Psalms:90-106
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Lord ,
thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations .
*
Before the mountains were brought forth ,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world ,
even from everlasting to everlasting ,
thou art God .
*
Thou turnest man to destruction ;
and sayest ,
Return ,
ye children of men .
*
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past ,
and as a watch in the night .
*
Thou carriest them away as with a flood ;
they are as a sleep :
in the morning they are like grass which groweth up .
*
In the morning it flourisheth ,
and groweth up ;
in the evening it is cut down ,
and withereth .
*
For we are consumed by thine anger ,
and by thy wrath are we troubled .
*
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee ,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance .
*
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath :
we spend our years as a tale that is told .
*
The days of our years are threescore years and ten ;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years ,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow ;
for it is soon cut off ,
and we fly away .
*
Who knoweth the power of thine anger ?
even according to thy fear ,
so is thy wrath .
*
So teach us to number our days ,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom .
*
Return ,
O LORD ,
how long ?
and let it repent thee concerning thy servants .
*
O satisfy us early with thy mercy ;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days .
*
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us ,
and the years wherein we have seen evil .
*
Let thy work appear unto thy servants ,
and thy glory unto their children .
*
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us :
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us ;
yea ,
the work of our hands establish thou it .
*
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty .
*
I will say of the LORD ,
He is my refuge and my fortress :
my God ;
in him will I trust .
*
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler ,
and from the noisome pestilence .
*
He shall cover thee with his feathers ,
and under his wings shalt thou trust :
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler .
*
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day ;
*
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday .
*
A thousand shall fall at thy side ,
and ten thousand at thy right hand ;
but it shall not come nigh thee .
*
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked .
*
Because thou hast made the LORD ,
which is my refuge ,
even the most High ,
thy habitation ;
*
There shall no evil befall thee ,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling .
*
For he shall give his angels charge over thee ,
to keep thee in all thy ways .
*
They shall bear thee up in their hands ,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone .
*
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder :
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet .
*
Because he hath set his love upon me ,
therefore will I deliver him :
I will set him on high ,
because he hath known my name .
*
He shall call upon me ,
and I will answer him :
I will be with him in trouble ;
I will deliver him ,
and honour him .
*
With long life will I satisfy him ,
and shew him my salvation .
*
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD ,
and to sing praises unto thy name ,
O most High :
*
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning ,
and thy faithfulness every night ,
*
Upon an instrument of ten strings ,
and upon the psaltery ;
upon the harp with a solemn sound .
*
For thou ,
LORD ,
hast made me glad through thy work :
I will triumph in the works of thy hands .
*
O LORD ,
how great are thy works !
and thy thoughts are very deep .
*
A brutish man knoweth not ;
neither doth a fool understand this .
*
When the wicked spring as the grass ,
and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish ;
it is that they shall be destroyed for ever :
*
But thou ,
LORD ,
art most high for evermore .
*
For ,
lo ,
thine enemies ,
O LORD ,
for ,
lo ,
thine enemies shall perish ;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered .
*
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn :
I shall be anointed with fresh oil .
*
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies ,
and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me .
*
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree :
he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon .
*
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God .
*
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age ;
they shall be fat and flourishing ;
*
To shew that the LORD is upright :
he is my rock ,
and there is no unrighteousness in him .
*
The LORD reigneth ,
he is clothed with majesty ;
the LORD is clothed with strength ,
wherewith he hath girded himself :
the world also is stablished ,
that it cannot be moved .
*
Thy throne is established of old :
thou art from everlasting .
*
The floods have lifted up ,
O LORD ,
the floods have lifted up their voice ;
the floods lift up their waves .
*
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters ,
yea ,
than the mighty waves of the sea .
*
Thy testimonies are very sure :
holiness becometh thine house ,
O LORD ,
for ever .
*
O LORD God ,
to whom vengeance belongeth ;
O God ,
to whom vengeance belongeth ,
shew thyself .
*
Lift up thyself ,
thou judge of the earth :
render a reward to the proud .
*
LORD ,
how long shall the wicked ,
how long shall the wicked triumph ?
*
How long shall they utter and speak hard things ?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ?
*
They break in pieces thy people ,
O LORD ,
and afflict thine heritage .
*
They slay the widow and the stranger ,
and murder the fatherless .
*
Yet they say ,
The LORD shall not see ,
neither shall the God of Jacob regard it .
*
Understand ,
ye brutish among the people :
and ye fools ,
when will ye be wise ?
*
He that planted the ear ,
shall he not hear ?
he that formed the eye ,
shall he not see ?
*
He that chastiseth the heathen ,
shall not he correct ?
he that teacheth man knowledge ,
shall not he know ?
*
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man ,
that they are vanity .
*
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest ,
O LORD ,
and teachest him out of thy law ;
*
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity ,
until the pit be digged for the wicked .
*
For the LORD will not cast off his people ,
neither will he forsake his inheritance .
*
But judgment shall return unto righteousness :
and all the upright in heart shall follow it .
*
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers ?
or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity ?
*
Unless the LORD had been my help ,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence .
*
When I said ,
My foot slippeth ;
thy mercy ,
O LORD ,
held me up .
*
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul .
*
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee ,
which frameth mischief by a law ?
*
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous ,
and condemn the innocent blood .
*
But the LORD is my defence ;
and my God is the rock of my refuge .
*
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity ,
and shall cut them off in their own wickedness ;
yea ,
the LORD our God shall cut them off .
*
O come ,
let us sing unto the LORD :
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation .
*
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving ,
and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms .
*
For the LORD is a great God ,
and a great King above all gods .
*
In his hand are the deep places of the earth :
the strength of the hills is his also .
*
The sea is his ,
and he made it :
and his hands formed the dry land .
*
O come ,
let us worship and bow down :
let us kneel before the LORD our maker .
*
For he is our God ;
and we are the people of his pasture ,
and the sheep of his hand .
To day if ye will hear his voice ,
*
Harden not your heart ,
as in the provocation ,
and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness :
*
When your fathers tempted me ,
proved me ,
and saw my work .
*
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation ,
and said ,
It is a people that do err in their heart ,
and they have not known my ways :
*
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest .
*
O sing unto the LORD a new song :
sing unto the LORD ,
all the earth .
*
Sing unto the LORD ,
bless his name ;
shew forth his salvation from day to day .
*
Declare his glory among the heathen ,
his wonders among all people .
*
For the LORD is great ,
and greatly to be praised :
he is to be feared above all gods .
*
For all the gods of the nations are idols :
but the LORD made the heavens .
*
Honour and majesty are before him :
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary .
*
Give unto the LORD ,
O ye kindreds of the people ,
give unto the LORD glory and strength .
*
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name :
bring an offering ,
and come into his courts .
*
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness :
fear before him ,
all the earth .
*
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth :
the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved :
he shall judge the people righteously .
*
Let the heavens rejoice ,
and let the earth be glad ;
let the sea roar ,
and the fulness thereof .
*
Let the field be joyful ,
and all that is therein :
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
*
Before the LORD :
for he cometh ,
for he cometh to judge the earth :
he shall judge the world with righteousness ,
and the people with his truth .
*
The LORD reigneth ;
let the earth rejoice ;
let the multitude of isles be glad thereof .
*
Clouds and darkness are round about him :
righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne .
*
A fire goeth before him ,
and burneth up his enemies round about .
*
His lightnings enlightened the world :
the earth saw ,
and trembled .
*
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD ,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth .
*
The heavens declare his righteousness ,
and all the people see his glory .
*
Confounded be all they that serve graven images ,
that boast themselves of idols :
worship him ,
all ye gods .
*
Zion heard ,
and was glad ;
and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments ,
O LORD .
*
For thou ,
LORD ,
art high above all the earth :
thou art exalted far above all gods .
*
Ye that love the LORD ,
hate evil :
he preserveth the souls of his saints ;
he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked .
*
Light is sown for the righteous ,
and gladness for the upright in heart .
*
Rejoice in the LORD ,
ye righteous ;
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness .
*
O sing unto the LORD a new song ;
for he hath done marvellous things :
his right hand ,
and his holy arm ,
hath gotten him the victory .
*
The LORD hath made known his salvation :
his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen .
*
He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel :
all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God .
*
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD ,
all the earth :
make a loud noise ,
and rejoice ,
and sing praise .
*
Sing unto the LORD with the harp ;
with the harp ,
and the voice of a psalm .
*
With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD ,
the King .
*
Let the sea roar ,
and the fulness thereof ;
the world ,
and they that dwell therein .
*
Let the floods clap their hands :
let the hills be joyful together
*
Before the LORD ;
for he cometh to judge the earth :
with righteousness shall he judge the world ,
and the people with equity .
*
The LORD reigneth ;
let the people tremble :
he sitteth between the cherubims ;
let the earth be moved .
*
The LORD is great in Zion ;
and he is high above all the people .
*
Let them praise thy great and terrible name ;
for it is holy .
*
The king '
s strength also loveth judgment ;
thou dost establish equity ,
thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob .
*
Exalt ye the LORD our God ,
and worship at his footstool ;
for he is holy .
*
Moses and Aaron among his priests ,
and Samuel among them that call upon his name ;
they called upon the LORD ,
and he answered them .
*
He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar :
they kept his testimonies ,
and the ordinance that he gave them .
*
Thou answeredst them ,
O LORD our God :
thou wast a God that forgavest them ,
though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions .
*
Exalt the LORD our God ,
and worship at his holy hill ;
for the LORD our God is holy .
*
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD ,
all ye lands .
*
Serve the LORD with gladness :
come before his presence with singing .
*
Know ye that the LORD he is God :
it is he that hath made us ,
and not we ourselves ;
we are his people ,
and the sheep of his pasture .
*
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving ,
and into his courts with praise :
be thankful unto him ,
and bless his name .
*
For the LORD is good ;
his mercy is everlasting ;
and his truth endureth to all generations .
*
I will sing of mercy and judgment :
unto thee ,
O LORD ,
will I sing .
*
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way .
O when wilt thou come unto me ?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart .
*
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes :
I hate the work of them that turn aside ;
it shall not cleave to me .
*
A froward heart shall depart from me :
I will not know a wicked person .
*
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour ,
him will I cut off :
him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer .
*
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land ,
that they may dwell with me :
he that walketh in a perfect way ,
he shall serve me .
*
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house :
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight .
*
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land ;
that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD .
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
and let my cry come unto thee .
*
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble ;
incline thine ear unto me :
in the day when I call answer me speedily .
*
For my days are consumed like smoke ,
and my bones are burned as an hearth .
*
My heart is smitten ,
and withered like grass ;
so that I forget to eat my bread .
*
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin .
*
I am like a pelican of the wilderness :
I am like an owl of the desert .
*
I watch ,
and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top .
*
Mine enemies reproach me all the day ;
and they that are mad against me are sworn against me .
*
For I have eaten ashes like bread ,
and mingled my drink with weeping ,
*
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath :
for thou hast lifted me up ,
and cast me down .
*
My days are like a shadow that declineth ;
and I am withered like grass .
*
But thou ,
O LORD ,
shalt endure for ever ;
and thy remembrance unto all generations .
*
Thou shalt arise ,
and have mercy upon Zion :
for the time to favour her ,
yea ,
the set time ,
is come .
*
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones ,
and favour the dust thereof .
*
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD ,
and all the kings of the earth thy glory .
*
When the LORD shall build up Zion ,
he shall appear in his glory .
*
He will regard the prayer of the destitute ,
and not despise their prayer .
*
This shall be written for the generation to come :
and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD .
*
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary ;
from heaven did the LORD behold the earth ;
*
To hear the groaning of the prisoner ;
to loose those that are appointed to death ;
*
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion ,
and his praise in Jerusalem ;
*
When the people are gathered together ,
and the kingdoms ,
to serve the LORD .
*
He weakened my strength in the way ;
he shortened my days .
*
I said ,
O my God ,
take me not away in the midst of my days :
thy years are throughout all generations .
*
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth :
and the heavens are the work of thy hands .
*
They shall perish ,
but thou shalt endure :
yea ,
all of them shall wax old like a garment ;
as a vesture shalt thou change them ,
and they shall be changed :
*
But thou art the same ,
and thy years shall have no end .
*
The children of thy servants shall continue ,
and their seed shall be established before thee .
*
Bless the LORD ,
O my soul :
and all that is within me ,
bless his holy name .
*
Bless the LORD ,
O my soul ,
and forget not all his benefits :
*
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ;
who healeth all thy diseases ;
*
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction ;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies ;
*
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things ;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle '
s .
*
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed .
*
He made known his ways unto Moses ,
his acts unto the children of Israel .
*
The LORD is merciful and gracious ,
slow to anger ,
and plenteous in mercy .
*
He will not always chide :
neither will he keep his anger for ever .
*
He hath not dealt with us after our sins ;
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities .
*
For as the heaven is high above the earth ,
so great is his mercy toward them that fear him .
*
As far as the east is from the west ,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us .
*
Like as a father pitieth his children ,
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him .
*
For he knoweth our frame ;
he remembereth that we are dust .
*
As for man ,
his days are as grass :
as a flower of the field ,
so he flourisheth .
*
For the wind passeth over it ,
and it is gone ;
and the place thereof shall know it no more .
*
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him ,
and his righteousness unto children '
s children ;
*
To such as keep his covenant ,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them .
*
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens ;
and his kingdom ruleth over all .
*
Bless the LORD ,
ye his angels ,
that excel in strength ,
that do his commandments ,
hearkening unto the voice of his word .
*
Bless ye the LORD ,
all ye his hosts ;
ye ministers of his ,
that do his pleasure .
*
Bless the LORD ,
all his works in all places of his dominion :
bless the LORD ,
O my soul .
*
Bless the LORD ,
O my soul .
O LORD my God ,
thou art very great ;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty .
*
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment :
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain :
*
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters :
who maketh the clouds his chariot :
who walketh upon the wings of the wind :
*
Who maketh his angels spirits ;
his ministers a flaming fire :
*
Who laid the foundations of the earth ,
that it should not be removed for ever .
*
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment :
the waters stood above the mountains .
*
At thy rebuke they fled ;
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away .
*
They go up by the mountains ;
they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them .
*
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over ;
that they turn not again to cover the earth .
*
He sendeth the springs into the valleys ,
which run among the hills .
*
They give drink to every beast of the field :
the wild asses quench their thirst .
*
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation ,
which sing among the branches .
*
He watereth the hills from his chambers :
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works .
*
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle ,
and herb for the service of man :
that he may bring forth food out of the earth ;
*
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man ,
and oil to make his face to shine ,
and bread which strengtheneth man '
s heart .
*
The trees of the LORD are full of sap ;
the cedars of Lebanon ,
which he hath planted ;
*
Where the birds make their nests :
as for the stork ,
the fir trees are her house .
*
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats ;
and the rocks for the conies .
*
He appointed the moon for seasons :
the sun knoweth his going down .
*
Thou makest darkness ,
and it is night :
wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth .
*
The young lions roar after their prey ,
and seek their meat from God .
*
The sun ariseth ,
they gather themselves together ,
and lay them down in their dens .
*
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening .
*
O LORD ,
how manifold are thy works !
in wisdom hast thou made them all :
the earth is full of thy riches .
*
So is this great and wide sea ,
wherein are things creeping innumerable ,
both small and great beasts .
*
There go the ships :
there is that leviathan ,
whom thou hast made to play therein .
*
These wait all upon thee ;
that thou mayest give them their meat in due season .
*
That thou givest them they gather :
thou openest thine hand ,
they are filled with good .
*
Thou hidest thy face ,
they are troubled :
thou takest away their breath ,
they die ,
and return to their dust .
*
Thou sendest forth thy spirit ,
they are created :
and thou renewest the face of the earth .
*
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever :
the LORD shall rejoice in his works .
*
He looketh on the earth ,
and it trembleth :
he toucheth the hills ,
and they smoke .
*
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live :
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being .
*
My meditation of him shall be sweet :
I will be glad in the LORD .
*
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth ,
and let the wicked be no more .
Bless thou the LORD ,
O my soul .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
call upon his name :
make known his deeds among the people .
*
Sing unto him ,
sing psalms unto him :
talk ye of all his wondrous works .
*
Glory ye in his holy name :
let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD .
*
Seek the LORD ,
and his strength :
seek his face evermore .
*
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done ;
his wonders ,
and the judgments of his mouth ;
*
O ye seed of Abraham his servant ,
ye children of Jacob his chosen .
*
He is the LORD our God :
his judgments are in all the earth .
*
He hath remembered his covenant for ever ,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations .
*
Which covenant he made with Abraham ,
and his oath unto Isaac ;
*
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law ,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant :
*
Saying ,
Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan ,
the lot of your inheritance :
*
When they were but a few men in number ;
yea ,
very few ,
and strangers in it .
*
When they went from one nation to another ,
from one kingdom to another people ;
*
He suffered no man to do them wrong :
yea ,
he reproved kings for their sakes ;
*
Saying ,
Touch not mine anointed ,
and do my prophets no harm .
*
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land :
he brake the whole staff of bread .
*
He sent a man before them ,
even Joseph ,
who was sold for a servant :
*
Whose feet they hurt with fetters :
he was laid in iron :
*
Until the time that his word came :
the word of the LORD tried him .
*
The king sent and loosed him ;
even the ruler of the people ,
and let him go free .
*
He made him lord of his house ,
and ruler of all his substance :
*
To bind his princes at his pleasure ;
and teach his senators wisdom .
*
Israel also came into Egypt ;
and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham .
*
And he increased his people greatly ;
and made them stronger than their enemies .
*
He turned their heart to hate his people ,
to deal subtilly with his servants .
*
He sent Moses his servant ;
and Aaron whom he had chosen .
*
They shewed his signs among them ,
and wonders in the land of Ham .
*
He sent darkness ,
and made it dark ;
and they rebelled not against his word .
*
He turned their waters into blood ,
and slew their fish .
*
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance ,
in the chambers of their kings .
*
He spake ,
and there came divers sorts of flies ,
and lice in all their coasts .
*
He gave them hail for rain ,
and flaming fire in their land .
*
He smote their vines also and their fig trees ;
and brake the trees of their coasts .
*
He spake ,
and the locusts came ,
and caterpillers ,
and that without number ,
*
And did eat up all the herbs in their land ,
and devoured the fruit of their ground .
*
He smote also all the firstborn in their land ,
the chief of all their strength .
*
He brought them forth also with silver and gold :
and there was not one feeble person among their tribes .
*
Egypt was glad when they departed :
for the fear of them fell upon them .
*
He spread a cloud for a covering ;
and fire to give light in the night .
*
The people asked ,
and he brought quails ,
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven .
*
He opened the rock ,
and the waters gushed out ;
they ran in the dry places like a river .
*
For he remembered his holy promise ,
and Abraham his servant .
*
And he brought forth his people with joy ,
and his chosen with gladness :
*
And gave them the lands of the heathen :
and they inherited the labour of the people ;
*
That they might observe his statutes ,
and keep his laws .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD ?
who can shew forth all his praise ?
*
Blessed are they that keep judgment ,
and he that doeth righteousness at all times .
*
Remember me ,
O LORD ,
with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people :
O visit me with thy salvation ;
*
That I may see the good of thy chosen ,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation ,
that I may glory with thine inheritance .
*
We have sinned with our fathers ,
we have committed iniquity ,
we have done wickedly .
*
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ;
they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies ;
but provoked him at the sea ,
even at the Red sea .
*
Nevertheless he saved them for his name '
s sake ,
that he might make his mighty power to be known .
*
He rebuked the Red sea also ,
and it was dried up :
so he led them through the depths ,
as through the wilderness .
*
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them ,
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy .
*
And the waters covered their enemies :
there was not one of them left .
*
Then believed they his words ;
they sang his praise .
*
They soon forgat his works ;
they waited not for his counsel :
*
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness ,
and tempted God in the desert .
*
And he gave them their request ;
but sent leanness into their soul .
*
They envied Moses also in the camp ,
and Aaron the saint of the LORD .
*
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan ,
and covered the company of Abiram .
*
And a fire was kindled in their company ;
the flame burned up the wicked .
*
They made a calf in Horeb ,
and worshipped the molten image .
*
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass .
*
They forgat God their saviour ,
which had done great things in Egypt ;
*
Wondrous works in the land of Ham ,
and terrible things by the Red sea .
*
Therefore he said that he would destroy them ,
had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach ,
to turn away his wrath ,
lest he should destroy them .
*
Yea ,
they despised the pleasant land ,
they believed not his word :
*
But murmured in their tents ,
and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD .
*
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them ,
to overthrow them in the wilderness :
*
To overthrow their seed also among the nations ,
and to scatter them in the lands .
*
They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor ,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead .
*
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions :
and the plague brake in upon them .
*
Then stood up Phinehas ,
and executed judgment :
and so the plague was stayed .
*
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore .
*
They angered him also at the waters of strife ,
so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes :
*
Because they provoked his spirit ,
so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips .
*
They did not destroy the nations ,
concerning whom the LORD commanded them :
*
But were mingled among the heathen ,
and learned their works .
*
And they served their idols :
which were a snare unto them .
*
Yea ,
they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils ,
*
And shed innocent blood ,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters ,
whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan :
and the land was polluted with blood .
*
Thus were they defiled with their own works ,
and went a whoring with their own inventions .
*
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people ,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance .
*
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen ;
and they that hated them ruled over them .
*
Their enemies also oppressed them ,
and they were brought into subjection under their hand .
*
Many times did he deliver them ;
but they provoked him with their counsel ,
and were brought low for their iniquity .
*
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction ,
when he heard their cry :
*
And he remembered for them his covenant ,
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies .
*
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives .
*
Save us ,
O LORD our God ,
and gather us from among the heathen ,
to give thanks unto thy holy name ,
and to triumph in thy praise .
*
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting :
and let all the people say ,
Amen .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ,
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
