king james study ==== PS-100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. PS-100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. PS-100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. PS-100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. PS-100:5 For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations. ==== PS-101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. PS-101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. PS-101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me. PS-101:4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person]. PS-101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. PS-101:6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. PS-101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. PS-101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. ==== PS-102:1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. PS-102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily. PS-102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. PS-102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. PS-102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. PS-102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. PS-102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. PS-102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me. PS-102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, PS-102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. PS-102:11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. PS-102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. PS-102:13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. PS-102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. PS-102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. PS-102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. PS-102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. PS-102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. PS-102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; PS-102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; PS-102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; PS-102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. PS-102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. PS-102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations. PS-102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands. PS-102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: PS-102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end. PS-102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. ==== PS-103:1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name. PS-103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: PS-103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; PS-103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; PS-103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. PS-103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. PS-103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. PS-103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. PS-103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever. PS-103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. PS-103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him. PS-103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us. PS-103:13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him. PS-103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust. PS-103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. PS-103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. PS-103:17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; PS-103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. PS-103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. PS-103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. PS-103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure. PS-103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. ==== PS-104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. PS-104:2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: PS-104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: PS-104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: PS-104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever. PS-104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. PS-104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. PS-104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. PS-104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. PS-104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills. PS-104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. PS-104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches. PS-104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. PS-104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; PS-104:15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart. PS-104:16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; PS-104:17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house. PS-104:18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies. PS-104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. PS-104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth]. PS-104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. PS-104:22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. PS-104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. PS-104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. PS-104:25 [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. PS-104:26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou hast made to play therein. PS-104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season. PS-104:28 [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. PS-104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. PS-104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. PS-104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. PS-104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. PS-104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. PS-104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. PS-104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. PS-105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. PS-105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. PS-105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. PS-105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; PS-105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. PS-105:7 He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth. PS-105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations. PS-105:9 Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; PS-105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant: PS-105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: PS-105:12 When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. PS-105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people; PS-105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; PS-105:15 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. PS-105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. PS-105:17 He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant: PS-105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: PS-105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. PS-105:20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free. PS-105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: PS-105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. PS-105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. PS-105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. PS-105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly with his servants. PS-105:26 He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen. PS-105:27 They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. PS-105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. PS-105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. PS-105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. PS-105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts. PS-105:32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land. PS-105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. PS-105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number, PS-105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. PS-105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. PS-105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes. PS-105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. PS-105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. PS-105:40 [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. PS-105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river. PS-105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant. PS-105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness: PS-105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; PS-105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can show forth all his praise? PS-106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times. PS-106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; PS-106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. PS-106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. PS-106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea, [even] at the Red sea. PS-106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. PS-106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. PS-106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. PS-106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. PS-106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. PS-106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: PS-106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. PS-106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. PS-106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD. PS-106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. PS-106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. PS-106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. PS-106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. PS-106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; PS-106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea. PS-106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them]. PS-106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: PS-106:25 But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. PS-106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: PS-106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. PS-106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. PS-106:29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. PS-106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed. PS-106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. PS-106:32 They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: PS-106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. PS-106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: PS-106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. PS-106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. PS-106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, PS-106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. PS-106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. PS-106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. PS-106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. PS-106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. PS-106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. PS-106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: PS-106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. PS-106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. PS-106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise. PS-106:48 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; PS-107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. PS-107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. PS-107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. PS-107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses. PS-107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. PS-107:8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! PS-107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. PS-107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron; PS-107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: PS-107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help. PS-107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses. PS-107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. PS-107:15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! PS-107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. PS-107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. PS-107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. PS-107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses. PS-107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions. PS-107:21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! PS-107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. PS-107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; PS-107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. PS-107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. PS-107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. PS-107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. PS-107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. PS-107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. PS-107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. PS-107:31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! PS-107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. PS-107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; PS-107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. PS-107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. PS-107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; PS-107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. PS-107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. PS-107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. PS-107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way. PS-107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock. PS-107:42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. PS-107:43 Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. ==== PS-108:1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. PS-108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early. PS-108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. PS-108:4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds. PS-108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; PS-108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me. PS-108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. PS-108:8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; PS-108:9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. PS-108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? PS-108:11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? PS-108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. PS-108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies. ==== PS-109:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; PS-109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. PS-109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. PS-109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer. PS-109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. PS-109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. PS-109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. PS-109:8 Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office. PS-109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. PS-109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places. PS-109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. PS-109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. PS-109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out. PS-109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. PS-109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. PS-109:16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. PS-109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. PS-109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. PS-109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. PS-109:20 [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. PS-109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me. PS-109:22 For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. PS-109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. PS-109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. PS-109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads. PS-109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: PS-109:27 That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it. PS-109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. PS-109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. PS-109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. PS-109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul. ==== PS-110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. PS-110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. PS-110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. PS-110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. PS-110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. PS-110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. PS-110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. ==== PS-111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation. PS-111:2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. PS-111:3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. PS-111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion. PS-111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. PS-111:6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. PS-111:7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure. PS-111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness. PS-111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name. PS-111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever. ==== PS-112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments. PS-112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. PS-112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. PS-112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. PS-112:5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. PS-112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. PS-112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. PS-112:8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies. PS-112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. PS-112:10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. ==== PS-113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. PS-113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. PS-113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name [is] to be praised. PS-113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens. PS-113:5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, PS-113:6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth! PS-113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; PS-113:8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people. PS-113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; PS-114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion. PS-114:3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back. PS-114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs. PS-114:5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back? PS-114:6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs? PS-114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; PS-114:8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. ==== PS-115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake. PS-115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God? PS-115:3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. PS-115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. PS-115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: PS-115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: PS-115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. PS-115:8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them. PS-115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. PS-115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. PS-115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. PS-115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. PS-115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great. PS-115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. PS-115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. PS-115:16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. PS-115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. PS-115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. ==== PS-116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications. PS-116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live. PS-116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. PS-116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. PS-116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful. PS-116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. PS-116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. PS-116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. PS-116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. PS-116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: PS-116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars. PS-116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? PS-116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. PS-116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. PS-116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. PS-116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. PS-116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. PS-116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, PS-116:19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-117:1 O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. PS-117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place. PS-118:6 The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? PS-118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me. PS-118:8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. PS-118:9 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. PS-118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. PS-118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. PS-118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. PS-118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. PS-118:14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation. PS-118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. PS-118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. PS-118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. PS-118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. PS-118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD: PS-118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. PS-118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. PS-118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. PS-118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes. PS-118:24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. PS-118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. PS-118:26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. PS-118:27 God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar. PS-118:28 Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee. PS-118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. ==== PS-119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. PS-119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart. PS-119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. PS-119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently. PS-119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! PS-119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. PS-119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. PS-119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. PS-119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word. PS-119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. PS-119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. PS-119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. PS-119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. PS-119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches. PS-119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. PS-119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. PS-119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word. PS-119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. PS-119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. PS-119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy judgments at all times. PS-119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do err from thy commandments. PS-119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. PS-119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. PS-119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my counsellors. PS-119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. PS-119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. PS-119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. PS-119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. PS-119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. PS-119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me]. PS-119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. PS-119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. PS-119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [unto] the end. PS-119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart. PS-119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. PS-119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. PS-119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. PS-119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear. PS-119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good. PS-119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. PS-119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. PS-119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. PS-119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. PS-119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. PS-119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. PS-119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. PS-119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. PS-119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. PS-119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. PS-119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. PS-119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law. PS-119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. PS-119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. PS-119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. PS-119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. PS-119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. PS-119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. PS-119:58 I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. PS-119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. PS-119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. PS-119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law. PS-119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. PS-119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. PS-119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. PS-119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. PS-119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. PS-119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. PS-119:68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. PS-119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart. PS-119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in thy law. PS-119:71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. PS-119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. PS-119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. PS-119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. PS-119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. PS-119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. PS-119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight. PS-119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts. PS-119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. PS-119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. PS-119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word. PS-119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? PS-119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I not forget thy statutes. PS-119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? PS-119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law. PS-119:86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. PS-119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. PS-119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. PS-119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. PS-119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. PS-119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants. PS-119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. PS-119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. PS-119:94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. PS-119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies. PS-119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad. PS-119:97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day. PS-119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me. PS-119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. PS-119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. PS-119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. PS-119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. PS-119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth! PS-119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. PS-119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. PS-119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments. PS-119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. PS-119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. PS-119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. PS-119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. PS-119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart. PS-119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end. PS-119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love. PS-119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. PS-119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. PS-119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. PS-119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. PS-119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood. PS-119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. PS-119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. PS-119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. PS-119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. PS-119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. PS-119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. PS-119:125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. PS-119:126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law. PS-119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. PS-119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way. PS-119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. PS-119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. PS-119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. PS-119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. PS-119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. PS-119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. PS-119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. PS-119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. PS-119:137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments. PS-119:138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful. PS-119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. PS-119:140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. PS-119:141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy precepts. PS-119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth. PS-119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights. PS-119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. PS-119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. PS-119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. PS-119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. PS-119:148 Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word. PS-119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. PS-119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. PS-119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth. PS-119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. PS-119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. PS-119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. PS-119:155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

PS-119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. PS-119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness. PS-119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. PS-119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight. PS-119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. PS-119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. ==== PS-120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. PS-120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue. PS-120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? PS-120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. PS-120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar! PS-120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. PS-120:7 I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war. ==== PS-121:1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. PS-121:2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. PS-121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. PS-121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. PS-121:5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand. PS-121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. PS-121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. PS-121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. ==== PS-122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. PS-122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. PS-122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: PS-122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. PS-122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. PS-122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. PS-122:7 Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces. PS-122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee. PS-122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. ==== PS-123:1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. PS-123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. PS-123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. PS-123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud. ==== PS-124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; PS-124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: PS-124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: PS-124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: PS-124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. PS-124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth. PS-124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. PS-124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ==== PS-125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever. PS-125:2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever. PS-125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. PS-125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts. PS-125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel. ==== PS-126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. PS-126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. PS-126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad. PS-126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. PS-126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. PS-126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him]. ==== PS-127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain. PS-127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep. PS-127:3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward. PS-127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. PS-127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. ==== PS-128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. PS-128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee. PS-128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. PS-128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. PS-128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. PS-128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel. ==== PS-129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: PS-129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. PS-129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. PS-129:4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. PS-129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. PS-129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: PS-129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. PS-129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. ==== PS-130:1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. PS-130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. PS-130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? PS-130:4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. PS-130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. PS-130:6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning. PS-130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption. PS-130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. ==== PS-131:1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. PS-131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child. PS-131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. ==== PS-132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions: PS-132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob; PS-132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; PS-132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids, PS-132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob. PS-132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. PS-132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. PS-132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. PS-132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. PS-132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. PS-132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. PS-132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. PS-132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation. PS-132:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. PS-132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. PS-132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. PS-132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. PS-132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. ==== PS-133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity! PS-133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; PS-133:3 As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore. ==== PS-134:1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye] servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. PS-134:2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. PS-134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. ==== PS-135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD. PS-135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, PS-135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant. PS-135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure. PS-135:5 For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [is] above all gods. PS-135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. PS-135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. PS-135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. PS-135:9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. PS-135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; PS-135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: PS-135:12 And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. PS-135:13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. PS-135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. PS-135:15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. PS-135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; PS-135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths. PS-135:18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them. PS-135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: PS-135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. PS-135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. ==== PS-136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:22 [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: PS-136:24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. PS-136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. ==== PS-137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. PS-137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. PS-137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion. PS-137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? PS-137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning]. PS-137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. PS-137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the foundation thereof. PS-137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. PS-137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. ==== PS-138:1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. PS-138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. PS-138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul. PS-138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. PS-138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD. PS-138:6 Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. PS-138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. PS-138:8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. ==== PS-139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. PS-139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. PS-139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted [with] all my ways. PS-139:4 For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. PS-139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. PS-139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it. PS-139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? PS-139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there]. PS-139:9 [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; PS-139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. PS-139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. PS-139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. PS-139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. PS-139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well. PS-139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. PS-139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them. PS-139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! PS-139:18 [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. PS-139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. PS-139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine enemies take [thy name] in vain. PS-139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? PS-139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. PS-139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: PS-139:24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ==== PS-140:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; PS-140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they gathered together [for] war. PS-140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison [is] under their lips. Selah. PS-140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. PS-140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. PS-140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. PS-140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. PS-140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah. PS-140:9 [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. PS-140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. PS-140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him]. PS-140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor. PS-140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. ==== PS-141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. PS-141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice. PS-141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. PS-141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. PS-141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities. PS-141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. PS-141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. PS-141:8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. PS-141:9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. PS-141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. ==== PS-142:1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. PS-142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble. PS-142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. PS-142:4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. PS-142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living. PS-142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. PS-142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. ==== PS-143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness. PS-143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. PS-143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. PS-143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. PS-143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. PS-143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. PS-143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. PS-143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. PS-143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. PS-143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness. PS-143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. PS-143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant. ==== PS-144:1 [A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight: PS-144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. PS-144:3 LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him! [or] the son of man, that thou makest account of him! PS-144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that passeth away. PS-144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. PS-144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. PS-144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; PS-144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood. PS-144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. PS-144:10 [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. PS-144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood: PS-144:12 That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their youth; [that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished [after] the similitude of a palace: PS-144:13 [That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner of store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: PS-144:14 [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there be] no breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no complaining in our streets. PS-144:15 Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD. ==== PS-145:1 David's [Psalm] of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. PS-145:2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
