Psalms:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly ,
nor standeth in the way of sinners ,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful .
*
But his delight is in the law of the LORD ;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night .
*
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water ,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season ;
his leaf also shall not wither ;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper .
*
The ungodly are not so :
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away .
*
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment ,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous .
*
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous :
but the way of the ungodly shall perish .
*
Why do the heathen rage ,
and the people imagine a vain thing ?
*
The kings of the earth set themselves ,
and the rulers take counsel together ,
against the LORD ,
and against his anointed ,
saying ,
*
Let us break their bands asunder ,
and cast away their cords from us .
*
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh :
the Lord shall have them in derision .
*
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath ,
and vex them in his sore displeasure .
*
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion .
*
I will declare the decree :
the LORD hath said unto me ,
Thou art my Son ;
this day have I begotten thee .
*
Ask of me ,
and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance ,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession .
*
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter '
s vessel .
*
Be wise now therefore ,
O ye kings :
be instructed ,
ye judges of the earth .
*
Serve the LORD with fear ,
and rejoice with trembling .
*
Kiss the Son ,
lest he be angry ,
and ye perish from the way ,
when his wrath is kindled but a little .
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him .
*
LORD ,
how are they increased that trouble me !
many are they that rise up against me .
*
Many there be which say of my soul ,
There is no help for him in God .
Selah .
*
But thou ,
O LORD ,
art a shield for me ;
my glory ,
and the lifter up of mine head .
*
I cried unto the LORD with my voice ,
and he heard me out of his holy hill .
Selah .
*
I laid me down and slept ;
I awaked ;
for the LORD sustained me .
*
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people ,
that have set themselves against me round about .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ;
save me ,
O my God :
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone ;
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly .
*
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD :
thy blessing is upon thy people .
Selah .
*
Hear me when I call ,
O God of my righteousness :
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress ;
have mercy upon me ,
and hear my prayer .
*
O ye sons of men ,
how long will ye turn my glory into shame ?
how long will ye love vanity ,
and seek after leasing ?
Selah .
*
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself :
the LORD will hear when I call unto him .
*
Stand in awe ,
and sin not :
commune with your own heart upon your bed ,
and be still .
Selah .
*
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ,
and put your trust in the LORD .
*
There be many that say ,
Who will shew us any good ?
LORD ,
lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us .
*
Thou hast put gladness in my heart ,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased .
*
I will both lay me down in peace ,
and sleep :
for thou ,
LORD ,
only makest me dwell in safety .
*
Give ear to my words ,
O LORD ,
consider my meditation .
*
Hearken unto the voice of my cry ,
my King ,
and my God :
for unto thee will I pray .
*
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning ,
O LORD ;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee ,
and will look up .
*
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness :
neither shall evil dwell with thee .
*
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight :
thou hatest all workers of iniquity .
*
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing :
the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man .
*
But as for me ,
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy :
and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple .
*
Lead me ,
O LORD ,
in thy righteousness because of mine enemies ;
make thy way straight before my face .
*
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ;
their inward part is very wickedness ;
their throat is an open sepulchre ;
they flatter with their tongue .
*
Destroy thou them ,
O God ;
let them fall by their own counsels ;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions ;
for they have rebelled against thee .
*
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice :
let them ever shout for joy ,
because thou defendest them :
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee .
*
For thou ,
LORD ,
wilt bless the righteous ;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield .
*
O LORD ,
rebuke me not in thine anger ,
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .
*
Have mercy upon me ,
O LORD ;
for I am weak :
O LORD ,
heal me ;
for my bones are vexed .
*
My soul is also sore vexed :
but thou ,
O LORD ,
how long ?
*
Return ,
O LORD ,
deliver my soul :
oh save me for thy mercies '
sake .
*
For in death there is no remembrance of thee :
in the grave who shall give thee thanks ?
*
I am weary with my groaning ;
all the night make I my bed to swim ;
I water my couch with my tears .
*
Mine eye is consumed because of grief ;
it waxeth old because of all mine enemies .
*
Depart from me ,
all ye workers of iniquity ;
for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping .
*
The LORD hath heard my supplication ;
the LORD will receive my prayer .
*
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed :
let them return and be ashamed suddenly .
*
O LORD my God ,
in thee do I put my trust :
save me from all them that persecute me ,
and deliver me :
*
Lest he tear my soul like a lion ,
rending it in pieces ,
while there is none to deliver .
*
O LORD my God ,
if I have done this ;
if there be iniquity in my hands ;
*
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me ; (
yea ,
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy :)
*
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 .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ,
in thine anger ,
lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies :
and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded .
*
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about :
for their sakes therefore return thou on high .
*
The LORD shall judge the people :
judge me ,
O LORD ,
according to my righteousness ,
and according to mine integrity that is in me .
*
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end ;
but establish the just :
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins .
*
My defence is of God ,
which saveth the upright in heart .
*
God judgeth the righteous ,
and God is angry with the wicked every day .
*
If he turn not ,
he will whet his sword ;
he hath bent his bow ,
and made it ready .
*
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death ;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors .
*
Behold ,
he travaileth with iniquity ,
and hath conceived mischief ,
and brought forth falsehood .
*
He made a pit ,
and digged it ,
and is fallen into the ditch which he made .
*
His mischief shall return upon his own head ,
and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate .
*
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness :
and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high .
*
O LORD our Lord ,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth !
who hast set thy glory above the heavens .
*
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies ,
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger .
*
When I consider thy heavens ,
the work of thy fingers ,
the moon and the stars ,
which thou hast ordained ;
*
What is man ,
that thou art mindful of him ?
and the son of man ,
that thou visitest him ?
*
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels ,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour .
*
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands ;
thou hast put all things under his feet :
*
All sheep and oxen ,
yea ,
and the beasts of the field ;
*
The fowl of the air ,
and the fish of the sea ,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas .
*
O LORD our Lord ,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth !
*
I will praise thee ,
O LORD ,
with my whole heart ;
I will shew forth all thy marvellous works .
*
I will be glad and rejoice in thee :
I will sing praise to thy name ,
O thou most High .
*
When mine enemies are turned back ,
they shall fall and perish at thy presence .
*
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause ;
thou satest in the throne judging right .
*
Thou hast rebuked the heathen ,
thou hast destroyed the wicked ,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever .
*
O thou enemy ,
destructions are come to a perpetual end :
and thou hast destroyed cities ;
their memorial is perished with them .
*
But the LORD shall endure for ever :
he hath prepared his throne for judgment .
*
And he shall judge the world in righteousness ,
he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness .
*
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed ,
a refuge in times of trouble .
*
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee :
for thou ,
LORD ,
hast not forsaken them that seek thee .
*
Sing praises to the LORD ,
which dwelleth in Zion :
declare among the people his doings .
*
When he maketh inquisition for blood ,
he remembereth them :
he forgetteth not the cry of the humble .
*
Have mercy upon me ,
O LORD ;
consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me ,
thou that liftest me up from the gates of death :
*
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion :
I will rejoice in thy salvation .
*
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made :
in the net which they hid is their own foot taken .
*
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth :
the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands .
Higgaion .
Selah .
*
The wicked shall be turned into hell ,
and all the nations that forget God .
*
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten :
the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ;
let not man prevail :
let the heathen be judged in thy sight .
*
Put them in fear ,
O LORD :
that the nations may know themselves to be but men .
Selah .
*
Why standest thou afar off ,
O LORD ?
why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble ?
*
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor :
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined .
*
For the wicked boasteth of his heart '
s desire ,
and blesseth the covetous ,
whom the LORD abhorreth .
*
The wicked ,
through the pride of his countenance ,
will not seek after God :
God is not in all his thoughts .
*
His ways are always grievous ;
thy judgments are far above out of his sight :
as for all his enemies ,
he puffeth at them .
*
He hath said in his heart ,
I shall not be moved :
for I shall never be in adversity .
*
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud :
under his tongue is mischief and vanity .
*
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages :
in the secret places doth he murder the innocent :
his eyes are privily set against the poor .
*
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den :
he lieth in wait to catch the poor :
he doth catch the poor ,
when he draweth him into his net .
*
He croucheth ,
and humbleth himself ,
that the poor may fall by his strong ones .
*
He hath said in his heart ,
God hath forgotten :
he hideth his face ;
he will never see it .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ;
O God ,
lift up thine hand :
forget not the humble .
*
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God ?
he hath said in his heart ,
Thou wilt not require it .
*
Thou hast seen it ;
for thou beholdest mischief and spite ,
to requite it with thy hand :
the poor committeth himself unto thee ;
thou art the helper of the fatherless .
*
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man :
seek out his wickedness till thou find none .
*
The LORD is King for ever and ever :
the heathen are perished out of his land .
*
LORD ,
thou hast heard the desire of the humble :
thou wilt prepare their heart ,
thou wilt cause thine ear to hear :
*
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed ,
that the man of the earth may no more oppress .
*
In the LORD put I my trust :
how say ye to my soul ,
Flee as a bird to your mountain ?
*
For ,
lo ,
the wicked bend their bow ,
they make ready their arrow upon the string ,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart .
*
If the foundations be destroyed ,
what can the righteous do ?
*
The LORD is in his holy temple ,
the LORD '
S throne is in heaven :
his eyes behold ,
his eyelids try ,
the children of men .
*
The LORD trieth the righteous :
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth .
*
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares ,
fire and brimstone ,
and an horrible tempest :
this shall be the portion of their cup .
*
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness ;
his countenance doth behold the upright .
*
Help ,
LORD ;
for the godly man ceaseth ;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men .
*
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour :
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak .
*
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips ,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things :
*
Who have said ,
With our tongue will we prevail ;
our lips are our own :
who is lord over us ?
*
For the oppression of the poor ,
for the sighing of the needy ,
now will I arise ,
saith the LORD ;
I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him .
*
The words of the LORD are pure words :
as silver tried in a furnace of earth ,
purified seven times .
*
Thou shalt keep them ,
O LORD ,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever .
*
The wicked walk on every side ,
when the vilest men are exalted .
*
How long wilt thou forget me ,
O LORD ?
for ever ?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me ?
*
How long shall I take counsel in my soul ,
having sorrow in my heart daily ?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me ?
*
Consider and hear me ,
O LORD my God :
lighten mine eyes ,
lest I sleep the sleep of death ;
*
Lest mine enemy say ,
I have prevailed against him ;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved .
*
But I have trusted in thy mercy ;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation .
*
I will sing unto the LORD ,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me .
*
The fool hath said in his heart ,
There is no God .
They are corrupt ,
they have done abominable works ,
there is none that doeth good .
*
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men ,
to see if there were any that did understand ,
and seek God .
*
They are all gone aside ,
they are all together become filthy :
there is none that doeth good ,
no ,
not one .
*
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge ?
who eat up my people as they eat bread ,
and call not upon the LORD .
*
There were they in great fear :
for God is in the generation of the righteous .
*
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor ,
because the LORD is his refuge .
*
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion !
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people ,
Jacob shall rejoice ,
and Israel shall be glad .
*
LORD ,
who shall abide in thy tabernacle ?
who shall dwell in thy holy hill ?
*
He that walketh uprightly ,
and worketh righteousness ,
and speaketh the truth in his heart .
*
He that backbiteth not with his tongue ,
nor doeth evil to his neighbour ,
nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour .
*
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned ;
but he honoureth them that fear the LORD .
He that sweareth to his own hurt ,
and changeth not .
*
He that putteth not out his money to usury ,
nor taketh reward against the innocent .
He that doeth these things shall never be moved .
*
Preserve me ,
O God :
for in thee do I put my trust .
