Psalms:134-140
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
bless ye the LORD ,
all ye servants of the LORD ,
which by night stand in the house of the LORD .
*
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary ,
and bless the LORD .
*
The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Praise ye the name of the LORD ;
praise him ,
O ye servants of the LORD .
*
Ye that stand in the house of the LORD ,
in the courts of the house of our God ,
*
Praise the LORD ;
for the LORD is good :
sing praises unto his name ;
for it is pleasant .
*
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself ,
and Israel for his peculiar treasure .
*
For I know that the LORD is great ,
and that our Lord is above all gods .
*
Whatsoever the LORD pleased ,
that did he in heaven ,
and in earth ,
in the seas ,
and all deep places .
*
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth ;
he maketh lightnings for the rain ;
he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries .
*
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt ,
both of man and beast .
*
Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee ,
O Egypt ,
upon Pharaoh ,
and upon all his servants .
*
Who smote great nations ,
and slew mighty kings ;
*
Sihon king of the Amorites ,
and Og king of Bashan ,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan :
*
And gave their land for an heritage ,
an heritage unto Israel his people .
*
Thy name ,
O LORD ,
endureth for ever ;
and thy memorial ,
O LORD ,
throughout all generations .
*
For the LORD will judge his people ,
and he will repent himself concerning his servants .
*
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold ,
the work of men '
s hands .
*
They have mouths ,
but they speak not ;
eyes have they ,
but they see not ;
*
They have ears ,
but they hear not ;
neither is there any breath in their mouths .
*
They that make them are like unto them :
so is every one that trusteth in them .
*
Bless the LORD ,
O house of Israel :
bless the LORD ,
O house of Aaron :
*
Bless the LORD ,
O house of Levi :
ye that fear the LORD ,
bless the LORD .
*
Blessed be the LORD out of Zion ,
which dwelleth at Jerusalem .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
O give thanks unto the God of gods :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
O give thanks to the Lord of lords :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him who alone doeth great wonders :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him that by wisdom made the heavens :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him that made great lights :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
The sun to rule by day :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
The moon and stars to rule by night :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And brought out Israel from among them :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
With a strong hand ,
and with a stretched out arm :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him which divided the Red sea into parts :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him which led his people through the wilderness :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
To him which smote great kings :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And slew famous kings :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
Sihon king of the Amorites :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And Og the king of Bashan :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And gave their land for an heritage :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
Even an heritage unto Israel his servant :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Who remembered us in our low estate :
for his mercy endureth for ever :
*
And hath redeemed us from our enemies :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Who giveth food to all flesh :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
O give thanks unto the God of heaven :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
By the rivers of Babylon ,
there we sat down ,
yea ,
we wept ,
when we remembered Zion .
*
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof .
*
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song ;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth ,
saying ,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion .
*
How shall we sing the LORD '
S song in a strange land ?
*
If I forget thee ,
O Jerusalem ,
let my right hand forget her cunning .
*
If I do not remember thee ,
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy .
*
Remember ,
O LORD ,
the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem ;
who said ,
Rase it ,
rase it ,
even to the foundation thereof .
*
O daughter of Babylon ,
who art to be destroyed ;
happy shall he be ,
that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us .
*
Happy shall he be ,
that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones .
*
I will praise thee with my whole heart :
before the gods will I sing praise unto thee .
*
I will worship toward thy holy temple ,
and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth :
for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name .
*
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me ,
and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul .
*
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee ,
O LORD ,
when they hear the words of thy mouth .
*
Yea ,
they shall sing in the ways of the LORD :
for great is the glory of the LORD .
*
Though the LORD be high ,
yet hath he respect unto the lowly :
but the proud he knoweth afar off .
*
Though I walk in the midst of trouble ,
thou wilt revive me :
thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies ,
and thy right hand shall save me .
*
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me :
thy mercy ,
O LORD ,
endureth for ever :
forsake not the works of thine own hands .
*
O LORD ,
thou hast searched me ,
and known me .
*
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising ,
thou understandest my thought afar off .
*
Thou compassest my path and my lying down ,
and art acquainted with all my ways .
*
For there is not a word in my tongue ,
but ,
lo ,
O LORD ,
thou knowest it altogether .
*
Thou hast beset me behind and before ,
and laid thine hand upon me .
*
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ;
it is high ,
I cannot attain unto it .
*
Whither shall I go from thy spirit ?
or whither shall I flee from thy presence ?
*
If I ascend up into heaven ,
thou art there :
if I make my bed in hell ,
behold ,
thou art there .
*
If I take the wings of the morning ,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ;
*
Even there shall thy hand lead me ,
and thy right hand shall hold me .
*
If I say ,
Surely the darkness shall cover me ;
even the night shall be light about me .
*
Yea ,
the darkness hideth not from thee ;
but the night shineth as the day :
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee .
*
For thou hast possessed my reins :
thou hast covered me in my mother '
s womb .
*
I will praise thee ;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made :
marvellous are thy works ;
and that my soul knoweth right well .
*
My substance was not hid from thee ,
when I was made in secret ,
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth .
*
Thine eyes did see my substance ,
yet being unperfect ;
and in thy book all my members were written ,
which in continuance were fashioned ,
when as yet there was none of them .
*
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me ,
O God !
how great is the sum of them !
*
If I should count them ,
they are more in number than the sand :
when I awake ,
I am still with thee .
*
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked ,
O God :
depart from me therefore ,
ye bloody men .
*
For they speak against thee wickedly ,
and thine enemies take thy name in vain .
*
Do not I hate them ,
O LORD ,
that hate thee ?
and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee ?
*
I hate them with perfect hatred :
I count them mine enemies .
*
Search me ,
O God ,
and know my heart :
try me ,
and know my thoughts :
*
And see if there be any wicked way in me ,
and lead me in the way everlasting .
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from the evil man :
preserve me from the violent man ;
*
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart ;
continually are they gathered together for war .
*
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent ;
adders '
poison is under their lips .
Selah .
*
Keep me ,
O LORD ,
from the hands of the wicked ;
preserve me from the violent man ;
who have purposed to overthrow my goings .
*
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 .
*
I said unto the LORD ,
Thou art my God :
hear the voice of my supplications ,
O LORD .
*
O GOD the Lord ,
the strength of my salvation ,
thou hast covered my head in the day of battle .
*
Grant not ,
O LORD ,
the desires of the wicked :
further not his wicked device ;
lest they exalt themselves .
Selah .
*
As for the head of those that compass me about ,
let the mischief of their own lips cover them .
*
Let burning coals fall upon them :
let them be cast into the fire ;
into deep pits ,
that they rise not up again .
*
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth :
evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him .
*
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted ,
and the right of the poor .
*
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name :
the upright shall dwell in thy presence .
*
LORD ,
I cry unto thee :
make haste unto me ;
give ear unto my voice ,
when I cry unto thee .
