Seeker Overlay ON
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from evil men ;
Preserve me from violent men ,
*
Who plan evil things in their hearts ;
They continually gather together for war .
*
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent ;
The poison of asps is under their lips .
Selah
*
Keep me ,
O LORD ,
from the hands of the wicked ;
Preserve me from violent men ,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble .
*
The proud have hidden a snare for me ,
and cords ;
They have spread a net by the wayside ;
They have set traps for me .
Selah
*
I said to the LORD : "
You are my God ;
Hear the voice of my supplications ,
O LORD .
*
O GOD the Lord ,
the strength of my salvation ,
You have covered my head in the day of battle .
*
Do not grant ,
O LORD ,
the desires of the wicked ;
Do not further his wicked scheme ,
Lest they be exalted .
Selah
* "
As for the head of those who surround me ,
Let the evil of their 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 a slanderer be established in the earth ;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him ."
*
I know that the LORD will maintain The cause of the afflicted ,
And justice for the poor .
*
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name ;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence .
*
LORD ,
I cry out to You ;
Make haste to me !
Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You .
*
Let my prayer be set before You as incense ,
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice .
*
Set a guard ,
O LORD ,
over my mouth ;
Keep watch over the door of my lips .
*
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing ,
To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity ;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies .
*
Let the righteous strike me ;
It shall be a kindness .
And let him rebuke me ;
It shall be as excellent oil ;
Let my head not refuse it .
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked .
*
Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff ,
And they hear my words ,
for they are sweet .
*
Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave ,
As when one plows and breaks up the earth .
*
But my eyes are upon You ,
O GOD the Lord ;
In You I take refuge ;
Do not leave my soul destitute .
*
Keep me from the snares they have laid for me ,
And from the traps of the workers of iniquity .
*
Let the wicked fall into their own nets ,
While I escape safely .
*
I cry out to the LORD with my voice ;
With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication .
*
I pour out my complaint before Him ;
I declare before Him my trouble .
*
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me ,
Then You knew my path .
In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me .
*
Look on my right hand and see ,
For there is no one who acknowledges me ;
Refuge has failed me ;
No one cares for my soul .
*
I cried out to You ,
O LORD :
I said , "
You are my refuge ,
My portion in the land of the living .
*
Attend to 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 Your name ;
The righteous shall surround me ,
For You shall deal bountifully with me ."
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ,
Give ear to my supplications !
In Your faithfulness answer me ,
And in Your righteousness .
*
Do not enter into judgment with Your servant ,
For in Your sight no one living is righteous .
*
For the enemy has persecuted my soul ;
He has crushed my life to the ground ;
He has made me dwell in darkness ,
Like those who have long been dead .
*
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me ;
My heart within me is distressed .
*
I remember the days of old ;
I meditate on all Your works ;
I muse on the work of Your hands .
*
I spread out my hands to You ;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land .
Selah
*
Answer me speedily ,
O LORD ;
My spirit fails !
Do not hide Your face from me ,
Lest I be like those who go down into the pit .
*
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning ,
For in You do I trust ;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk ,
For I lift up my soul to You .
*
Deliver me ,
O LORD ,
from my enemies ;
In You I take shelter .
*
Teach me to do Your will ,
For You are my God ;
Your Spirit is good .
Lead me in the land of uprightness .
*
Revive me ,
O LORD ,
for Your name '
s sake !
For Your righteousness '
sake bring my soul out of trouble .
*
In Your mercy cut off my enemies ,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul ;
For I am Your servant .
*
Blessed be the LORD my Rock ,
Who trains my hands for war ,
And my fingers for battle --
*
My lovingkindness and my fortress ,
My high tower and my deliverer ,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge ,
Who subdues my people under me .
*
LORD ,
what is man ,
that You take knowledge of him ?
Or the son of man ,
that You are mindful of him ?
*
Man is like a breath ;
His days are like a passing shadow .
*
Bow down Your heavens ,
O LORD ,
and come down ;
Touch the mountains ,
and they shall smoke .
*
Flash forth lightning and scatter them ;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them .
*
Stretch out Your hand from above ;
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters ,
From the hand of foreigners ,
*
Whose mouth speaks lying words ,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood .
*
I will sing a new song to You ,
O God ;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You ,
*
The One who gives salvation to kings ,
Who delivers David His servant From the deadly sword .
*
Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners ,
Whose mouth speaks lying words ,
And whose 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 pillars ,
Sculptured in palace style ;
*
That our barns may be full ,
Supplying all kinds of produce ;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields ;
*
That our oxen may be well laden ;
That there be no breaking in or going out ;
That there be no outcry in our streets .
*
Happy are the people who are in such a state ;
Happy are the people whose God is the LORD !
*
I will extol You ,
my God ,
O King ;
And I will bless Your name forever and ever .
*
Every day I will bless You ,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever .
*
Great is the LORD ,
and greatly to be praised ;
And His greatness is unsearchable .
*
One generation shall praise Your works to another ,
And shall declare Your mighty acts .
*
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty ,
And on Your wondrous works .
*
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts ,
And I will declare Your greatness .
*
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness ,
And shall sing of Your righteousness .
*
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion ,
Slow to anger and great in mercy .
*
The LORD is good to all ,
And His tender mercies are over all His works .
*
All Your works shall praise You ,
O LORD ,
And Your saints shall bless You .
*
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom ,
And talk of Your power ,
*
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts ,
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom .
*
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations .
*
The LORD upholds all who fall ,
And raises up all who are bowed down .
*
The eyes of all look expectantly to You ,
And You give them their food in due season .
*
You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing .
*
The LORD is righteous in all His ways ,
Gracious in all His works .
*
The LORD is near to all who call upon Him ,
To all who call upon Him in truth .
*
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him ;
He also will hear their cry and save them .
*
The LORD preserves all who love Him ,
But all the wicked He will destroy .
*
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD ,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever .
*
Praise the LORD !
Praise the LORD ,
O my soul !
