* O give thanks to the LORD , for he is good : for his mercy endures for ever . * Let the redeemed of the LORD say so , whom he has 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 to 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 satisfies the longing soul , and fills 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 labor ; they fell down , and there was none to help . * Then they cried to 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 broke 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 has 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 abhors all manner of meat ; and they draw near to the gates of death . * Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble , and he saves 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 commands , and raises the stormy wind , which lifts 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 wit ' end . * Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble , and he brings them out of their distresses . * He makes the storm a calm , so that the waves thereof are still . * Then are they glad because they be quiet ; so he brings them to 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 turns rivers into a wilderness , and the springs into dry ground ; * A fruitful land into barrenness , for the wickedness of them that dwell therein . * He turns the wilderness into a standing water , and dry ground into springs . * And there he makes 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 blesses them also , so that they are multiplied greatly ; and suffers not their cattle to decrease . * Again , they are diminished and brought low through oppression , affliction , and sorrow . * He pours contempt on princes , and causes them to wander in the wilderness , where there is no way . * Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction , and makes him families like a flock . * The righteous shall see it , and rejoice : and all iniquity shall stop her mouth . * Whoever is wise , and will observe these things , even they shall understand the loving kindness 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 you , O LORD , among the people : and I will sing praises to you among the nations . * For your mercy is great above the heavens : and your truth reaches to the clouds . * Be you exalted , O God , above the heavens : and your glory above all the earth ; * That your beloved may be delivered : save with your right hand , and answer me . * God has 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 my head ; Judah is my lawgiver ; * Moab is my wash pot ; 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 ? * Will not you , O God , who have cast us off ? and will not you , 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 your 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 to prayer . * And they have rewarded me evil for good , and hatred for my love . * Set you 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 extortionist catch all that he has ; and let the strangers spoil his labor . * Let there be none to extend mercy to him : neither let there be any to favor 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 show 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 to 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 to him as the garment which covers him , and for a girdle with which he is girded continually . * Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD , and of them that speak evil against my soul . * But do you for me , O GOD the Lord , for your name ' sake : because your mercy is good , deliver you me . * For I am poor and needy , and my heart is wounded within me . * I am gone like the shadow when it declines : I am tossed up and down as the locust . * My knees are weak through fasting ; and my flesh fails of fatness . * I became also a reproach to them : when they looked on me they shook their heads . * Help me , O LORD my God : O save me according to your mercy : * That they may know that this is your hand ; that you , LORD , have done it . * Let them curse , but bless you : when they arise , let them be ashamed ; but let your servant rejoice . * Let my 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 ; yes , 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 to my Lord , Sit you at my right hand , until I make your enemies your footstool . * The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion : rule you in the middle of your enemies . * 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 . * The LORD has sworn , and will not repent , You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek . * The Lord at your 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 you 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 honorable and glorious : and his righteousness endures for ever . * He has made his wonderful works to be remembered : the LORD is gracious and full of compassion . * He has given meat to them that fear him : he will ever be mindful of his covenant . * He has showed 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 to his people : he has 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 endures for ever . * Praise you the LORD . Blessed is the man that fears the LORD , that delights greatly in his commandments . * His seed shall be mighty on earth : the generation of the upright shall be blessed . * Wealth and riches shall be in his house : and his righteousness endures for ever . * To the upright there rises light in the darkness : he is gracious , and full of compassion , and righteous . * A good man shows favor , and lends : he will guide his affairs with discretion . * Surely he shall not be moved for ever : the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance . * He shall not be afraid of evil tidings : his heart is fixed , trusting in the LORD . * His heart is established , he shall not be afraid , until he see his desire on his enemies . * He has dispersed , he has given to the poor ; his righteousness endures for ever ; his horn shall be exalted with honor . * The wicked shall see it , and be grieved ; he shall gnash with his teeth , and melt away : the desire of the wicked shall perish . * Praise you the LORD . Praise , O you servants of the LORD , praise the name of the LORD . * Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever more . * From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD ' name is to be praised . * The LORD is high above all nations , and his glory above the heavens . * Who is like to the LORD our God , who dwells on high , * Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven , and in the earth ! * He raises up the poor out of the dust , and lifts the needy out of the dunghill ; * That he may set him with princes , even with the princes of his people . * He makes the barren woman to keep house , and to be a joyful mother of children . Praise you the LORD . * When Israel went out of Egypt , the house of Jacob from a people of strange language ; * Judah was his sanctuary , and Israel his dominion . * The sea saw it , and fled : Jordan was driven back . * The mountains skipped like rams , and the little hills like lambs . * What ailed you , O you sea , that you fled ? you Jordan , that you were driven back ? * You mountains , that you skipped like rams ; and you little hills , like lambs ? * Tremble , you earth , at the presence of the Lord , at the presence of the God of Jacob ; * Which turned the rock into a standing water , the flint into a fountain of waters . * Not to us , O LORD , not to us , but to your name give glory , for your mercy , and for your truth ' sake . * Why should the heathen say , Where is now their God ? * But our God is in the heavens : he has done whatever he has pleased . * Their idols are silver and gold , the work of men ' hands . * They have mouths , but they speak not : eyes have they , but they see not : * They have ears , but they hear not : noses have they , but they smell not : * They have hands , but they handle not : feet have they , but they walk not : neither speak they through their throat . * They that make them are like to them ; so is every one that trusts in them . * O Israel , trust you in the LORD : he is their help and their shield . * O house of Aaron , trust in the LORD : he is their help and their shield . * You that fear the LORD , trust in the LORD : he is their help and their shield . * The LORD has been mindful of us : he will bless us ; he will bless the house of Israel ; he will bless the house of Aaron . * He will bless them that fear the LORD , both small and great . * The LORD shall increase you more and more , you and your children . * You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth . * The heaven , even the heavens , are the LORD ': but the earth has he given to the children of men . * The dead praise not the LORD , neither any that go down into silence . * But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever more . Praise the LORD . * I love the LORD , because he has heard my voice and my supplications .
