1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
1:2 But his delight is in the law of the
1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6 For the
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the
2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
2:4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the
2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
2:7 I will declare the decree: the
2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
2:10 Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
2:11 Serve the
2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
3:1
3:2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in
3:3 But you, O
3:4 I cried unto the
3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the
3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
3:7 Arise, O
3:8 Salvation belongs unto the
4:1 Hear me when I call, O
4:2 O all of you sons of men, how long will all of you turn my glory into shame? how long will all of you love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
4:3 But know that the
4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the
4:6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good?
4:7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you,
5:1 Give ear to my words, O
5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my
5:3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O
5:4 For you are not a
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
5:6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the
5:7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
5:8 Lead me, O
5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
5:10 Destroy you them, O
5:11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
5:12 For you,
6:1 O
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O
6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O
6:4 Return, O
6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?
6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxs old because of all mine enemies.
6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the
6:9 The
6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
7:1 O
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
7:3 O
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:)
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.
7:6 Arise, O
7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
7:8 The
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous
7:10 My defence is of
7:11
7:12 If he turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
7:13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14 Behold, he labors with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown of the head.
7:17 I will praise the
8:1 O
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
8:4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?
8:5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.
8:6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O
9:1 I will praise you, O
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
9:4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
9:5 You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
9:7 But the
9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9:9 The
9:10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you,
9:11 Sing praises to the
9:12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O
9:14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 The
9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget
9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O
9:20 Put them in fear, O
10:1 Why stand you far off, O
10:2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the
10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after
10:5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
10:6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
10:8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
10:9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10:10 He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
10:11 He has said in his heart,
10:12 Arise, O
10:13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn
10:14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
10:15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
10:16 The
10:17
10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
11:1 In the
11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privately shoot at the upright in heart.
11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
11:4 The
11:5 The
11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
11:7 For the righteous
12:1 Help,
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the
12:6 The words of the
12:7 You shall keep them, O
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
13:1 How long will you forget me, O
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?
13:3 Consider and hear me, O
13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
13:5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
13:6 I will sing unto the
14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no
14:2 The
14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.
14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the
14:5 There were they in great fear: for
14:6 All of you have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the
15:1
15:2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
15:3 He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.
15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the
15:5 He that puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
16:1 Preserve me, O
16:2 O my soul, you have said unto the
16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
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.
16:5 The
16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
16:7 I will bless the
16:8 I have set the
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
16:10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
17:1 Hear the right, O
17:2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
17:3 You have proved mine heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
17:5 Hold up my activities in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
17:6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O
17:7 Show your marvellous loving kindness, O you that save by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
17:12 Like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
17:13 Arise, O
17:14 From men which are your hand, O
17:15 As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
18:1 I will love you, O
18:2 The
18:3 I will call upon the
18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
18:6 In my distress I called upon the
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry.
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
18:13 The
18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and humiliated them.
18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the
18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
18:20 The
18:21 For I have kept the ways of the
18:22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
18:24 Therefore has the
18:25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
18:26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself perverse.
18:27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
18:28 For you will light my candle: the
18:29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my
18:30 As for
18:31 For who is
18:32 It is
18:33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
18:34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
18:35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
18:36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I return till they were consumed.
18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
18:39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
18:40 You have also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
18:41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the
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.
18:43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
18:46 The
18:47 It is
18:48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O
18:50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of
19:2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
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.
19:7 The law of the
19:8 The statutes of the
19:9 The fear of the
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret faults.
19:13 Keep back your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O
20:1 The
20:2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
20:3 Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; Selah.
20:4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.
20:5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our
20:6 Now know I that the
20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the
20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
20:9 Save,
21:1 The king shall joy in your strength, O
21:2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
21:3 For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
21:5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and majesty have you laid upon him.
21:6 For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.
21:7 For the king trusts in the
21:8 your hand shall find out all of your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.
21:9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the
21:10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
21:11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
21:12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.
21:13 Be you exalted,
22:1 My
22:2 O my
22:3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
22:4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
22:5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
22:8 He trusted on the
22:9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
22:10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my
22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
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.
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
22:19 But be not you far from me, O
22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22:22 I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
22:23 All of you that fear the
22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
22:25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
22:28 For the kingdom is the
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.
22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the
22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this.
23:1 The
23:2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
23:3 He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.
23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the
24:1 The earth is the
24:2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the
24:4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the
24:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah.
24:7 Lift up your heads, O all of you gates; and be all of you lift up, all of you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
24:8 Who is this King of glory? The
24:9 Lift up your heads, O all of you gates; even lift them up, all of you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
24:10 Who is this King of glory? The
25:1 Unto you, O
25:2 O my
25:3 Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
25:4 Show me your ways, O
25:5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the
25:6 Remember, O
25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O
25:8 Good and upright is the
25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
25:10 All the paths of the
25:11 For your name's sake, O
25:12 What man is he that fears the
25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
25:14 The secret of the
25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the
25:16 Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O
26:1 Judge me, O
26:2 Examine me, O
26:3 For your loving kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in your truth.
26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O
26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.
26:8
26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
26:12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the
27:1 The
27:2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
27:3 Though an host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
27:4 One thing have I desired of the
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.
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
27:7 Hear, O
27:8 When you said, Seek all of you my face; my heart said unto you, Your face,
27:9 Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O
27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the
27:11 Teach me your way, O
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.
27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the
27:14 Wait on the
28:1 Unto you will I cry, O
28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle.
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.
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.
28:5 Because they regard not the works of the
28:6 Blessed be the

30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
30:7
30:8 I cried to you, O
30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?
30:10 Hear, O
30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O
31:1 In you, O
31:2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
31:3 For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.
31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for you are my strength.
31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O
31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the
31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
31:8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a large room.
31:9 Have mercy upon me, O
31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
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.
31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
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.
31:14 But I trusted in you, O
31:15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
31:16 Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O
31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
31:19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
31:20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed be the
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
31:23 O love the

32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the
32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
32:4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto you, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
32:7 You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with mine eye.
32:9 Be all of you 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 you.
32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the

33:15 He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
33:18 Behold, the eye of the
33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
33:20 Our soul waits for the
33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
33:22 Let your mercy, O
34:1 I will bless the
34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the
34:3 O magnify the
34:4 I sought the
34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
34:6 This poor man cried, and the
34:7 The angel of the
34:8 O taste and see that the
34:9 O fear the
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the
34:11 Come, all of you children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the
34:12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of the
34:16 The face of the
34:17 The righteous cry, and the
34:18 The
34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the
34:20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
34:22 The
35:1 Plead my cause, O
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.
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.
35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.
35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unexpectedly; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the
35:10 All my bones shall say,
35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
35:12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
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.
35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the outcasts gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
35:17
35:18 I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
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.
35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
35:22 This you have seen, O
35:23 Stir up yourself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my
35:24 Judge me, O
35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
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.
35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the
35:28 And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.
36:1 The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of
36:2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.
36:4 He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he detests not evil.
36:5 Your mercy, O
36:6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O
36:7 How excellent is your loving kindness, O
36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
36:9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
36:10 O continue your loving kindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
37:1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
37:3 Trust in the
37:4 Delight yourself also in the
37:5 Commit your way unto the
37:6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
37:7 Rest in the
37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any way to do evil.
37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
37:13 The
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.
37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
37:16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the
37:18 The
37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the
37:21 The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the
37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28 For the
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.
37:31 The law of his
37:32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
37:33 The
37:34 Wait on the
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the
37:40 And the
38:1 O lord, rebuke me not in your wrath: neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
38:2 For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me sore.
38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
38:5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the chaos of my heart.
38:9
38:10 My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand far off.
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.
38:13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.
38:14 Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
38:15 For in you, O
38:16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.
38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
38:19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
38:21 Forsake me not, O
38:22 Make haste to help me, O
39:1 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.
39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,
39:4
39:5 Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before you: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
39:6 Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.
39:7 And now,
39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you did it.
39:10 Remove your stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of your hand.
39:11 When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O
39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go behind, and be no more.
40:1 I waited patiently for the
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 activities.
40:3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
40:4 Blessed is that man that makes the
40:5 Many, O
40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; mine ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
40:8 I delight to do your will, O my
40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O
40:10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
40:11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O
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 fails me.
40:13 Be pleased, O
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.
40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
40:16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The
40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the
41:1 Blessed is he that considers the poor: the
41:2 The
41:3 The
41:4 I said,
41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
41:6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.
41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
41:8 An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
41:10 But you, O
41:11 By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.
41:12 And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
41:13 Blessed be the
42:1 As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O
42:2 My soul thirsts for
42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your
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
42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in
42:6 O my
42:7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts: all your waves and your billows are gone over me.
42:8 Yet the
42:9 I will say unto
42:10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your
42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope you in
43:1 Judge me, O
43:2 For you are the
43:3 O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of
43:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in
44:1 We have heard with our ears, O
44:2 How you did drive out the heathen with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.
44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you had a favour unto them.
44:4 You are my King, O
44:5 Through you will we push down our enemies: through your name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
44:7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.
44:8 In
44:9 But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.
44:10 You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
44:11 You have given us like sheep appointed for food; and have scattered us among the heathen.
44:12 You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase your wealth by their price.
44:13 You make us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
44:14 You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
44:15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
44:16 For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
44:17 All this has come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
44:19 Though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our
44:21 Shall not
44:22 Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23 Awake, why sleep you, O
44:24 Wherefore hide you your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaves unto the earth.
44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies' sake.
45:1 My heart is composing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2 You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore
45:3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
45:4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
45:5 your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
45:6 Your throne, O
45:7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore
45:8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
45:9 Kings' daughters were among your honourable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house;
45:11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your
45:12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall implore your favour.
45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16 Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.
45:17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you for ever and ever.
46:1
46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of
46:5
46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
46:7 The
46:8 Come, behold the works of the
46:9 He makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two; he burns the chariot in the fire.
46:10 Be still, and know that I am
46:11 The
47:1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto
47:2 For the
47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
47:5
47:6 Sing praises to
47:7 For
47:8
47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the
48:1 Great is the
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.
48:3
48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
48:5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
48:7 You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the
48:9 We have thought of your loving kindness, O
48:10 According to your name, O
48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
48:13 Mark all of you well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that all of you may tell it to the generation following.
48:14 For this
49:1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to
49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases for ever:)
49:9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
49:10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
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.
49:12 Nevertheless man being in honour abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.
49:13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
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.
49:15 But
49:16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
49:20 Man that is in honour, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
50:1 The mighty
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
50:3 Our
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for
50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am
50:8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
50:9 I will take no bullock out of your house, nor he goats out of your folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer unto
50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.
50:16 But unto the wicked
50:17 Seeing you hate instruction, and casts my words behind you.
50:18 When you saw a thief, then you consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.
50:19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
50:20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.
50:21 These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove you, and set them in order before your eyes.
50:22 Now consider this, all of you that forget
50:23 Whoso offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of
51:1 Have mercy upon me, O
51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
51:4 Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
51:5 Behold, I was formed in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O
51:11 Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me.
51:12 Restore unto me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
51:13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted unto you.
51:14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O
51:15 O
51:16 For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of
51:18 Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon your altar.
52:1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of
52:2 The tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
52:3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
52:4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
52:5
52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
52:7 Lo, this is the man that made not
52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of
52:9 I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your saints.
53:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no
53:2
53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.
53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon
53:5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for
53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When
54:1 Save me, O
54:2 Hear my prayer, O
54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set
54:4 Behold,
54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in your truth.
54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O
54:7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen his desire upon mine enemies.
55:1 Give ear to my prayer, O
55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
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.
55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
55:7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
55:9 Destroy, O
55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
55:11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
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:
55:13 But it was you, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of
55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
55:16 As for me, I will call upon
55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
55:18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
55:19
55:20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
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.
55:22 Cast your burden upon the
55:23 But you, O
56:1 Be merciful unto me, O
56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you most High.
56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in you.
56:4 In
56:5 Every day they shift my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O
56:8 You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?
56:9 When I cry unto you, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for
56:10 In
56:11 In
56:12 Your vows are upon me, O
56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before
57:1 Be merciful unto me, O
57:2 I will cry unto
57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.
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.
57:5 Be you exalted, O
57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
57:7 My heart is fixed, O
57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
57:9 I will praise you, O
57:10 For your mercy is great unto the heavens, and your truth unto the clouds.
57:11 Be you exalted, O
58:1 Do all of you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do all of you judge uprightly, O all of you sons of men?
58:2 Yea, in heart all of you work wickedness; all of you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
58:3 The wicked are cut off from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;
58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
58:6 Break their teeth, O
58:7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
58:8 As a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a
59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
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
59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
59:5 You therefore, O
59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
59:8 But you, O
59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon you: for
59:10 The
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O
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.
59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that
59:14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
59:15 Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
59:16 But I will sing of your power; yea, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17 Unto you, O my strength, will I sing: for
60:1 O
60:2 You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
60:3 You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
60:4 You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
60:6
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
60:8 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
60:10 Will not you, O
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
60:12 Through
61:1 Hear my cry, O
61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
61:4 I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah.
61:5 For you, O
61:6 You will prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
61:7 He shall abide before
61:8 So will I sing praise unto your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
62:1 Truly my soul waits upon
62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
62:3 How long will all of you imagine mischief against a man? all of you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall all of you be, and as a tottering fence.
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.
62:5 My soul, wait you only upon
62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
62:7 In
62:8 Trust in him at all times; all of you people, pour out your heart before him:
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.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
62:11
62:12 Also unto you, O
63:1 O
63:2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
63:3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
63:4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
63:6 When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
63:7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
63:8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
63:11 But the king shall rejoice in
64:1 Hear my voice, O
64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
64:3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
64:5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?
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.
64:7 But
64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of
64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the
65:1 Praise waits for you, O
65:2 O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
65:4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
65:5 By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O
65:6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
65:7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the utmost limit of the morning and evening to rejoice.
65:9 You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of
65:10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
65:11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
65:12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
66:1 Make a joyful noise unto
66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
66:3 Say unto
66:4 All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing unto you; they shall sing to your name. Selah.
66:5 Come and see the works of
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
66:7 He rules by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
66:8 O bless our
66:9 Which holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved.
66:10 For you, O
66:11 You brought us into the net; you laid affliction upon our loins.
66:12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place.
66:13 I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows,
66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.
66:15 I will offer unto you burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
66:16 Come and hear, all you that fear
66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the
66:19 But verily
66:20 Blessed be
67:1
67:2 That your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.
67:3 Let the people praise you, O
67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
67:5 Let the people praise you, O
67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and
67:7
68:1 Let
68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of
68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before
68:4 Sing unto
68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is
68:6
68:7 O
68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of
68:9 You, O
68:10 Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O
68:11 The
68:12 Kings of armies did flee swiftly: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
68:13 Though all of you have lien among the pots, yet shall all of you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
68:15 The hill of
68:16 Why leap all of you, all of you high hills? this is the hill which
68:17 The chariots of
68:18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the
68:19 Blessed be the
68:20 He that is our
68:21 But
68:22 The
68:23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
68:24 They have seen your activities, O
68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
68:26 Bless all of you
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.
68:28 Your
68:29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.
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 you the people that delight in war.
68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto
68:32 Sing unto
68:33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
68:34 Ascribe all of you strength unto
68:35 O
69:1 Save me, O
69:2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my
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.
69:5 O
69:6 Let not them that wait on you, O
69:7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an foreigner unto my mother's children.
69:9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
69:10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
69:13 But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O
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.
69:15 Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
69:16 Hear me, O
69:17 And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
69:19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before you.
69:20 Reproach has 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.
69:21 They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
69:24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
69:26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O
69:30 I will praise the name of
69:31 This also shall please the
69:32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek
69:33 For the
69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moves therein.
69:35 For
69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
70:1 MAKE HASTE, O
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.
70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
70:4 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your salvation say continually, Let
70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O
71:1 In you, O
71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.
71:3 Be you my strong habitation, unto which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
71:4 Deliver me, O my
71:5 For you are my hope, O
71:6 By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.
71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.
71:8 Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honour all the day.
71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
71:11 Saying,
71:12 O
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.
71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
71:15 My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
71:16 I will go in the strength of the
71:17 O
71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O
71:19 Your righteousness also, O
71:20 You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall restore life in me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
71:21 You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
71:22 I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my
71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
71:24 My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
72:1 Give the king your judgments, O
72:2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
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.
72:5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
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.
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.
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.
72:18 Blessed be the
72:19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
73:1 Truly
73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
73:4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
73:5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
73:6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
73:10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
73:11 And they say, How does
73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of
73:18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
73:20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O
73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
73:22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
73:24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
73:25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
73:26 My flesh and my heart fails: but
73:27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to
74:1 O
74:2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
74:3 Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
74:4 your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
74:5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
74:6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
74:7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of
74:9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
74:10 O
74:11 Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.
74:12 For
74:13 You did divide the sea by your strength: you brake the heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14 You brake the heads of leviathan (p. sea serpent) in pieces, and gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
74:15 You did cleave the fountain and the flood: you dried up mighty rivers.
74:16 The day is yours, the night also is yours: you have prepared the light and the sun.
74:17 You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer and winter.
74:18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O
74:19 O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor for ever.
74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
74:22 Arise, O
74:23 Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
75:1 Unto you, O
75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
75:6 For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
75:7 But
75:8 For in the hand of the
75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the
75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
76:1 In Judah is
76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
76:4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
76:6 At your rebuke, O
76:7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
76:8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
76:9 When
76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
76:11 Vow, and pay unto the
76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
77:1 I cried unto
77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the
77:3 I remembered
77:4 You hold mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
77:7 Will the
77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for evermore?
77:9 Has
77:10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
77:11 I will remember the works of the
77:12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
77:13 Your way, O
77:14 You are the
77:15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16 The waters saw you, O
77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.
77:18 The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
77:19 Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
77:20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
78:4 We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the
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:
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:
78:7 That they might set their hope in
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 steadfast with
78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
78:10 They kept not the covenant of
78:11 And forgotten about his works, and his wonders that he had showed them.
78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
78:18 And they tempted
78:19 Yea, they spoke against
78:20 Behold, he stroke the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
78:21 Therefore the
78:22 Because they believed not in
78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them food to the full.
78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like the sand of the sea:
78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
78:30 They were not cut off from their lust. But while their food was yet in their mouths,
78:31 The wrath of
78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after
78:35 And they remembered that
78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.
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.
78:39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passes away, and comes not again.
78:40 How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted
78:42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.
78:44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51 And stroke all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
78:54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
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.
78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high
78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
78:58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
78:59 When
78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
78:62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was angry with his inheritance.
78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
78:65 Then the
78:66 And he stroke his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he has established for ever.
78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
79:1 O god, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
79:2 The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints unto the beasts of the earth.
79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
79:5 How long,
79:6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.
79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
79:9 Help us, O
79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;
79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached you, O
79:13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubims, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.
80:3 Turn us again, O
80:4 O
80:5 You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
80:6 You make us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O
80:8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
80:9 You prepared room before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
80:12 Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13 The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
80:14 Return, we plead to you, O
80:15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
80:17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
80:18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us, and we will call upon your name.
80:19 Turn us again, O
81:1 Sing aloud unto
81:2 Take a psalm, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the
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.
81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
81:7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;
81:9 There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
81:10 I am the
81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel refused me.
81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
81:15 The haters of the
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 you.
82:1
82:2 How long will all of you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, All of you are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
82:7 But all of you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O
83:1 Keep not you silence, O
83:2 For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.
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.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of
83:13 O my
83:14 As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
83:15 So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18 That men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the most high over all the earth.
84:1 How lovely are your tabernacles, O
84:2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the
84:3 Yea, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before
84:8 O
84:9 Behold, O
84:10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my
84:11 For the
84:12 O
85:1
85:2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
85:4 Turn us, O
85:5 Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
85:6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
85:7 Show us your mercy, O
85:8 I will hear what
85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
85:12 Yea, the
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
86:1 Bow down your ear, O
86:2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my
86:3 Be merciful unto me, O
86:4 Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O
86:5 For you,
86:6 Give ear, O
86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.
86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto you, O
86:9 All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O
86:10 For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are
86:11 Teach me your way, O
86:12 I will praise you, O
86:13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell.
86:14 O
86:15 But you, O
86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
86:17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you,
87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
87:2 The
87:3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of
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.
87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
87:6 The
87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in you.
88:1 O lord
88:2 Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws nigh unto the grave.
88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
88:6 You have laid me in the low pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
88:7 Your wrath lies hard upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
88:8 You have put away mine acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
88:9 Mine eye mourns by reason of affliction:
88:10 Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.
88:11 Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
88:12 Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13 But unto you have I cried, O
88:14
88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
88:16 Your fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
88:18 Lover and friend have you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the
89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: your faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens.
89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
89:4 Your seed will I establish for ever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.
89:5 And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O
89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the
89:7
89:8 O
89:9 You rule the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, you still them.
89:10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your strong arm.
89:11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours: as for the world and the fullness thereof, you have founded them.
89:12 The north and the south you have created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name.
89:13 You have a mighty arm: strong is your hand, and high is your right hand.
89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.
89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O
89:16 In your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.
89:17 For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favour our horn shall be exalted.
89:18 For the
89:19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
89:26 He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my
89:27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
89:33 Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38 But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been angry with your anointed.
89:39 You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
89:40 You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strong holds to ruin.
89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
89:42 You have set up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 You have also turned the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.
89:44 You have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
89:45 The days of his youth have you shortened: you have covered him with shame. Selah.
89:46 How long,
89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore have you made all men in vain?
89:48 What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
89:49
89:50 Remember,
89:51 Wherewith your enemies have reproached, O
89:52 Blessed be the
90:1
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before even you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are
90:3 You turn man to destruction; and says, Return, all of you children of men.
90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
90:5 You carry them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.
90:6 In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and withers.
90:7 For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.
90:8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
90:9 For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
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.
90:11 Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.
90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
90:13 Return, O
90:14 O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
90:16 Let your work appear unto your servants, and your glory unto their children.
90:17 And let the beauty of the
91:1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:2 I will say of the
91:3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the dangerous pestilence.
91:4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
91:5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.
91:8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
91:9 Because you have made the
91:10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
91:12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
91:13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
91:14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
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.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
92:1 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE
92:2 To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
92:4 For you,
92:5 O
92:6 A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.
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:
92:8 But you,
92:9 For, lo, your enemies, O
92:10 But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn (p. ox): I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
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.
92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the
92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
92:15 To show that the
93:1 The
93:2 Your throne is established of old: you are from everlasting.
93:3 The floods have lifted up, O
93:4 The
93:5 Your testimonies are very sure: holiness becomes your house, O
94:1 O
94:2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
94:3
94:4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
94:5 They break in pieces your people, O
94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
94:7 Yet they say, The
94:8 Understand, all of you brutish among the people: and all of you fools, when will all of you be wise?
94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
94:10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
94:11 The
94:12 Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O
94:13 That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
94:14 For the
94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
94:17 Unless the
94:18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
94:22 But the
94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the
95:1 O come, let us sing unto the
95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
95:3 For the
95:4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
95:5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the
95:7 For he is our
95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
95:11 Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
96:1 O sing unto the
96:2 Sing unto the
96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
96:4 For the
96:5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the
96:6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
96:7 Give unto the
96:8 Give unto the
96:9 O worship the
96:10 Say among the heathen that the
96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.
96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
96:13 Before the
97:1 The
97:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
97:3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.
97:4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
97:5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the
97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all you gods.
97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, O
97:9 For you,
97:10 All of you that love the
97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
97:12 Rejoice in the
98:1 O sing unto the
98:2 The
98:3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our
98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the
98:5 Sing unto the
98:6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the
98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
98:8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
98:9 Before the
99:1 The
99:2 The
99:3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
99:4 The king's strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
99:5 Exalt all of you the
99:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the
99:7 He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
99:8 You answered them, O
99:9 Exalt the

100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
100:5 For the
101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto you, O
101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
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.
101:4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
101:5 Whoso privately slanders his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that has an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
101:7 He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.
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
102:1 Hear my prayer, O
102:2 Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
102:10 Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.
102:11 My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.
102:12 But you, O
102:13 You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, has come.
102:14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the
102:16 When the
102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the
102:19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
102:21 To declare the name of the
102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the
102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
102:24 I said, O my
102:25 Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.
102:26 They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:
102:27 But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.
102:28 The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before you.
103:1 Bless the
103:2 Bless the
103:3 Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
103:4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
103:5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
103:6 The
103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
103:8 The
103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
103:10 He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
103:13 Like a father pities his children, so the
103:14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
103:17 But the mercy of the
103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
103:19 The
103:20 Bless the
103:21 Bless all of you the
103:22 Bless the
104:1 Bless the
104:2 Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:
104:4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hasted away.
104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
104:9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
104:15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.
104:16 The trees of the
104:17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
104:20 You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from
104:22 The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
104:23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:24 O
104:25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan (p. sea serpent), whom you have made to play therein.
104:27 These wait all upon you; that you may give them their food in due season.
104:28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
104:29 You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:30 You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
104:31 The glory of the
104:32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
104:33 I will sing unto the
104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the
104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the
105:1 O give thanks unto the
105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk all of you of all his wondrous works.
105:3 Glory all of you in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
105:4 Seek the
105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
105:6 O all of you seed of Abraham his servant, all of you children of Jacob his chosen.
105:7 He is the
105:8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
105:11 Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the
105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtlely with his servants.
105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
105:27 They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
105:33 He stroke their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,
105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
105:36 He stroke also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise all of you the
106:1 Praise all of you the
106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the
106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that does righteousness at all times.
106:4 Remember me, O
106:5 That I may see the good of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:7 Our fathers understood not your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of your mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
106:13 They soon forgotten about his works; they waited not for his counsel:
106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted
106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the
106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the embodiment of an ox that eats grass.
106:21 They forgotten about
106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
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.
106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the
106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
106:32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke without due consideration with his lips.
106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the
106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
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.
106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the
106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
106:47 Save us, O
106:48 Blessed be the
107:1 O give thanks unto the
107:2 Let the redeemed of the
107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
107:6 Then they cried unto the
107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8 Oh that men would praise the
107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of
107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13 Then they cried unto the
107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in two.
107:15 Oh that men would praise the
107:16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in two.
107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:18 Their soul detests all manner of food; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
107:19 Then they cry unto the
107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
107:21 Oh that men would praise the
107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
107:24 These see the works of the
107:25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof.
107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
107:27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their know's end.
107:28 Then they cry unto the
107:29 He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brings them unto their desired haven.
107:31 Oh that men would praise the
107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
107:33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the fountains into dry ground;
107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into fountains.
107:36 And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
107:38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
107:39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
107:40 He pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
107:41 Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes him families like a flock.
107:42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the
108:1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
108:3 I will praise you, O
108:4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.
108:5 Be you exalted, O
108:6 That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
108:7
108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
108:9 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
108:11 Will not you, O
108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
108:13 Through
109:1 Hold not your peace, O
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.
109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
109:6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
109:11 Let the extortionist catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the
109:15 Let them be before the
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.
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.
109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the
109:21 But do you for me, O
109:22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh fails of fatness.
109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
109:26 Help me, O
109:27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you,
109:28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
109:30 I will greatly praise the
109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
110:1 The
110:2 The
110:3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.

110:5 The
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.
110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
111:1 Praise all of you the
111:2 The works of the
111:3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.
111:4 He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the
111:5 He has given food unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
111:6 He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
111:7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
111:10 The fear of the
112:1 Praise all of you the
112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.
112:4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:5 A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the
112:8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
112:9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
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.
113:1 Praise all of you the
113:2 Blessed be the name of the
113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the
113:4 The
113:5 Who is like unto the
113:6 Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
113:7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
113:8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
113:9 He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise all of you the
114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
114:3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
114:5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
114:6 All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
114:7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the
114:8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
115:1 Not unto us, O
115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their
115:3 But our
115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusts in them.
115:9 O Israel, trust you in the
115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the
115:11 All of you that fear the
115:12 The
115:13 He will bless them that fear the
115:14 The
115:15 All of you are blessed of the

115:18 But we will bless the
116:1 I love the
116:2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
116:4 Then called I upon the name of the
116:5 Gracious is the
116:6 The
116:7 Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the
116:8 For you have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
116:9 I will walk before the
116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
116:12 What shall I render unto the
116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the
116:14 I will pay my vows unto the
116:15 Precious in the sight of the

118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures for ever.
118:4 Let them now that fear the
118:5 I called upon the
118:6 The
118:7 The
118:8 It is better to trust in the
118:9 It is better to trust in the
118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the
118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the
118:12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the
118:13 You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the
118:14 The
118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the
118:16 The right hand of the
118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the
118:18 The
118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the
118:20 This gate of the
118:21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
118:23 This is the
118:24 This is the day which the
118:25 Save now, I plead to you, O
118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the

119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the
119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
119:4 You have commanded us to keep your precepts diligently.
119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes!
119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all your commandments.
119:7 I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments.
119:8 I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word.
119:10 With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments.
119:11 Your word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you.
119:12 Blessed are you, O
119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth.
119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
119:15 I will meditate in your precepts, and have respect unto your ways.
119:16 I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget your word.
119:17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word.
119:18 Open you mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me.
119:20 My soul breaks for the longing that it has unto your judgments at all times.
119:21 You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do go astray from your commandments.
119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies.
119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes.
119:24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.leth.
119:25 My soul cleaves unto the dust: you restore life in me according to your word.
119:26 I have declared my ways, and you heard me: teach me your statutes.
119:27 Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works.
119:28 My soul melts for heaviness: strengthen you me according unto your word.
119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously.
119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: your judgments have I laid before me.
119:31 I have stuck unto your testimonies: O
119:32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart.
119:33 Teach me, O
119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
119:35 Make me to go in the path of your commandments; for therein do I delight.
119:36 Incline my heart unto your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and you restore life in me in your way.
119:38 Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.
119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
119:40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: restore life in me in your righteousness.
119:41 Let your mercies come also unto me, O
119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproaches me: for I trust in your word.
119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep your law continually for ever and ever.
119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts.
119:46 I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
119:47 And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.
119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.
119:49 Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.
119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened me.
119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law.
119:52 I remembered your judgments of old, O
119:53 Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law.
119:54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
119:55 I have remembered your name, O
119:56 This I had, because I kept your precepts.
119:57 You are my portion, O
119:58 I implored your favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to your word.
119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto your testimonies.
119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments.
119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten your law.
119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto you because of your righteous judgments.
119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts.
119:64 The earth, O
119:65 You have dealt well with your servant, O
119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments.
119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word.
119:68 You are good, and do good; teach me your statutes.
119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep your precepts with my whole heart.
119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in your law.
119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
119:72 The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
119:73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
119:74 They that fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word.
119:75 I know, O
119:76 Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant.
119:77 Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your law is my delight.
119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.
119:79 Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known your testimonies.
119:80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed.
119:81 My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
119:82 Mine eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?
119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
119:84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85 The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after your law.
119:86 All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me.
119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
119:88 Restore life in me after your loving kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
119:89 For ever, O
119:90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
119:91 They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
119:92 Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
119:93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me.
119:94 I am yours, save me: for I have sought your precepts.
119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider your testimonies.
119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but your commandment is exceeding broad.
119:97 O how I love your law! it is my meditation all the day.
119:98 You through your commandments have made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation.
119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts.
119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word.
119:102 I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me.
119:103 How sweet are your words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
119:104 Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
119:105 Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments.
119:107 I am afflicted very much: restore life in me, O
119:108 Accept, I plead to you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O
119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law.
119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from your precepts.
119:111 Your testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform your statutes always, even unto the end.
119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word.
119:115 Depart from me, all of you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my
119:116 Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117 Hold you me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto your statutes continually.
119:118 You have trodden down all them that go astray from your statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119:119 You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies.
119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of you; and I am afraid of your judgments.
119:121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122 Be guarantor for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
119:123 Mine eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
119:124 Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes.
119:125 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
119:126 It is time for you,
119:127 Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
119:128 Therefore I esteem all your precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
119:129 Your testimonies are wonderful: therefore does my soul keep them.
119:130 The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple.
119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments.
119:132 Look you upon me, and be merciful unto me, as you use to do unto those that love your name.
119:133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep your precepts.
119:135 Make your face to shine upon your servant; and teach me your statutes.
119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not your law.
119:137 Righteous are you, O
119:138 Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and very faithful.
119:139 My zeal has consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten your words.
119:140 Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it.
119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget your precepts.
119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth.
119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights.
119:144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O
119:146 I cried unto you; save me, and I shall keep your testimonies.
119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in your word.
119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in your word.
119:149 Hear my voice according unto your loving kindness: O
119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from your law.
119:151 You are near, O
119:152 Concerning your testimonies, I have known of old that you have founded them for ever.
119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget your law.
119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: restore life in me according to your word.
119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes.
119:156 Great are your tender mercies, O
119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from your testimonies.
119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word.
119:159 Consider how I love your precepts: restore life in me, O
119:160 Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your righteous judgments endures for ever.
119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
119:162 I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil.
119:163 I hate and detest lying: but your law do I love.
119:164 Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
119:165 Great peace have they which love your law: and nothing shall offend them.
119:166
119:167 My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
119:168 I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you.
119:169 Let my cry come near before you, O
119:170 Let my supplication come before you: deliver me according to your word.
119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when you have taught me your statutes.
119:172 My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness.
119:173 Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts.
119:174 I have longed for your salvation, O
119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me.
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.
120:1 In my distress I cried unto the
120:2 Deliver my soul, O
120:3 What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?
120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
120:6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.
120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help.
121:2 My help comes from the
121:3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
121:4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
121:5 The
121:6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
121:7 The
121:8 The
122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the
122:2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:
122:4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the
122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.
122:7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.
122:9 Because of the house of the
123:1 Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.
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
123:3 Have mercy upon us, O
123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
124:1 If it had not been the
124:2 If it had not been the
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6 Blessed be the
124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:8 Our help is in the name of the
125:1 They that trust in the
125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the
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.
125:4 Do good, O
125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the
126:1 When the
126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The
126:3 The
126:4 Return our captivity, O
126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
126:6 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
127:1 Except the
127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.
127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the
127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
127:5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
128:1 Blessed is every one that fears the
128:2 For you shall eat the labour of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
128:3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.
128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the
128:5 The
128:6 Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.
129:1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
129:4 The
129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:
129:7 Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the
130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto you, O
130:2
130:3 If you,
130:4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared.
130:5 I wait for the
130:6 My soul waits for the

130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
131:1
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.
131:3 Let Israel hope in the
132:1
132:2 How he swore unto the
132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:5 Until I find out a place for the
132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
132:8 Arise, O
132:9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.
132:10 For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.
132:11 The
132:12 If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.
132:13 For the
132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
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;
133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the

135:8 Who stroke the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
135:9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
135:10 Who stroke great nations, and slew mighty kings;
135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
135:13 Your name, O
135:14 For the
135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
135:18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusts in them.

135:21 Blessed be the

136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:10 To him that stroke Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endures for ever.

136:17 To him which stroke great kings: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:22 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endures for ever:
136:24 And has redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:25 Who gives food to all flesh: for his mercy endures for ever.
136:26 O give thanks unto the
137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us delight, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
137:4 How shall we sing the
137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
137:6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, O
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
137:9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
138:1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.
138:2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.
138:3 In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.
138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O
138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the
138:6 Though the
138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand shall save me.
138:8 The
139:1 O lord, you have searched me, and known me.
139:2 You know my sitting down and mine rising up, you understand my thought far off.
139:3 You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O
139:5 You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
139:7 Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.
139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:12 Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
139:13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb.
139:14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
139:15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the low parts of the earth.
139:16 your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
139:17 How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O
139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
139:19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O
139:20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
139:21 Do not I hate them, O
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
139:23 Search me, O
139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
140:1 Deliver me, O
140:2 Which imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
140:4 Keep me, O
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.
140:6 I said unto the
140:7 O
140:8 Grant not, O
140:9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
140:12 I know that the
140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
141:1
141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a watch, O
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.
141:5 Let the righteous strike 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.
141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the earth.
141:8 But mine eyes are unto you, O
141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I likewise escape.
142:1 I cried unto the
142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.
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.
142:5 I cried unto you, O
142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
143:1 Hear my prayer, O
143:2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
143:3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I meditate on the work of your hands.
143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. Selah.
143:7 Hear me speedily, O
143:8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.
143:9 Deliver me, O
143:10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my
143:11 Restore life in me, O
143:12 And of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
144:1 Blessed be the
144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.
144:3
144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.
144:5 Bow your heavens, O
144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.
144:7 Send your hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
144:8 Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9 I will sing a new song unto you, O
144:10 It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
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 embodiment of a palace:
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:
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.
144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose
145:1 I will extol you, my
145:2 Every day will I bless you; and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
145:3 Great is the
145:4 One generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of your majesty, and of your wondrous works.
145:6 And men shall speak of the might of your terrible acts: and I will declare your greatness.
145:7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of your great goodness, and shall sing of your righteousness.
145:8 The
145:9 The
145:10 All your works shall praise you, O
145:11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your power;
145:12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
145:14 The
145:15 The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give them their food in due season.
145:16 You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
145:17 The
145:18 The
145:19 He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
145:20 The
145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the
146:1 Praise all of you the
146:2 While I live will I praise the
146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
146:4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
146:5 Happy is he that has the
146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:
146:7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The
146:8 The
146:9 The
146:10 The
147:1 Praise all of you the
147:2 The
147:3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
147:4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
147:5 Great is our
147:6 The
147:7 Sing unto the
147:8 Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
147:9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
147:10 He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11 The
147:12 Praise the
147:13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
147:14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
147:15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
147:16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
147:17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
147:18 He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
147:20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise all of you the
148:1 Praise all of you the
148:2 Praise all of you him, all his angels: praise all of you him, all his hosts.
148:3 Praise all of you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.
148:4 Praise him, all of you heavens of heavens, and all of you waters that be above the heavens.
148:5 Let them praise the name of the
148:6 He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
148:7 Praise the
148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
148:12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
148:13 Let them praise the name of the
