Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 :

*
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 .
*
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense ;
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice .
*
Set a watch ,
O LORD ,
before my mouth ;
keep the door of my lips .
*
Incline not my heart to any evil thing ,
to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity :
and let me not eat of their dainties .
*
Let the righteous smite 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 .
*
When their judges are overthrown in stony places ,
they shall hear my words ;
for they are sweet .
*
Our bones are scattered at the grave '
s mouth ,
as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth .
*
But mine eyes are unto thee ,
O GOD the Lord :
in thee is my trust ;
leave not my soul destitute .
*
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me ,
and the gins of the workers of iniquity .
*
Let the wicked fall into their own nets ,
whilst that I withal escape .
*
I cried unto the LORD with my voice ;
with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication .
*
I poured out my complaint before him ;
I shewed before him my trouble .
*
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me ,
then thou knewest my path .
In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me .
*
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 .
*
I cried unto thee ,
O LORD :
I said ,
Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living .
*
Attend unto my cry ;
for I am brought very low :
deliver me from my persecutors ;
for they are stronger than I .
*
Bring my soul out of prison ,
that I may praise thy name :
the righteous shall compass me about ;
for thou shalt deal bountifully with me .
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
give ear to my supplications :
in thy faithfulness answer me ,
and in thy righteousness .
*
And enter not into judgment with thy servant :
for in thy sight shall no man living be justified .
*
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul ;
he hath smitten my life down to the ground ;
he hath made me to dwell in darkness ,
as those that have been long dead .
*
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me ;
my heart within me is desolate .
*
I remember the days of old ;
I meditate on all thy works ;
I muse on the work of thy hands .
*
I stretch forth my hands unto thee :
my soul thirsteth after thee ,
as a thirsty land .
Selah .
*
Hear me speedily ,
O LORD :
my spirit faileth :
hide not thy face from me ,
lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit .
*
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning ;
for in thee do I trust :
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk ;
for I lift up my soul unto thee .
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from mine enemies :
I flee unto thee to hide me .
*
Teach me to do thy will ;
for thou art my God :
thy spirit is good ;
lead me into the land of uprightness .
*
Quicken me ,
O LORD ,
for thy name '
s sake :
for thy righteousness '
sake bring my soul out of trouble .
*
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies ,
and destroy all them that afflict my soul :
for I am thy servant .
*
Blessed be the LORD my strength ,
which teacheth my hands to war ,
and my fingers to fight :
*
My goodness ,
and my fortress ;
my high tower ,
and my deliverer ;
my shield ,
and he in whom I trust ;
who subdueth my people under me .
*
LORD ,
what is man ,
that thou takest knowledge of him !
or the son of man ,
that thou makest account of him !
*
Man is like to vanity :
his days are as a shadow that passeth away .
*
Bow thy heavens ,
O LORD ,
and come down :
touch the mountains ,
and they shall smoke .
*
Cast forth lightning ,
and scatter them :
shoot out thine arrows ,
and destroy them .
*
Send thine hand from above ;
rid me ,
and deliver me out of great waters ,
from the hand of strange children ;
*
Whose mouth speaketh vanity ,
and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood .
*
I will sing a new song unto thee ,
O God :
upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee .
*
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings :
who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword .
*
Rid me ,
and deliver me from the hand of strange children ,
whose mouth speaketh vanity ,
and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood :
*
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth ;
that our daughters may be as corner stones ,
polished after the similitude of a palace :
*
That our garners may be full ,
affording all manner of store :
that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets :
*
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 .
*
Happy is that people ,
that is in such a case :
yea ,
happy is that people ,
whose God is the LORD .
*
I will extol thee ,
my God ,
O king ;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever .
*
Every day will I bless thee ;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever .
*
Great is the LORD ,
and greatly to be praised ;
and his greatness is unsearchable .
*
One generation shall praise thy works to another ,
and shall declare thy mighty acts .
*
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty ,
and of thy wondrous works .
*
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts :
and I will declare thy greatness .
*
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness ,
and shall sing of thy righteousness .
*
The LORD is gracious ,
and full of compassion ;
slow to anger ,
and of great mercy .
*
The LORD is good to all :
and his tender mercies are over all his works .
*
All thy works shall praise thee ,
O LORD ;
and thy saints shall bless thee .
*
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom ,
and talk of thy power ;
*
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts ,
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom .
*
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations .
*
The LORD upholdeth all that fall ,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down .
*
The eyes of all wait upon thee ;
and thou givest them their meat in due season .
*
Thou openest thine hand ,
and satisfiest the desire of every living thing .
*
The LORD is righteous in all his ways ,
and holy in all his works .
*
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him ,
to all that call upon him in truth .
*
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him :
he also will hear their cry ,
and will save them .
*
The LORD preserveth all them that love him :
but all the wicked will he destroy .
*
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD :
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Praise the LORD ,
O my soul .
*
While I live will I praise the LORD :
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being .
*
Put not your trust in princes ,
nor in the son of man ,
in whom there is no help .
*
His breath goeth forth ,
he returneth to his earth ;
in that very day his thoughts perish .
*
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help ,
whose hope is in the LORD his God :
*
Which made heaven ,
and earth ,
the sea ,
and all that therein is :
which keepeth truth for ever :
*
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed :
which giveth food to the hungry .
The LORD looseth the prisoners :
*
The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind :
the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down :
the LORD loveth the righteous :
*
The LORD preserveth the strangers ;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow :
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down .
*
The LORD shall reign for ever ,
even thy God ,
O Zion ,
unto all generations .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
Praise ye the LORD :
for it is good to sing praises unto our God ;
for it is pleasant ;
and praise is comely .
*
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem :
he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel .
*
He healeth the broken in heart ,
and bindeth up their wounds .
*
He telleth the number of the stars ;
he calleth them all by their names .
*
Great is our Lord ,
and of great power :
his understanding is infinite .
*
The LORD lifteth up the meek :
he casteth the wicked down to the ground .
*
Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving ;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God :
*
Who covereth the heaven with clouds ,
who prepareth rain for the earth ,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains .
*
He giveth to the beast his food ,
and to the young ravens which cry .
*
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse :
he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man .
*
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him ,
in those that hope in his mercy .
*
Praise the LORD ,
O Jerusalem ;
praise thy God ,
O Zion .
*
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates ;
he hath blessed thy children within thee .
*
He maketh peace in thy borders ,
and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat .
*
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth :
his word runneth very swiftly .
*
He giveth snow like wool :
he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes .
*
He casteth forth his ice like morsels :
who can stand before his cold ?
*
He sendeth out his word ,
and melteth them :
he causeth his wind to blow ,
and the waters flow .
*
He sheweth his word unto Jacob ,
his statutes and his judgments unto Israel .
*
He hath not dealt so with any nation :
and as for his judgments ,
they have not known them .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Praise ye the LORD from the heavens :
praise him in the heights .
*
Praise ye him ,
all his angels :
praise ye him ,
all his hosts .
*
Praise ye him ,
sun and moon :
praise him ,
all ye stars of light .
*
Praise him ,
ye heavens of heavens ,
and ye waters that be above the heavens .
*
Let them praise the name of the LORD :
for he commanded ,
and they were created .
*
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever :
he hath made a decree which shall not pass .
*
Praise the LORD from the earth ,
ye dragons ,
and all deeps :
*
Fire ,
and hail ;
snow ,
and vapour ;
stormy wind fulfilling his word :
*
Mountains ,
and all hills ;
fruitful trees ,
and all cedars :
*
Beasts ,
and all cattle ;
creeping things ,
and flying fowl :
*
Kings of the earth ,
and all people ;
princes ,
and all judges of the earth :
*
Both young men ,
and maidens ;
old men ,
and children :
*
Let them praise the name of the LORD :
for his name alone is excellent ;
his glory is above the earth and heaven .
*
He also exalteth the horn of his people ,
the praise of all his saints ;
even of the children of Israel ,
a people near unto him .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Sing unto the LORD a new song ,
and his praise in the congregation of saints .
*
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him :
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King .
*
Let them praise his name in the dance :
let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp .
*
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people :
he will beautify the meek with salvation .
*
Let the saints be joyful in glory :
let them sing aloud upon their beds .
*
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth ,
and a twoedged sword in their hand ;
*
To execute vengeance upon the heathen ,
and punishments upon the people ;
*
To bind their kings with chains ,
and their nobles with fetters of iron ;
*
To execute upon them the judgment written :
this honour have all his saints .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Praise God in his sanctuary :
praise him in the firmament of his power .
*
Praise him for his mighty acts :
praise him according to his excellent greatness .
*
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet :
praise him with the psaltery and harp .
*
Praise him with the timbrel and dance :
praise him with stringed instruments and organs .
*
Praise him upon the loud cymbals :
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals .
*
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms ,
The LORD said unto my Lord ,
Sit thou on my right hand ,
*
For it is written in the book of Psalms ,
Let his habitation be desolate ,
and let no man dwell therein :
and his bishoprick let another take .
