Seeker Overlay ON

* I will praise thee , O LORD , with my whole heart ; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works . * I will be glad and rejoice in thee : I will sing praise to thy name , O thou most High . * When mine enemies are turned back , they shall fall and perish at thy presence . * For thou hast maintained my right and my cause ; thou satest in the throne judging right . * Thou hast rebuked the heathen , thou hast destroyed the wicked , thou hast put out their name for ever and ever . * O thou enemy , destructions are come to a perpetual end : and thou hast destroyed cities ; their memorial is perished with them . * But the LORD shall endure for ever : he hath prepared his throne for judgment . * And he shall judge the world in righteousness , he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness . * The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed , a refuge in times of trouble . * And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee : for thou , LORD , hast not forsaken them that seek thee . * Sing praises to the LORD , which dwelleth in Zion : declare among the people his doings . * When he maketh inquisition for blood , he remembereth them : he forgetteth not the cry of the humble . * Have mercy upon me , O LORD ; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me , thou that liftest me up from the gates of death : * That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion : I will rejoice in thy salvation . * The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made : in the net which they hid is their own foot taken . * The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth : the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands . Higgaion . Selah . * The wicked shall be turned into hell , and all the nations that forget God . * For the needy shall not alway be forgotten : the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever . * Arise , O LORD ; let not man prevail : let the heathen be judged in thy sight . * Put them in fear , O LORD : that the nations may know themselves to be but men . Selah . * Why standest thou afar off , O LORD ? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble ? * The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor : let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined . * For the wicked boasteth of his heart 's desire , and blesseth the covetous , whom the LORD abhorreth . * The wicked , through the pride of his countenance , will not seek after God : God is not in all his thoughts . * His ways are always grievous ; thy judgments are far above out of his sight : as for all his enemies , he puffeth at them . * He hath said in his heart , I shall not be moved : for I shall never be in adversity . * His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud : under his tongue is mischief and vanity . * He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages : in the secret places doth he murder the innocent : his eyes are privily set against the poor . * He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den : he lieth in wait to catch the poor : he doth catch the poor , when he draweth him into his net . * He croucheth , and humbleth himself , that the poor may fall by his strong ones . * He hath said in his heart , God hath forgotten : he hideth his face ; he will never see it . * Arise , O LORD ; O God , lift up thine hand : forget not the humble . * Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God ? he hath said in his heart , Thou wilt not require it . * Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite , to requite it with thy hand : the poor committeth himself unto thee ; thou art the helper of the fatherless . * Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man : seek out his wickedness till thou find none . * The LORD is King for ever and ever : the heathen are perished out of his land . * LORD , thou hast heard the desire of the humble : thou wilt prepare their heart , thou wilt cause thine ear to hear : * To judge the fatherless and the oppressed , that the man of the earth may no more oppress . * In the LORD put I my trust : how say ye to my soul , Flee as a bird to your mountain ? * For , lo , the wicked bend their bow , they make ready their arrow upon the string , that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart . * If the foundations be destroyed , what can the righteous do ? * The LORD is in his holy temple , the LORD 'S throne is in heaven : his eyes behold , his eyelids try , the children of men . * The LORD trieth the righteous : but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth . * Upon the wicked he shall rain snares , fire and brimstone , and an horrible tempest : this shall be the portion of their cup . * For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness ; his countenance doth behold the upright . * Help , LORD ; for the godly man ceaseth ; for the faithful fail from among the children of men . * They speak vanity every one with his neighbour : with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak . * The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips , and the tongue that speaketh proud things : * Who have said , With our tongue will we prevail ; our lips are our own : who is lord over us ? * For the oppression of the poor , for the sighing of the needy , now will I arise , saith the LORD ; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him . * The words of the LORD are pure words : as silver tried in a furnace of earth , purified seven times . * Thou shalt keep them , O LORD , thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever . * The wicked walk on every side , when the vilest men are exalted . * How long wilt thou forget me , O LORD ? for ever ? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me ? * How long shall I take counsel in my soul , having sorrow in my heart daily ? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me ? * Consider and hear me , O LORD my God : lighten mine eyes , lest I sleep the sleep of death ; * Lest mine enemy say , I have prevailed against him ; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved . * But I have trusted in thy mercy ; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation . * I will sing unto the LORD , because he hath dealt bountifully with me . * The fool hath said in his heart , There is no God . They are corrupt , they have done abominable works , there is none that doeth good . * The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men , to see if there were any that did understand , and seek God . * They are all gone aside , they are all together become filthy : there is none that doeth good , no , not one . * Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge ? who eat up my people as they eat bread , and call not upon the LORD . * There were they in great fear : for God is in the generation of the righteous . * Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor , because the LORD is his refuge . * Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people , Jacob shall rejoice , and Israel shall be glad . * LORD , who shall abide in thy tabernacle ? who shall dwell in thy holy hill ? * He that walketh uprightly , and worketh righteousness , and speaketh the truth in his heart . * He that backbiteth not with his tongue , nor doeth evil to his neighbour , nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour . * In whose eyes a vile person is contemned ; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD . He that sweareth to his own hurt , and changeth not . * He that putteth not out his money to usury , nor taketh reward against the innocent . He that doeth these things shall never be moved . * Preserve me , O God : for in thee do I put my trust . * O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD , Thou art my Lord : my goodness extendeth not to thee ; * But to the saints that are in the earth , and to the excellent , in whom is all my delight . * Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god : their drink offerings of blood will I not offer , nor take up their names into my lips . * The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup : thou maintainest my lot . * The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; yea , I have a goodly heritage . * I will bless the LORD , who hath given me counsel : my reins also instruct me in the night seasons . * I have set the LORD always before me : because he is at my right hand , I shall not be moved . * Therefore my heart is glad , and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope . * For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption . * Thou wilt shew me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore . * Hear the right , O LORD , attend unto my cry , give ear unto my prayer , that goeth not out of feigned lips .
