Psalms:107-150
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ,
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so ,
whom he hath 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 unto 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 satisfieth the longing soul ,
and filleth 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 labour ;
they fell down ,
and there was none to help .
*
Then they cried unto 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 brake 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 hath 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 abhorreth all manner of meat ;
and they draw near unto the gates of death .
*
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he saveth 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 commandeth ,
and raiseth the stormy wind ,
which lifteth 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 wits '
end .
*
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble ,
and he bringeth them out of their distresses .
*
He maketh the storm a calm ,
so that the waves thereof are still .
*
Then are they glad because they be quiet ;
so he bringeth them unto 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 turneth rivers into a wilderness ,
and the watersprings into dry ground ;
*
A fruitful land into barrenness ,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein .
*
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water ,
and dry ground into watersprings .
*
And there he maketh 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 blesseth them also ,
so that they are multiplied greatly ;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease .
*
Again ,
they are minished and brought low through oppression ,
affliction ,
and sorrow .
*
He poureth contempt upon princes ,
and causeth them to wander in the wilderness ,
where there is no way .
*
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction ,
and maketh him families like a flock .
*
The righteous shall see it ,
and rejoice :
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth .
*
Whoso is wise ,
and will observe these things ,
even they shall understand the lovingkindness 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 thee ,
O LORD ,
among the people :
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations .
*
For thy mercy is great above the heavens :
and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds .
*
Be thou exalted ,
O God ,
above the heavens :
and thy glory above all the earth ;
*
That thy beloved may be delivered :
save with thy right hand ,
and answer me .
*
God hath 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 mine head ;
Judah is my lawgiver ;
*
Moab is my washpot ;
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 ?
*
Wilt not thou ,
O God ,
who hast cast us off ?
and wilt not thou ,
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 thy 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 unto prayer .
*
And they have rewarded me evil for good ,
and hatred for my love .
*
Set thou 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 extortioner catch all that he hath ;
and let the strangers spoil his labour .
*
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him :
neither let there be any to favour 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 shew 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 unto 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 unto him as the garment which covereth him ,
and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually .
*
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD ,
and of them that speak evil against my soul .
*
But do thou for me ,
O GOD the Lord ,
for thy name '
s sake :
because thy mercy is good ,
deliver thou me .
*
For I am poor and needy ,
and my heart is wounded within me .
*
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth :
I am tossed up and down as the locust .
*
My knees are weak through fasting ;
and my flesh faileth of fatness .
*
I became also a reproach unto them :
when they looked upon me they shaked their heads .
*
Help me ,
O LORD my God :
O save me according to thy mercy :
*
That they may know that this is thy hand ;
that thou ,
LORD ,
hast done it .
*
Let them curse ,
but bless thou :
when they arise ,
let them be ashamed ;
but let thy servant rejoice .
*
Let mine 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 ;
yea ,
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 unto my Lord ,
Sit thou at my right hand ,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool .
*
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion :
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies .
*
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power ,
in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning :
thou hast the dew of thy youth .
*
The LORD hath sworn ,
and will not repent ,
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek .
*
The Lord at thy 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 ye 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 honourable and glorious :
and his righteousness endureth for ever .
*
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered :
the LORD is gracious and full of compassion .
*
He hath given meat unto them that fear him :
he will ever be mindful of his covenant .
*
He hath shewed 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 unto his people :
he hath 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 endureth for ever .
*
Praise ye the LORD .
Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD ,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments .
*
His seed shall be mighty upon earth :
the generation of the upright shall be blessed .
*
Wealth and riches shall be in his house :
and his righteousness endureth for ever .
*
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness :
he is gracious ,
and full of compassion ,
and righteous .
*
A good man sheweth favour ,
and lendeth :
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 upon his enemies .
*
He hath dispersed ,
he hath given to the poor ;
his righteousness endureth for ever ;
his horn shall be exalted with honour .
*
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 ye the LORD .
Praise ,
O ye servants of the LORD ,
praise the name of the LORD .
*
Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore .
*
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD '
S name is to be praised .
*
The LORD is high above all nations ,
and his glory above the heavens .
*
Who is like unto the LORD our God ,
who dwelleth on high ,
*
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven ,
and in the earth !
*
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust ,
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill ;
*
That he may set him with princes ,
even with the princes of his people .
*
He maketh the barren woman to keep house ,
and to be a joyful mother of children .
Praise ye 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 thee ,
O thou sea ,
that thou fleddest ?
thou Jordan ,
that thou wast driven back ?
*
Ye mountains ,
that ye skipped like rams ;
and ye little hills ,
like lambs ?
*
Tremble ,
thou 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 unto us ,
O LORD ,
not unto us ,
but unto thy name give glory ,
for thy mercy ,
and for thy truth '
s sake .
*
Wherefore should the heathen say ,
Where is now their God ?
*
But our God is in the heavens :
he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased .
*
Their idols 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 :
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 unto them ;
so is every one that trusteth in them .
*
O Israel ,
trust thou 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 .
*
Ye that fear the LORD ,
trust in the LORD :
he is their help and their shield .
*
The LORD hath 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 .
*
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth .
*
The heaven ,
even the heavens ,
are the LORD '
S :
but the earth hath 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 evermore .
Praise the LORD .
*
I love the LORD ,
because he hath heard my voice and my supplications .
*
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me ,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live .
*
The sorrows of death compassed me ,
and the pains of hell gat hold upon me :
I found trouble and sorrow .
*
Then called I upon the name of the LORD ;
O LORD ,
I beseech thee ,
deliver my soul .
*
Gracious is the LORD ,
and righteous ;
yea ,
our God is merciful .
*
The LORD preserveth the simple :
I was brought low ,
and he helped me .
*
Return unto thy rest ,
O my soul ;
for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee .
*
For thou hast delivered my soul from death ,
mine eyes from tears ,
and my feet from falling .
*
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living .
*
I believed ,
therefore have I spoken :
I was greatly afflicted :
*
I said in my haste ,
All men are liars .
*
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me ?
*
I will take the cup of salvation ,
and call upon the name of the LORD .
*
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people .
*
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints .
*
O LORD ,
truly I am thy servant ;
I am thy servant ,
and the son of thine handmaid :
thou hast loosed my bonds .
*
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving ,
and will call upon the name of the LORD .
*
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people ,
*
In the courts of the LORD '
S house ,
in the midst of thee ,
O Jerusalem .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
O praise the LORD ,
all ye nations :
praise him ,
all ye people .
*
For his merciful kindness is great toward us :
and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever .
Praise ye the LORD .
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
for he is good :
because his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Let Israel now say ,
that his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Let the house of Aaron now say ,
that his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Let them now that fear the LORD say ,
that his mercy endureth for ever .
*
I called upon the LORD in distress :
the LORD answered me ,
and set me in a large place .
*
The LORD is on my side ;
I will not fear :
what can man do unto me ?
*
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me :
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me .
*
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man .
*
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes .
*
All nations compassed me about :
but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them .
*
They compassed me about ;
yea ,
they compassed me about :
but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them .
*
They compassed me about like bees ;
they are quenched as the fire of thorns :
for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them .
*
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall :
but the LORD helped me .
*
The LORD is my strength and song ,
and is become my salvation .
*
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous :
the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly .
*
The right hand of the LORD is exalted :
the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly .
*
I shall not die ,
but live ,
and declare the works of the LORD .
*
The LORD hath chastened me sore :
but he hath not given me over unto death .
*
Open to me the gates of righteousness :
I will go into them ,
and I will praise the LORD :
*
This gate of the LORD ,
into which the righteous shall enter .
*
I will praise thee :
for thou hast heard me ,
and art become my salvation .
*
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner .
*
This is the LORD '
S doing ;
it is marvellous in our eyes .
*
This is the day which the LORD hath made ;
we will rejoice and be glad in it .
*
Save now ,
I beseech thee ,
O LORD :
O LORD ,
I beseech thee ,
send now prosperity .
*
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD :
we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD .
*
God is the LORD ,
which hath shewed us light :
bind the sacrifice with cords ,
even unto the horns of the altar .
*
Thou art my God ,
and I will praise thee :
thou art my God ,
I will exalt thee .
*
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
for he is good :
for his mercy endureth for ever .
*
Blessed are the undefiled in the way ,
who walk in the law of the LORD .
*
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies ,
and that seek him with the whole heart .
*
They also do no iniquity :
they walk in his ways .
*
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently .
*
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes !
*
Then shall I not be ashamed ,
when I have respect unto all thy commandments .
*
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart ,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments .
*
I will keep thy statutes :
O forsake me not utterly .
*
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way ?
by taking heed thereto according to thy word .
*
With my whole heart have I sought thee :
O let me not wander from thy commandments .
*
Thy word have I hid in mine heart ,
that I might not sin against thee .
*
Blessed art thou ,
O LORD :
teach me thy statutes .
*
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth .
*
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies ,
as much as in all riches .
*
I will meditate in thy precepts ,
and have respect unto thy ways .
*
I will delight myself in thy statutes :
I will not forget thy word .
*
Deal bountifully with thy servant ,
that I may live ,
and keep thy word .
*
Open thou mine eyes ,
that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law .
*
I am a stranger in the earth :
hide not thy commandments from me .
*
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times .
*
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed ,
which do err from thy commandments .
*
Remove from me reproach and contempt ;
for I have kept thy testimonies .
*
Princes also did sit and speak against me :
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes .
*
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors .
*
My soul cleaveth unto the dust :
quicken thou me according to thy word .
*
I have declared my ways ,
and thou heardest me :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts :
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works .
*
My soul melteth for heaviness :
strengthen thou me according unto thy word .
*
Remove from me the way of lying :
and grant me thy law graciously .
*
I have chosen the way of truth :
thy judgments have I laid before me .
*
I have stuck unto thy testimonies :
O LORD ,
put me not to shame .
*
I will run the way of thy commandments ,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart .
*
Teach me ,
O LORD ,
the way of thy statutes ;
and I shall keep it unto the end .
*
Give me understanding ,
and I shall keep thy law ;
yea ,
I shall observe it with my whole heart .
*
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments ;
for therein do I delight .
*
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies ,
and not to covetousness .
*
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity ;
and quicken thou me in thy way .
*
Stablish thy word unto thy servant ,
who is devoted to thy fear .
*
Turn away my reproach which I fear :
for thy judgments are good .
*
Behold ,
I have longed after thy precepts :
quicken me in thy righteousness .
*
Let thy mercies come also unto me ,
O LORD ,
even thy salvation ,
according to thy word .
*
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me :
for I trust in thy word .
*
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth ;
for I have hoped in thy judgments .
*
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever .
*
And I will walk at liberty :
for I seek thy precepts .
*
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings ,
and will not be ashamed .
*
And I will delight myself in thy commandments ,
which I have loved .
*
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments ,
which I have loved ;
and I will meditate in thy statutes .
*
Remember the word unto thy servant ,
upon which thou hast caused me to hope .
*
This is my comfort in my affliction :
for thy word hath quickened me .
*
The proud have had me greatly in derision :
yet have I not declined from thy law .
*
I remembered thy judgments of old ,
O LORD ;
and have comforted myself .
*
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law .
*
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage .
*
I have remembered thy name ,
O LORD ,
in the night ,
and have kept thy law .
*
This I had ,
because I kept thy precepts .
*
Thou art my portion ,
O LORD :
I have said that I would keep thy words .
*
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart :
be merciful unto me according to thy word .
*
I thought on my ways ,
and turned my feet unto thy testimonies .
*
I made haste ,
and delayed not to keep thy commandments .
*
The bands of the wicked have robbed me :
but I have not forgotten thy law .
*
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments .
*
I am a companion of all them that fear thee ,
and of them that keep thy precepts .
*
The earth ,
O LORD ,
is full of thy mercy :
teach me thy statutes .
*
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant ,
O LORD ,
according unto thy word .
*
Teach me good judgment and knowledge :
for I have believed thy commandments .
*
Before I was afflicted I went astray :
but now have I kept thy word .
*
Thou art good ,
and doest good ;
teach me thy statutes .
*
The proud have forged a lie against me :
but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart .
*
Their heart is as fat as grease ;
but I delight in thy law .
*
It is good for me that I have been afflicted ;
that I might learn thy statutes .
*
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver .
*
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me :
give me understanding ,
that I may learn thy commandments .
*
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me ;
because I have hoped in thy word .
*
I know ,
O LORD ,
that thy judgments are right ,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me .
*
Let ,
I pray thee ,
thy merciful kindness be for my comfort ,
according to thy word unto thy servant .
*
Let thy tender mercies come unto me ,
that I may live :
for thy law is my delight .
*
Let the proud be ashamed ;
for they dealt perversely with me without a cause :
but I will meditate in thy precepts .
*
Let those that fear thee turn unto me ,
and those that have known thy testimonies .
*
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes ;
that I be not ashamed .
*
My soul fainteth for thy salvation :
but I hope in thy word .
*
Mine eyes fail for thy word ,
saying ,
When wilt thou comfort me ?
*
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke ;
yet do I not forget thy statutes .
*
How many are the days of thy servant ?
when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me ?
*
The proud have digged pits for me ,
which are not after thy law .
*
All thy commandments are faithful :
they persecute me wrongfully ;
help thou me .
*
They had almost consumed me upon earth ;
but I forsook not thy precepts .
*
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness ;
so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth .
*
For ever ,
O LORD ,
thy word is settled in heaven .
*
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations :
thou hast established the earth ,
and it abideth .
*
They continue this day according to thine ordinances :
for all are thy servants .
*
Unless thy law had been my delights ,
I should then have perished in mine affliction .
*
I will never forget thy precepts :
for with them thou hast quickened me .
*
I am thine ,
save me ;
for I have sought thy precepts .
*
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me :
but I will consider thy testimonies .
*
I have seen an end of all perfection :
but thy commandment is exceeding broad .
*
O how love I thy law !
it is my meditation all the day .
*
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies :
for they are ever with me .
*
I have more understanding than all my teachers :
for thy testimonies are my meditation .
*
I understand more than the ancients ,
because I keep thy precepts .
*
I have refrained my feet from every evil way ,
that I might keep thy word .
*
I have not departed from thy judgments :
for thou hast taught me .
*
How sweet are thy words unto my taste !
yea ,
sweeter than honey to my mouth !
*
Through thy precepts I get understanding :
therefore I hate every false way .
*
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet ,
and a light unto my path .
*
I have sworn ,
and I will perform it ,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments .
*
I am afflicted very much :
quicken me ,
O LORD ,
according unto thy word .
*
Accept ,
I beseech thee ,
the freewill offerings of my mouth ,
O LORD ,
and teach me thy judgments .
*
My soul is continually in my hand :
yet do I not forget thy law .
*
The wicked have laid a snare for me :
yet I erred not from thy precepts .
*
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever :
for they are the rejoicing of my heart .
*
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway ,
even unto the end .
*
I hate vain thoughts :
but thy law do I love .
*
Thou art my hiding place and my shield :
I hope in thy word .
*
Depart from me ,
ye evildoers :
for I will keep the commandments of my God .
*
Uphold me according unto thy word ,
that I may live :
and let me not be ashamed of my hope .
*
Hold thou me up ,
and I shall be safe :
and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually .
*
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes :
for their deceit is falsehood .
*
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross :
therefore I love thy testimonies .
*
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee ;
and I am afraid of thy judgments .
*
I have done judgment and justice :
leave me not to mine oppressors .
*
Be surety for thy servant for good :
let not the proud oppress me .
*
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation ,
and for the word of thy righteousness .
*
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy ,
and teach me thy statutes .
*
I am thy servant ;
give me understanding ,
that I may know thy testimonies .
*
It is time for thee ,
LORD ,
to work :
for they have made void thy law .
*
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold ;
yea ,
above fine gold .
*
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right ;
and I hate every false way .
*
Thy testimonies are wonderful :
therefore doth my soul keep them .
*
The entrance of thy words giveth light ;
it giveth understanding unto the simple .
*
I opened my mouth ,
and panted :
for I longed for thy commandments .
*
Look thou upon me ,
and be merciful unto me ,
as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name .
*
Order my steps in thy word :
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me .
*
Deliver me from the oppression of man :
so will I keep thy precepts .
*
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant ;
and teach me thy statutes .
*
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes ,
because they keep not thy law .
*
Righteous art thou ,
O LORD ,
and upright are thy judgments .
*
Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful .
*
My zeal hath consumed me ,
because mine enemies have forgotten thy words .
*
Thy word is very pure :
therefore thy servant loveth it .
*
I am small and despised :
yet do not I forget thy precepts .
*
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness ,
and thy law is the truth .
*
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me :
yet thy commandments are my delights .
*
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting :
give me understanding ,
and I shall live .
*
I cried with my whole heart ;
hear me ,
O LORD :
I will keep thy statutes .
*
I cried unto thee ;
save me ,
and I shall keep thy testimonies .
*
I prevented the dawning of the morning ,
and cried :
I hoped in thy word .
*
Mine eyes prevent the night watches ,
that I might meditate in thy word .
*
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness :
O LORD ,
quicken me according to thy judgment .
*
They draw nigh that follow after mischief :
they are far from thy law .
*
Thou art near ,
O LORD ;
and all thy commandments are truth .
*
Concerning thy testimonies ,
I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever .
*
Consider mine affliction ,
and deliver me :
for I do not forget thy law .
*
Plead my cause ,
and deliver me :
quicken me according to thy word .
*
Salvation is far from the wicked :
for they seek not thy statutes .
*
Great are thy tender mercies ,
O LORD :
quicken me according to thy judgments .
*
Many are my persecutors and mine enemies ;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies .
*
I beheld the transgressors ,
and was grieved ;
because they kept not thy word .
*
Consider how I love thy precepts :
quicken me ,
O LORD ,
according to thy lovingkindness .
*
Thy word is true from the beginning :
and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever .
*
Princes have persecuted me without a cause :
but my heart standeth in awe of thy word .
*
I rejoice at thy word ,
as one that findeth great spoil .
*
I hate and abhor lying :
but thy law do I love .
*
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments .
*
Great peace have they which love thy law :
and nothing shall offend them .
*
LORD ,
I have hoped for thy salvation ,
and done thy commandments .
*
My soul hath kept thy testimonies ;
and I love them exceedingly .
*
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies :
for all my ways are before thee .
*
Let my cry come near before thee ,
O LORD :
give me understanding according to thy word .
*
Let my supplication come before thee :
deliver me according to thy word .
*
My lips shall utter praise ,
when thou hast taught me thy statutes .
*
My tongue shall speak of thy word :
for all thy commandments are righteousness .
*
Let thine hand help me ;
for I have chosen thy precepts .
*
I have longed for thy salvation ,
O LORD ;
and thy law is my delight .
*
Let my soul live ,
and it shall praise thee ;
and let thy judgments help me .
*
I have gone astray like a lost sheep ;
seek thy servant ;
for I do not forget thy commandments .
*
In my distress I cried unto the LORD ,
and he heard me .
*
Deliver my soul ,
O LORD ,
from lying lips ,
and from a deceitful tongue .
*
What shall be given unto thee ?
or what shall be done unto thee ,
thou false tongue ?
*
Sharp arrows of the mighty ,
with coals of juniper .
*
Woe is me ,
that I sojourn in Mesech ,
that I dwell in the tents of Kedar !
*
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace .
*
I am for peace :
but when I speak ,
they are for war .
*
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills ,
from whence cometh my help .
*
My help cometh from the LORD ,
which made heaven and earth .
*
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved :
he that keepeth thee will not slumber .
*
Behold ,
he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep .
*
The LORD is thy keeper :
the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand .
*
The sun shall not smite thee by day ,
nor the moon by night .
*
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil :
he shall preserve thy soul .
*
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth ,
and even for evermore .
*
I was glad when they said unto me ,
Let us go into the house of the LORD .
*
Our feet shall stand within thy gates ,
O Jerusalem .
*
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together :
*
Whither the tribes go up ,
the tribes of the LORD ,
unto the testimony of Israel ,
to give thanks unto the name of the LORD .
*
For there are set thrones of judgment ,
the thrones of the house of David .
*
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem :
they shall prosper that love thee .
*
Peace be within thy walls ,
and prosperity within thy palaces .
*
For my brethren and companions '
sakes ,
I will now say ,
Peace be within thee .
*
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good .
*
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes ,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens .
*
Behold ,
as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters ,
and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress ;
so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God ,
until that he have mercy upon us .
*
Have mercy upon us ,
O LORD ,
have mercy upon us :
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt .
*
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease ,
and with the contempt of the proud .
*
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side ,
now may Israel say ;
*
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side ,
when men rose up against us :
*
Then they had swallowed us up quick ,
when their wrath was kindled against us :
*
Then the waters had overwhelmed us ,
the stream had gone over our soul :
*
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul .
*
Blessed be the LORD ,
who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth .
*
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers :
the snare is broken ,
and we are escaped .
*
Our help is in the name of the LORD ,
who made heaven and earth .
*
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion ,
which cannot be removed ,
but abideth for ever .
*
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem ,
so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever .
*
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous ;
lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity .
*
Do good ,
O LORD ,
unto those that be good ,
and to them that are upright in their hearts .
*
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways ,
the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity :
but peace shall be upon Israel .
*
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion ,
we were like them that dream .
*
Then was our mouth filled with laughter ,
and our tongue with singing :
then said they among the heathen ,
The LORD hath done great things for them .
*
The LORD hath done great things for us ;
whereof we are glad .
*
Turn again our captivity ,
O LORD ,
as the streams in the south .
*
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy .
*
He that goeth forth and weepeth ,
bearing precious seed ,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing ,
bringing his sheaves with him .
*
Except the LORD build the house ,
they labour in vain that build it :
except the LORD keep the city ,
the watchman waketh but in vain .
*
It is vain for you to rise up early ,
to sit up late ,
to eat the bread of sorrows :
for so he giveth his beloved sleep .
*
Lo ,
children are an heritage of the LORD :
and the fruit of the womb is his reward .
*
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man ;
so are children of the youth .
*
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them :
they shall not be ashamed ,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate .
*
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD ;
that walketh in his ways .
*
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands :
happy shalt thou be ,
and it shall be well with thee .
*
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house :
thy children like olive plants round about thy table .
*
Behold ,
that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD .
*
The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion :
and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life .
*
Yea ,
thou shalt see thy children '
s children ,
and peace upon Israel .
*
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth ,
may Israel now say :
*
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth :
yet they have not prevailed against me .
*
The plowers plowed upon my back :
they made long their furrows .
*
The LORD is righteous :
he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked .
*
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion .
*
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops ,
which withereth afore it groweth up :
*
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand ;
nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom .
*
Neither do they which go by say ,
The blessing of the LORD be upon you :
we bless you in the name of the LORD .
*
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee ,
O LORD .
*
Lord ,
hear my voice :
let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications .
*
If thou ,
LORD ,
shouldest mark iniquities ,
O Lord ,
who shall stand ?
*
But there is forgiveness with thee ,
that thou mayest be feared .
*
I wait for the LORD ,
my soul doth wait ,
and in his word do I hope .
*
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning :
I say ,
more than they that watch for the morning .
*
Let Israel hope in the LORD :
for with the LORD there is mercy ,
and with him is plenteous redemption .
*
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities .
*
LORD ,
my heart is not haughty ,
nor mine eyes lofty :
neither do I exercise myself in great matters ,
or in things too high for me .
*
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself ,
as a child that is weaned of his mother :
my soul is even as a weaned child .
*
Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever .
*
LORD ,
remember David ,
and all his afflictions :
*
How he sware unto the LORD ,
and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob ;
*
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house ,
nor go up into my bed ;
*
I will not give sleep to mine eyes ,
or slumber to mine eyelids ,
*
Until I find out a place for the LORD ,
an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob .
*
Lo ,
we heard of it at Ephratah :
we found it in the fields of the wood .
*
We will go into his tabernacles :
we will worship at his footstool .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ,
into thy rest ;
thou ,
and the ark of thy strength .
*
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness ;
and let thy saints shout for joy .
*
For thy servant David '
s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed .
*
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David ;
he will not turn from it ;
Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne .
*
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them ,
their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore .
*
For the LORD hath chosen Zion ;
he hath desired it for his habitation .
*
This is my rest for ever :
here will I dwell ;
for I have desired it .
*
I will abundantly bless her provision :
I will satisfy her poor with bread .
*
I will also clothe her priests with salvation :
and her saints shall shout aloud for joy .
*
There will I make the horn of David to bud :
I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed .
*
His enemies will I clothe with shame :
but upon himself shall his crown flourish .
*
Behold ,
how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity !
*
It is like the precious ointment upon the head ,
that ran down upon the beard ,
even Aaron '
s beard :
that went down to the skirts of his garments ;
*
As the dew of Hermon ,
and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion :
for there the LORD commanded the blessing ,
even life for evermore .
*
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 .
*
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 .
