* We have heard with our ears , O God , our fathers have told us , what work thou didst in their days , in the times of old . * How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand , and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict the people , and cast them out . * For they got not the land in possession by their own sword , neither did their own arm save them : but thy right hand , and thine arm , and the light of thy countenance , because thou hadst a favour unto them . * Thou art my King , O God : command deliverances for Jacob . * Through thee will we push down our enemies : through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us . * For I will not trust in my bow , neither shall my sword save me . * But thou hast saved us from our enemies , and hast put them to shame that hated us . * In God we boast all the day long , and praise thy name for ever . Selah . * But thou hast cast off , and put us to shame ; and goest not forth with our armies . * Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy : and they which hate us spoil for themselves . * Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat ; and hast scattered us among the heathen . * Thou sellest thy people for nought , and dost not increase thy wealth by their price . * Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours , a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us . * Thou makest us a byword among the heathen , a shaking of the head among the people . * My confusion is continually before me , and the shame of my face hath covered me , * For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth ; by reason of the enemy and avenger . * All this is come upon us ; yet have we not forgotten thee , neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant . * Our heart is not turned back , neither have our steps declined from thy way ; * Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons , and covered us with the shadow of death . * If we have forgotten the name of our God , or stretched out our hands to a strange god ; * Shall not God search this out ? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart . * Yea , for thy sake are we killed all the day long ; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter . * Awake , why sleepest thou , O Lord ? arise , cast us not off for ever . * Wherefore hidest thou thy face , and forgettest our affliction and our oppression ? * For our soul is bowed down to the dust : our belly cleaveth unto the earth . * Arise for our help , and redeem us for thy mercies ' sake . * My heart is inditing a good matter : I speak of the things which I have made touching the king : my tongue is the pen of a ready writer . * Thou art fairer than the children of men : grace is poured into thy lips : therefore God hath blessed thee for ever . * Gird thy sword upon thy thigh , O most mighty , with thy glory and thy majesty . * And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness ; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things . * Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king 's enemies ; whereby the people fall under thee . * Thy throne , O God , is for ever and ever : the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre . * Thou lovest righteousness , and hatest wickedness : therefore God , thy God , hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows . * All thy garments smell of myrrh , and aloes , and cassia , out of the ivory palaces , whereby they have made thee glad . * Kings ' daughters were among thy honourable women : upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir . * Hearken , O daughter , and consider , and incline thine ear ; forget also thine own people , and thy father 's house ; * So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty : for he is thy Lord ; and worship thou him . * And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift ; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour . * The king 's daughter is all glorious within : her clothing is of wrought gold . * She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework : the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee . * With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought : they shall enter into the king 's palace . * Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children , whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth . * I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations : therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever . * God is our refuge and strength , a very present help in trouble . * Therefore will not we fear , though the earth be removed , and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea ; * Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled , though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof . Selah . * There is a river , the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God , the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High . * God is in the midst of her ; she shall not be moved : God shall help her , and that right early . * The heathen raged , the kingdoms were moved : he uttered his voice , the earth melted . * The LORD of hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge . Selah . * Come , behold the works of the LORD , what desolations he hath made in the earth . * He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth ; he breaketh the bow , and cutteth the spear in sunder ; he burneth the chariot in the fire . * Be still , and know that I am God : I will be exalted among the heathen , I will be exalted in the earth . * The LORD of hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge . Selah . * O clap your hands , all ye people ; shout unto God with the voice of triumph . * For the LORD most high is terrible ; he is a great King over all the earth . * He shall subdue the people under us , and the nations under our feet . * He shall choose our inheritance for us , the excellency of Jacob whom he loved . Selah . * God is gone up with a shout , the LORD with the sound of a trumpet . * Sing praises to God , sing praises : sing praises unto our King , sing praises . * For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding . * God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness . * The princes of the people are gathered together , even the people of the God of Abraham : for the shields of the earth belong unto God : he is greatly exalted . * Great is the LORD , and greatly to be praised in the city of our God , in the mountain of his holiness . * Beautiful for situation , the joy of the whole earth , is mount Zion , on the sides of the north , the city of the great King . * God is known in her palaces for a refuge . * For , lo , the kings were assembled , they passed by together . * They saw it , and so they marvelled ; they were troubled , and hasted away . * Fear took hold upon them there , and pain , as of a woman in travail . * Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind . * As we have heard , so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts , in the city of our God : God will establish it for ever . Selah . * We have thought of thy lovingkindness , O God , in the midst of thy temple . * According to thy name , O God , so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth : thy right hand is full of righteousness . * Let mount Zion rejoice , let the daughters of Judah be glad , because of thy judgments . * Walk about Zion , and go round about her : tell the towers thereof . * Mark ye well her bulwarks , consider her palaces ; that ye may tell it to the generation following . * For this God is our God for ever and ever : he will be our guide even unto death . * Hear this , all ye people ; give ear , all ye inhabitants of the world : * Both low and high , rich and poor , together . * My mouth shall speak of wisdom ; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding . * I will incline mine ear to a parable : I will open my dark saying upon the harp . * Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil , when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about ? * They that trust in their wealth , and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches ; * None of them can by any means redeem his brother , nor give to God a ransom for him : * (For the redemption of their soul is precious , and it ceaseth for ever :) * That he should still live for ever , and not see corruption . * For he seeth that wise men die , likewise the fool and the brutish person perish , and leave their wealth to others . * Their inward thought is , that their houses shall continue for ever , and their dwelling places to all generations ; they call their lands after their own names . * Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not : he is like the beasts that perish . * This their way is their folly : yet their posterity approve their sayings . Selah . * Like sheep they are laid in the grave ; death shall feed on them ; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning ; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling . * But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave : for he shall receive me . Selah . * Be not thou afraid when one is made rich , when the glory of his house is increased ; * For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away : his glory shall not descend after him . * Though while he lived he blessed his soul : and men will praise thee , when thou doest well to thyself . * He shall go to the generation of his fathers ; they shall never see light . * Man that is in honour , and understandeth not , is like the beasts that perish . * The mighty God , even the LORD , hath spoken , and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof .
