==== <PS1>

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

the ungodly,

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

the scornful.

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

law doth he

meditate day and night.

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

water, that

bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not

wither; and

whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

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

the wind

driveth away.

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

nor sinners in

the congregation of the righteous.

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

way of the

ungodly shall perish.

==== <PS2>

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

thing?

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

take counsel

together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],

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

cords from us.

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

shall have them in

derision.

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

in his sore

displeasure.

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

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

Thou [art] my

Son; this day have I begotten thee.

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

thine inheritance,

and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.

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

them in

pieces like a potter's vessel.

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

judges of the

earth.

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

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

way, when his

wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put

their trust in

him.

==== <PS3>

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

how are they

increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against

me.

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

for him in

God. Selah.

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

the lifter up of

mine head.

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

of his holy

hill. Selah.

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

sustained me.

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

have set

[themselves] against me round about.

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

all mine

enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the

ungodly.

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

upon thy people.

Selah.

==== <PS4>

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

me when I

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

was] in

distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

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

shame? [how

long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah.

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

for himself:

the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

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

upon your bed,

and be still. Selah.

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

in the LORD.

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

LORD, lift thou

up the light of thy countenance upon us.

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

[that] their

corn and their wine increased.

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

LORD, only

makest me dwell in safety.

==== <PS5>

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

Give ear to my

words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

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

for unto thee

will I pray.

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

morning will I

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

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

neither

shall evil dwell with thee.

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

workers of

iniquity.

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

abhor the

bloody and deceitful man.

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

multitude of thy

mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

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

enemies; make thy

way straight before my face.

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

inward part [is]

very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they

flatter with their

tongue.

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

counsels; cast

them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have

rebelled

against thee.

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

let them ever

shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that

love thy name

be joyful in thee.

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

wilt thou

compass him as [with] a shield.

==== <PS6>

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

of David. O

LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy

hot displeasure.

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

me; for my

bones are vexed.

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

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

mercies' sake.

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

grave who shall

give thee thanks?

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

to swim; I

water my couch with my tears.

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

because of all

mine enemies.

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

hath heard the

voice of my weeping.

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

receive my prayer.

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

return [and]

be ashamed suddenly.

==== <PS7>

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

concerning the words

of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:

save me from

all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

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

while [there

is] none to deliver.

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

in my hands;

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

me; (yea, I

have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

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

him tread down

my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

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

the rage of

mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou

hast commanded.

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

about: for their

sakes therefore return thou on high.

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

according to my

righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.

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

establish the

just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

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

heart.

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

wicked] every

day.

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

bow, and made

it ready.

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

he ordaineth

his arrows against the persecutors.

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

mischief, and

brought forth falsehood.

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

ditch [which] he

made.

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

violent dealing

shall come down upon his own pate.

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

and will sing

praise to the name of the LORD most high.

==== <PS8>

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

LORD our Lord,

how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy

glory above the

heavens.

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

ordained strength

because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and

the avenger.

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

moon and the

stars, which thou hast ordained;

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

man, that

thou visitest him?

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

and hast crowned

him with glory and honour.

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

hands; thou hast

put all [things] under his feet:

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

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

whatsoever] passeth

through the paths of the seas.

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

earth!

==== <PS9>

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

I will praise

[thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy

marvellous

works.

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

thy name, O

thou most High.

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

perish at thy

presence.

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

satest in the

throne judging right.

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

wicked, thou

hast put out their name for ever and ever.

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

and thou hast

destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

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

throne for

judgment.

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

minister

judgment to the people in uprightness.

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

refuge in times of

trouble.

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

for thou,

LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

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

declare among the

people his doings.

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

them: he

forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

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

suffer] of

them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of

death:

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

daughter of

Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

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

in the net

which they hid is their own foot taken.

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

the wicked

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

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

nations that

forget God.

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

expectation of the

poor shall [not] perish for ever.

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

judged in thy

sight.

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

themselves [to

be but] men. Selah.

==== <PS10>

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

[thyself] in

times of trouble?

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

them be taken

in the devices that they have imagined.

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

blesseth the

covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.

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

not seek [after

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

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

above out of his

sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

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

shall] never

[be] in adversity.

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

his tongue

[is] mischief and vanity.

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

secret places

doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against

the poor.

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

in wait to

catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into

his net.

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

fall by his

strong ones.

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

hideth his face; he

will never see [it].

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

the humble.

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

his heart,

Thou wilt not require [it].

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

spite, to

requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto

thee; thou art

the helper of the fatherless.

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

seek out his

wickedness [till] thou find none.

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

perished out of

his land.

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

wilt prepare

their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

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

of the earth

may no more oppress.

==== <PS11>

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

put I my trust:

how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?

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

their arrow upon

the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

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

do?

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

in heaven:

his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

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

that loveth

violence his soul hateth.

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

and an

horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.

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

countenance doth

behold the upright.

==== <PS12>

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

Help, LORD;

for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the

children of

men.

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

flattering lips

[and] with a double heart do they speak.

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

tongue that

speaketh proud things:

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

[are] our

own: who [is] lord over us?

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

needy, now will

I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from him

that] puffeth at

him.

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

tried in a furnace

of earth, purified seven times.

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

from this

generation for ever.

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

exalted.

==== <PS13>

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

thou forget me,

O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

sorrow in my heart

daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

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

lest I sleep

the [sleep of] death;

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

those that

trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

in thy

salvation.

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

bountifully with me.

==== <PS14>

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

said in his

heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done

abominable works,

[there is] none that doeth good.

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

men, to see if

there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

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

filthy: [there

is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

up my people

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

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

generation of the

righteous.

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

[is] his

refuge.

PS-14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!

when the LORD

bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,

[and] Israel

shall be glad.

==== <PS15>

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

tabernacle? who shall

dwell in thy holy hill?

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

and speaketh the

truth in his heart.

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

to his

neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

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

honoureth them that

fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and

changeth not.

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

reward

against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never

be moved.

==== <PS16>

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

put my trust.

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

Lord: my

goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

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

the excellent,

in whom [is] all my delight.

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

another [god]:

their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up

their names into

my lips.

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

cup: thou

maintainest my lot.

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

I have a

goodly heritage.

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

reins also

instruct me in the night seasons.

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

my right

hand, I shall not be moved.

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

flesh also

shall rest in hope.

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

thou suffer

thine Holy One to see corruption.

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

[is] fulness of

joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.

==== <PS17>

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

my cry, give

ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.

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

eyes behold

the things that are equal.

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

the night; thou

hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my

mouth shall

not transgress.

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

have kept [me

from] the paths of the destroyer.

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

not.

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

incline thine

ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.

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

by thy right

hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise

up [against

them].

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

shadow of thy

wings,

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

enemies, [who]

compass me about.

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

they speak

proudly.

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

their eyes

bowing down to the earth;

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

were a young

lion lurking in secret places.

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

my soul from

the wicked, [which is] thy sword:

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

world, [which

have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest

with thy hid

[treasure]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of

their [substance]

to their babes.

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

shall be

satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

==== <PS18>

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

of the LORD,

who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that]

the LORD

delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the

hand of Saul: And

he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

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

my God, my

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

salvation,

[and] my high tower.

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

so shall I

be saved from mine enemies.

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

ungodly men made

me afraid.

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

death prevented

me.

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

God: he heard

my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even]

into his ears.

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

of the hills

moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

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

of his mouth

devoured: coals were kindled by it.

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

[was] under his

feet.

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

upon the

wings of the wind.

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

about him

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

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

clouds passed, hail

[stones] and coals of fire.

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

gave his

voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.

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

shot out

lightnings, and discomfited them.

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

foundations of the

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

breath of thy

nostrils.

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

waters.

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

which hated me:

for they were too strong for me.

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

LORD was my

stay.

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

delivered me, because

he delighted in me.

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

according to the

cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

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

wickedly departed

from my God.

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

put away his

statutes from me.

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

mine iniquity.

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

righteousness,

according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

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

an upright

man thou wilt show thyself upright;

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

froward thou

wilt show thyself froward.

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

down high

looks.

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

enlighten my

darkness.

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

have I leaped

over a wall.

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

LORD is tried: he

[is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.

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

our God?

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

my way perfect.

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

upon my high

places.

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

broken by mine

arms.

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

and thy right

hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

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

not slip.

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

neither did I turn

again till they were consumed.

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

they are fallen

under my feet.

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

thou hast

subdued under me those that rose up against me.

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

I might

destroy them that hate me.

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

unto the LORD,

but he answered them not.

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

I did cast

them out as the dirt in the streets.

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

[and] thou

hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not

known shall

serve me.

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

strangers shall

submit themselves unto me.

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

their close

places.

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

God of my

salvation be exalted.

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

under me.

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

me up above

those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the

violent man.

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

the heathen,

and sing praises unto thy name.

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

mercy to his

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

==== <PS19>

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

declare the glory

of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.

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

showeth knowledge.

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

is not heard.

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

words to the

end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

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

[and] rejoiceth

as a strong man to run a race.

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

circuit unto

the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

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

the testimony

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

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

heart: the

commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.

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

judgments of

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

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

fine gold:

sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

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

keeping of them

[there is] great reward.

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

secret

[faults].

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

let them not

have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be

innocent from

the great transgression.

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

heart, be

acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

==== <PS20>

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

thee in the day

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

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

out of Zion;

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

sacrifice; Selah.

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

thy counsel.

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

God we will

set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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

hear him from

his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

will remember the

name of the LORD our God.

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

stand upright.

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

==== <PS21>

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

joy in thy

strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he

rejoice!

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

withholden the

request of his lips. Selah.

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

thou settest a

crown of pure gold on his head.

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

[even] length of

days for ever and ever.

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

majesty hast thou

laid upon him.

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

made him

exceeding glad with thy countenance.

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

of the most

High he shall not be moved.

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

hand shall find

out those that hate thee.

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

thine anger: the

LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall

devour them.

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

their seed from

among the children of men.

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

mischievous

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

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

thou shalt

make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of

them.

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

we sing and

praise thy power.

==== <PS22>

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

David. My God,

my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from

helping me, [and

from] the words of my roaring?

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

and in the night

season, and am not silent.

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

praises of Israel.

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

didst deliver

them.

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

in thee, and

were not confounded.

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

despised of the

people.

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

the lip, they

shake the head, [saying],

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

him deliver

him, seeing he delighted in him.

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

didst make me

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

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

from my

mother's belly.

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

is] none to

help.

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

have beset me

round.

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

and a roaring

lion.

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

joint: my

heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

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

cleaveth to my

jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

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

have enclosed

me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

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

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

vesture.

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

haste thee to

help me.

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

power of the dog.

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

from the horns

of the unicorns.

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

of the

congregation will I praise thee.

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

Jacob, glorify

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

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

the

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

cried unto him,

he heard.

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

I will pay my

vows before them that fear him.

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

the LORD that

seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

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

the LORD: and

all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

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

governor among the

nations.

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

all they

that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep

alive his own

soul.

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

Lord for a

generation.

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

unto a people

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

==== <PS23>

PS-23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not

want.

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

me beside the

still waters.

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

righteousness for

his name's sake.

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

death, I will

fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they

comfort me.

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

enemies: thou

anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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

of my life: and

I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

==== <PS24>

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

fulness thereof;

the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

upon the

floods.

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

stand in his

holy place?

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

lifted up his

soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

righteousness from

the God of his salvation.

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

seek thy face, O

Jacob. Selah.

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

everlasting

doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

the LORD

mighty in battle.

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

everlasting

doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

the King of

glory. Selah.

==== <PS25>

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

soul.

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

not mine enemies

triumph over me.

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

ashamed which

transgress without cause.

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

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

God of my

salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

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

lovingkindnesses; for

they [have been] ever of old.

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

according to

thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

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

sinners in the

way.

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

teach his

way.

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

such as keep his

covenant and his testimonies.

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

it [is] great.

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

teach in the way

[that] he shall choose.

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

inherit the earth.

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

and he will show

them his covenant.

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

pluck my feet out

of the net.

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

desolate and

afflicted.

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

me out of my

distresses.

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

my sins.

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

me with cruel

hatred.

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

for I put my

trust in thee.

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

on thee.

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

==== <PS26>

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

in mine

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

not slide.

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

heart.

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

walked in thy

truth.

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

with

dissemblers.

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

sit with the

wicked.

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

thine altar, O

LORD:

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

tell of all thy

wondrous works.

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

place where

thine honour dwelleth.

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

men:

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

full of bribes.

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

and be

merciful unto me.

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

will I bless

the LORD.

==== <PS27>

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

salvation; whom

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

shall I be

afraid?

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

upon me to eat

up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

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

not fear:

though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be]

confident.

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

after; that I

may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to

behold the

beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

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

pavilion: in the

secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up

upon a rock.

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

round about

me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing,

yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

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

also upon me, and

answer me.

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

thee, Thy

face, LORD, will I seek.

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

away in anger:

thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God

of my

salvation.

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

will take me

up.

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

because of

mine enemies.

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

false

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

cruelty.

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

goodness of the

LORD in the land of the living.

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

strengthen thine

heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

==== <PS28>

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

be not

silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I become like

them that go down

into the pit.

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

when I lift

up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

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

of iniquity,

which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in

their hearts.

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

wickedness of

their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands;

render to them

their desert.

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

operation of

his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

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

of my

supplications.

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

trusted in him, and

I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my

song will I

praise him.

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

strength of his

anointed.

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

also, and lift

them up for ever.

==== <PS29>

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

unto the LORD

glory and strength.

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

the LORD in

the beauty of holiness.

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

glory

thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.

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

LORD [is] full

of majesty.

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

breaketh the

cedars of Lebanon.

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

Sirion like a

young unicorn.

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

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

shaketh the

wilderness of Kadesh.

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

discovereth the

forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory.

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

King for ever.

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

will bless his

people with peace.

==== <PS30>

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

David. I will

extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not

made my foes to

rejoice over me.

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

me.

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

thou hast kept me

alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

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

at the

remembrance of his holiness.

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

[is] life:

weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.

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

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

strong: thou

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

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

supplication.

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

the pit? Shall

the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

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

helper.

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

hast put off

my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

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

not be

silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

==== <PS31>

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

do I put my

trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

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

my strong rock,

for an house of defence to save me.

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

thy name's sake

lead me, and guide me.

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

me: for thou

[art] my strength.

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

me, O LORD God

of truth.

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

trust in the LORD.

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

considered my

trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

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

hast set my

feet in a large room.

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

eye is consumed

with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.

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

sighing: my

strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are

consumed.

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

among my

neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see

me without fled

from me.

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

broken vessel.

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

every side: while

they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away

my life.

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

God.

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

mine enemies,

and from them that persecute me.

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

thy mercies'

sake.

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

thee: let the

wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave.

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

grievous things

proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

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

up for them

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

thee before

the sons of men!

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

the pride of

man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife

of tongues.

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

marvellous kindness

in a strong city.

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

eyes:

nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I

cried unto

thee.

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

preserveth the

faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

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

all ye that

hope in the LORD.

==== <PS32>

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

transgression [is]

forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

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

iniquity, and in

whose spirit [there is] no guile.

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

roaring all the day

long.

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

moisture is turned

into the drought of summer. Selah.

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

I not hid. I

said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou

forgavest the

iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

a time when

thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they

shall not come

nigh unto him.

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

trouble; thou

shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

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

thou shalt go: I

will guide thee with mine eye.

PS-32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no

understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,

lest they come

near unto thee.

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

trusteth in the

LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

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

shout for joy,

all [ye that are] upright in heart.

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

comely for the

upright.

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

psaltery [and] an

instrument of ten strings.

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

noise.

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

[are done] in

truth.

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

of the

goodness of the LORD.

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

the host of

them by the breath of his mouth.

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

he layeth up

the depth in storehouses.

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

of the world

stand in awe of him.

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

stood fast.

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

he maketh the

devices of the people of none effect.

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

of his heart

to all generations.

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

the people

[whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

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

of men.

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

the inhabitants

of the earth.

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

their works.

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

mighty man is

not delivered by much strength.

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

deliver [any]

by his great strength.

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

him, upon them

that hope in his mercy;

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

alive in famine.

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

shield.

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

trusted in his

holy name.

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

in thee.

==== <PS34>

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

Abimelech;

who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at

all times: his

praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.

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

shall hear

[thereof], and be glad.

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

together.

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

from all my

fears.

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

faces were not

ashamed.

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

him out of

all his troubles.

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

fear him, and

delivereth them.

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

the man [that]

trusteth in him.

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

to them that

fear him.

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

that seek the

LORD shall not want any good [thing].

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

the fear of the

LORD.

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

[many] days, that

he may see good?

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

guile.

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

it.

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

ears [are

open] unto their cry.

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

cut off the

remembrance of them from the earth.

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

delivereth them out of

all their troubles.

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

and saveth

such as be of a contrite spirit.

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

LORD delivereth

him out of them all.

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

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

righteous shall be

desolate.

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

of them that

trust in him shall be desolate.

==== <PS35>

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

that strive

with me: fight against them that fight against me.

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

help.

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

that

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

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

my soul: let

them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

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

of the LORD

chase [them].

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

the LORD

persecute them.

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

pit, [which]

without cause they have digged for my soul.

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

net that he

hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

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

rejoice in his

salvation.

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

which

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

the poor and the

needy from him that spoileth him?

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

[things] that I

knew not.

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

soul.

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

sackcloth: I

humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine

own bosom.

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

brother: I

bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.

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

themselves

together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves together

against me, and I

knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:

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

me with their

teeth.

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

their

destructions, my darling from the lions.

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

will praise thee

among much people.

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

over me:

[neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a

cause.

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

matters against

[them that are] quiet in the land.

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

said, Aha, aha,

our eye hath seen [it].

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

be not far

from me.

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

my cause, my

God and my Lord.

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

and let them

not rejoice over me.

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

it: let them

not say, We have swallowed him up.

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

that rejoice at

mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that

magnify

[themselves] against me.

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

righteous cause:

yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which

hath pleasure

in the prosperity of his servant.

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

thy praise

all the day long.

==== <PS36>

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

the LORD. The

transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that there

is] no fear of

God before his eyes.

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

iniquity be found

to be hateful.

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

hath left off to

be wise, [and] to do good.

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

a way [that

is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

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

faithfulness

[reacheth] unto the clouds.

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

judgments [are] a

great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

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

the children

of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

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

thy house; and

thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

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

shall we see

light.

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

and thy

righteousness to the upright in heart.

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

the hand of

the wicked remove me.

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

down, and

shall not be able to rise.

==== <PS37>

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

evildoers, neither be

thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

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

wither as the

green herb.

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

the land, and

verily thou shalt be fed.

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

the desires

of thine heart.

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

shall bring

[it] to pass.

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

and thy

judgment as the noonday.

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

thyself because

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

bringeth wicked

devices to pass.

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

any wise to

do evil.

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

the LORD,

they shall inherit the earth.

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

yea, thou

shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].

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

themselves in

the abundance of peace.

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

him with his

teeth.

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

is coming.

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

their bow, to cast

down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright

conversation.

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

bows shall be

broken.

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

riches of

many wicked.

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

LORD upholdeth

the righteous.

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

inheritance shall

be for ever.

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

days of famine

they shall be satisfied.

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

LORD [shall be]

as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they

consume away.

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

righteous showeth

mercy, and giveth.

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

and [they

that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.

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

he delighteth

in his way.

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

the LORD

upholdeth [him with] his hand.

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

seen the

righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

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

blessed.

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

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

saints; they are

preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

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

for ever.

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

tongue talketh of

judgment.

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

shall slide.

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

him.

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

him when he is

judged.

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

thee to

inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see

[it].

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

himself like a

green bay tree.

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

sought him, but he

could not be found.

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

end of [that]

man [is] peace.

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

end of the

wicked shall be cut off.

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

[he is] their

strength in the time of trouble.

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

shall deliver them

from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

==== <PS38>

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

rebuke me not in

thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

me sore.

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

anger; neither

[is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

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

burden they

are too heavy for me.

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

foolishness.

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

all the day

long.

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

[there is] no

soundness in my flesh.

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

the

disquietness of my heart.

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

not hid from

thee.

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

light of mine

eyes, it also is gone from me.

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

my kinsmen

stand afar off.

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

and they that

seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all

the day long.

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

dumb man [that]

openeth not his mouth.

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

mouth [are] no

reproofs.

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

my God.

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

rejoice over me:

when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

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

continually before me.

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

my sin.

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

and they that

hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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

adversaries; because I

follow [the thing that] good [is].

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

38:22 Make

haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

==== <PS39>

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

David. I said, I

will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will

keep my mouth

with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

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

good; and my

sorrow was stirred.

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

burned: [then]

spake I with my tongue,

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

days, what it

[is; that] I may know how frail I [am].

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

mine age [is]

as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is]

altogether

vanity. Selah.

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

disquieted in

vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather

them.

PS-39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.

PS-39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the

reproach of the

foolish.

PS-39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst

[it].

PS-39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the

blow of thine

hand.

PS-39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,

thou makest his

beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man [is] vanity.

Selah.

PS-39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold

not thy peace

at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a sojourner,

as all my

fathers [were].

PS-39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go

hence, and be no

more.

==== <PS40>

PS-40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited

patiently for the

LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

PS-40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the

miry clay,

and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.

PS-40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise

unto our God:

many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

PS-40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust,

and respecteth

not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

PS-40:5 Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which]

thou hast done,

and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned

up in order

unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are

more than can be

numbered.

PS-40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears

hast thou

opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

PS-40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it

is] written of

me,

PS-40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is]

within my heart.

PS-40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:

lo, I have

not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

PS-40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I

have declared thy

faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy

lovingkindness and

thy truth from the great congregation.

PS-40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD:

let thy

lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

PS-40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine

iniquities have

taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are

more than the

hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

PS-40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste

to help me.

PS-40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek

after my soul

to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that

wish me evil.

PS-40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that

say unto me,

Aha, aha.

PS-40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in

thee: let such as

love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

PS-40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon

me: thou

[art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

==== <PS41>

PS-41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he

that

considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of

trouble.

PS-41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he

shall be

blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the

will of his

enemies.

PS-41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:

thou wilt

make all his bed in his sickness.

PS-41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I

have sinned

against thee.

PS-41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and

his name perish?

PS-41:6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his

heart gathereth

iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

PS-41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me

do they

devise my hurt.

PS-41:8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and

[now] that he

lieth he shall rise up no more.

PS-41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which

did eat of my

bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

PS-41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,

that I may

requite them.

PS-41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine

enemy doth not

triumph over me.

PS-41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and

settest me

before thy face for ever.

PS-41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,

and to

everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

==== <PS42>

PS-42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.

As the hart

panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O

God.

PS-42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when

shall I come and

appear before God?

PS-42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they

continually say

unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:4 When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:

for I had

gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God,

with the voice

of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

PS-42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou

disquieted in

me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help

of his

countenance.

PS-42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will

I remember

thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the

hill Mizar.

PS-42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:

all thy waves

and thy billows are gone over me.

PS-42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the

daytime, and in

the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the

God of my

life.

PS-42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?

why go I

mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

PS-42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me;

while they

say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou

disquieted within

me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the

health of my

countenance, and my God.

==== <PS43>

PS-43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly

nation: O

deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

PS-43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou

cast me off? why

go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

PS-43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me;

let them bring

me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

PS-43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my

exceeding joy: yea,

upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

PS-43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou

disquieted within

me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health

of my

countenance, and my God.

==== <PS44>

PS-44:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We

have heard

with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou

didst in

their days, in the times of old.

PS-44:2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand,

and plantedst

them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

PS-44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own

sword, neither

did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm,

and the light

of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

PS-44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

PS-44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy

name will we

tread them under that rise up against us.

PS-44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword

save me.

PS-44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put

them to shame

that hated us.

PS-44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name

for ever. Selah.

PS-44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest

not forth with

our armies.

PS-44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they

which hate us

spoil for themselves.

PS-44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and

hast

scattered us among the heathen.

PS-44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not

increase [thy

wealth] by their price.

PS-44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn

and a derision

to them that are round about us.

PS-44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of

the head

among the people.

PS-44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame

of my face

hath covered me,

PS-44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;

by reason of

the enemy and avenger.

PS-44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten

thee, neither

have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

PS-44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps

declined from

thy way;

PS-44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,

and covered

us with the shadow of death.

PS-44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched

out our hands

to a strange god;

PS-44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the

secrets of the

heart.

PS-44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we

are counted as

sheep for the slaughter.

PS-44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not

off for ever.

PS-44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our

affliction and

our oppression?

PS-44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly

cleaveth unto the

earth.

PS-44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

==== <PS45>

PS-45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of

Korah, Maschil,

A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of

the things

which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the pen of a

ready writer.

PS-45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is

poured into thy

lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

PS-45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with

thy glory and

thy majesty.

PS-45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth

and meekness

[and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee

terrible things.

PS-45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's

enemies; [whereby]

the people fall under thee.

PS-45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre

of thy kingdom

[is] a right sceptre.

PS-45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:

therefore God, thy

God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy

fellows.

PS-45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and]

cassia, out of the

ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

PS-45:9 Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon

thy right

hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

PS-45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine

ear; forget also

thine own people, and thy father's house;

PS-45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he

[is] thy Lord;

and worship thou him.

PS-45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;

[even] the

rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

PS-45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her

clothing [is] of

wrought gold.

PS-45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of

needlework: the

virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto

thee.

PS-45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they

shall enter

into the king's palace.

PS-45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou

mayest make

princes in all the earth.

PS-45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all

generations: therefore

shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

==== <PS46>

PS-46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon

Alamoth. God

[is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

PS-46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,

and though

the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

PS-46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled,

[though] the

mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

PS-46:4 [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad

the city of

God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High.

PS-46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God shall help

her, [and that] right early.

PS-46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered

his voice, the

earth melted.

PS-46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge.

Selah.

PS-46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he

hath made in

the earth.

PS-46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he

breaketh the

bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in

the fire.

PS-46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted

among the

heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

PS-46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge.

Selah.

==== <PS47>

PS-47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O

clap your

hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

PS-47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great

King over all

the earth.

PS-47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations

under our feet.

PS-47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency

of Jacob whom

he loved. Selah.

PS-47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of

a trumpet.

PS-47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our

King, sing

praises.

PS-47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises

with

understanding.

PS-47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the

throne of his

holiness.

PS-47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, [even]

the people of

the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] unto

God: he is

greatly exalted.

==== <PS48>

PS-48:1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the

LORD, and

greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain

of his

holiness.

PS-48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,

[is] mount Zion,

[on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

PS-48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

PS-48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by

together.

PS-48:5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled,

[and] hasted

away.

PS-48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a

woman in travail.

PS-48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

PS-48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the

LORD of hosts, in

the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

PS-48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the

midst of thy

temple.

PS-48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto

the ends of the

earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

PS-48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be

glad, because

of thy judgments.

PS-48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the

towers thereof.

PS-48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that

ye may tell

[it] to the generation following.

PS-48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be

our guide

[even] unto death.

==== <PS49>

PS-49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all

[ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:

PS-49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

PS-49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my

heart [shall

be] of understanding.

PS-49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my

dark saying upon

the harp.

PS-49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the

iniquity of my

heels shall compass me about?

PS-49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in

the multitude

of their riches;

PS-49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor

give to God a

ransom for him:

PS-49:8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it

ceaseth for

ever:)

PS-49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see

corruption.

PS-49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and

the brutish

person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

PS-49:11 Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall

continue] for

ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call

[their] lands

after their own names.

PS-49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is

like the beasts

[that] perish.

PS-49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity

approve their

sayings. Selah.

PS-49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed

on them; and

the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and

their beauty

shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

PS-49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:

for he shall

receive me. Selah.

PS-49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the

glory of his house

is increased;

PS-49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his

glory shall not

descend after him.

PS-49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men]

will praise

thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

PS-49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they

shall never see

light.

PS-49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like

the beasts

[that] perish.

==== <PS50>

PS-50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath

spoken, and

called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down

thereof.

PS-50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

PS-50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire

shall devour

before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

PS-50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the

earth, that he may

judge his people.

PS-50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made

a covenant

with me by sacrifice.

PS-50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God

[is] judge

himself. Selah.

PS-50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I

will testify

against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

PS-50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt

offerings, [to

have been] continually before me.

PS-50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats

out of thy

folds.

PS-50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the

cattle upon a

thousand hills.

PS-50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild

beasts of the

field [are] mine.

PS-50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world

[is] mine, and

the fulness thereof.

PS-50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of

goats?

PS-50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the

most High:

PS-50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver

thee, and thou

shalt glorify me.

PS-50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to

declare my

statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

PS-50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words

behind thee.

PS-50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with

him, and hast

been partaker with adulterers.

PS-50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth

deceit.

PS-50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou

slanderest

thine own mother's son.

PS-50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou

thoughtest

that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will

reprove thee, and

set [them] in order before thine eyes.

PS-50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear

[you] in pieces,

and [there be] none to deliver.

PS-50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that

ordereth [his]

conversation [aright] will I show the salvation of God.

==== <PS51>

PS-51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the

prophet came

unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me,

O God,

according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of

thy tender

mercies blot outmy transgressions.

PS-51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me

from my sin.

PS-51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is]

ever before me.

PS-51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this]

evil in thy

sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and]

be clear when

thou judgest.

PS-51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my

mother conceive

me.

PS-51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in

the hidden

[part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

PS-51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and

I shall be

whiter than snow.

PS-51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones

[which] thou hast

broken may rejoice.

PS-51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine

iniquities.

PS-51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right

spirit within

me.

PS-51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy

holy spirit from

me.

PS-51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me

[with thy]

free spirit.

PS-51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners

shall be

converted unto thee.

PS-51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my

salvation:

[and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

PS-51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show

forth thy praise.

PS-51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]:

thou

delightest not in burnt offering.

PS-51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken

and a contrite

heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

PS-51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the

walls of

Jerusalem.

PS-51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of

righteousness, with

burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer

bullocks upon

thine altar.

==== <PS52>

PS-52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when

Doeg the

Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to

the house of

Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?

the goodness

of God [endureth] continually.

PS-52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor,

working

deceitfully.

PS-52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than

to speak

righteousness. Selah.

PS-52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful

tongue.

PS-52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take

thee away, and

pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the

land of the

living. Selah.

PS-52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh

at him:

PS-52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength;

but trusted in

the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his

wickedness.

PS-52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God:

I trust in the

mercy of God for ever and ever.

PS-52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]:

and I will

wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.

==== <PS53>

PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David. The

fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they,

and have

done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.

PS-53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to

see if there

were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.

PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether

become filthy;

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

PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my

people [as]

they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

PS-53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for

God hath

scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou

hast put [them]

to shame, because God hath despised them.

PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!

When God

bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,

[and] Israel

shall be glad.

==== <PS54>

PS-54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of

David, when

the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself

with us? Save

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

PS-54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

PS-54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors

seek after my

soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

PS-54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them

that uphold my

soul.

PS-54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in

thy truth.

PS-54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy

name, O LORD; for

[it is] good.

PS-54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine

eye hath seen

[his desire] upon mine enemies.

==== <PS55>

PS-55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of

David. Give

ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my

supplication.

PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint,

and make a

noise;

PS-55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the

oppression of the

wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate

me.

PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of

death are fallen

upon me.

PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror

hath

overwhelmed me.

PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]

would I fly

away, and be at rest.

PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the

wilderness.

Selah.

PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and]

tempest.

PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have

seen violence

and strife in the city.

PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

mischief also

and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.

PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile

depart not

from her streets.

PS-55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I

could have

borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify

[himself]

against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine

acquaintance.

PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the

house of God in

company.

PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick

into hell:

for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.

PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall

save me.

PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry

aloud: and he

shall hear my voice.

PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle

[that was] against

me: for there were many with me.

PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth

of old. Selah.

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace

with him: he

hath broken his covenant.

PS-55:21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but

war [was] in

his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn

swords.

PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain

thee: he shall

never suffer the righteous to be moved.

PS-55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of

destruction:

bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but

I will trust

in thee.

==== <PS56>

PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam

of David, when

the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God:

for man would

swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be]

many that

fight against me, O thou most High.

PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

PS-56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my

trust; I will not

fear what flesh can do unto me.

PS-56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]

against me for

evil.

PS-56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

they mark my

steps, when they wait for my soul.

PS-56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast

down the people,

O God.

PS-56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy

bottle: [are

they] not in thy book?

PS-56:9 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn

back: this I

know; for God [is] for me.

PS-56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I

praise [his]

word.

PS-56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what

man can do unto

me.

PS-56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises

unto thee.

PS-56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not

[thou deliver]

my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of

the living?

==== <PS57>

PS-57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David,

when he fled from

Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto

me: for my soul

trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my

refuge, until

[these] calamities be overpast.

PS-57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth

[all things]

for me.

PS-57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the

reproach of him that

would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and

his truth.

PS-57:4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them

that are set

on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and

arrows, and

their tongue a sharp sword.

PS-57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy

glory [be] above

all the earth.

PS-57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed

down: they

have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are

fallen

[themselves]. Selah.

PS-57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing

and give

praise.

PS-57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]

will awake

early.

PS-57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will

sing unto thee

among the nations.

PS-57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy

truth unto the

clouds.

PS-57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy

glory [be] above

all the earth.

==== <PS58>

PS-58:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do

ye indeed

speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye

sons of men?

PS-58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence

of your hands

in the earth.

PS-58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray

as soon as they

be born, speaking lies.

PS-58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they

are] like the

deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;

PS-58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,

charming never so

wisely.

PS-58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the

great teeth of

the young lions, O LORD.

PS-58:7 Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually:

[when] he

bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in

pieces.

PS-58:8 As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass

away: [like]

the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the sun.

PS-58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them

away as with

a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.

PS-58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:

he shall

wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

PS-58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for

the

righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

==== <PS59>

PS-59:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David;

when Saul sent,

and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine

enemies, O my

God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

PS-59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me

from bloody men.

PS-59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are

gathered against

me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.

PS-59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:

awake to help me,

and behold.

PS-59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,

awake to visit

all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.

Selah.

PS-59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog,

and go round

about the city.

PS-59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in

their lips:

for who, [say they], doth hear?

PS-59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have

all the heathen

in derision.

PS-59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God

[is] my

defence.

PS-59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me

see [my

desire] upon mine enemies.

PS-59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by

thy power; and

bring them down, O Lord our shield.

PS-59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their

lips let them

even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which]

they speak.

PS-59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they

[may] not [be]:

and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the

earth. Selah.

PS-59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a

noise like a

dog, and go round about the city.

PS-59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if

they be not

satisfied.

PS-59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of

thy mercy in

the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day

of my

trouble.

PS-59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my

defence, [and]

the God of my mercy.

==== <PS60>

PS-60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of

David, to teach;

when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab

returned, and

smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou

hast cast us

off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn

thyself to us

again.

PS-60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:

heal the

breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

PS-60:3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made

us to drink

the wine of astonishment.

PS-60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it

may be

displayed because of the truth. Selah.

PS-60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right

hand, and

hear me.

PS-60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will

divide

Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

PS-60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also

[is] the

strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

PS-60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia,

triumph thou because of me.

PS-60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead

me into Edom?

PS-60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and

[thou], O God,

[which] didst not go out with our armies?

PS-60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of

man.

PS-60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]

shall tread

down our enemies.

==== <PS61>

PS-61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.

Hear my cry, O

God; attend unto my prayer.

PS-61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my

heart is

overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.

PS-61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong

tower from the

enemy.

PS-61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in

the covert of

thy wings. Selah.

PS-61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given

[me] the heritage

of those that fear thy name.

PS-61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as

many

generations.

PS-61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and

truth, [which]

may preserve him.

PS-61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may

daily perform

my vows.

==== <PS62>

PS-62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

Truly my soul

waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

PS-62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my

defence; I shall not

be greatly moved.

PS-62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye

shall be slain all

of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a tottering fence.

PS-62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency:

they delight

in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah.

PS-62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation

[is] from him.

PS-62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my

defence; I shall not

be moved.

PS-62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my

strength, [and]

my refuge, [is] in God.

PS-62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your

heart before

him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

PS-62:9 Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high

degree [are]

a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether

[lighter] than vanity.

PS-62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:

if riches

increase, set not your heart [upon them].

PS-62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that

power [belongeth]

unto God.

PS-62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou

renderest to

every man according to his work.

==== <PS63>

PS-63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, thou

[art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,

my flesh

longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

PS-63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee

in the

sanctuary.

PS-63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my

lips shall praise

thee.

PS-63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my

hands in thy

name.

PS-63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;

and my mouth

shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

PS-63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee

in the

[night] watches.

PS-63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow

of thy wings

will I rejoice.

PS-63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand

upholdeth me.

PS-63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go

into the

lower parts of the earth.

PS-63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion

for foxes.

PS-63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that

sweareth by him

shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be

stopped.

==== <PS64>

PS-64:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice,

O God, in my

prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

PS-64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the

insurrection

of the workers of iniquity:

PS-64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their

bows to shoot]

their arrows, [even] bitter words:

PS-64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly

do they shoot

at him, and fear not.

PS-64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they

commune of laying

snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

PS-64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent

search: both

the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is]

deep.

PS-64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly

shall they be

wounded.

PS-64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon

themselves: all that

see them shall flee away.

PS-64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of

God; for they

shall wisely consider of his doing.

PS-64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall

trust in him; and

all the upright in heart shall glory.

==== <PS65>

PS-65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.

Praise waiteth for

thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

PS-65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh

come.

PS-65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our

transgressions, thou shalt

purge them away.

PS-65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to

approach [unto

thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied

with the

goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.

PS-65:5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer

us, O God of

our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the

earth, and of

them that are afar off [upon] the sea:

PS-65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;

[being] girded with

power:

PS-65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their

waves, and

the tumult of the people.

PS-65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid

at thy tokens:

thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

PS-65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly

enrichest it

with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest

them corn,

when thou hast so provided for it.

PS-65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou

settlest the

furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest

the springing

thereof.

PS-65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths

drop fatness.

PS-65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and

the little hills

rejoice on every side.

PS-65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also

are covered

over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

==== <PS66>

PS-66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful

noise unto

God, all ye lands:

PS-66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise

glorious.

PS-66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works!

through the

greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves

unto thee.

PS-66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto

thee; they shall

sing [to] thy name. Selah.

PS-66:5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]

doing toward

the children of men.

PS-66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the

flood on

foot: there did we rejoice in him.

PS-66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the

nations: let not

the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

PS-66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his

praise to be

heard:

PS-66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our

feet to be

moved.

PS-66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as

silver is

tried.

PS-66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction

upon our

loins.

PS-66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went

through fire and

through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place].

PS-66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will

pay thee my

vows,

PS-66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,

when I was in

trouble.

PS-66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,

with the incense

of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

PS-66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will

declare what he

hath done for my soul.

PS-66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled

with my tongue.

PS-66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not

hear [me]:

PS-66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to

the voice of my

prayer.

PS-66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,

nor his mercy

from me.

==== <PS67>

PS-67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.

God be merciful

unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us;

Selah.

PS-67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health

among all

nations.

PS-67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou

shalt judge the

people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

PS-67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,

[even] our own

God, shall bless us.

PS-67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall

fear him.

==== <PS68>

PS-68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let

God arise, let

his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee

before him.

PS-68:2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax

melteth before

the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

PS-68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before

God: yea, let

them exceedingly rejoice.

PS-68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that

rideth upon

the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

PS-68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

[is] God in his

holy habitation.

PS-68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out

those which are

bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].

PS-68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when

thou didst

march through the wilderness; Selah:

PS-68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the

presence of God:

[even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God

of Israel.

PS-68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou

didst confirm

thine inheritance, when it was weary.

PS-68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast

prepared of

thy goodness for the poor.

PS-68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of

those that

published [it].

PS-68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at

home divided

the spoil.

PS-68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be

as] the wings of

a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

PS-68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]

as snow in

Salmon.

PS-68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high

hill [as] the

hill of Bashan.

PS-68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]

God desireth

to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.

PS-68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]

thousands of

angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy

[place].

PS-68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity

captive: thou

hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also,

that the LORD God

might dwell [among them].

PS-68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with

benefits,even]

the God of our salvation. Selah.

PS-68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and

unto GOD the Lord

[belong] the issues from death.

PS-68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the

hairy scalp of

such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

PS-68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will

bring [my

people] again from the depths of the sea:

PS-68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]

enemies, [and]

the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

PS-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of

my God, my

King, in the sanctuary.

PS-68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments

[followed] after;

among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.

PS-68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,

from the fountain

of Israel.

PS-68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the

princes of Judah

[and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes

of Naphtali.

PS-68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,

that which

thou hast wrought for us.

PS-68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring

presents unto

thee.

PS-68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the

bulls, with the

calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with

pieces of silver:

scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.

PS-68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon

stretch out her

hands unto God.

PS-68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises

unto the

Lord; Selah:

PS-68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which

were] of old;

lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.

PS-68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over

Israel, and

his strength [is] in the clouds.

PS-68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the

God of Israel

[is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people.

Blessed [be] God.

==== <PS69>

PS-69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of

David. Save me, O

God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

PS-69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am

come into deep

waters, where the floods overflow me.

PS-69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes

fail while I

wait for my God.

PS-69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the

hairs of mine

head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies

wrongfully, are mighty:

then I restored [that] which I took not away.

PS-69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not

hid from thee.

PS-69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be

ashamed for my

sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O

God of Israel.

PS-69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath

covered my

face.

PS-69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien

unto my mother's

children.

PS-69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the

reproaches of

them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

PS-69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that

was to my

reproach.

PS-69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a

proverb to them.

PS-69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]

the song of

the drunkards.

PS-69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in]

an acceptable

time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth

of thy

salvation.

PS-69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me

be delivered

from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

PS-69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the

deep swallow me

up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

PS-69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn

unto me

according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

PS-69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in

trouble: hear me

speedily.

PS-69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me

because of mine

enemies.

PS-69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my

dishonour: mine

adversaries [are] all before thee.

PS-69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of

heaviness: and I

looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for

comforters, but

I found none.

PS-69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst

they gave me

vinegar to drink.

PS-69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and [that

which should

have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.

PS-69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make

their loins

continually to shake.

PS-69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy

wrathful anger take

hold of them.

PS-69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell

in their

tents.

PS-69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and

they talk to the

grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

PS-69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come

into thy

righteousness.

PS-69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and

not be written

with the righteous.

PS-69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God,

set me up on

high.

PS-69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will

magnify him with

thanksgiving.

PS-69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox

[or] bullock that

hath horns and hoofs.

PS-69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your

heart shall live

that seek God.

PS-69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his

prisoners.

PS-69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and

every thing that

moveth therein.

PS-69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of

Judah: that they

may dwell there, and have it in possession.

PS-69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and

they that love

his name shall dwell therein.

==== <PS70>

PS-70:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to

remembrance.

[Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O

LORD.

PS-70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my

soul: let them

be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

PS-70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that

say, Aha,

aha.

PS-70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

and let such

as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

PS-70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:

thou [art] my

help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

==== <PS71>

PS-71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put

to confusion.

PS-71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:

incline thine

ear unto me, and save me.

PS-71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may

continually resort: thou

hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my

fortress.

PS-71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out

of the hand

of the unrighteous and cruel man.

PS-71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust

from my youth.

PS-71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he

that took me

out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of

thee.

PS-71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong

refuge.

PS-71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy

honour all the

day.

PS-71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not

when my

strength faileth.

PS-71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay

wait for my soul

take counsel together,

PS-71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;

for [there is]

none to deliver [him].

PS-71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my

help.

PS-71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are

adversaries to my

soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that

seek my hurt.

PS-71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee

more and more.

PS-71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy

salvation all

the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].

PS-71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make

mention of thy

righteousness, [even] of thine only.

PS-71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto

have I

declared thy wondrous works.

PS-71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake

me not; until I

have showed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power

to every one

[that] is to come.

PS-71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast

done great

things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!

PS-71:20 [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,

shalt quicken

me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the

earth.

PS-71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on

every side.

PS-71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy

truth, O my

God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of

Israel.

PS-71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;

and my soul,

which thou hast redeemed.

PS-71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the

day long: for

they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek

my hurt.

==== <PS72>

PS-72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O

God, and thy

righteousness unto the king's son.

PS-72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy

poor with

judgment.

PS-72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the

little hills,

by righteousness.

PS-72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the

children of

the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

PS-72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,

throughout

all generations.

PS-72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as

showers [that]

water the earth.

PS-72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance

of peace so

long as the moon endureth.

PS-72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from

the river unto

the ends of the earth.

PS-72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;

and his

enemies shall lick the dust.

PS-72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring

presents: the

kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

PS-72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations

shall serve

him.

PS-72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor

also, and

[him] that hath no helper.

PS-72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the

souls of the

needy.

PS-72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:

and precious

shall their blood be in his sight.

PS-72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the

gold of Sheba:

prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall

he be

praised.

PS-72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the

top of the

mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and

[they] of the city

shall flourish like grass of the earth.

PS-72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be

continued as long

as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall

call him

blessed.

PS-72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only

doeth wondrous

things.

PS-72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let

the whole earth

be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.

PS-72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

==== <PS73>

PS-73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even]

to such as are

of a clean heart.

PS-73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had

well nigh

slipped.

PS-73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the

prosperity of the

wicked.

PS-73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their

strength [is] firm.

PS-73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are

they plagued

like [other] men.

PS-73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;

violence covereth

them [as] a garment.

PS-73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than

heart could

wish.

PS-73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]

oppression: they

speak loftily.

PS-73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their

tongue walketh

through the earth.

PS-73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a

full [cup] are

wrung out to them.

PS-73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge

in the most

High?

PS-73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the

world; they

increase [in] riches.

PS-73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed

my hands in

innocency.

PS-73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened

every

morning.

PS-73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend

[against] the

generation of thy children.

PS-73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for

me;

PS-73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then]

understood I their

end.

PS-73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou

castedst them

down into destruction.

PS-73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!

they are

utterly consumed with terrors.

PS-73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou

awakest, thou

shalt despise their image.

PS-73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my

reins.

PS-73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast

before thee.

PS-73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast

holden [me] by

my right hand.

PS-73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward

receive me [to]

glory.

PS-73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none

upon earth

[that] I desire beside thee.

PS-73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the

strength of my

heart, and my portion for ever.

PS-73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou

hast

destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

PS-73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put

my trust in

the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

==== <PS74>

PS-74:1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for

ever? [why]

doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

PS-74:2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased

of old; the rod

of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount

Zion, wherein

thou hast dwelt.

PS-74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even]

all [that] the

enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

PS-74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;

they set up

their ensigns [for] signs.

PS-74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes

upon the thick

trees.

PS-74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once

with axes and

hammers.

PS-74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have

defiled [by casting

down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

PS-74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:

they have

burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

PS-74:9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:

neither [is

there] among us any that knoweth how long.

PS-74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the

enemy

blaspheme thy name for ever?

PS-74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?

pluck [it] out of

thy bosom.

PS-74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the

midst of the

earth.

PS-74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest

the heads of

the dragons in the waters.

PS-74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and]

gavest him [to

be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

PS-74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou

driedst up mighty

rivers.

PS-74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou

hast prepared the

light and the sun.

PS-74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast

made summer and

winter.

PS-74:18 Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD,

and [that]

the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

PS-74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the

multitude [of the

wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

PS-74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of

the earth are

full of the habitations of cruelty.

PS-74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor

and needy praise

thy name.

PS-74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the

foolish man

reproacheth thee daily.

PS-74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of

those that rise

up against thee increaseth continually.

==== <PS75>

PS-75:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of

Asaph. Unto

thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks:

for [that] thy

name is near thy wondrous works declare.

PS-75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge

uprightly.

PS-75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:

I bear up the

pillars of it. Selah.

PS-75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the

wicked, Lift not

up the horn:

PS-75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff

neck.

PS-75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from

the west, nor

from the south.

PS-75:7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth

up another.

PS-75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the

wine is red; it

is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the

dregs thereof, all

the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink

[them].

PS-75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the

God of Jacob.

PS-75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but]

the horns of

the righteous shall be exalted.

==== <PS76>

PS-76:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of

Asaph. In

Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.

PS-76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place

in Zion.

PS-76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and

the sword, and

the battle. Selah.

PS-76:4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the

mountains of prey.

PS-76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their

sleep: and none of

the men of might have found their hands.

PS-76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and

horse are cast

into a dead sleep.

PS-76:7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand

in thy sight

when once thou art angry?

PS-76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the

earth feared,

and was still,

PS-76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the

earth. Selah.

PS-76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the

remainder of wrath

shalt thou restrain.

PS-76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be

round about him

bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

PS-76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is]

terrible to the kings

of the earth.

==== <PS77>

PS-77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I

cried unto God

with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear

unto me.

PS-77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran

in the night,

and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

PS-77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my

spirit was

overwhelmed. Selah.

PS-77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I

cannot speak.

PS-77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient

times.

PS-77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune

with mine own

heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

PS-77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be

favourable no more?

PS-77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise

fail for

evermore?

PS-77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut

up his tender

mercies? Selah.

PS-77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will

remember] the years

of the right hand of the most High.

PS-77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will

remember thy

wonders of old.

PS-77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy

doings.

PS-77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so]

great a God as

[our] God?

PS-77:14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast

declared thy

strength among the people.

PS-77:15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the

sons of Jacob and

Joseph. Selah.

PS-77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they

were afraid:

the depths also were troubled.

PS-77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound:

thine arrows

also went abroad.

PS-77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the

lightnings

lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

PS-17:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great

waters, and thy

footsteps are not known.

PS-77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of

Moses and Aaron.

==== <PS78>

PS-78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:

incline your

ears to the words of my mouth.

PS-78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark

sayings of old:

PS-78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told

us.

PS-78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to

the generation

to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his

wonderful works

that he hath done.

PS-78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a

law in

Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make

them known to

their children:

PS-78:6 That the generation to come might know [them, even] the

children

[which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to

their

children:

PS-78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget

the works of

God, but keep his commandments:

PS-78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and

rebellious

generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and

whose spirit

was not stedfast with God.

PS-78:9 The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying

bows, turned

back in the day of battle.

PS-78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk

in his law;

PS-78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had

showed them.

PS-78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,

in the land

of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

PS-78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;

and he made the

waters to stand as an heap.

PS-78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all

the night with

a light of fire.

PS-78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them]

drink as [out

of] the great depths.

PS-78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused

waters to run

down like rivers.

PS-78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the

most High in

the wilderness.

PS-78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for

their lust.

PS-78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish

a table in

the wilderness?

PS-78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,

and the

streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh

for his

people?

PS-78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a

fire was kindled

against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

PS-78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in

his salvation:

PS-78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and

opened the doors

of heaven,

PS-78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had

given them of the

corn of heaven.

PS-78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

PS-78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by

his power he

brought in the south wind.

PS-78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered

fowls like as

the sand of the sea:

PS-78:28 And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round

about their

habitations.

PS-78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them

their own

desire;

PS-78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while

their meat [was]

yet in their mouths,

PS-78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest

of them, and

smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.

PS-78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for

his wondrous

works.

PS-78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and

their years in

trouble.

PS-78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they

returned and

inquired early after God.

PS-78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the

high God their

redeemer.

PS-78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and

they lied

unto him with their tongues.

PS-78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were

they stedfast in

his covenant.

PS-78:38 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their]

iniquity, and

destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away,

and did not

stir up all his wrath.

PS-78:39 For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind

that passeth

away, and cometh not again.

PS-78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]

grieve him in

the desert!

PS-78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the

Holy One of

Israel.

PS-78:42 They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he

delivered them

from the enemy.

PS-78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders

in the field

of Zoan:

PS-78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their

floods, that they

could not drink.

PS-78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which

devoured them; and

frogs, which destroyed them.

PS-78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and

their labour

unto the locust.

PS-78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore

trees with

frost.

PS-78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their

flocks to hot

thunderbolts.

PS-78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,

and

indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].

PS-78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul

from death, but

gave their life over to the pestilence;

PS-78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of

[their] strength

in the tabernacles of Ham:

PS-78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and

guided them in

the wilderness like a flock.

PS-78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but

the sea

overwhelmed their enemies.

PS-78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,

[even to] this

mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.

PS-78:55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided

them an

inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in

their tents.

PS-78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and

kept not his

testimonies:

PS-78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their

fathers: they were

turned aside like a deceitful bow.

PS-78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

and moved him

to jealousy with their graven images.

PS-78:59 When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly

abhorred Israel:

PS-78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent

[which] he

placed among men;

PS-78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his

glory into the

enemy's hand.

PS-78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was

wroth with his

inheritance.

PS-78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens

were not given

to marriage.

PS-78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made

lamentation.

PS-78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a

mighty man

that shouteth by reason of wine.

PS-78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put

them to a

perpetual reproach.

PS-78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose

not the tribe

of Ephraim:

PS-78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he

loved.

PS-78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like

the earth which

he hath established for ever.

PS-78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the

sheepfolds:

PS-78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him

to feed Jacob

his people, and Israel his inheritance.

PS-78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;

and guided

them by the skilfulness of his hands.

==== <PS79>

PS-79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine

inheritance;

thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on

heaps.

PS-79:2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be]

meat unto the

fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of

the earth.

PS-79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about

Jerusalem; and

[there was] none to bury [them].

PS-79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and

derision to

them that are round about us.

PS-79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy

jealousy burn

like fire?

PS-79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known

thee, and upon

the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

PS-79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his

dwelling place.

PS-79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy

tender mercies

speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

PS-79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy

name: and

deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

PS-79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God?

let him be

known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the

blood of thy

servants [which is] shed.

PS-79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee;

according to the

greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to

die;

PS-79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their

bosom their

reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

PS-79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give

thee thanks for

ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.

==== <PS80>

PS-80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of

Asaph. Give

ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;

thou that

dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.

PS-80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy

strength, and

come [and] save us.

PS-80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and

we shall be

saved.

PS-80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against

the prayer of

thy people?

PS-80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest

them tears to

drink in great measure.

PS-80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our

enemies laugh

among themselves.

PS-80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to

shine; and we

shall be saved.

PS-80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast

out the heathen,

and planted it.

PS-80:9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to

take deep

root, and it filled the land.

PS-80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the

boughs thereof

[were like] the goodly cedars.

PS-80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches

unto the

river.

PS-80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that

all they which

pass by the way do pluck her?

PS-80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild

beast of the

field doth devour it.

PS-80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from

heaven, and

behold, and visit this vine;

PS-80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and

the branch

[that] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish

at the rebuke

of thy countenance.

PS-80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon

the son of man

[whom] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we

will call upon

thy name.

PS-80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to

shine; and we

shall be saved.

==== <PS81>

PS-81:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph.

Sing aloud

unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

PS-81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant

harp with the

psaltery.

PS-81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time

appointed, on our

solemn feast day.

PS-81:4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the

God of Jacob.

PS-81:5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he

went out through

the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I

understood not.

PS-81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were

delivered from

the pots.

PS-81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I

answered thee in the

secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.

Selah.

PS-81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O

Israel, if thou

wilt hearken unto me;

PS-81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt

thou worship any

strange god.

PS-81:10 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the

land of Egypt:

open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

PS-81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel

would none of

me.

PS-81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: [and]

they walked in

their own counsels.

PS-81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel

had walked in

my ways!

PS-81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my

hand against

their adversaries.

PS-81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves

unto him: but

their time should have endured for ever.

PS-81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the

wheat: and with

honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

==== <PS82>

PS-82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of

the mighty; he

judgeth among the gods.

PS-82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons

of the wicked?

Selah.

PS-82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the

afflicted and needy.

PS-82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand

of the wicked.

PS-82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk

on in darkness:

all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

PS-82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are]

children of the most

High.

PS-82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the

princes.

PS-82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit

all nations.

==== <PS83>

PS-83:1 A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God:

hold not thy

peace, and be not still, O God.

PS-83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate

thee have

lifted up the head.

PS-83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and

consulted

against thy hidden ones.

PS-83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from

[being] a nation;

that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

PS-83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they

are

confederate against thee:

PS-83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab,

and the

Hagarenes;

PS-83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the

inhabitants of

Tyre;

PS-83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the

children of Lot.

Selah.

PS-83:9 Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera,

as [to] Jabin,

at the brook of Kison:

PS-83:10 [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for

the earth.

PS-83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all

their princes as

Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

PS-83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in

possession.

PS-83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before

the wind.

PS-83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth

the mountains on

fire;

PS-83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them

afraid with thy

storm.

PS-83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy

name, O LORD.

PS-83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let

them be put to

shame, and perish:

PS-83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]

JEHOVAH, [art]

the most high over all the earth.

==== <PS84>

PS-84:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons

of Korah. How

amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

PS-84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of

the LORD: my

heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

PS-84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a

nest for

herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O

LORD of hosts, my

King, and my God.

PS-84:4 Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be

still

praising thee. Selah.

PS-84:5 Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in

whose heart [are]

the ways [of them].

PS-84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;

the rain also

filleth the pools.

PS-84:7 They go from strength to strength, [every one of them]

in Zion

appeareth before God.

PS-84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of

Jacob. Selah.

PS-84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of

thine anointed.

PS-84:10 For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I

had rather be

a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents

of wickedness.

PS-84:11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will

give grace and

glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk

uprightly.

PS-84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in

thee.

==== <PS85>

PS-85:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

LORD, thou hast

been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the

captivity of Jacob.

PS-85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast

covered all

their sin. Selah.

PS-85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned

[thyself] from

the fierceness of thine anger.

PS-85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger

toward us to

cease.

PS-85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out

thine anger to

all generations?

PS-85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may

rejoice in thee?

PS-85:7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

PS-85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will

speak peace unto

his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to

folly.

PS-85:9 Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that

glory may

dwell in our land.

PS-85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and

peace have kissed

[each other].

PS-85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness

shall look

down from heaven.

PS-85:12 Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our

land shall

yield her increase.

PS-85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us]

in the way of

his steps.

==== <PS86>

PS-86:1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:

for I [am]

poor and needy.

PS-86:2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save

thy servant

that trusteth in thee.

PS-86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

PS-86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord,

do I lift up

my soul.

PS-86:5 For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and

plenteous in

mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

PS-86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the

voice of my

supplications.

PS-86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou

wilt answer

me.

PS-86:8 Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord;

neither [are

there any works] like unto thy works.

PS-86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship

before thee, O

Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

PS-86:10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou

[art] God

alone.

PS-86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:

unite my heart to

fear thy name.

PS-86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:

and I will

glorify thy name for evermore.

PS-86:13 For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast

delivered my soul

from the lowest hell.

PS-86:14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the

assemblies of violent

[men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before

them.

PS-86:15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and

gracious,

longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

PS-86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy

strength unto thy

servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

PS-86:17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may

see [it], and

be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

==== <PS87>

PS-87:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation

[is] in the

holy mountains.

PS-87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the

dwellings of

Jacob.

PS-87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. selah.

PS-87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that

know me: behold

Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born there.

PS-87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born

in her: and

the highest himself shall establish her.

PS-87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people,

[that] this [man]

was born there. Selah.

PS-87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall

be there]:

all my springs [are] in thee.

==== <PS88>

PS-88:1 A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief

Musician upon

Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of

my salvation,

I have cried day [and] night before thee:

PS-88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto

my cry;

PS-88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth

nigh unto the

grave.

PS-88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am

as a man [that

hath] no strength:

PS-88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the

grave, whom thou

rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

PS-88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the

deeps.

PS-88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted

[me] with all

thy waves. Selah.

PS-88:8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou

hast made me an

abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.

PS-88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have

called daily

upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

PS-88:10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead

arise [and] praise

thee? Selah.

PS-88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or]

thy

faithfulness in destruction?

PS-88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy

righteousness in the

land of forgetfulness?

PS-88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning

shall my

prayer prevent thee.

PS-88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou

thy face from

me?

PS-88:15 I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up:

[while] I

suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

PS-88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me

off.

PS-88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they

compassed me about

together.

PS-88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine

acquaintance

into darkness.

==== <PS89>

PS-89:1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the

mercies of the LORD

for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to

all generations.

PS-89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy

faithfulness

shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

PS-89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto

David my

servant,

PS-89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy

throne to all

generations. Selah.

PS-89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy

faithfulness

also in the congregation of the saints.

PS-89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD?

[who] among the

sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

PS-89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the

saints, and to be

had in reverence of all [them that are] about him.

PS-89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto

thee? or to thy

faithfulness round about thee?

PS-89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves

thereof arise, thou

stillest them.

PS-89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;

thou hast

scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

PS-89:11 The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as

for] the

world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

PS-89:12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor

and Hermon

shall rejoice in thy name.

PS-89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high

is thy right

hand.

PS-89:14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne:

mercy and

truth shall go before thy face.

PS-89:15 Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound:

they shall walk,

O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

PS-89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy

righteousness

shall they be exalted.

PS-89:17 For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy

favour our

horn shall be exalted.

PS-89:18 For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of

Israel [is] our

king.

PS-89:19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst,

I have laid

help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out

of the people.

PS-89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I

anointed him:

PS-89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also

shall

strengthen him.

PS-89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of

wickedness afflict

him.

PS-89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and

plague them that

hate him.

PS-89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him:

and in my name

shall his horn be exalted.

PS-89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand

in the

rivers.

PS-89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and

the rock of

my salvation.

PS-89:27 Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the

kings of the

earth.

PS-89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my

covenant shall

stand fast with him.

PS-89:29 His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his

throne as the

days of heaven.

PS-89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my

judgments;

PS-89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

PS-89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and

their

iniquity with stripes.

PS-89:33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take

from him, nor

suffer my faithfulness to fail.

PS-89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that

is gone out of

my lips.

PS-89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie

unto David.

PS-89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the

sun before me.

PS-89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as]

a faithful

witness in heaven. Selah.

PS-89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been

wroth with thine

anointed.

PS-89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou

hast profaned

his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

PS-89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought

his strong

holds to ruin.

PS-89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to

his

neighbours.

PS-89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;

thou hast made

all his enemies to rejoice.

PS-89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast

not made him to

stand in the battle.

PS-89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne

down to the

ground.

PS-89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast

covered him with

shame. Selah.

PS-89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall

thy wrath burn

like fire?

PS-89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made

all men in

vain?

PS-89:48 What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death?

shall he

deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

PS-89:49 Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which]

thou swarest

unto David in thy truth?

PS-89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I

do bear in my

bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;

PS-89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD;

wherewith they have

reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

PS-89:52 Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

==== <PS90>

PS-90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been

our dwelling

place in all generations.

PS-90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou

hadst formed the

earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou

[art] God.

PS-90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye

children of

men.

PS-90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday

when it is

past, and [as] a watch in the night.

PS-90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a

sleep: in the

morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.

PS-90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the

evening it is

cut down, and withereth.

PS-90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are

we troubled.

PS-90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret

[sins] in the

light of thy countenance.

PS-90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend

our years as a

tale [that is told].

PS-90:10 The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten;

and if by

reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their

strength labour

and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

PS-90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to

thy fear, [so

is] thy wrath.

PS-90:12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply

[our] hearts unto

wisdom.

PS-90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee

concerning thy

servants.

PS-90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice

and be glad

all our days.

PS-90:15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast

afflicted us,

[and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

PS-90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory

unto their

children.

PS-90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and

establish thou

the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands

establish thou it.

==== <PS91>

PS-91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

shall abide

under the shadow of the Almighty.

PS-91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my

fortress: my God; in

him will I trust.

PS-91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the

fowler, [and] from

the noisome pestilence.

PS-91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his

wings shalt thou

trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

PS-91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor]

for the arrow

[that] flieth by day;

PS-91:6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness;

[nor] for the

destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.

PS-91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at

thy right hand;

[but] it shall not come nigh thee.

PS-91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the

reward of the

wicked.

PS-91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge,

[even] the most

High, thy habitation;

PS-91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any

plague come nigh

thy dwelling.

PS-91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep

thee in all

thy ways.

PS-91:12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou

dash thy foot

against a stone.

PS-91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young

lion and the

dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

PS-91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I

deliver him: I

will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

PS-91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will

be] with him in

trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

PS-91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my

salvation.

==== <PS92>

PS-92:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good

[thing] to give

thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most

High:

PS-92:2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy

faithfulness

every night,

PS-92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;

upon the

harp with a solemn sound.

PS-92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I

will triumph in

the works of thy hands.

PS-92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are

very deep.

PS-92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool

understand this.

PS-92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the

workers of

iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for

ever:

PS-92:8 But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.

PS-92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies

shall perish;

all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

PS-92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an

unicorn: I shall

be anointed with fresh oil.

PS-92:11 Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies,

[and] mine ears

shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.

PS-92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he

shall grow like a

cedar in Lebanon.

PS-92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall

flourish in the

courts of our God.

PS-92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they

shall be fat and

flourishing;

PS-92:15 To show that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock,

and [there is]

no unrighteousness in him.

==== <PS93>

PS-93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD

is clothed

with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself: the world

also is

stablished, that it cannot be moved.

PS-93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from

everlasting.

PS-93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have

lifted up their

voice; the floods lift up their waves.

PS-93:4 The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many

waters, [yea,

than] the mighty waves of the sea.

PS-93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine

house, O LORD,

for ever.

==== <PS94>

PS-94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom

vengeance

belongeth, show thyself.

PS-94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a

reward to the

proud.

PS-94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the

wicked triumph?

PS-94:4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things?

[and] all the

workers of iniquity boast themselves?

PS-94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict

thine heritage.

PS-94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the

fatherless.

PS-94:7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the

God of Jacob

regard [it].

PS-94:8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools,

when will ye

be wise?

PS-94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that

formed the eye,

shall he not see?

PS-94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

he that

teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

PS-94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are]

vanity.

PS-94:12 Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and

teachest him

out of thy law;

PS-94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of

adversity, until the

pit be digged for the wicked.

PS-94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will

he forsake

his inheritance.

PS-94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all

the upright in

heart shall follow it.

PS-94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who

will stand up

for me against the workers of iniquity?

PS-94:17 Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost

dwelt in

silence.

PS-94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held

me up.

PS-94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts

delight my

soul.

PS-94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,

which frameth

mischief by a law?

PS-94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the

righteous,

and condemn the innocent blood.

PS-94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of

my refuge.

PS-94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and

shall cut them

off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut

them off.

PS-95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful

noise to the

rock of our salvation.

PS-95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and

make a joyful

noise unto him with psalms.

PS-95:3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above

all gods.

PS-95:4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the

strength of the

hills [is] his also.

PS-95:5 The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed

the dry [land].

PS-95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before

the LORD our

maker.

PS-95:7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his

pasture, and the

sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

PS-95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as

[in] the day of

temptation in the wilderness:

PS-95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

PS-95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation,

and said, It

[is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not

known my ways:

PS-95:11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not

enter into my

rest.

the earth.

PS-96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his
