Psalms:2-9)
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why do the nations conspire ,
and the peoples plot in vain ?
*
The kings of the earth set themselves ,
and the rulers take counsel together ,
against the LORD and his anointed ,
saying ,
* "
Let us burst their bonds asunder ,
and cast their cords from us ."
*
He who sits in the heavens laughs ;
the LORD has them in derision .
*
Then he will speak to them in his wrath ,
and terrify them in his fury ,
saying ,
* "
I have set my king on Zion ,
my holy hill ."
*
I will tell of the decree of the LORD :
He said to me , "
You are my son ,
today I have begotten you .
*
Ask of me ,
and I will make the nations your heritage ,
and the ends of the earth your possession .
*
You shall break them with a rod of iron ,
and dash them in pieces like a potter '
s vessel ."
*
Now therefore ,
O kings ,
be wise ;
be warned ,
O rulers of the earth .
*
Serve the LORD with fear ,
with trembling
*
kiss his feet ,
lest he be angry ,
and you perish in the way ;
for his wrath is quickly kindled .
Blessed are all who take refuge in him .
*
A Psalm of David ,
when he fled from Absalom his son .
*
O LORD ,
how many are my foes !
Many are rising against me ;
*
many are saying of me ,
there is no help for him in God . [
Selah ]
*
But thou ,
O LORD ,
art a shield about me ,
my glory ,
and the lifter of my head .
*
I cry aloud to the LORD ,
and he answers me from his holy hill . [
Selah ]
*
I lie down and sleep ;
I wake again ,
for the LORD sustains me .
*
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about .
*
Arise ,
O LORD !
Deliver me ,
O my God !
For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek ,
thou dost break the teeth of the wicked . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
3:9 )
Deliverance belongs to the LORD ;
thy blessing be upon thy people ! [
Selah ] ]
*
To the choirmaster :
with stringed instruments .
A Psalm of David .
*
Answer me when I call ,
O God of my right !
Thou hast given me room when I was in distress .
Be gracious to me ,
and hear my prayer .
*
O men ,
how long shall my honor suffer shame ?
How long will you love vain words ,
and seek after lies ? [
Selah ]
*
But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself ;
the LORD hears when I call to him .
*
Be angry ,
but sin not ;
commune with your own hearts on your beds ,
and be silent . [
Selah ]
*
Offer right sacrifices ,
and put your trust in the LORD .
*
There are many who say , "
O that we might see some good !
Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us ,
O LORD !"
*
Thou hast put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
4:9 )
In peace I will both lie down and sleep ;
for thou alone ,
O LORD ,
makest me dwell in safety . ]
*
To the choirmaster :
for the flutes .
A Psalm of David .
*
Give ear to my words ,
O LORD ;
give heed to my groaning .
*
Hearken to the sound of my cry ,
my King and my God ,
for to thee do I pray .
*
O LORD ,
in the morning thou dost hear my voice ;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee ,
and watch .
*
For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness ;
evil may not sojourn with thee .
*
The boastful may not stand before thy eyes ;
thou hatest all evildoers .
*
Thou destroyest those who speak lies ;
the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men .
*
But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house ,
I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee .
*
Lead me ,
O LORD ,
in thy righteousness because of my enemies ;
make thy way straight before me .
*
For there is no truth in their mouth ;
their heart is destruction ,
their throat is an open sepulchre ,
they flatter with their tongue .
*
Make them bear their guilt ,
O God ;
let them fall by their own counsels ;
because of their many transgressions cast them out ,
for they have rebelled against thee .
*
But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice ,
let them ever sing for joy ;
and do thou defend them ,
that those who love thy name may exult in thee . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
5:13 )
For thou dost bless the righteous ,
O LORD ;
thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield . ]
*
To the choirmaster :
with stringed instruments ;
according to The Sheminith .
A Psalm of David .
*
O LORD ,
rebuke me not in thy anger ,
nor chasten me in thy wrath .
*
Be gracious to me ,
O LORD ,
for I am languishing ;
O LORD ,
heal me ,
for my bones are troubled .
*
My soul also is sorely troubled .
But thou ,
O LORD--how long ?
*
Turn ,
O LORD ,
save my life ;
deliver me for the sake of thy steadfast love .
*
For in death there is no remembrance of thee ;
in Sheol who can give thee praise ?
*
I am weary with my moaning ;
every night I flood my bed with tears ;
I drench my couch with my weeping .
*
My eye wastes away because of grief ,
it grows weak because of all my foes .
*
Depart from me ,
all you workers of evil ;
for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping .
*
The LORD has heard my supplication ;
the LORD accepts my prayer . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
6:11 )
All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled ;
they shall turn back ,
and be put to shame in a moment . ]
*
A Shiggaion of David ,
which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush a Benjaminite .
*
O LORD my God ,
in thee do I take refuge ;
save me from all my pursuers ,
and deliver me ,
*
lest like a lion they rend me ,
dragging me away ,
with none to rescue .
*
O LORD my God ,
if I have done this ,
if there is wrong in my hands ,
*
if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause ,
*
let the enemy pursue me and overtake me ,
and let him trample my life to the ground ,
and lay my soul in the dust . [
Selah ]
*
Arise ,
O LORD ,
in thy anger ,
lift thyself up against the fury of my enemies ;
awake ,
O my God ;
thou hast appointed a judgment .
*
Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about thee ;
and over it take thy seat on high .
*
The LORD judges the peoples ;
judge me ,
O LORD ,
according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me .
*
O let the evil of the wicked come to an end ,
but establish thou the righteous ,
thou who triest the minds and hearts ,
thou righteous God .
*
My shield is with God ,
who saves the upright in heart .
*
God is a righteous judge ,
and a God who has indignation every day .
*
If a man does not repent ,
God will whet his sword ;
he has bent and strung his bow ;
*
he has prepared his deadly weapons ,
making his arrows fiery shafts .
*
Behold ,
the wicked man conceives evil ,
and is pregnant with mischief ,
and brings forth lies .
*
He makes a pit ,
digging it out ,
and falls into the hole which he has made .
*
His mischief returns upon his own head ,
and on his own pate his violence descends . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
7:18 )
I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness ,
and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD ,
the Most High . ]
*
To the choirmaster :
according to The Gittith .
A Psalm of David .
*
O LORD ,
our Lord ,
how majestic is thy name in all the earth !
Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
*
by the mouth of babes and infants ,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes ,
to still the enemy and the avenger .
*
When I look at thy heavens ,
the work of thy fingers ,
the moon and the stars which thou hast established ;
*
what is man that thou art mindful of him ,
and the son of man that thou dost care for him ?
*
Yet thou hast made him little less than God ,
and dost crown him with glory and honor .
*
Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands ;
thou hast put all things under his feet ,
*
all sheep and oxen ,
and also the beasts of the field ,
*
the birds of the air ,
and the fish of the sea ,
whatever passes along the paths of the sea . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
8:10 )
O LORD ,
our Lord ,
how majestic is thy name in all the earth ! ]
*
To the choirmaster :
according to Muth-labben .
A Psalm of David .
*
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart ;
I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds .
*
I will be glad and exult in thee ,
I will sing praise to thy name ,
O Most High .
*
When my enemies turned back ,
they stumbled and perished before thee .
*
For thou hast maintained my just cause ;
thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment .
*
Thou hast rebuked the nations ,
thou hast destroyed the wicked ;
thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever .
*
The enemy have vanished in everlasting ruins ;
their cities thou hast rooted out ;
the very memory of them has perished .
*
But the LORD sits enthroned for ever ,
he has established his throne for judgment ;
*
and he judges the world with righteousness ,
he judges the peoples with equity .
*
The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed ,
a stronghold in times of trouble .
*
And those who know thy name put their trust in thee ,
for thou ,
O LORD ,
hast not forsaken those who seek thee .
*
Sing praises to the LORD ,
who dwells in Zion !
Tell among the peoples his deeds !
*
For he who avenges blood is mindful of them ;
he does not forget the cry of the afflicted .
*
Be gracious to me ,
O LORD !
Behold what I suffer from those who hate me ,
O thou who liftest me up from the gates of death ,
*
that I may recount all thy praises ,
that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in thy deliverance .
*
The nations have sunk in the pit which they made ;
in the net which they hid has their own foot been caught .
*
The LORD has made himself known ,
he has executed judgment ;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands . [
Higgaion .
Selah ]
*
The wicked shall depart to Sheol ,
all the nations that forget God .
*
For the needy shall not always be forgotten ,
and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever .
*
Arise ,
O LORD !
Let not man prevail ;
let the nations be judged before thee ! [ (
Psalms strkjv @
9:21 )
Put them in fear ,
O LORD !
Let the nations know that they are but men ! [
Selah ] ]
*
Why dost thou stand afar off ,
O LORD ?
Why dost thou hide thyself in times of trouble ?
