Psalms:138-145
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
