Psalms:107-111
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ,
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so ,
whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy ;
*
And gathered them out of the lands ,
from the east ,
and from the west ,
from the north ,
and from the south .
*
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way ;
they found no city to dwell in .
*
Hungry and thirsty ,
their soul fainted in them .
*
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he delivered them out of their distresses .
*
And he led them forth by the right way ,
that they might go to a city of habitation .
*
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness ,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !
*
For he satisfieth the longing soul ,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness .
*
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death ,
being bound in affliction and iron ;
*
Because they rebelled against the words of God ,
and contemned the counsel of the most High :
*
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour ;
they fell down ,
and there was none to help .
*
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he saved them out of their distresses .
*
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death ,
and brake their bands in sunder .
*
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness ,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !
*
For he hath broken the gates of brass ,
and cut the bars of iron in sunder .
*
Fools because of their transgression ,
and because of their iniquities ,
are afflicted .
*
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat ;
and they draw near unto the gates of death .
*
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he saveth them out of their distresses .
*
He sent his word ,
and healed them ,
and delivered them from their destructions .
*
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness ,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !
*
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving ,
and declare his works with rejoicing .
*
They that go down to the sea in ships ,
that do business in great waters ;
*
These see the works of the LORD ,
and his wonders in the deep .
*
For he commandeth ,
and raiseth the stormy wind ,
which lifteth up the waves thereof .
*
They mount up to the heaven ,
they go down again to the depths :
their soul is melted because of trouble .
*
They reel to and fro ,
and stagger like a drunken man ,
and are at their wits '
end .
*
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he bringeth them out of their distresses .
*
He maketh the storm a calm ,
so that the waves thereof are still .
*
Then are they glad because they be quiet ;
so he bringeth them unto their desired haven .
*
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness ,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !
*
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people ,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders .
*
He turneth rivers into a wilderness ,
and the watersprings into dry ground ;
*
A fruitful land into barrenness ,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein .
*
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water ,
and dry ground into watersprings .
*
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell ,
that they may prepare a city for habitation ;
*
And sow the fields ,
and plant vineyards ,
which may yield fruits of increase .
*
He blesseth them also ,
so that they are multiplied greatly ;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease .
*
Again ,
they are minished and brought low through oppression ,
affliction ,
and sorrow .
*
He poureth contempt upon princes ,
and causeth them to wander in the wilderness ,
where there is no way .
*
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction ,
and maketh him families like a flock .
*
The righteous shall see it ,
and rejoice :
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth .
*
Whoso is wise ,
and will observe these things ,
even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD .
*
O God ,
my heart is fixed ;
I will sing and give praise ,
even with my glory .
*
Awake ,
psaltery and harp :
I myself will awake early .
*
I will praise thee ,
O LORD ,
among the people :
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations .
*
For thy mercy is great above the heavens :
and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds .
*
Be thou exalted ,
O God ,
above the heavens :
and thy glory above all the earth ;
*
That thy beloved may be delivered :
save with thy right hand ,
and answer me .
*
God hath spoken in his holiness ;
I will rejoice ,
I will divide Shechem ,
and mete out the valley of Succoth .
*
Gilead is mine ;
Manasseh is mine ;
Ephraim also is the strength of mine head ;
Judah is my lawgiver ;
*
Moab is my washpot ;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe ;
over Philistia will I triumph .
*
Who will bring me into the strong city ?
who will lead me into Edom ?
*
Wilt not thou ,
O God ,
who hast cast us off ?
and wilt not thou ,
O God ,
go forth with our hosts ?
*
Give us help from trouble :
for vain is the help of man .
*
Through God we shall do valiantly :
for he it is that shall tread down our enemies .
*
Hold not thy peace ,
O God of my praise ;
*
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 .
*
They compassed me about also with words of hatred ;
and fought against me without a cause .
*
For my love they are my adversaries :
but I give myself unto prayer .
*
And they have rewarded me evil for good ,
and hatred for my love .
*
Set thou a wicked man over him :
and let Satan stand at his right hand .
*
When he shall be judged ,
let him be condemned :
and let his prayer become sin .
*
Let his days be few ;
and let another take his office .
*
Let his children be fatherless ,
and his wife a widow .
*
Let his children be continually vagabonds ,
and beg :
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places .
*
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath ;
and let the strangers spoil his labour .
*
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him :
neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children .
*
Let his posterity be cut off ;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out .
*
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD ;
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out .
*
Let them be before the LORD continually ,
that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth .
*
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy ,
but persecuted the poor and needy man ,
that he might even slay the broken in heart .
*
As he loved cursing ,
so let it come unto him :
as he delighted not in blessing ,
so let it be far from him .
*
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment ,
so let it come into his bowels like water ,
and like oil into his bones .
*
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him ,
and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually .
*
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD ,
and of them that speak evil against my soul .
*
But do thou for me ,
O GOD the Lord ,
for thy name '
s sake :
because thy mercy is good ,
deliver thou me .
*
For I am poor and needy ,
and my heart is wounded within me .
*
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth :
I am tossed up and down as the locust .
*
My knees are weak through fasting ;
and my flesh faileth of fatness .
*
I became also a reproach unto them :
when they looked upon me they shaked their heads .
*
Help me ,
O LORD my God :
O save me according to thy mercy :
*
That they may know that this is thy hand ;
that thou ,
LORD ,
hast done it .
*
Let them curse ,
but bless thou :
when they arise ,
let them be ashamed ;
but let thy servant rejoice .
*
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame ,
and let them cover themselves with their own confusion ,
as with a mantle .
*
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth ;
yea ,
I will praise him among the multitude .
*
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor ,
to save him from those that condemn his soul .
*
The LORD said unto my Lord ,
Sit thou at my right hand ,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool .
*
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion :
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies .
*
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power ,
in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning :
thou hast the dew of thy youth .
*
The LORD hath sworn ,
and will not repent ,
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek .
*
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath .
*
He shall judge among the heathen ,
he shall fill the places with the dead bodies ;
he shall wound the heads over many countries .
*
He shall drink of the brook in the way :
therefore shall he lift up the head .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart ,
in the assembly of the upright ,
and in the congregation .
*
The works of the LORD are great ,
sought out of all them that have pleasure therein .
*
His work is honourable and glorious :
and his righteousness endureth for ever .
*
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered :
the LORD is gracious and full of compassion .
*
He hath given meat unto them that fear him :
he will ever be mindful of his covenant .
*
He hath shewed his people the power of his works ,
that he may give them the heritage of the heathen .
*
The works of his hands are verity and judgment ;
all his commandments are sure .
*
They stand fast for ever and ever ,
and are done in truth and uprightness .
*
He sent redemption unto his people :
he hath commanded his covenant for ever :
holy and reverend is his name .
*
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom :
a good understanding have all they that do his commandments :
his praise endureth for ever .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD ,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments .
