not for his counsel <6098>:

14 But lusted <0183> exceedingly in the wilderness <4057>, and

tempted <5254> God <0410> in the desert <3452>.

15 And he gave <5414> them their request <7596>; but sent

<7971> leanness <7332> into their soul <5315>.

16 They envied <7065> Moses <4872> also in the camp <4264>,

[and] Aaron <0175> the saint <6918> of the LORD <3068>.

17 The earth <0776> opened <6605> and swallowed <1104> up

Dathan <1885>, and covered <3680> the company <5712> of Abiram

<48>.

18 And a fire <0784> was kindled <1197> in their company <5712>;

the flame <3852> burned <3857> up the wicked <7563>.

19 They made <6213> a calf <5695> in Horeb <2722>, and

worshipped <7812> the molten <4541> image.

20 Thus they changed <4171> their glory <3519> into the

similitude <8403> of an ox <7794> that eateth <0398> grass

<6212>.

21 They forgat <7911> God <0410> their saviour <3467>, which

had done great <1419> things in Egypt <4714>;

22 Wondrous <6381> works in the land <0776> of Ham <2526>,

[and] terrible <3372> things by the Red <5488> sea <3220>.

23 Therefore he said <0559> that he would destroy <8045> them,

had <3884> not Moses <4872> his chosen <0972> stood <5975>

before <6440> him in the breach <6556>, to turn <7725> away his

wrath <2534>, lest he should destroy <7843> [them].

24 Yea, they despised <3988> the pleasant <2532> land <0776>,

they believed <0539> not his word <1697>:

25 But murmured <7279> in their tents <0168>, [and] hearkened

<8085> not unto the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>.

26 Therefore he lifted <5375> up his hand <3027> against them,

to overthrow <5307> them in the wilderness <4057>:

27 To overthrow <5307> their seed <2233> also among the nations

<1471>, and to scatter <2219> them in the lands <0776>.

28 They joined <6775> themselves also unto Baalpeor <1187>, and

ate <0398> the sacrifices <2077> of the dead <4191>.

29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger <3707> with their

inventions <4611>: and the plague <4046> brake <6555> in upon

them.

30 Then stood <5975> up Phinehas <6372>, and executed judgment

<6419>: and [so] the plague <4046> was stayed <6113>.

31 And that was counted <2803> unto him for righteousness

<6666> unto all generations <1755> for evermore <5769>.

32 They angered <7107> [him] also at <5921> the waters <4325>

of strife <4808>, so that it went ill <3415> with Moses <4872>

for their sakes <6616>:

33 Because <3588> they provoked <4784> his spirit <7307>, so

that he spake <0981> unadvisedly <0981> with his lips <8193>.

34. They did not destroy <8045> the nations <5971>, concerning

whom <0834> the LORD <3068> commanded <0559> them:

35 But were mingled <6148> among the heathen <1471>, and

learned <3925> their works <4639>.

36 And they served <5647> their idols <6091>: which were a

snare <4170> unto them.

37 Yea, they sacrificed <2076> their sons <1121> and their

daughters <1121> unto devils <7700>,

38 And shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818>, [even] the

blood <1818> of their sons <1121> and of their daughters <1121>,

whom <0834> they sacrificed <2076> unto the idols <6091> of

Canaan <3667>: and the land <0776> was polluted <2610> with

blood <1818>.

39 Thus were they defiled <2930> with their own works <4639>,

and went a whoring <2181> with their own inventions <4611>.

40 Therefore was the wrath <0639> of the LORD <3068> kindled

<2734> against his people <5971>, insomuch that he abhorred

<8581> his own inheritance <5159>.

41 And he gave <5414> them into the hand <3027> of the heathen

<1471>; and they that hated <8130> them ruled <4910> over them.

42 Their enemies <0341> also oppressed <3905> them, and they

were brought <3665> into subjection <3665> under <8478> their

hand <3027>.

43 Many <7227> times <6471> did he deliver <5337> them; but

they provoked <4784> [him] with their counsel <6098>, and were

brought <4355> low <4355> for their iniquity <5771>.

44 Nevertheless he regarded <7200> their affliction <6862>,

when he heard <8085> their cry <7440>:

45 And he remembered <2142> for them his covenant <1285>, and

repented <5162> according to the multitude <7230> of his mercies

<2617>.

46 He made <5414> them also to be pitied <7356> of all <3605>

those that carried <7617> them captives <7617>.

47 Save <3467> us, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, and gather

<6908> us from among the heathen <1471>, to give thanks <3034>

unto thy holy <6944> name <8034>, [and] to triumph <7623> in thy

praise <8416>.

48 Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel

<3478> from everlasting <5769> to everlasting <5769>: and let

all <3605> the people <5971> say <0559>, Amen <0543>. Praise

<1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 107

1. O give thanks <3034> unto the LORD <3068>, for [he is] good

<2896>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

2 Let the redeemed <1350> of the LORD <3068> say <0559> [so],

whom <0834> he hath redeemed <1350> from the hand <3027> of the

enemy <6862>;

3 And gathered <6908> them out of the lands <0776>, from the

east <4217>, and from the west <4628>, from the north <6828>,

and from the south <3220>.

4 They wandered <8582> in the wilderness <4057> in a solitary

<3452> way <1870>; they found <4672> no <3808> city <5892> to

dwell <4186> in.

5 Hungry <7456> and thirsty <6771>, their soul <5315> fainted

<5848> in them.

6 Then they cried <6817> unto the LORD <3068> in their trouble

<6862>, [and] he delivered <5337> them out of their distresses

<4691>.

7 And he led <1869> them forth by the right <3477> way <1870>,

that they might go <3212> to a city <5892> of habitation <4186>.

8 Oh that [men] would praise <3034> the LORD <3068> [for] his

goodness <2617>, and [for] his wonderful <6381> works to the

children <1121> of men <0120>!

9 For he satisfieth <7646> the longing <8264> soul <5315>, and

filleth <4390> the hungry <7456> soul <5315> with goodness

<2896>.

10. Such as sit <3427> in darkness <2822> and in the shadow

<6757> of death <6757>, [being] bound <0615> in affliction

<6040> and iron <1270>;

11 Because <3588> they rebelled <4784> against the words <0561>

of God <0410>, and contemned <5006> the counsel <6098> of the

most <5945> High <5945>:

12 Therefore he brought <3665> down <3665> their heart <3820>

with labour <5999>; they fell <3782> down <3782>, and [there

was] none <0369> to help <5826>.

13 Then they cried <2199> unto the LORD <3068> in their trouble

<6862>, [and] he saved <3467> them out of their distresses

<4691>.

14 He brought <3318> them out of darkness <2822> and the shadow

<6738> of death <6757>, and brake <5423> their bands <4147> in

sunder.

15 Oh that [men] would praise <3034> the LORD <3068> [for] his

goodness <2617>, and [for] his wonderful <6381> works to the

children <1121> of men <0120>!

16 For he hath broken <7665> the gates <1817> of brass <5178>,

and cut <1438> the bars <1280> of iron <1270> in sunder.

17. Fools <0191> because <1870> of their transgression <6588>,

and because of their iniquities <5771>, are afflicted <6031>.

18 Their soul <5315> abhorreth <8581> all <3605> manner of meat

<0400>; and they draw near <5060> unto the gates <8179> of death

<4194>.

19 Then they cry <2199> unto the LORD <3068> in their trouble

<6862>, [and] he saveth <3467> them out of their distresses

<4691>.

20 He sent <7971> his word <1697>, and healed <7495> them, and

delivered <4422> [them] from their destructions <7825>.

21 Oh that [men] would praise <3034> the LORD <3068> [for] his

goodness <2617>, and [for] his wonderful <6381> works to the

children <1121> of men <0120>!

22 And let them sacrifice <2076> the sacrifices <2077> of

thanksgiving <8426>, and declare <5608> his works <4639> with

rejoicing <7440>.

23. They that go <3381> down <3381> to the sea <3220> in ships

<0591>, that do <6213> business <4399> in great <7227> waters

<4325>;

24 These <1992> see <7200> the works <4639> of the LORD <3068>,

and his wonders <6381> in the deep <4688>.

25 For he commandeth <0559>, and raiseth <5975> the stormy

<5591> wind <7307>, which lifteth <7311> up the waves <1530>

thereof.

26 They mount <5927> up to the heaven <8064>, they go <3381>

down <3381> again to the depths <8415>: their soul <5315> is

melted <4127> because of trouble <7451>.

27 They reel <2287> to and fro, and stagger <5128> like a

drunken <7910> man, and are at their wits <2451>' end <1104>.

28 Then they cry <6817> unto the LORD <3068> in their trouble

<6862>, and he bringeth <3318> them out of their distresses

<4691>.

29 He maketh the storm <5591> a calm <1827>, so that the waves

<1530> thereof are still <2814>.

30 Then are they glad <8056> because <3588> they be quiet

<8367>; so he bringeth <5148> them unto their desired <2656>

haven <4231>.

31 Oh that [men] would praise <3034> the LORD <3068> [for] his

goodness <2617>, and [for] his wonderful <6381> works to the

children <1121> of men <0120>!

32 Let them exalt <7311> him also in the congregation <6951> of

the people <5971>, and praise <1984> him in the assembly <4186>

of the elders <2205>.

33. He turneth <7760> rivers <5104> into a wilderness <4057>,

and the watersprings into dry <6774> ground;

34 A fruitful <6529> land <0776> into barrenness <4420>, for

the wickedness <7451> of them that dwell <3427> therein.

35 He turneth <7760> the wilderness <4057> into a standing <98>

water <4325>, and dry <6723> ground <0127> into watersprings.

36 And there he maketh the hungry <7456> to dwell <3427>, that

they may prepare <3559> a city <5892> for habitation <4186>;

37 And sow <2232> the fields <7704>, and plant <5193> vineyards

<3754>, which may yield <6213> fruits <6529> of increase <8393>.

38 He blesseth <1288> them also, so that they are multiplied

<7235> greatly <3966>; and suffereth not their cattle <0929> to

decrease <4591>.

39 Again, they are minished <4591> and brought <7817> low

<7817> through oppression <6115>, affliction <7451>, and sorrow

<3015>.

40 He poureth <8210> contempt <0937> upon princes <5081>, and

causeth them to wander <8582> in the wilderness <8414>, [where

there is] no <3808> way <1870>.

41 Yet setteth he the poor <34> on high <7682> from affliction

<6040>, and maketh <7760> [him] families <4940> like a flock

<6629>.

42 The righteous <3477> shall see <7200> [it], and rejoice

<8055>: and all <3605> iniquity <5766> shall stop <7092> her

mouth <6310>.

43 Whoso <4310> [is] wise <2450>, and will observe <8104> these

<0428> [things], even they shall understand <0995> the

lovingkindness <2617> of the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 108

1. A Song <7892> [or] Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. O God

<0430>, my heart <3820> is fixed <3559>; I will sing <7891> and

give praise <2167>, even <0637> with my glory <3519>.

2 Awake <5782>, psaltery <5035> and harp <3658>: I [myself]

will awake <5782> early <7837>.

3 I will praise <3034> thee, O LORD <3068>, among the people

<5971>: and I will sing <2167> praises unto thee among the

nations <3816>.

4 For thy mercy <2617> [is] great <1419> above <5921> the

heavens <8064>: and thy truth <0571> [reacheth] unto the clouds

<7834>.

5 Be thou exalted <7311>, O God <0430>, above <5921> the

heavens <8064>: and thy glory <3519> above <5921> all <3605> the

earth <0776>;

6. That thy beloved <3039> may be delivered <2502>: save <3467>

[with] thy right <3225> hand <3225>, and answer <6030> me.

7 God <0430> hath spoken <1696> in his holiness <6944>; I will

rejoice <5937>, I will divide <2505> Shechem <7927>, and mete

<4058> out the valley <6010> of Succoth <5523>.

8 Gilead <1568> [is] mine; Manasseh <4519> [is] mine; Ephraim

<0669> also [is] the strength <4581> of mine head <7218>; Judah

<3063> [is] my lawgiver <2710>;

9 Moab <4124> [is] my washpot; over <5921> Edom <0123> will I

cast <7993> out my shoe <5275>; over Philistia <6429> will I

triumph <7321>.

10 Who <4310> will bring <2986> me into the strong <4013> city

<5892>? who <4310> will lead <5148> me into <5704> Edom <0123>?

11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God <0430>, [who] hast cast <2186> us

off? and wilt not thou, O God <0430>, go <3318> forth <3318>

with our hosts <6635>?

12 Give <3051> us help <5833> from trouble <6862>: for vain

<7723> [is] the help <8668> of man <0120>.

13 Through God <0430> we shall do <6213> valiantly <2428>: for

he [it is that] shall tread <0947> down our enemies <6862>.

Psalms 109

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

Hold <2790> not thy peace <2790>, O God <0430> of my praise

<8416>;

2 For the mouth <6310> of the wicked <7563> and the mouth

<6310> of the deceitful <4820> are opened <6605> against <5921>

me: they have spoken <1696> against me with a lying <8267>

tongue <3956>.

3 They compassed <5437> me about also with words <1697> of

hatred <8135>; and fought <3898> against me without <2600> a

cause <2600>.

4 For my love <0160> they are my adversaries <7853>: but I

[give myself unto] prayer <8605>.

5 And they have rewarded <7760> me evil <7451> for good <2896>,

and hatred <8135> for my love <0160>.

6. Set <6485> thou a wicked <7563> man over <5921> him: and let

Satan <7854> stand <5975> at <5921> his right <3225> hand <3225>.

7 When he shall be judged <8199>, let him be condemned: and let

his prayer <8605> become <1961> sin <2401>.

8 Let his days <3117> be few <4592>; [and] let another <0312>

take <3947> his office <6486>.

9 Let his children <1121> be fatherless <3490>, and his wife

<0802> a widow <0490>.

10 Let his children <1121> be continually vagabonds <5128>, and

beg <7592>: let them seek <1875> [their bread] also out of their

desolate <2723> places.

11 Let the extortioner <5383> catch <5367> all <3605> that he

hath; and let the strangers <2114> spoil <0962> his labour

<3018>.

12 Let there be none <0408> to extend <4900> mercy <2617> unto

him: neither <0408> let there be any to favour <2603> his

fatherless <3490> children.

13 Let his posterity <0319> be cut <3772> off; [and] in the

generation <1755> following <0312> let their name <8034> be

blotted <4229> out.

14 Let the iniquity <5771> of his fathers <1> be remembered

<2142> with the LORD <3068>; and let not the sin <2403> of his

mother <0517> be blotted <4229> out.

15 Let them be before <5048> the LORD <3068> continually <8548>,

that he may cut <3772> off the memory <2143> of them from the

earth <0776>.

16 Because <3282> that he remembered <2142> not to shew <6213>

mercy <2617>, but persecuted <7291> the poor <6041> and needy

<34> man <0376>, that he might even slay <4191> the broken

<5218> in heart <3824>.

17 As he loved <0157> cursing <7045>, so let it come <0935>

unto him: as he delighted <2654> not in blessing <1293>, so let

it be far <7368> from him.

18 As he clothed <3847> himself with cursing <7045> like as

with his garment <4055>, so let it come <0935> into his bowels

<7130> like water <4325>, and like oil <8081> into his bones

<6106>.

19 Let it be unto him as the garment <0899> [which] covereth

<5844> him, and for a girdle <4206> wherewith he is girded

<2296> continually <8548>.

20 [Let] this <2063> [be] the reward <6468> of mine adversaries

<7853> from the LORD <3068>, and of them that speak <1696> evil

<7451> against <5921> my soul <5315>.

21. But do <6213> thou for me, O GOD <3069> the Lord <0136>,

for thy name's <8034> sake <4616>: because <3588> thy mercy

<2617> [is] good <2896>, deliver <5337> thou me.

22 For I [am] poor <6041> and needy <34>, and my heart <3820>

is wounded <2490> within <7130> me.

23 I am gone <1980> like the shadow <6738> when it declineth

<5186>: I am tossed <5287> up and down as the locust <0697>.

24 My knees <1290> are weak <3782> through fasting <6685>; and

my flesh <1320> faileth <3584> of fatness <8081>.

25 I became <1961> also a reproach <2781> unto them: [when]

they looked <7200> upon me they shaked <5128> their heads <7218>.

26 Help <5826> me, O LORD <3068> my God <0430>: O save <3467>

me according to thy mercy <2617>:

27 That they may know <3045> that this <2063> [is] thy hand

<3027>; [that] thou, LORD <3068>, hast done <6213> it.

28 Let them curse <7043>, but bless <1288> thou: when they

arise <6965>, let them be ashamed <0954>; but let thy servant

<5650> rejoice <8055>.

29 Let mine adversaries <7853> be clothed <3847> with shame

<3639>, and let them cover <5844> themselves with their own

confusion <1322>, as with a mantle <4598>.

30 I will greatly <3966> praise <3034> the LORD <3068> with my

mouth <6310>; yea, I will praise <1984> him among <8432> the

multitude <7227>.

31 For he shall stand <5975> at the right <3225> hand <3225> of

the poor <34>, to save <3467> [him] from those that condemn

<8199> his soul <5315>.

Psalms 110

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. The LORD <3068> said <5002>

unto my Lord <0113>, Sit <3427> thou at my right <3225> hand

<3225>, until <5704> I make <7896> thine enemies <0341> thy

footstool.

2 The LORD <3068> shall send <7971> the rod <4294> of thy

strength <5797> out of Zion <6726>: rule <7287> thou in the

midst <7130> of thine enemies <0341>.

3 Thy people <5971> [shall be] willing <5071> in the day <3117>

of thy power <2428>, in the beauties <1926> of holiness <6944>

from the womb <7358> of the morning <4891>: thou hast the dew

<2919> of thy youth <3208>.

4 The LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650>, and will not repent <5162>,

Thou [art] a priest <3548> for ever <5769> after <5921> the

order <1770> of Melchizedek <4442>.

5. The Lord <0136> at <5921> thy right <3225> hand <3225> shall

strike <4272> through kings <4428> in the day <3117> of his

wrath <0639>.

6 He shall judge <1777> among the heathen <1471>, he shall fill

<4390> [the places] with the dead <1472> bodies <1472>; he shall

wound <4272> the heads <7218> over <5921> many <7227> countries

<0776>.

7 He shall drink <8354> of the brook <5158> in the way <1870>:

therefore shall he lift <7311> up the head <7218>.

Psalms 111

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. I will praise <3034> the

LORD <3068> with [my] whole <3605> heart <3824>, in the assembly

<5475> of the upright <3477>, and [in] the congregation <5712>.

2 The works <4639> of the LORD <3068> [are] great <1419>,

sought <1875> out of all <3605> them that have pleasure <2656>

therein.

3 His work <6467> [is] honourable <1935> and glorious <1926>:

and his righteousness <6666> endureth <5975> for ever <5703>.

4 He hath made <6213> his wonderful <6381> works to be

remembered <2142>: the LORD <3068> [is] gracious <2587> and full

of compassion <7349>.

5 He hath given <5414> meat <2964> unto them that fear <3373>

him: he will ever <5769> be mindful <2142> of his covenant

<1285>.

6. He hath shewed <5046> his people <5971> the power <3581> of

his works <4639>, that he may give <5441> them the heritage

<5159> of the heathen <1471>.

7 The works <4639> of his hands <3027> [are] verity <0571> and

judgment <4941>; all <3605> his commandments <6490> [are] sure

<0539>.

8 They stand <5564> fast for ever <5703> and ever <5769>, [and

are] done <6213> in truth <0571> and uprightness <3477>.

9 He sent <7971> redemption <6304> unto his people <5971>: he

hath commanded <6680> his covenant <1285> for ever <5769>: holy

<6918> and reverend <3372> [is] his name <8034>.

10 The fear <3374> of the LORD <3068> [is] the beginning <7225>

of wisdom <2451>: a good <2896> understanding <7922> have all

<3605> they that do <6213> [his commandments]: his praise <8416>

endureth <5975> for ever <5769>.

Psalms 112

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. Blessed <0835> [is] the

man <0376> [that] feareth <3372> the LORD <3068>, [that]

delighteth <2654> greatly <3966> in his commandments <4687>.

2 His seed <2233> shall be mighty <1368> upon earth <0776>: the

generation <1755> of the upright <3477> shall be blessed <1288>.

3 Wealth <1952> and riches <6239> [shall be] in his house

<1004>: and his righteousness <6666> endureth <5975> for ever

<5703>.

4 Unto the upright <3477> there ariseth <2224> light <0216> in

the darkness <2822>: [he is] gracious <2587>, and full of

compassion <7349>, and righteous <6662>.

5 A good <2896> man <0376> sheweth favour <2603>, and lendeth

<3867>: he will guide <3557> his affairs <1697> with discretion

<4941>.

6. Surely <3588> he shall not be moved <4131> for ever <5769>:

the righteous <6662> shall be in everlasting <5769> remembrance

<2143>.

7 He shall not be afraid <3372> of evil <7451> tidings <8052>:

his heart <3820> is fixed <3559>, trusting <0982> in the LORD

<3068>.

8 His heart <3820> [is] established <5564>, he shall not be

afraid <3372>, until <5704> he see <7200> [his desire] upon his

enemies <6862>.

9 He hath dispersed <6340>, he hath given <5414> to the poor

<34>; his righteousness <6666> endureth <5975> for ever <5703>;

his horn <7161> shall be exalted <7311> with honour <3519>.

10 The wicked <7563> shall see <7200> [it], and be grieved

<3707>; he shall gnash <2786> with his teeth <8127>, and melt

<4549> away: the desire <8378> of the wicked <7563> shall perish

<6>.

Psalms 113

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. Praise <1984>, O ye

servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, praise <1984> the name

<8034> of the LORD <3068>.

2 Blessed <1288> be the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> from

this time forth and for evermore <5769>.

3 From the rising <4217> of the sun <8121> unto the going

<3996> down of the same the LORD'S <3068> name <8034> [is] to be

praised <1984>.

4 The LORD <3068> [is] high <7311> above <5921> all <3605>

nations <1471>, [and] his glory <3519> above <5921> the heavens

<8064>.

5 Who <4310> [is] like unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, who

dwelleth <3427> on high <1361>,

6 Who humbleth <8213> [himself] to behold <7200> [the things

that are] in heaven <8064>, and in the earth <0776>!

7 He raiseth <6965> up the poor <1800> out of the dust <6083>,

[and] lifteth <7311> the needy <34> out of the dunghill <0830>;

8 That he may set <3427> [him] with princes <5081>, [even] with

the princes <5081> of his people <5971>.

9 He maketh the barren <6135> woman to keep house <1004>, [and

to be] a joyful <8056> mother <0517> of children <1121>. Praise

<1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 114

1. When Israel <3478> went <3318> out of Egypt <4714>, the

house <1004> of Jacob <3290> from a people <5971> of strange

<3937> language <3937>;

2 Judah <3063> was his sanctuary <6944>, [and] Israel <3478>

his dominion <4475>.

3 The sea <3220> saw <7200> [it], and fled <5127>: Jordan

<3383> was driven <5437> back <0268>.

4 The mountains <2022> skipped <7540> like rams <0352>, [and]

the little hills <1389> like lambs.

5 What <4100> [ailed] thee, O thou sea <3220>, that thou

fleddest <5127>? thou Jordan <3383>, [that] thou wast driven

<5437> back <0268>?

6 Ye mountains <2022>, [that] ye skipped <7540> like rams

<0352>; [and] ye little hills <1389>, like lambs?

7 Tremble <2342>, thou earth <0776>, at the presence <6440> of

the Lord <0113>, at the presence <6440> of the God <0433> of

Jacob <3290>;

8 Which turned <2015> the rock <6697> [into] a standing <98>

water <4325>, the flint <2496> into a fountain <4599> of waters

<4325>.

Psalms 115

1. Not unto us, O LORD <3068>, not unto us, but unto thy name

<8034> give glory <3519>, for thy mercy <2617>, [and] for thy

truth's <0571> sake.

2 Wherefore <4100> should the heathen <1471> say <0559>, Where

<0346> [is] now <4994> their God <0430>?

3 But our God <0430> [is] in the heavens <8064>: he hath done

<6213> whatsoever he hath pleased <2654>.

4 Their idols <6091> [are] silver <3701> and gold <2091>, the

work <4639> of men's <0120> hands <3027>.

5 They have mouths <6310>, but they speak <1696> not: eyes

<5869> have they, but they see <7200> not:

6 They have ears <0241>, but they hear <8085> not: noses <0639>

have they, but they smell <7306> not:

7 They have hands <3027>, but they handle <0184> not: feet

<7272> have they, but they walk <1980> not: neither <3808> speak

<1897> they through their throat <1627>.

8 They that make <6213> them are like <3644> unto them; [so is]

every <3605> one that trusteth <0982> in them.

9. O Israel <3478>, trust <0982> thou in the LORD <3068>: he

[is] their help <5828> and their shield <4043>.

10 O house <1004> of Aaron <0175>, trust <0982> in the LORD

<3068>: he [is] their help <5828> and their shield <4043>.

11 Ye that fear <3373> the LORD <3068>, trust <0982> in the

LORD <3068>: he [is] their help <5828> and their shield <4043>.

12 The LORD <3068> hath been mindful <2142> of us: he will

bless <1288> [us]; he will bless <1288> the house <1004> of

Israel <3478>; he will bless <1288> the house <1004> of Aaron

<0175>.

13 He will bless <1288> them that fear <3373> the LORD <3068>,

[both] small <6996> and great <1419>.

14 The LORD <3068> shall increase <3254> you more and more, you

and your children <1121>.

15 Ye [are] blessed <1288> of the LORD <3068> which made <6213>

heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.

16 The heaven <8064>, [even] the heavens <8064>, [are] the

LORD'S <3068>: but the earth <0776> hath he given <5414> to the

children <1121> of men <0120>.

17 The dead <4191> praise <1984> not the LORD <3050>, neither

<3808> any <3605> that go <3381> down <3381> into silence <1745>.

18 But we will bless <1288> the LORD <3050> from this time

<6258> forth and for evermore <5769>. Praise <1984> the LORD

<3050>.

Psalms 116

1. I love <0157> the LORD <3068>, because <3588> he hath heard

<8085> my voice <6963> [and] my supplications <8469>.

2 Because <3588> he hath inclined <5186> his ear <0241> unto me,

therefore will I call <7121> upon [him] as long <3117> as I

live <3117>.

3 The sorrows <2256> of death <4194> compassed <0661> me, and

the pains <4712> of hell <7585> gat hold <4672> upon me: I found

<4672> trouble <6869> and sorrow <3015>.

4 Then called <7121> I upon the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>;

O LORD <3068>, I beseech <0577> thee, deliver <4422> my soul

<5315>.

5 Gracious <2587> [is] the LORD <3068>, and righteous <6662>;

yea, our God <0430> [is] merciful <7355>.

6 The LORD <3068> preserveth <8104> the simple <6612>: I was

brought <1809> low <1809>, and he helped <3467> me.

7 Return <7725> unto thy rest <4496>, O my soul <5315>; for the

LORD <3068> hath dealt <1580> bountifully <1580> with thee.

8 For thou hast delivered <2502> my soul <5315> from death

<4194>, mine eyes <5869> from tears <1832>, [and] my feet <7272>

from falling <1762>.

9 I will walk <1980> before <6440> the LORD <3068> in the land

<0776> of the living <2416>.

10. I believed <0539>, therefore <3588> have I spoken <1696>: I

was greatly <3966> afflicted <6031>:

11 I said <0559> in my haste <2648>, All <3605> men <0120>

[are] liars <3576>.

12 What <4100> shall I render <7725> unto the LORD <3068> [for]

all <3605> his benefits <8408> toward <5921> me?

13 I will take <5375> the cup <3563> of salvation <3444>, and

call <7121> upon the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.

14 I will pay <7999> my vows <5088> unto the LORD <3068> now

<4994> in the presence <5048> of all <3605> his people <5971>.

15 Precious <3368> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068> [is]

the death <4194> of his saints <2623>.

16 O LORD <3068>, truly <0577> I [am] thy servant <5650>; I

[am] thy servant <5650>, [and] the son <1121> of thine handmaid

<0519>: thou hast loosed <6605> my bonds <4147>.

17 I will offer <2076> to thee the sacrifice <2077> of

thanksgiving <8426>, and will call <7121> upon the name <8034>

of the LORD <3068>.

18 I will pay <7999> my vows <5088> unto the LORD <3068> now

<4994> in the presence <6440> of all <3605> his people <5971>,

19 In the courts <2691> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, in

the midst <8432> of thee, O Jerusalem <3389>. Praise <1984> ye

the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 117

1. O praise <1984> the LORD <3068>, all <3605> ye nations

<1471>: praise <7623> him, all <3605> ye people <0528>.

2 For his merciful <2617> kindness <2617> is great <1396>

toward <5921> us: and the truth <0571> of the LORD <3068>

[endureth] for ever <5769>. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 118

1. O give thanks <3034> unto the LORD <3068>; for [he is] good

<2896>: because <3588> his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever

<5769>.

2 Let Israel <3478> now <4994> say <0559>, that his mercy

<2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

3 Let the house <1004> of Aaron <0175> now <4994> say <0559>,

that his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

4 Let them now <4994> that fear <3373> the LORD <3068> say

<0559>, that his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

5 I called <7121> upon the LORD <3050> in distress <4712>: the

LORD <3050> answered <6030> me, [and set me] in a large <4800>

place.

6 The LORD <3068> [is] on my side; I will not fear <3372>: what

<4100> can man <0120> do <6213> unto me?

7 The LORD <3068> taketh my part with them that help <5826> me:

therefore shall I see <7200> [my desire] upon them that hate

<8130> me.

8 [It is] better <2896> to trust <2620> in the LORD <3068> than

to put confidence <0982> in man <0120>.

9 [It is] better <2896> to trust <2620> in the LORD <3068> than

to put confidence <0982> in princes <5081>.

10 All <3605> nations <1471> compassed <5437> me about: but in

the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> will I destroy <4035> them.

11 They compassed <5437> me about; yea <1571>, they compassed

<5437> me about: but in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> I

will destroy <4035> them.

12 They compassed <5437> me about like bees <1682>; they are

quenched <1846> as the fire <0784> of thorns <6975>: for in the

name <8034> of the LORD <3068> I will destroy <4035> them.

13 Thou hast thrust <1760> sore at me that I might fall <5307>:

but the LORD <3068> helped <5826> me.

14 The LORD <3050> [is] my strength <5797> and song <2176>, and

is become <1961> my salvation <3444>.

15 The voice <6963> of rejoicing <7440> and salvation <3444>

[is] in the tabernacles <0168> of the righteous <6662>: the

right <3225> hand <3225> of the LORD <3068> doeth <6213>

valiantly <2428>.

16 The right <3225> hand <3225> of the LORD <3068> is exalted

<7426>: the right <3225> hand <3225> of the LORD <3068> doeth

<6213> valiantly <2428>.

17 I shall not die <4191>, but live <2421>, and declare <5608>

the works <4639> of the LORD <3050>.

18 The LORD <3050> hath chastened <3256> me sore: but he hath

not given <5414> me over <5414> unto death <4194>.

19. Open <6605> to me the gates <8179> of righteousness <6664>:

I will go <0935> into them, [and] I will praise <3034> the LORD

<3050>:

20 This <2088> gate <8179> of the LORD <3068>, into which the

righteous <6662> shall enter <0935>.

21 I will praise <3034> thee: for thou hast heard <6030> me,

and art become <1961> my salvation <3444>.

22 The stone <68> [which] the builders <1129> refused <3988> is

become <1961> the head <7218> [stone] of the corner <6438>.

23 This <2063> is the LORD'S <3068> doing <0854>; it [is]

marvellous <6381> in our eyes <5869>.

24 This <2088> [is] the day <3117> [which] the LORD <3068> hath

made <6213>; we will rejoice <1523> and be glad <8056> in it.

25 Save <3467> now <4994>, I beseech <0577> thee, O LORD <3068>:

O LORD <3068>, I beseech <0577> thee, send now <4994>

prosperity <6743>.

26 Blessed <1288> [be] he that cometh <0935> in the name <8034>

of the LORD <3068>: we have blessed <1288> you out of the house

<1004> of the LORD <3068>.

27 God <0410> [is] the LORD <3068>, which hath shewed us light

<0216>: bind <0631> the sacrifice <2282> with cords <5688>,

[even] unto the horns <7161> of the altar <4196>.

28 Thou [art] my God <0410>, and I will praise <3034> thee:

[thou art] my God <0430>, I will exalt <7311> thee.

29 O give thanks <3034> unto the LORD <3068>; for [he is] good

<2896>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

Psalms 119

1. ALEPH. Blessed <0835> [are] the undefiled <8549> in the way

<1870>, who walk <1980> in the law <8451> of the LORD <3068>.

2 Blessed <0835> [are] they that keep <5341> his testimonies

<5713>, [and that] seek <1875> him with the whole <3605> heart

<3820>.

3 They also <0637> do <6466> no <3808> iniquity <5766>: they

walk <1980> in his ways <1870>.

4. Thou hast commanded <6680> [us] to keep <8104> thy precepts

<6490> diligently <3966>.

5 O that my ways <1870> were directed <3559> to keep <8104> thy

statutes <2706>!

6 Then <0227> shall I not be ashamed <0954>, when I have

respect <5027> unto all <3605> thy commandments <4687>.

7. I will praise <3034> thee with uprightness <3476> of heart

<3824>, when I shall have learned <3925> thy righteous <6664>

judgments <4941>.

8 I will keep <8104> thy statutes <2706>: O forsake <5800> me

not utterly <3966>.

9. BETH. Wherewithal shall a young <5288> man cleanse <2135>

his way <0734>? by taking heed <8104> [thereto] according to thy

word <1697>.

10. With my whole <3605> heart <3820> have I sought <1875> thee:

O let me not wander <7686> from thy commandments <4687>.

11. Thy word <0565> have I hid <6845> in mine heart <3820>,

that I might not sin <2398> against thee.

12. Blessed <1288> [art] thou, O LORD <3068>: teach <3925> me

thy statutes <2706>.

13. With my lips <8193> have I declared <5608> all <3605> the

judgments <4941> of thy mouth <6310>.

14 I have rejoiced <7797> in the way <1870> of thy testimonies

<5715>, as [much as] in all <3605> riches <1952>.

15 I will meditate <7878> in thy precepts <6490>, and have

respect <5027> unto thy ways <0734>.

16 I will delight <8173> myself in thy statutes <2708>: I will

not forget <7911> thy word <1697>.

17. GIMEL. Deal <1580> bountifully <1580> with thy servant

<5650>, [that] I may live <2421>, and keep <8104> thy word

<1697>.

18. Open <1540> thou mine eyes <5869>, that I may behold <5027>

wondrous <6381> things out of thy law <8451>.

19. I [am] a stranger <1616> in the earth <0776>: hide <5641>

not thy commandments <4687> from me.

20. My soul <5315> breaketh <1638> for the longing <8375> [that

it hath] unto thy judgments <4941> at all <3605> times <6256>.

21. Thou hast rebuked <1605> the proud <2086> [that are] cursed

<0779>, which do err <7686> from thy commandments <4687>.

22. Remove <1556> from me reproach <2781> and contempt <0937>;

for I have kept <5341> thy testimonies <5713>.

23. Princes <8269> also <1571> did sit <3427> [and] speak

<1696> against me: [but] thy servant <5650> did meditate <7878>

in thy statutes <2706>.

24. Thy testimonies <5713> also [are] my delight <8191> [and]

my counsellors <6098>.

25. DALETH. My soul <5315> cleaveth <1692> unto the dust <6083>:

quicken <2421> thou me according to thy word <1697>.

26. I have declared <5608> my ways <1870>, and thou heardest

<6030> me: teach <3925> me thy statutes <2706>.

27 Make me to understand <0995> the way <1870> of thy precepts

<6490>: so shall I talk <7878> of thy wondrous <6381> works.

28. My soul <5315> melteth <1811> for heaviness <8424>:

strengthen <6965> thou me according unto thy word <1697>.

29 Remove <5493> from me the way <1870> of lying <8267>: and

grant me thy law <8451> graciously <2603>.

30. I have chosen <0977> the way <1870> of truth <0530>: thy

judgments <4941> have I laid <7737> [before me].

31 I have stuck <1692> unto thy testimonies <5715>: O LORD

<3068>, put me not to shame <0954>.

32 I will run <7323> the way <1870> of thy commandments <4687>,

when <3588> thou shalt enlarge <7337> my heart <3820>.

33. HE. Teach <3384> me, O LORD <3068>, the way <1870> of thy

statutes <2706>; and I shall keep <5341> it [unto] the end

<6118>.

34 Give me understanding <0995>, and I shall keep <5341> thy

law <8451>; yea, I shall observe <8104> it with [my] whole

<3605> heart <3820>.

35. Make me to go <1869> in the path <5410> of thy commandments

<4687>; for therein do I delight <2654>.

36 Incline <5186> my heart <3820> unto thy testimonies <5715>,

and not to covetousness <1215>.

37. Turn <5674> away mine eyes <5869> from beholding <7200>

vanity <7723>; [and] quicken <2421> thou me in thy way <1870>.

38. Stablish <6965> thy word <0565> unto thy servant <5650>,

who <0834> [is devoted] to thy fear <3374>.

39. Turn <5674> away my reproach <2781> which <0834> I fear

<3025>: for thy judgments <4941> [are] good <2896>.

40. Behold <2009>, I have longed <8373> after thy precepts

<6490>: quicken <2421> me in thy righteousness <6666>.

41. VAU. Let thy mercies <2617> come <0935> also unto me, O

LORD <3068>, [even] thy salvation <8668>, according to thy word

<0565>.

42 So shall I have wherewith <1697> to answer <6030> him that

reproacheth <2778> me: for I trust <0982> in thy word <1697>.

43. And take <5337> not the word <1697> of truth <0571> utterly

<3966> out of my mouth <6310>; for I have hoped <3176> in thy

judgments <4941>.

44 So shall I keep <8104> thy law <8451> continually <8548> for

ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

45. And I will walk <1980> at liberty <7342>: for I seek <1875>

thy precepts <6490>.

46 I will speak <1696> of thy testimonies <5713> also before

<5048> kings <4428>, and will not be ashamed <0954>.

47 And I will delight <8173> myself in thy commandments <4687>,

which <0834> I have loved <0157>.

48 My hands <3709> also will I lift <5375> up unto thy

commandments <4687>, which <0834> I have loved <0157>; and I

will meditate <7878> in thy statutes <2706>.

49. ZAIN. Remember <2142> the word <1697> unto thy servant

<5650>, upon which <0834> thou hast caused me to hope <3176>.

50. This [is] my comfort <5162> in my affliction <6040>: for

thy word <0565> hath quickened <2421> me.

51. The proud <2086> have had me greatly <3966> in derision

<3887>: [yet] have I not declined <5186> from thy law <8451>.

52. I remembered <2142> thy judgments <4941> of old <5769>, O

LORD <3068>; and have comforted <5162> myself.

53. Horror <2152> hath taken <0270> hold <0270> upon me because

<3588> of the wicked <7563> that forsake <5800> thy law <8451>.

54. Thy statutes <2706> have been <1961> my songs <2158> in the

house <1004> of my pilgrimage <4033>.

55. I have remembered <2142> thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068>, in

the night <3915>, and have kept <8104> thy law <8451>.

56 This I had <1961>, because <3588> I kept <5341> thy precepts

<6490>.

57. CHETH. [Thou art] my portion <2506>, O LORD <3068>: I have

said <0559> that I would keep <8104> thy words <1697>.

58. I intreated <2470> thy favour <6440> with [my] whole <3605>

heart <3820>: be merciful <2603> unto me according to thy word

<0565>.

59. I thought <2803> on my ways <1870>, and turned <7725> my

feet <7272> unto thy testimonies <5713>.

60 I made haste <2363>, and delayed <4102> not to keep <8104>

thy commandments <4687>.

61. The bands <2258> of the wicked <7563> have robbed <5749> me:

[but] I have not forgotten <7911> thy law <8451>.

62. At midnight I will rise <6965> to give thanks <3034> unto

thee because <5921> of thy righteous <6664> judgments <4941>.

63. I [am] a companion <2270> of all <3605> [them] that fear

<3372> thee, and of them that keep <8104> thy precepts <6490>.

64. The earth <0776>, O LORD <3068>, is full <4390> of thy

mercy <2617>: teach <3925> me thy statutes <2706>.

65. TETH. Thou hast dealt <6213> well <2896> with thy servant

<5650>, O LORD <3068>, according unto thy word <1697>.

66 Teach <3925> me good <2898> judgment <2940> and knowledge

<1847>: for I have believed <0539> thy commandments <4687>.

67. Before <2962> I was afflicted <6031> I went <7683> astray

<7683>: but now <6258> have I kept <8104> thy word <0565>.

68. Thou [art] good <2896>, and doest good <2895>; teach <3925>

me thy statutes <2706>.

69. The proud <2086> have forged <2950> a lie <3576> against

<5921> me: [but] I will keep <5341> thy precepts <6490> with

[my] whole <3605> heart <3820>.

70 Their heart <3820> is as fat <2954> as grease; [but] I

delight <8173> in thy law <8451>.

71. [It is] good <2896> for me that I have been afflicted

<6031>; that I might learn <3925> thy statutes <2706>.

72. The law <8451> of thy mouth <6310> [is] better <2896> unto

me than thousands <0505> of gold <2091> and silver <3701>.

73. JOD. Thy hands <3027> have made <6213> me and fashioned

<3559> me: give me understanding <0995>, that I may learn <3925>

thy commandments <4687>.

74. They that fear <3373> thee will be glad <8056> when they

see <7200> me; because <3588> I have hoped <3176> in thy word

<1697>.

75. I know <3045>, O LORD <3068>, that thy judgments <4941>

[are] right <6664>, and [that] thou in faithfulness <0530> hast

afflicted <6031> me.

76. Let, I pray <7592> thee, thy merciful <2617> kindness

<2617> be for my comfort <5162>, according to thy word <0565>

unto thy servant <5650>.

77 Let thy tender mercies <7356> come <0935> unto me, that I

may live <2421>: for thy law <8451> [is] my delight <8191>.

78. Let the proud <2086> be ashamed <0954>; for they dealt

perversely <5791> with me without <8267> a cause <8267>: [but] I

will meditate <7878> in thy precepts <6490>.

79 Let those that fear <3373> thee turn <7725> unto me, and

those that have known <3045> thy testimonies <5713>.

80. Let my heart <3820> be sound <8549> in thy statutes <2706>;

that I be not ashamed <0954>.

81. CAPH. My soul <5315> fainteth <3615> for thy salvation

<8668>: [but] I hope <3176> in thy word <1697>.

82 Mine eyes <5869> fail <3615> for thy word <0565>, saying

<0559>, When <4970> wilt thou comfort <5162> me?

83. For I am become <1961> like a bottle <4997> in the smoke

<7008>; [yet] do I not forget <7911> thy statutes <2706>.

84. How <4100> many [are] the days <3117> of thy servant

<5650>? when <4970> wilt thou execute <6213> judgment <4941> on

them that persecute <7291> me?

85. The proud <2086> have digged <3738> pits <7882> for me,

which <0834> [are] not after thy law <8451>.

86 All <3605> thy commandments <4687> [are] faithful <0530>:

they persecute <7291> me wrongfully <8267>; help <5826> thou me.

87 They had almost <4592> consumed <3615> me upon earth <0776>;

but I forsook <5800> not thy precepts <6490>.

88. Quicken <2421> me after thy lovingkindness <2617>; so shall

I keep <8104> the testimony <5715> of thy mouth <6310>.

89. LAMED. For ever <5769>, O LORD <3068>, thy word <1697> is

settled <5324> in heaven <8064>.

90 Thy faithfulness <0530> [is] unto all generations <1755>:

thou hast established <3559> the earth <0776>, and it abideth

<5975>.

91 They continue <5975> this day <3117> according to thine

ordinances <4941>: for all <3605> [are] thy servants <5650>.

92. Unless <3884> thy law <8451> [had been] my delights <8191>,

I should then <0227> have perished <6> in mine affliction <6040>.

93. I will never forget <7911> thy precepts <6490>: for with

them thou hast quickened <2421> me.

94. I [am] thine, save <3467> me; for I have sought <1875> thy

precepts <6490>.

95. The wicked <7563> have waited <6960> for me to destroy <6>

me: [but] I will consider <0995> thy testimonies <5713>.

96. I have seen <7200> an end <7093> of all <3605> perfection

<8502>: [but] thy commandment <4687> [is] exceeding <3966> broad

<7342>.

97. MEM. O how <4100> love I <0157> thy law <8451>! it [is] my

meditation <7881> all <3605> the day <3117>.

98. Thou through thy commandments <4687> hast made me wiser

<2449> than mine enemies <0341>: for they [are] ever <5769> with

me.

99 I have more understanding <7919> than all <3605> my teachers

<3925>: for thy testimonies <5715> [are] my meditation <7881>.

100 I understand <0995> more than the ancients <2204>, because

<3588> I keep <5341> thy precepts <6490>.

101. I have refrained <3601> my feet <7272> from every <3605>

evil <7451> way <0734>, that I might keep <8104> thy word <1697>.

102. I have not departed <5493> from thy judgments <4941>: for

thou hast taught <3384> me.

103. How <4100> sweet <4452> are thy words <0565> unto my taste

<2441>! [yea, sweeter] than honey <1706> to my mouth <6310>!

104 Through thy precepts <6490> I get understanding <0995>:

therefore I hate <8130> every <3605> false <8267> way <0734>.

105. NUN. Thy word <1697> [is] a lamp <5216> unto my feet

<7272>, and a light <0216> unto my path <5410>.

106. I have sworn <7650>, and I will perform <6965> [it], that

I will keep <8104> thy righteous <6664> judgments <4941>.

107. I am afflicted <6031> very much <3966>: quicken <2421> me,

O LORD <3068>, according unto thy word <1697>.

108. Accept <7521>, I beseech <4994> thee, the freewill <5071>

offerings of my mouth <6310>, O LORD <3068>, and teach <3925> me

thy judgments <4941>.

109. My soul <5315> [is] continually <8548> in my hand <3709>:

yet do I not forget <7911> thy law <8451>.

110 The wicked <7563> have laid <5414> a snare <6341> for me:

yet I erred <8582> not from thy precepts <6490>.

111. Thy testimonies <5715> have I taken as an heritage <5157>

for ever <5769>: for they [are] the rejoicing <8342> of my heart

<3820>.

112 I have inclined <5186> mine heart <3820> to perform <6213>

thy statutes <2706> alway <5769>, [even unto] the end <6118>.

113. SAMECH. I hate <8130> [vain] thoughts <5588>: but thy law

<8451> do I love <0157>.

114. Thou [art] my hiding <5643> place and my shield <4043>: I

hope <3176> in thy word <1697>.

115. Depart <5493> from me, ye evildoers <7489>: for I will

keep <5341> the commandments <4687> of my God <0430>.

116. Uphold <5564> me according unto thy word <0565>, that I

may live <2421>: and let me not be ashamed <0954> of my hope

<7664>.

117 Hold <5582> thou me up, and I shall be safe <3467>: and I

will have respect <8159> unto thy statutes <2706> continually

<8548>.

118. Thou hast trodden <5541> down all <3605> them that err

<7686> from thy statutes <2706>: for their deceit <8649> [is]

falsehood <8267>.

119 Thou puttest <7673> away all <3605> the wicked <7563> of

the earth <0776> [like] dross <5509>: therefore <3651> I love

<0157> thy testimonies <5713>.

120 My flesh <1320> trembleth <5568> for fear <6343> of thee;

and I am afraid <3372> of thy judgments <4941>.

121. AIN. I have done <6213> judgment <4941> and justice <6664>:

leave <3241> me not to mine oppressors <6231>.

122 Be surety <6148> for thy servant <5650> for good <2896>:

let not the proud <2086> oppress <6231> me.

123. Mine eyes <5869> fail <3615> for thy salvation <3444>, and

for the word <0565> of thy righteousness <6664>.

124. Deal <6213> with thy servant <5650> according unto thy

mercy <2617>, and teach <3925> me thy statutes <2706>.

125 I [am] thy servant <5650>; give me understanding <0995>,

that I may know <3045> thy testimonies <5713>.

126. [It is] time <6256> for [thee], LORD <3068>, to work

<6213>: [for] they have made void <6565> thy law <8451>.

127. Therefore I love <0157> thy commandments <4687> above gold

<2091>; yea, above fine gold <6337>.

128 Therefore I esteem all <3605> [thy] precepts <6490>

[concerning] all <3605> [things to be] right <3474>; [and] I

hate <8130> every <3605> false <8267> way <0734>.

129. PE. Thy testimonies <5715> [are] wonderful <6382>:

therefore doth my soul <5315> keep <5341> them.

130. The entrance <6608> of thy words <1697> giveth light

<0216>; it giveth understanding <0995> unto the simple <6612>.

131. I opened <6473> my mouth <6310>, and panted <7602>: for I

longed <2968> for thy commandments <4687>.

132. Look <6437> thou upon me, and be merciful <2603> unto me,

as thou usest <4941> to do unto those that love <0157> thy name

<8034>.

133. Order <3559> my steps <6471> in thy word <0565>: and let

not any <3605> iniquity <0205> have dominion <7980> over me.

134. Deliver <6299> me from the oppression <6233> of man <0120>:

so will I keep <8104> thy precepts <6490>.

135. Make thy face <6440> to shine <0215> upon thy servant

<5650>; and teach <3925> me thy statutes <2706>.

136. Rivers <6388> of waters <4325> run <3381> down mine eyes

<5869>, because <5921> they keep <8104> not thy law <8451>.

137. TZADDI. Righteous <6662> [art] thou, O LORD <3068>, and

upright <3477> [are] thy judgments <4941>.

138 Thy testimonies <5713> [that] thou hast commanded <6680>

[are] righteous <6664> and very <3966> faithful <0530>.

139. My zeal <7068> hath consumed <6789> me, because <3588>

mine enemies <6862> have forgotten <7911> thy words <1697>.

140. Thy word <0565> [is] very <3966> pure <6884>: therefore

thy servant <5650> loveth <0157> it.

141. I [am] small <6810> and despised <0959>: [yet] do not I

forget <7911> thy precepts <6490>.

142. Thy righteousness <6666> [is] an everlasting <5769>

righteousness <6664>, and thy law <8451> [is] the truth <0571>.

143. Trouble <6862> and anguish <4689> have taken <4672> hold

<4672> on me: [yet] thy commandments <4687> [are] my delights

<8191>.

144 The righteousness <6664> of thy testimonies <5715> [is]

everlasting <5769>: give me understanding <0995>, and I shall

live <2421>.

145. KOPH. I cried <7121> with [my] whole heart <3820>; hear

<6030> me, O LORD <3068>: I will keep <5341> thy statutes <2706>.

146 I cried <7121> unto thee; save <3467> me, and I shall keep

<8104> thy testimonies <5713>.

147. I prevented <6923> the dawning <5399> of the morning, and

cried <7768>: I hoped <3176> in thy word <1697>.

148 Mine eyes <5869> prevent <6923> the [night] watches <0821>,

that I might meditate <7878> in thy word <0565>.

149. Hear <8085> my voice <6963> according unto thy

lovingkindness <2617>: O LORD <3068>, quicken <2421> me

according to thy judgment <4941>.

150. They draw nigh <7126> that follow <7291> after mischief

<2154>: they are far <7368> from thy law <8451>.

151 Thou [art] near <7138>, O LORD <3068>; and all <3605> thy

commandments <4687> [are] truth <0571>.

152. Concerning thy testimonies <5713>, I have known <3045> of

old <6924> that thou hast founded <3245> them for ever <5769>.

153. RESH. Consider <7200> mine affliction <6040>, and deliver

<2502> me: for I do not forget <7911> thy law <8451>.

154 Plead <7378> my cause <7379>, and deliver <1350> me:

quicken <2421> me according to thy word <0565>.

155. Salvation <3444> [is] far <7350> from the wicked <7563>:

for they seek <1875> not thy statutes <2706>.

156. Great <7227> [are] thy tender mercies <7356>, O LORD

<3068>: quicken <2421> me according to thy judgments <4941>.

157. Many <7227> [are] my persecutors <7291> and mine enemies

<6862>; [yet] do I not decline <5186> from thy testimonies

<5715>.

158. I beheld <7200> the transgressors <0898>, and was grieved

<6962>; because <0834> they kept <8104> not thy word <0565>.

159. Consider <7200> how <3588> I love <0157> thy precepts

<6490>: quicken <2421> me, O LORD <3068>, according to thy

lovingkindness <2617>.

160. Thy word <1697> [is] true <0571> [from] the beginning

<7218>: and every <3605> one of thy righteous <6664> judgments

<4941> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

161. SCHIN. Princes <8269> have persecuted <7291> me without

<2600> a cause <2600>: but my heart <3820> standeth in awe

<6342> of thy word <1697>.

162. I rejoice <7797> at <5921> thy word <0565>, as one that

findeth <4672> great <7227> spoil <7998>.

163. I hate <8130> and abhor <8581> lying <8267>: [but] thy law

<8451> do I love <0157>.

164. Seven <7651> times a day <3117> do I praise <1984> thee

because <5921> of thy righteous <6664> judgments <4941>.

165. Great <7227> peace <7965> have they which love <0157> thy

law <8451>: and nothing <0369> shall offend <4383> them.

166. LORD <3068>, I have hoped <7663> for thy salvation <3444>,

and done <6213> thy commandments <4687>.

167. My soul <5315> hath kept <8104> thy testimonies <5713>;

and I love <0157> them exceedingly <3966>.

168 I have kept <8104> thy precepts <6490> and thy testimonies

<5713>: for all <3605> my ways <1870> [are] before <5048> thee.

169. TAU. Let my cry <7440> come <7126> near <7126> before

<6440> thee, O LORD <3068>: give me understanding <0995>

according to thy word <1697>.

170 Let my supplication <8467> come <0935> before <6440> thee:

deliver <5337> me according to thy word <0565>.

171. My lips <8193> shall utter <5042> praise <8416>, when

<3588> thou hast taught <3925> me thy statutes <2706>.

172. My tongue <3956> shall speak <6030> of thy word <0565>:

for all <3605> thy commandments <4687> [are] righteousness

<6664>.

173. Let thine hand <3027> help <5826> me; for I have chosen

<0977> thy precepts <6490>.

174 I have longed <8373> for thy salvation <3444>, O LORD

<3068>; and thy law <8451> [is] my delight <8191>.

175. Let my soul <5315> live <2421>, and it shall praise <1984>

thee; and let thy judgments <4941> help <5826> me.

176. I have gone <8582> astray <8582> like a lost <6> sheep

<7716>; seek <1245> thy servant <5650>; for I do not forget

<7911> thy commandments <4687>.

Psalms 120

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. In my distress <6869> I

cried <7121> unto the LORD <3068>, and he heard <6030> me.

2 Deliver <5337> my soul <5315>, O LORD <3068>, from lying

<8267> lips <8193>, [and] from a deceitful <7423> tongue <3956>.

3 What <4100> shall be given <5414> unto thee? or what <4100>

shall be done <3254> unto thee, thou false <7423> tongue <3956>?

4 Sharp <8150> arrows <2671> of the mighty <1368>, with coals

<1513> of juniper <7574>.

5. Woe <0190> is me, that I sojourn <1481> in Mesech <4902>,

[that] I dwell <7931> in the tents <0168> of Kedar <6938>!

6 My soul <5315> hath long <7227> dwelt <7931> with him that

hateth <8130> peace <7965>.

7 I [am for] peace <7965>: but when <3588> I speak <1696>, they

[are] for war <4421>.

Psalms 121

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. I will lift <5375> up mine

eyes <5869> unto the hills <2022>, from whence <0370> cometh

<0935> my help <5828>.

2 My help <5828> [cometh] from the LORD <3068>, which made

<6213> heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.

3 He will not suffer <5414> thy foot <7272> to be moved <4132>:

he that keepeth <8104> thee will not slumber <5123>.

4 Behold <2009>, he that keepeth <8104> Israel <3478> shall

neither <3804> slumber <5123> nor <3808> sleep <3462>.

5 The LORD <3068> [is] thy keeper <8104>: the LORD <3068> [is]

thy shade <6783> upon thy right <3225> hand <3027>.

6 The sun <8121> shall not smite <5221> thee by day <3119>, nor

the moon <3394> by night <3915>.

7 The LORD <3068> shall preserve <8104> thee from all <3605>

evil <7451>: he shall preserve <8104> thy soul <5315>.

8 The LORD <3068> shall preserve <8104> thy going <3318> out

and thy coming <0935> in from this time forth, and even for

evermore <5769>.

Psalms 122

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609> of David <1732>. I was glad

<8056> when they said <0559> unto me, Let us go <3212> into the

house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.

2 Our feet <7272> shall stand <5975> within thy gates <8179>, O

Jerusalem <3389>.

3 Jerusalem <3389> is builded <1129> as a city <5892> that is

compact <2266> together <3162>:

4 Whither <8033> the tribes <7626> go <5927> up, the tribes

<7626> of the LORD <3050>, unto the testimony <5715> of Israel

<3478>, to give thanks <3034> unto the name <8034> of the LORD

<3068>.

5 For there <8033> are set <3427> thrones <3678> of judgment

<4941>, the thrones <3678> of the house <1004> of David <1732>.

6. Pray <7592> for the peace <7965> of Jerusalem <3389>: they

shall prosper <7951> that love <0157> thee.

7 Peace <7965> be within thy walls <2426>, [and] prosperity

<7962> within thy palaces <0759>.

8 For my brethren <0251> and companions <7453>' sakes <6616>, I

will now <4994> say <1696>, Peace <7965> [be] within thee.

9 Because <4616> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> our God

<0430> I will seek <1245> thy good <2896>.

Psalms 123

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. Unto thee lift <5375> I up

mine eyes <5869>, O thou that dwellest <3427> in the heavens

<8064>.

2 Behold <2009>, as the eyes <5869> of servants <5650> [look]

unto the hand <3027> of their masters <0113>, [and] as the eyes

<5869> of a maiden <8198> unto the hand <3027> of her mistress

<1404>; so <3651> our eyes <5869> [wait] upon the LORD <3068>

our God <0430>, until <5704> that he have mercy <2603> upon us.

3 Have mercy <2603> upon us, O LORD <3068>, have mercy <2603>

upon us: for we are exceedingly <7227> filled <7646> with

contempt <0937>.

4 Our soul <5315> is exceedingly <7227> filled <7646> with the

scorning <3933> of those that are at ease <7600>, [and] with the

contempt <0937> of the proud <1349>.

Psalms 124

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609> of David <1723>. If <3884>

[it had not been <1961>] the LORD <3068> who was on our side,

now <4994> may Israel <3478> say <0559>;

2 If <3884> [it had not been <1961>] the LORD <3068> who was on

our side, when men <0120> rose <6965> up against <5921> us:

3 Then <0233> they had swallowed <1104> us up quick <2416>,

when their wrath <0639> was kindled <2734> against us:

4 Then <0233> the waters <4325> had overwhelmed <7857> us, the

stream <5158> had gone <5674> over <5674> our soul <5315>:

5 Then <0233> the proud <2121> waters <4325> had gone <5674>

over <5674> our soul <5315>.

6. Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD <3068>, who hath not given

<5414> us [as] a prey <2964> to their teeth <8127>.

7 Our soul <5315> is escaped <4422> as a bird <6833> out of the

snare <6341> of the fowlers <3369>: the snare <6341> is broken

<7665>, and we are escaped <4422>.

8 Our help <5828> [is] in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>,

who made <6213> heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.

Psalms 125

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. They that trust <0982> in

the LORD <3068> [shall be] as mount <2022> Zion <6726>, [which]

cannot <3808> be removed <4131>, [but] abideth <3427> for ever

<5769>.

2 As the mountains <2022> [are] round <5439> about Jerusalem

<3389>, so the LORD <3068> [is] round <5439> about his people

<5971> from henceforth <6258> even for ever <5769>.

3 For the rod <7626> of the wicked <7562> shall not rest <5117>

upon the lot <1486> of the righteous <6662>; lest the righteous

<6662> put <7971> forth <7971> their hands <3027> unto iniquity

<5766>.

4. Do good <2895>, O LORD <3068>, unto [those that be] good

<2896>, and [to them that are] upright <3477> in their hearts

<3826>.

5 As for such as turn <5186> aside <5186> unto their crooked

<6128> ways, the LORD <3068> shall lead <3212> them forth with

the workers <6466> of iniquity <0205>: [but] peace <7965> [shall

be] upon Israel <3478>.

Psalms 126

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. When the LORD <3068> turned

<7725> again the captivity <7622> of Zion <6726>, we were like

them that dream <2472>.

2 Then <0227> was our mouth <6310> filled <4390> with laughter

<7814>, and our tongue <3956> with singing <7440>: then <0227>

said <0559> they among the heathen <1471>, The LORD <3068> hath

done <6213> great <1431> things for them.

3 The LORD <3068> hath done <6213> great <1431> things for us;

[whereof] we are glad <8056>.

4. Turn <7725> again <7725> our captivity <7622>, O LORD <3068>,

as the streams <0650> in the south <5045>.

5 They that sow <2232> in tears <1832> shall reap <7114> in joy

<7440>.

6 He that goeth <3212> forth and weepeth <1058>, bearing <5375>

precious <4901> seed <2233>, shall doubtless come <0935> again

with rejoicing <7440>, bringing <5375> his sheaves <0485> [with

him].

Psalms 127

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609> for Solomon <8010>. Except

the LORD <3068> build <1129> the house <1004>, they labour

<5998> in vain <7723> that build <1129> it: except the LORD

<3068> keep <8104> the city <5892>, the watchman <8104> waketh

<8245> [but] in vain <7723>.

2 [It is] vain <7723> for you to rise <6965> up early <7925>,

to sit <3427> up late <0309>, to eat <0398> the bread <3899> of

sorrows <6089>: [for] so <3651> he giveth <5414> his beloved

<3039> sleep <8142>.

3 Lo <2009>, children <1121> [are] an heritage <5159> of the

LORD <3068>: [and] the fruit <6529> of the womb <0990> [is his]

reward <7939>.

4 As arrows <2671> [are] in the hand <3027> of a mighty <1368>

man; so <3651> [are] children <1121> of the youth <5271>.

5 Happy <0835> [is] the man <1397> that hath his quiver <0827>

full <4390> of them: they shall not be ashamed <0954>, but they

shall speak <1696> with the enemies <0341> in the gate <8179>.

Psalms 128

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. Blessed <0835> [is] every

<3605> one that feareth <3373> the LORD <3068>; that walketh

<1980> in his ways <1870>.

2 For thou shalt eat <0398> the labour <3018> of thine hands

<3709>: happy <0835> [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well

<2896> with thee.

3 Thy wife <0802> [shall be] as a fruitful <6509> vine <1612>

by the sides <3411> of thine house <1004>: thy children <1121>

like olive <2132> plants <8363> round <5439> about thy table

<7979>.

4 Behold <2009>, that thus <3651> shall the man <1397> be

blessed <1288> that feareth <3373> the LORD <3068>.

5 The LORD <3068> shall bless <1288> thee out of Zion <6726>:

and thou shalt see <7200> the good <2898> of Jerusalem <3389>

all <3605> the days <3117> of thy life <2416>.

6 Yea, thou shalt see <7200> thy children's <1121> children

<1121>, [and] peace <7965> upon Israel <3478>.

Psalms 129

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. Many <7227> a time <7227>

have they afflicted <6887> me from my youth <5271>, may Israel

<3478> now <4994> say <0559>:

2 Many <7227> a time <7227> have they afflicted <6887> me from

my youth <5271>: yet <1571> they have not prevailed <3201>

against me.

3 The plowers <2790> plowed <2790> upon my back <1354>: they

made long <0748> their furrows <4618>.

4 The LORD <3068> [is] righteous <6662>: he hath cut <7112>

asunder the cords <5688> of the wicked <7563>.

5. Let them all <3605> be confounded <0954> and turned <5472>

back <0268> that hate <8130> Zion <6726>.

6 Let them be as the grass <2682> [upon] the housetops <1406>,

which withereth <3001> afore <6924> it groweth <8025> up:

7 Wherewith the mower <7114> filleth <4390> not his hand <3709>;

nor he that bindeth <6014> sheaves his bosom <2436>.

8 Neither <3808> do they which go <5674> by say <0559>, The

blessing <1293> of the LORD <3068> [be] upon you: we bless

<1288> you in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 130

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. Out of the depths <4615>

have I cried <7121> unto thee, O LORD <3068>.

2 Lord <0136>, hear <8085> my voice <6963>: let thine ears

<0241> be attentive <7183> to the voice <6963> of my

supplications <8469>.

3 If <0518> thou, LORD <3050>, shouldest mark <8104> iniquities

<5771>, O Lord <0136>, who <4310> shall stand <5975>?

4 But [there is] forgiveness <5547> with thee, that thou mayest

be feared <3372>.

5. I wait <6960> for the LORD <3068>, my soul <5315> doth wait

<6960>, and in his word <1697> do I hope <3176>.

6 My soul <5315> [waiteth] for the Lord <0136> more than they

that watch <8104> for the morning <1242>: [I say, more than]

they that watch <8104> for the morning <1242>.

7 Let Israel <3478> hope <3176> in the LORD <3068>: for with

the LORD <3068> [there is] mercy <2617>, and with him [is]

plenteous <7235> redemption <6304>.

8 And he shall redeem <6299> Israel <3478> from all <3605> his

iniquities <5771>.

Psalms 131

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609> of David <1732>. LORD <3068>,

my heart <3820> is not haughty <1361>, nor <3808> mine eyes

<5869> lofty <7311>: neither <3808> do I exercise <1980> myself

in great <1419> matters <1419>, or in things too high <6381> for

me.

2 Surely I have behaved <7737> and quieted <1826> myself <5315>,

as a child that is weaned <1580> of his mother <0517>: my soul

<5315> [is] even as a weaned <1580> child.

3 Let Israel <3478> hope <3176> in the LORD <3068> from

henceforth <6258> and for ever <5769>.

Psalms 132

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. LORD <3068>, remember

<2142> David <1732>, [and] all <3605> his afflictions <6031>:

2 How <0834> he sware <7650> unto the LORD <3068>, [and] vowed

<5087> unto the mighty <46> [God] of Jacob <3290>;

3 Surely <0518> I will not come <0935> into the tabernacle

<0168> of my house <1004>, nor go <5927> up into <5921> my bed;

4 I will not give <5414> sleep <8142> to mine eyes <5869>, [or]

slumber <8572> to mine eyelids <6079>,

5 Until <5704> I find <4672> out a place <4725> for the LORD

<3068>, an habitation <4908> for the mighty <46> [God] of Jacob

<3290>.

6 Lo <2009>, we heard <8085> of it at Ephratah <0672>: we found

<4672> it in the fields <7704> of the wood <3293>.

7 We will go <0935> into his tabernacles <4908>: we will

worship <7812> at his footstool.

8 Arise <6965>, O LORD <3068>, into thy rest <4496>; thou, and

the ark <0727> of thy strength <5797>.

9 Let thy priests <3548> be clothed <3847> with righteousness

<6664>; and let thy saints <2623> shout <7442> for joy <7442>.

10 For thy servant <5650> David's <1732> sake <5668> turn

<7725> not away the face <6440> of thine anointed <4899>.

11. The LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650> [in] truth <0571> unto

David <1732>; he will not turn <7725> from it; Of the fruit

<6529> of thy body <0990> will I set <7896> upon thy throne

<3678>.

12 If <0518> thy children <1121> will keep <8104> my covenant

<1285> and my testimony <5713> that I shall teach <3925> them,

their children <1121> shall also <1571> sit <3427> upon thy

throne <3678> for evermore <5703>.

13 For the LORD <3068> hath chosen <0977> Zion <6726>; he hath

desired <0183> [it] for his habitation <4186>.

14 This [is] my rest <4496> for ever <5703>: here <6311> will I

dwell <3427>; for I have desired <0183> it.

15 I will abundantly <1288> bless <1288> her provision <6718>:

I will satisfy <7646> her poor <34> with bread <3899>.

16 I will also clothe <3847> her priests <3548> with salvation

<3468>: and her saints <2623> shall shout <7442> aloud <7442>

for joy <7442>.

17 There <8033> will I make <6213> the horn <7161> of David

<1732> to bud <6779>: I have ordained <6186> a lamp <5216> for

mine anointed <4899>.

18 His enemies <0341> will I clothe <3847> with shame <1322>:

but upon himself shall his crown <5145> flourish <6692>.

Psalms 133

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609> of David <1732>. Behold

<2009>, how <4100> good <2896> and how <4100> pleasant <5273>

[it is] for brethren <0251> to dwell <3427> together <3162> in

unity <3162>!

2 [It is] like the precious <2896> ointment <8081> upon the

head <7218>, that ran <3331> down <3381> upon the beard <2206>,

[even] Aaron's <0175> beard <2206>: that went <3381> down <3381>

to the skirts <6310> of his garments <4060>;

3 As the dew <2919> of Hermon <2768>, [and as the dew <2919>]

that descended <3381> upon the mountains <2042> of Zion <6726>:

for there <8033> the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> the blessing

<1293>, [even] life <2416> for evermore <5769>.

Psalms 134

1. A Song <7892> of degrees <4609>. Behold <2009>, bless <1288>

ye the LORD <3068>, all <3605> [ye] servants <5650> of the LORD

<3068>, which by night <3915> stand <5975> in the house <1004>

of the LORD <3068>.

2 Lift <5375> up your hands <3027> [in] the sanctuary <6944>,

and bless <1288> the LORD <3068>.

3 The LORD <3068> that made <6213> heaven <8064> and earth

<0776> bless <1288> thee out of Zion <6726>.

Psalms 135

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. Praise <1984> ye the name

<8034> of the LORD <3068>; praise <1984> [him], O ye servants

<5650> of the LORD <3068>.

2 Ye that stand <5975> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,

in the courts <2691> of the house <1004> of our God <0430>,

3 Praise <1984> the LORD <3050>; for the LORD <3068> [is] good

<2896>: sing <2167> praises unto his name <8034>; for [it is]

pleasant <5273>.

4 For the LORD <3050> hath chosen <0977> Jacob <3290> unto

himself, [and] Israel <3478> for his peculiar <5459> treasure.

5. For I know <3045> that the LORD <3068> [is] great <1419>,

and [that] our Lord <0113> [is] above all <3605> gods <0430>.

6 Whatsoever the LORD <3068> pleased <2654>, [that] did <6213>

he in heaven <8064>, and in earth <0776>, in the seas <3220>,

and all <3605> deep <8415> places.

7 He causeth the vapours <5387> to ascend <5927> from the ends

<7097> of the earth <0776>; he maketh <6213> lightnings <1300>

for the rain <4306>; he bringeth <3318> the wind <7307> out of

his treasuries <0214>.

8 Who smote <5221> the firstborn <1060> of Egypt <4714>, both

of man <0120> and beast <0929>.

9 [Who] sent <7971> tokens <0226> and wonders <4159> into the

midst <8432> of thee, O Egypt <4714>, upon Pharaoh <6547>, and

upon all <3605> his servants <5650>.

10 Who smote <5221> great <7227> nations <1471>, and slew

<2026> mighty <6099> kings <4428>;

11 Sihon <5511> king <4428> of the Amorites <0567>, and Og

<5747> king <4428> of Bashan <1316>, and all <3605> the kingdoms

<4467> of Canaan <3667>:

12 And gave <5414> their land <0776> [for] an heritage <5159>,

an heritage <5159> unto Israel <3478> his people <5971>.

13 Thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068>, [endureth] for ever <5769>;

[and] thy memorial <2143>, O LORD <3068>, throughout all

generations <1755>.

14 For the LORD <3068> will judge <1777> his people <5971>, and

he will repent <5162> himself concerning <5921> his servants

<5650>.

15. The idols <6091> of the heathen <1471> [are] silver <3701>

and gold <2091>, the work <4639> of men's <0120> hands <3027>.

16 They have mouths <6310>, but they speak <1696> not; eyes

<5869> have they, but they see <7200> not;

17 They have ears <0241>, but they hear <0238> not; neither

<0369> is there [any] breath <7307> in their mouths <6310>.

18 They that make <6213> them are like <3644> unto them: [so

is] every <3605> one that trusteth <0982> in them.

19 Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O house <1004> of Israel

<3478>: bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O house <1004> of Aaron

<0175>:

20 Bless <1288> the LORD <3068>, O house <1004> of Levi <3878>:

ye that fear <3373> the LORD <3068>, bless <1288> the LORD

<3068>.

21 Blessed <1288> be the LORD <3068> out of Zion <6726>, which

dwelleth <7931> at Jerusalem <3389>. Praise <1984> ye the LORD

<3050>.

Psalms 136

<2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

9 The moon <3394> and stars <3556> to rule <4475> by night

<3915>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

10. To him that smote <5221> Egypt <4714> in their firstborn

<1060>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

11 And brought <3318> out Israel <3478> from among <8432> them:

for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

12 With a strong <2389> hand <3027>, and with a stretched

<5186> out arm <2220>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever

<5769>.

13 To him which divided <1504> the Red <5488> sea <3220> into

parts <1506>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

14 And made Israel <3478> to pass <5674> through <8432> the

midst <8432> of it: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever

<5769>:

15 But overthrew <5286> Pharaoh <6547> and his host <2428> in

the Red <5488> sea <3220>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for

ever <5769>.

16 To him which led <3212> his people <5971> through the

wilderness <4057>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever

<5769>.

17 To him which smote <5221> great <1419> kings <4428>: for his

mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

18 And slew <2026> famous <0117> kings <4428>: for his mercy

<2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

19 Sihon <5511> king <4428> of the Amorites <0567>: for his

mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

20 And Og <5747> the king <4428> of Bashan <1316>: for his

mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

21 And gave <5414> their land <0776> for an heritage <5159>:

for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

22 [Even] an heritage <5159> unto Israel <3478> his servant

<5650>: for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

23. Who remembered <2142> us in our low <8213> estate: for his

mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>:

24 And hath redeemed <6561> us from our enemies <6862>: for his

mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

25 Who giveth <5414> food <3899> to all <3605> flesh <1320>:

for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

26 O give thanks <3034> unto the God <0410> of heaven <8064>:

for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>.

Psalms 137

1. By the rivers <5104> of Babylon <0894>, there <8033> we sat

<3427> down, yea <1571>, we wept <1058>, when we remembered

<2142> Zion <6726>.

2 We hanged <8518> our harps <3658> upon the willows <6155> in

the midst <8432> thereof.

3 For there <8033> they that carried <7617> us away captive

<7617> required <7592> of us a song; and they that wasted <8437>

us [required of us] mirth <8057>, [saying], Sing <7891> us [one]

of the songs <7892> of Zion <6726>.

4 How <0349> shall we sing <7891> the LORD'S <3068> song <7892>

in a strange <5236> land <0127>?

5 If <0518> I forget <7911> thee, O Jerusalem <3389>, let my

right <3225> hand <3225> forget <7911> [her cunning].

6 If <0518> I do not remember <2142> thee, let my tongue <3956>

cleave <1692> to the roof <2441> of my mouth <2441>; if <0518> I

prefer <5927> not Jerusalem <3389> above <5921> my chief <7218>

joy <8057>.

7. Remember <2142>, O LORD <3068>, the children <1121> of Edom

<0123> in the day <3117> of Jerusalem <3389>; who said <0559>,

Rase <6168> [it], rase <6168> [it, even] to the foundation

<3247> thereof.

8 O daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>, who art to be destroyed

<7703>; happy <0835> [shall he be], that rewardeth <7999> thee

as thou hast served <1580> us.

9 Happy <0835> [shall he be], that taketh <0270> and dasheth

<5310> thy little <5768> ones against <0413> the stones <5553>.

Psalms 138

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. I will praise <3034> thee with my

whole <3605> heart <3820>: before <5048> the gods <0430> will I

sing <2167> praise <2167> unto thee.

2 I will worship <7812> toward <0413> thy holy <6944> temple

<1964>, and praise <3034> thy name <8034> for thy lovingkindness

<2617> and for thy truth <0571>: for thou hast magnified <1431>

thy word <0565> above <5921> all <3605> thy name <8034>.

3 In the day <3117> when I cried <7121> thou answeredst <6030>

me, [and] strengthenedst <7292> me [with] strength <5797> in my

soul <5315>.

4 All <3605> the kings <4428> of the earth <0776> shall praise

<3034> thee, O LORD <3068>, when <3588> they hear <8085> the

words <0561> of thy mouth <6310>.

5 Yea, they shall sing <7891> in the ways <1870> of the LORD

<3068>: for great <1419> [is] the glory <3519> of the LORD

<3068>.

6. Though <3588> the LORD <3068> [be] high <7311>, yet hath he

respect <7200> unto the lowly <8217>: but the proud <1364> he

knoweth <3045> afar <4801> off.

7 Though <0518> I walk <3212> in the midst <7130> of trouble

<6869>, thou wilt revive <2421> me: thou shalt stretch <7971>

forth thine hand <3027> against <5921> the wrath <0639> of mine

enemies <0341>, and thy right <3225> hand <3225> shall save

<3467> me.

8 The LORD <3068> will perfect <1584> [that which] concerneth

<1157> me: thy mercy <2617>, O LORD <3068>, [endureth] for ever

<5769>: forsake <7503> not the works <4639> of thine own hands

<3027>.

Psalms 139

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

O LORD <3068>, thou hast searched <2713> me, and known <3045>

[me].

2 Thou knowest <3045> my downsitting <3427> and mine uprising

<6965>, thou understandest <0995> my thought <7454> afar <7350>

off.

3 Thou compassest <2219> my path <0734> and my lying <7252>

down <7252>, and art acquainted <5532> [with] all <3605> my ways

<1870>.

4 For [there is] not a word <4405> in my tongue <3956>, [but],

lo <2005>, O LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045> it altogether

<3605>.

5 Thou hast beset <6696> me behind <0268> and before <6924>,

and laid <7896> thine hand <3709> upon me.

6 [Such] knowledge <1847> [is] too wonderful <6383> for me; it

is high <7682>, I cannot [attain] unto it.

7. Whither <0575> shall I go <3212> from thy spirit <7307>? or

whither <0575> shall I flee <1272> from thy presence <6440>?

8 If <0518> I ascend <5927> up into heaven <8064>, thou [art]

there <8033>: if I make <3331> my bed <3331> in hell <7585>,

behold <2009>, thou [art there].

9 [If] I take <5375> the wings <3671> of the morning <7837>,

[and] dwell <7931> in the uttermost <0319> parts of the sea

<3220>;

10 Even <1571> there <8033> shall thy hand <3027> lead <5148>

me, and thy right <3225> hand <3225> shall hold <0270> me.

11 If I say <0559>, Surely <0389> the darkness <2822> shall

cover <7779> me; even the night <3915> shall be light <0216>

about <1157> me.

12 Yea <1571>, the darkness <2822> hideth <2721> not from thee;

but the night <3915> shineth <0215> as the day <3117>: the

darkness <2825> and the light <0219> [are] both alike [to thee].

13 For thou hast possessed <7069> my reins <3629>: thou hast

covered <5526> me in my mother's <0517> womb <0990>.

14 I will praise <3034> thee; for I am fearfully <3372> [and]

wonderfully <6395> made: marvellous <6381> [are] thy works

<4639>; and [that] my soul <5315> knoweth <3045> right well.

15 My substance <6108> was not hid <3582> from thee, when

<0834> I was made <6213> in secret <5643>, [and] curiously

<7551> wrought <7551> in the lowest <8482> parts of the earth

<0776>.

16 Thine eyes <5869> did see <7200> my substance <1564>, yet

being unperfect; and in thy book <5612> all <3605> [my members]

were written <3789>, [which] in continuance <3117> were

fashioned <3335>, when [as yet there was] none of them.

17. How <4100> precious <3365> also are thy thoughts <7454>

unto me, O God <0410>! how <4100> great <6105> is the sum <7218>

of them!

18 [If] I should count <5608> them, they are more <7235> in

number than the sand <2344>: when I awake <6974>, I am still

<5750> with thee.

19 Surely <0518> thou wilt slay <6991> the wicked <7563>, O God

<0433>: depart <5493> from me therefore, ye bloody <1818> men

<0582>.

20 For they speak <0559> against thee wickedly <4209>, [and]

thine enemies <6145> take <5375> [thy name] in vain <7723>.

21 Do not I hate <8130> them, O LORD <3068>, that hate <8130>

thee? and am not I grieved <6962> with those that rise <8618> up

against thee?

22 I hate <8130> them with perfect <8503> hatred <8135>: I

count <1961> them mine enemies <0341>.

23 Search <2713> me, O God <0410>, and know <3045> my heart

<3824>: try <0974> me, and know <3045> my thoughts <8312>:

24 And see <7200> if <0518> [there be any] wicked <6090> way

<1870> in me, and lead <5148> me in the way <1870> everlasting

<5769>.

Psalms 140

1. To the chief Musician <5329>, A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>.

Deliver <2502> me, O LORD <3068>, from the evil <7451> man

<0120>: preserve <5341> me from the violent <2555> man <0376>;

2 Which <0834> imagine <2803> mischiefs <7451> in [their] heart

<3820>; continually are they gathered <1481> together [for] war

<4421>.

3 They have sharpened <8150> their tongues <3956> like <3644> a

serpent <5175>; adders <5919>' poison <2534> [is] under <8478>

their lips <8193>. Selah <5542>.

4 Keep <8104> me, O LORD <3068>, from the hands <3027> of the

wicked <7563>; preserve <5341> me from the violent <2555> man

<0376>; who <0834> have purposed <2803> to overthrow <1760> my

goings <6471>.

5 The proud <1343> have hid <2934> a snare <6341> for me, and

cords <2256>; they have spread <6566> a net <7568> by the

wayside; they have set <7896> gins <4170> for me. Selah <5542>.

6 I said <0559> unto the LORD <3068>, Thou [art] my God <0410>:

hear <0238> the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>, O LORD

<3068>.

7 O GOD <3069> the Lord <0136>, the strength <5797> of my

salvation <3444>, thou hast covered <5526> my head <7218> in the

day <3117> of battle <5402>.

8. Grant <5414> not, O LORD <3068>, the desires <3970> of the

wicked <7563>: further <6329> not his wicked <2162> device;

[lest] they exalt <7311> themselves. Selah <5542>.

9 [As for] the head <7218> of those that compass <4524> me

about, let the mischief <5999> of their own lips <8193> cover

<3680> them.

10 Let burning <0784> coals <1513> fall <4131> upon them: let

them be cast <5307> into the fire <0784>; into deep <4113> pits,

that they rise <6965> not up again.

11 Let not an evil speaker be established <3559> in the earth

<0776>: evil <7451> shall hunt <6679> the violent <2555> man

<0376> to overthrow <4073> [him].

12 I know <3045> that the LORD <3068> will maintain <6213> the

cause <1779> of the afflicted <6041>, [and] the right <4941> of

the poor <34>.

13 Surely the righteous <6662> shall give thanks <3034> unto

thy name <8034>: the upright <3477> shall dwell <3427> in thy

presence <6440>.

Psalms 141

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. LORD <3068>, I cry <7121>

unto thee: make haste <2363> unto me; give ear <0238> unto my

voice <6963>, when I cry <7121> unto thee.

2 Let my prayer <8605> be set <3559> forth before <6440> thee

[as] incense <7004>; [and] the lifting <4864> up of my hands

<3709> [as] the evening <6153> sacrifice <4503>.

3 Set <7896> a watch <8108>, O LORD <3068>, before my mouth

<6310>; keep <5341> the door <1817> of my lips <8193>.

4 Incline <5186> not my heart <3820> to [any] evil <7451> thing

<1697>, to practise <5953> wicked <7562> works <5949> with men

<0376> that work <5950> iniquity <0205>: and let me not eat

<3898> of their dainties <4516>.

5. Let the righteous <6662> smite <1986> me; [it shall be] a

kindness <2617>: and let him reprove <3198> me; [it shall be] an

excellent <7218> oil <8081>, [which] shall not break <5106> my

head <7218>: for yet <5750> my prayer <8605> also [shall be] in

their calamities <7451>.

6 When their judges <8199> are overthrown <8058> in stony

<5553> places <3027>, they shall hear <8085> my words <0561>;

for they are sweet <5276>.

7 Our bones <6106> are scattered <6340> at the grave's mouth

<6310>, as when one cutteth <6398> and cleaveth <1234> [wood]

upon the earth <0776>.

8 But mine eyes <5869> [are] unto thee, O GOD <3069> the Lord

<0136>: in thee is my trust <2620>; leave <6168> not my soul

<5315> destitute <6168>.

9 Keep <8104> me from the snares <6341> [which] they have laid

<3369> for me, and the gins <4170> of the workers <6466> of

iniquity <0205>.

10 Let the wicked <7563> fall <5307> into their own <0249> nets

<4365>, whilst <5704> that I withal <3162> escape <5674>.

Psalms 142

1. Maschil <7919> of David <1732>; A Prayer <8605> when he was

<1961> in the cave <4631>. I cried <2199> unto the LORD <3068>

with my voice <6963>; with my voice <6963> unto the LORD <3068>

did I make my supplication <2603>.

2 I poured <8210> out my complaint <7878> before <6440> him; I

shewed <5046> before <6440> him my trouble <6869>.

3 When my spirit <7307> was overwhelmed <5848> within <5921> me,

then thou knewest <3045> my path <5410>. In the way <0734>

wherein <2098> I walked <1980> have they privily <2934> laid

<2934> a snare <6341> for me.

4. I looked <5027> on [my] right <3225> hand <3225>, and beheld

<7200>, but [there was] no <0369> man that would know <5234> me:

refuge <4498> failed <6> me; no <0369> man cared <1875> for my

soul <5315>.

5 I cried <2199> unto thee, O LORD <3068>: I said <0559>, Thou

[art] my refuge <4268> [and] my portion <2506> in the land

<0776> of the living <2416>.

6 Attend <7181> unto my cry <7440>; for I am brought <1809>

very <3966> low <1809>: deliver <5337> me from my persecutors

<7291>; for they are stronger <0553> than I.

7 Bring <3318> my soul <5315> out of prison <4525>, that I may

praise <3034> thy name <8034>: the righteous <6662> shall

compass <3803> me about; for thou shalt deal <1580> bountifully

<1580> with me.

Psalms 143

1. A Psalm <4210> of David <1732>. Hear <8085> my prayer <8605>,

O LORD <3068>, give ear <0238> to my supplications <8469>: in

thy faithfulness <0530> answer <6030> me, [and] in thy

righteousness <6666>.

2 And enter <0935> not into judgment <4941> with thy servant

<5650>: for in thy sight <6440> shall no <3808> man living

<2416> be justified <6663>.

3 For the enemy <0341> hath persecuted <7291> my soul <5315>;

he hath smitten <1792> my life <2416> down to the ground <0776>;

he hath made me to dwell <3427> in darkness <4285>, as those

that have been long <5769> dead <4191>.

4 Therefore is my spirit <7307> overwhelmed <5848> within

<5921> me; my heart <3820> within <8432> me is desolate <8074>.

5 I remember <2142> the days <3117> of old <6924>; I meditate

<1897> on all <3605> thy works <6467>; I muse <7878> on the work

<4639> of thy hands <3027>.

6 I stretch <6566> forth my hands <3027> unto thee: my soul

<5315> [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land <0776>. Selah

<5542>.

7. Hear <6030> me speedily <4118>, O LORD <3068>: my spirit

<7307> faileth <3615>: hide <5641> not thy face <6440> from me,

lest I be like <4911> unto them that go <3381> down <3381> into

the pit <0953>.

8 Cause me to hear <8085> thy lovingkindness <2617> in the

morning <1242>; for in thee do I trust <0982>: cause me to know

<3045> the way <1870> wherein <2098> I should walk <3212>; for I

lift <5375> up my soul <5315> unto thee.

9 Deliver <5337> me, O LORD <3068>, from mine enemies <0341>: I

flee <3680> unto thee to hide <3680> me.

10 Teach <3925> me to do <6213> thy will <7522>; for thou [art]

my God <0430>: thy spirit <7307> [is] good <2896>; lead <5148>

me into the land <0776> of uprightness <4334>.

11 Quicken <2421> me, O LORD <3068>, for thy name's <8034> sake:

for thy righteousness <6666>' sake bring <3318> my soul <5315>

out of trouble <6869>.

12 And of thy mercy <2617> cut <6789> off mine enemies <0341>,

and destroy <6> all <3605> them that afflict <6887> my soul

<5315>: for I [am] thy servant <5650>.

Psalms 144

1. [A Psalm] of David <1732>. Blessed <1288> [be] the LORD

<3068> my strength <6697>, which teacheth <3925> my hands <3027>

to war, [and] my fingers <0676> to fight <4421>:

2 My goodness <2617>, and my fortress <4686>; my high <4869>

tower <4869>, and my deliverer <6403>; my shield <4043>, and

[he] in whom I trust <2620>; who subdueth <7286> my people

<5971> under <8478> me.

3 LORD <3068>, what <4100> [is] man <0120>, that thou takest

<3947> knowledge <3045> of him! [or] the son <1121> of man

<0582>, that thou makest account <2803> of him!

4 Man <0120> is like <1819> to vanity <1892>: his days <3117>

[are] as a shadow <6738> that passeth <5674> away.

5 Bow <5186> thy heavens <8064>, O LORD <3068>, and come <3381>

down <3381>: touch <5060> the mountains <2022>, and they shall

smoke <6225>.

6 Cast <1299> forth lightning <1300>, and scatter <6327> them:

shoot <7971> out thine arrows <2671>, and destroy <1949> them.

7 Send <7971> thine hand <3027> from above <4791>; rid <6475>

me, and deliver <5337> me out of great <7227> waters <4325>,

from the hand <3027> of strange <5236> children <1121>;

8 Whose <0834> mouth <6310> speaketh <1696> vanity <7723>, and

their right <3225> hand <3225> [is] a right <3225> hand <3225>

of falsehood <8267>.

9. I will sing <7891> a new <2319> song <7892> unto thee, O God

<0430>: upon a psaltery <5035> [and] an instrument of ten <6218>

strings will I sing <2167> praises unto thee.

10 [It is he] that giveth <5414> salvation <8668> unto kings

<4428>: who delivereth <6475> David <1732> his servant <5650>

from the hurtful <7451> sword <2719>.

11 Rid <6475> me, and deliver <5337> me from the hand <3027> of

strange <2114> children <1121>, whose <0834> mouth <6310>

speaketh <1696> vanity <7723>, and their right <3225> hand

<3225> [is] a right <3225> hand <3225> of falsehood <8267>:

12 That our sons <1121> [may be] as plants <5195> grown <1431>

up in their youth <5271>; [that] our daughters <1121> [may be]

as corner <2106> stones <2106>, polished <2404> [after] the

similitude <8403> of a palace <1964>:

13 [That] our garners <4200> [may be] full <4392>, affording

<6329> all manner <2177> of store: [that] our sheep <6629> may

bring <0503> forth thousands <0503> and ten <7231> thousands

<7232> in our streets <2351>:

14 [That] our oxen <0441> [may be] strong to labour <5445>;

[that there be] no <0369> breaking <6556> in, nor <0369> going

<3318> out; that [there be] no <0369> complaining <6682> in our

streets <7339>.

15 Happy <0835> [is that] people <5971>, that is in such <3602>

a case <3602>: [yea], happy <0835> [is that] people <5971>,

whose God <0430> [is] the LORD <3068>.

Psalms 145

1. David's <1732> [Psalm] of praise <8416>. I will extol <7311>

thee, my God <0430>, O king <4428>; and I will bless <1288> thy

name <8034> for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

2 Every <3605> day <3117> will I bless <1288> thee; and I will

praise <1984> thy name <8034> for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

3 Great <1419> [is] the LORD <3068>, and greatly <3966> to be

praised <1984>; and his greatness <1420> [is] unsearchable.

4 One generation <1755> shall praise <7623> thy works <4639> to

another, and shall declare <5046> thy mighty <1369> acts.

5 I will speak <7878> of the glorious <3519> honour <1926> of

thy majesty <1935>, and of thy wondrous <6381> works <1697>.

6 And [men] shall speak <0559> of the might <5807> of thy

terrible <3372> acts: and I will declare <5608> thy greatness

<1420>.

7 They shall abundantly <5042> utter <5042> the memory <2143>

of thy great <7227> goodness <2898>, and shall sing <7442> of

thy righteousness <6666>.

8 The LORD <3068> [is] gracious <2587>, and full of compassion

<7349>; slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and of great <1419> mercy

<2617>.

9 The LORD <3068> [is] good <2896> to all <3605>: and his

tender mercies <7356> [are] over <5921> all <3605> his works

<4639>.

10. All <3605> thy works <4639> shall praise <3034> thee, O

LORD <3068>; and thy saints <2623> shall bless <1288> thee.

11 They shall speak <0559> of the glory <3519> of thy kingdom

<4438>, and talk <1696> of thy power <1369>;

12 To make known <3045> to the sons <1121> of men <0120> his

mighty <1369> acts, and the glorious <3519> majesty <1926> of

his kingdom <4438>.

13 Thy kingdom <4438> [is] an everlasting <5769> kingdom <4438>,

and thy dominion <4475> [endureth] throughout all generations

<1755>.

14 The LORD <3068> upholdeth <5564> all <3605> that fall <5307>,

and raiseth <2210> up all <3605> [those that be] bowed <3721>

down.

15 The eyes <5869> of all <3605> wait <7663> upon thee; and

thou givest <5414> them their meat <0400> in due season <6256>.

16 Thou openest <6605> thine hand <3027>, and satisfiest <7646>

the desire <7522> of every <3605> living <2416> thing.

17 The LORD <3068> [is] righteous <6662> in all <3605> his ways

<1870>, and holy <2623> in all <3605> his works <4639>.

18 The LORD <3068> [is] nigh <7138> unto all <3605> them that

call <7121> upon him, to all <3605> that call <7121> upon him in

truth <0571>.

19 He will fulfil <6213> the desire <7522> of them that fear

<3373> him: he also will hear <8085> their cry <7775>, and will

save <3467> them.

20 The LORD <3068> preserveth <8104> all <3605> them that love

<0157> him: but all <3605> the wicked <7563> will he destroy

<8045>.

21 My mouth <6310> shall speak <1696> the praise <8416> of the

LORD <3068>: and let all <3605> flesh <1320> bless <1288> his

holy <6944> name <8034> for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.

Psalms 146

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>. Praise <1984> the LORD

<3068>, O my soul <5315>.

2 While I live <2416> will I praise <1984> the LORD <3068>: I

will sing <2167> praises unto my God <0430> while <5750> I have

any being <5750>.

3 Put not your trust <0982> in princes <5081>, [nor] in the son

<1121> of man <0120>, in whom [there is] no <0369> help <8668>.

4 His breath <7307> goeth <3318> forth <3318>, he returneth

<7725> to his earth <0127>; in that very day <3117> his thoughts

<6250> perish <6>.

5. Happy <0835> [is he] that [hath] the God <0410> of Jacob

<3290> for his help <5828>, whose hope <7664> [is] in the LORD

<3068> his God <0430>:

6 Which made <6213> heaven <8064>, and earth <0776>, the sea

<3220>, and all <3605> that therein [is]: which keepeth <8104>

truth <0571> for ever <5769>:

7 Which executeth <6213> judgment <4941> for the oppressed

<6231>: which giveth <5414> food <3899> to the hungry <7456>.

The LORD <3068> looseth <5425> the prisoners <0631>:

8 The LORD <3068> openeth <6491> [the eyes of] the blind <5787>:

the LORD <3068> raiseth <2210> them that are bowed <3721> down:

the LORD <3068> loveth <0157> the righteous <6662>:

9 The LORD <3068> preserveth <8104> the strangers <1616>; he

relieveth <5749> the fatherless <3490> and widow <0490>: but the

way <1870> of the wicked <7563> he turneth <5791> upside down.

10 The LORD <3068> shall reign <4427> for ever <5769>, [even]

thy God <0430>, O Zion <6726>, unto all generations <1755>.

Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

Psalms 147

1. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>: for [it is] good <2896> to

sing <2167> praises unto our God <0430>; for [it is] pleasant;

[and] praise <8416> is comely <5000>.

2 The LORD <3068> doth build <1129> up Jerusalem <3389>: he

gathereth <3664> together the outcasts <1760> of Israel <3478>.

3 He healeth <7495> the broken <7665> in heart <3820>, and

bindeth <2280> up their wounds <6094>.

4 He telleth <4487> the number <4557> of the stars <3556>; he

calleth <7121> them all <3605> by [their] names <8034>.

5 Great <1419> [is] our Lord <0113>, and of great <7227> power

<3581>: his understanding <8394> [is] infinite.

6 The LORD <3068> lifteth <5749> up the meek <6035>: he casteth

<8213> the wicked <7563> down <8213> to the ground <0776>.

7 Sing <6030> unto the LORD <3068> with thanksgiving <8426>;

sing <2167> praise upon the harp <3658> unto our God <0430>:

8 Who covereth <3680> the heaven <8064> with clouds <5645>, who

prepareth <3559> rain <4306> for the earth <0776>, who maketh

grass <2682> to grow <6779> upon the mountains <2022>.

9 He giveth <5414> to the beast <0929> his food <3899>, [and]

to the young <1121> ravens <6158> which <0834> cry <7121>.

10 He delighteth <2654> not in the strength <1369> of the horse

<5483>: he taketh not pleasure <7521> in the legs <7785> of a

man <0376>.

11 The LORD <3068> taketh pleasure <7521> in them that fear

<3373> him, in those that hope <3176> in his mercy <2617>.

12. Praise <7623> the LORD <3068>, O Jerusalem <3389>; praise

<1984> thy God <0430>, O Zion <6726>.

13 For he hath strengthened <2388> the bars <1280> of thy gates

<8179>; he hath blessed <1288> thy children <1121> within <7130>

thee.

14 He maketh <7760> peace <7965> [in] thy borders <1366>, [and]

filleth <7646> thee with the finest <2459> of the wheat <2406>.

15 He sendeth <7971> forth his commandment <0565> [upon] earth

<0776>: his word <1697> runneth <7323> very <5704> swiftly

<4120>.

16 He giveth <5414> snow <7950> like wool <6785>: he scattereth

<6340> the hoarfrost <3713> like ashes <0665>.

17 He casteth <7993> forth his ice <7140> like morsels <6595>:

who <4310> can stand <5975> before <6440> his cold <7135>?

18 He sendeth <7971> out his word <1697>, and melteth <4549>

them: he causeth his wind <7307> to blow <5380>, [and] the

waters <4325> flow <5140>.

19 He sheweth <5046> his word <1697> unto Jacob <3290>, his

statutes <2706> and his judgments <4941> unto Israel <3478>.

20 He hath not dealt <6213> so <3651> with any <3605> nation

<1471>: and [as for his] judgments <4941>, they have not known

<3045> them. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

4 Praise <1984> him, ye heavens <8064> of heavens <8064>, and

ye waters <4325> that [be] above <4791> the heavens <8064>.

5 Let them praise <1984> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>:

for he commanded <6680>, and they were created <1254>.

6 He hath also stablished <5975> them for ever <5703> and ever

<5769>: he hath made <5414> a decree <2706> which shall not pass

<5674>.

7. Praise <1984> the LORD <3068> from the earth <0776>, ye

dragons <8577>, and all <3605> deeps <8415>:

8 Fire <0784>, and hail <1259>; snow <7950>, and vapour <7008>;

stormy <5591> wind <7307> fulfilling <6213> his word <1697>:

9 Mountains <2022>, and all <3605> hills <1389>; fruitful

<6529> trees <6086>, and all <3605> cedars <0730>:

things, and flying <3671> fowl <6833>:

11 Kings <4428> of the earth <0776>, and all <3605> people

<3816>; princes <8269>, and all <3605> judges <8199> of the

earth <0776>:

12 Both young <0970> men, and maidens <1330>; old <2205> men,

and children <5288>:

13 Let them praise <1984> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>:

for his name <8034> alone <0905> is excellent <7682>; his glory

<1935> [is] above <4791> the earth <0776> and heaven <8064>.

14 He also exalteth <7311> the horn <7161> of his people <5971>,

the praise <8416> of all <3605> his saints <2623>; [even] of

the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, a people <5971> near

<7138> unto him. Praise <1984> ye the LORD <3050>.

King <4428>.

3 Let them praise <1984> his name <8034> in the dance <4234>:

let them sing <2167> praises unto him with the timbrel <8596>

<5971>: he will beautify <6286> the meek <6035> with salvation

<3444>.

5 Let the saints <2623> be joyful <5937> in glory <3519>: let

them sing <7442> aloud <7442> upon their beds <4904>.

6. [Let] the high <7319> [praises] of God <0410> [be] in their

mouth <1627>, and a twoedged <6374> sword <2719> in their hand

<3027>;

7 To execute <6213> vengeance <5360> upon the heathen <1471>,

[and] punishments <5771> upon the people <3816>;
