Psalms:20-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble ;
the name of the God of Jacob defend thee ;
*
Send thee help from the sanctuary ,
and strengthen thee out of Zion ;
*
Remember all thy offerings ,
and accept thy burnt sacrifice ;
Selah .
*
Grant thee according to thine own heart ,
and fulfil all thy counsel .
*
We will rejoice in thy salvation ,
and in the name of our God we will set up our banners :
the LORD fulfil all thy petitions .
*
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed ;
he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand .
*
Some trust in chariots ,
and some in horses :
but we will remember the name of the LORD our God .
*
They are brought down and fallen :
but we are risen ,
and stand upright .
*
Save ,
LORD :
let the king hear us when we call .
*
The king shall joy in thy strength ,
O LORD ;
and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice !
*
Thou hast given him his heart '
s desire ,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips .
Selah .
*
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness :
thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head .
*
He asked life of thee ,
and thou gavest it him ,
even length of days for ever and ever .
*
His glory is great in thy salvation :
honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him .
*
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever :
thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance .
*
For the king trusteth in the LORD ,
and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved .
*
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies :
thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee .
*
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger :
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath ,
and the fire shall devour them .
*
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth ,
and their seed from among the children of men .
*
For they intended evil against thee :
they imagined a mischievous device ,
which they are not able to perform .
*
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back ,
when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them .
*
Be thou exalted ,
LORD ,
in thine own strength :
so will we sing and praise thy power .
*
My God ,
my God ,
why hast thou forsaken me ?
why art thou so far from helping me ,
and from the words of my roaring ?
*
O my God ,
I cry in the daytime ,
but thou hearest not ;
and in the night season ,
and am not silent .
*
But thou art holy ,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel .
*
Our fathers trusted in thee :
they trusted ,
and thou didst deliver them .
*
They cried unto thee ,
and were delivered :
they trusted in thee ,
and were not confounded .
*
But I am a worm ,
and no man ;
a reproach of men ,
and despised of the people .
*
All they that see me laugh me to scorn :
they shoot out the lip ,
they shake the head ,
saying ,
*
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him :
let him deliver him ,
seeing he delighted in him .
*
But thou art he that took me out of the womb :
thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother '
s breasts .
*
I was cast upon thee from the womb :
thou art my God from my mother '
s belly .
*
Be not far from me ;
for trouble is near ;
for there is none to help .
*
Many bulls have compassed me :
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round .
*
They gaped upon me with their mouths ,
as a ravening and a roaring lion .
*
I am poured out like water ,
and all my bones are out of joint :
my heart is like wax ;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels .
*
My strength is dried up like a potsherd ;
and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws ;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death .
*
For dogs have compassed me :
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me :
they pierced my hands and my feet .
*
I may tell all my bones :
they look and stare upon me .
*
They part my garments among them ,
and cast lots upon my vesture .
*
But be not thou far from me ,
O LORD :
O my strength ,
haste thee to help me .
*
Deliver my soul from the sword ;
my darling from the power of the dog .
*
Save me from the lion '
s mouth :
for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns .
*
I will declare thy name unto my brethren :
in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee .
*
Ye that fear the LORD ,
praise him ;
all ye the seed of Jacob ,
glorify him ;
and fear him ,
all ye the seed of Israel .
*
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted ;
neither hath he hid his face from him ;
but when he cried unto him ,
he heard .
*
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation :
I will pay my vows before them that fear him .
*
The meek shall eat and be satisfied :
they shall praise the LORD that seek him :
your heart shall live for ever .
*
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD :
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee .
*
For the kingdom is the LORD '
S :
and he is the governor among the nations .
*
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship :
all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him :
and none can keep alive his own soul .
*
A seed shall serve him ;
it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation .
*
They shall come ,
and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born ,
that he hath done this .
*
The LORD is my shepherd ;
I shall not want .
*
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures :
he leadeth me beside the still waters .
*
He restoreth my soul :
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name '
s sake .
*
Yea ,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ,
I will fear no evil :
for thou art with me ;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me .
*
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies :
thou anointest my head with oil ;
my cup runneth over .
*
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life :
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever .
*
The earth is the LORD '
S ,
and the fulness thereof ;
the world ,
and they that dwell therein .
*
For he hath founded it upon the seas ,
and established it upon the floods .
*
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD ?
or who shall stand in his holy place ?
*
He that hath clean hands ,
and a pure heart ;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity ,
nor sworn deceitfully .
*
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD ,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation .
*
This is the generation of them that seek him ,
that seek thy face ,
O Jacob .
Selah .
*
Lift up your heads ,
O ye gates ;
and be ye lift up ,
ye everlasting doors ;
and the King of glory shall come in .
*
Who is this King of glory ?
The LORD strong and mighty ,
the LORD mighty in battle .
*
Lift up your heads ,
O ye gates ;
even lift them up ,
ye everlasting doors ;
and the King of glory shall come in .
*
Who is this King of glory ?
The LORD of hosts ,
he is the King of glory .
Selah .
*
Unto thee ,
O LORD ,
do I lift up my soul .
*
O my God ,
I trust in thee :
let me not be ashamed ,
let not mine enemies triumph over me .
*
Yea ,
let none that wait on thee be ashamed :
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause .
*
Shew me thy ways ,
O LORD ;
teach me thy paths .
*
Lead me in thy truth ,
and teach me :
for thou art the God of my salvation ;
on thee do I wait all the day .
*
Remember ,
O LORD ,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses ;
for they have been ever of old .
*
Remember not the sins of my youth ,
nor my transgressions :
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness '
sake ,
O LORD .
*
Good and upright is the LORD :
therefore will he teach sinners in the way .
*
The meek will he guide in judgment :
and the meek will he teach his way .
*
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies .
*
For thy name '
s sake ,
O LORD ,
pardon mine iniquity ;
for it is great .
*
What man is he that feareth the LORD ?
him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose .
*
His soul shall dwell at ease ;
and his seed shall inherit the earth .
*
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him ;
and he will shew them his covenant .
*
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD ;
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net .
*
Turn thee unto me ,
and have mercy upon me ;
for I am desolate and afflicted .
*
The troubles of my heart are enlarged :
O bring thou me out of my distresses .
*
Look upon mine affliction and my pain ;
and forgive all my sins .
*
Consider mine enemies ;
for they are many ;
and they hate me with cruel hatred .
*
O keep my soul ,
and deliver me :
let me not be ashamed ;
for I put my trust in thee .
*
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me ;
for I wait on thee .
*
Redeem Israel ,
O God ,
out of all his troubles .
*
Judge me ,
O LORD ;
for I have walked in mine integrity :
I have trusted also in the LORD ;
therefore I shall not slide .
*
Examine me ,
O LORD ,
and prove me ;
try my reins and my heart .
*
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes :
and I have walked in thy truth .
*
I have not sat with vain persons ,
neither will I go in with dissemblers .
*
I have hated the congregation of evil doers ;
and will not sit with the wicked .
*
I will wash mine hands in innocency :
so will I compass thine altar ,
O LORD :
*
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving ,
and tell of all thy wondrous works .
*
LORD ,
I have loved the habitation of thy house ,
and the place where thine honour dwelleth .
*
Gather not my soul with sinners ,
nor my life with bloody men :
*
In whose hands is mischief ,
and their right hand is full of bribes .
*
But as for me ,
I will walk in mine integrity :
redeem me ,
and be merciful unto me .
*
My foot standeth in an even place :
in the congregations will I bless the LORD .
*
The LORD is my light and my salvation ;
whom shall I fear ?
the LORD is the strength of my life ;
of whom shall I be afraid ?
*
When the wicked ,
even mine enemies and my foes ,
came upon me to eat up my flesh ,
they stumbled and fell .
*
Though an host should encamp against me ,
my heart shall not fear :
though war should rise against me ,
in this will I be confident .
*
One thing have I desired of the LORD ,
that will I seek after ;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life ,
to behold the beauty of the LORD ,
and to enquire in his temple .
*
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion :
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me ;
he shall set me up upon a rock .
*
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me :
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy ;
I will sing ,
yea ,
I will sing praises unto the LORD .
*
Hear ,
O LORD ,
when I cry with my voice :
have mercy also upon me ,
and answer me .
*
When thou saidst ,
Seek ye my face ;
my heart said unto thee ,
Thy face ,
LORD ,
will I seek .
*
Hide not thy face far from me ;
put not thy servant away in anger :
thou hast been my help ;
leave me not ,
neither forsake me ,
O God of my salvation .
*
When my father and my mother forsake me ,
then the LORD will take me up .
*
Teach me thy way ,
O LORD ,
and lead me in a plain path ,
because of mine enemies .
*
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies :
for false witnesses are risen up against me ,
and such as breathe out cruelty .
*
I had fainted ,
unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living .
*
Wait on the LORD :
be of good courage ,
and he shall strengthen thine heart :
wait ,
I say ,
on the LORD .
*
Unto thee will I cry ,
O LORD my rock ;
be not silent to me :
lest ,
if thou be silent to me ,
I become like them that go down into the pit .
*
Hear the voice of my supplications ,
when I cry unto thee ,
when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle .
*
Draw me not away with the wicked ,
and with the workers of iniquity ,
which speak peace to their neighbours ,
but mischief is in their hearts .
*
Give them according to their deeds ,
and according to the wickedness of their endeavours :
give them after the work of their hands ;
render to them their desert .
*
Because they regard not the works of the LORD ,
nor the operation of his hands ,
he shall destroy them ,
and not build them up .
*
Blessed be the LORD ,
because he hath heard the voice of my supplications .
*
The LORD is my strength and my shield ;
my heart trusted in him ,
and I am helped :
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth ;
and with my song will I praise him .
*
The LORD is their strength ,
and he is the saving strength of his anointed .
*
Save thy people ,
and bless thine inheritance :
feed them also ,
and lift them up for ever .
*
Give unto the LORD ,
O ye mighty ,
give unto the LORD glory and strength .
*
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name ;
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness .
*
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters :
the God of glory thundereth :
the LORD is upon many waters .
*
The voice of the LORD is powerful ;
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty .
*
The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars ;
yea ,
the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon .
*
He maketh them also to skip like a calf ;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn .
*
The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire .
*
The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness ;
the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh .
*
The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve ,
and discovereth the forests :
and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory .
*
The LORD sitteth upon the flood ;
yea ,
the LORD sitteth King for ever .
*
The LORD will give strength unto his people ;
the LORD will bless his people with peace .
*
I will extol thee ,
O LORD ;
for thou hast lifted me up ,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me .
*
O LORD my God ,
I cried unto thee ,
and thou hast healed me .
*
O LORD ,
thou hast brought up my soul from the grave :
thou hast kept me alive ,
that I should not go down to the pit .
*
Sing unto the LORD ,
O ye saints of his ,
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness .
*
For his anger endureth but a moment ;
in his favour is life :
weeping may endure for a night ,
but joy cometh in the morning .
*
And in my prosperity I said ,
I shall never be moved .
*
LORD ,
by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong :
thou didst hide thy face ,
and I was troubled .
*
I cried to thee ,
O LORD ;
and unto the LORD I made supplication .
*
What profit is there in my blood ,
when I go down to the pit ?
Shall the dust praise thee ?
shall it declare thy truth ?
*
Hear ,
O LORD ,
and have mercy upon me :
LORD ,
be thou my helper .
*
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing :
thou hast put off my sackcloth ,
and girded me with gladness ;
*
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee ,
and not be silent .
O LORD my God ,
I will give thanks unto thee for ever .
*
In thee ,
O LORD ,
do I put my trust ;
let me never be ashamed :
deliver me in thy righteousness .
