Psalms:21-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The king shall joy in thy strength ,
O LORD ;
and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice !
*
Thou hast given him his heart '
s desire ,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips .
Selah .
*
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness :
thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head .
*
He asked life of thee ,
and thou gavest it him ,
even length of days for ever and ever .
*
His glory is great in thy salvation :
honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him .
*
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever :
thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance .
*
For the king trusteth in the LORD ,
and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved .
*
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies :
thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee .
*
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger :
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath ,
and the fire shall devour them .
*
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth ,
and their seed from among the children of men .
*
For they intended evil against thee :
they imagined a mischievous device ,
which they are not able to perform .
*
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back ,
when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them .
*
Be thou exalted ,
LORD ,
in thine own strength :
so will we sing and praise thy power .
*
My God ,
my God ,
why hast thou forsaken me ?
why art thou so far from helping me ,
and from the words of my roaring ?
*
O my God ,
I cry in the daytime ,
but thou hearest not ;
and in the night season ,
and am not silent .
*
But thou art holy ,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel .
*
Our fathers trusted in thee :
they trusted ,
and thou didst deliver them .
*
They cried unto thee ,
and were delivered :
they trusted in thee ,
and were not confounded .
*
But I am a worm ,
and no man ;
a reproach of men ,
and despised of the people .
*
All they that see me laugh me to scorn :
they shoot out the lip ,
they shake the head ,
saying ,
*
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him :
let him deliver him ,
seeing he delighted in him .
*
But thou art he that took me out of the womb :
thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother '
s breasts .
*
I was cast upon thee from the womb :
thou art my God from my mother '
s belly .
*
Be not far from me ;
for trouble is near ;
for there is none to help .
*
Many bulls have compassed me :
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round .
*
They gaped upon me with their mouths ,
as a ravening and a roaring lion .
*
I am poured out like water ,
and all my bones are out of joint :
my heart is like wax ;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels .
*
My strength is dried up like a potsherd ;
and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws ;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death .
*
For dogs have compassed me :
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me :
they pierced my hands and my feet .
*
I may tell all my bones :
they look and stare upon me .
*
They part my garments among them ,
and cast lots upon my vesture .
*
But be not thou far from me ,
O LORD :
O my strength ,
haste thee to help me .
*
Deliver my soul from the sword ;
my darling from the power of the dog .
*
Save me from the lion '
s mouth :
for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns .
*
I will declare thy name unto my brethren :
in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee .
*
Ye that fear the LORD ,
praise him ;
all ye the seed of Jacob ,
glorify him ;
and fear him ,
all ye the seed of Israel .
*
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted ;
neither hath he hid his face from him ;
but when he cried unto him ,
he heard .
*
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation :
I will pay my vows before them that fear him .
*
The meek shall eat and be satisfied :
they shall praise the LORD that seek him :
your heart shall live for ever .
*
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD :
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee .
*
For the kingdom is the LORD '
S :
and he is the governor among the nations .
*
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship :
all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him :
and none can keep alive his own soul .
*
A seed shall serve him ;
it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation .
*
They shall come ,
and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born ,
that he hath done this .
*
The LORD is my shepherd ;
I shall not want .
*
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures :
he leadeth me beside the still waters .
*
He restoreth my soul :
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name '
s sake .
*
Yea ,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ,
I will fear no evil :
for thou art with me ;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me .
*
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies :
thou anointest my head with oil ;
my cup runneth over .
*
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life :
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever .
*
The earth is the LORD '
S ,
and the fulness thereof ;
the world ,
and they that dwell therein .
*
For he hath founded it upon the seas ,
and established it upon the floods .
*
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD ?
or who shall stand in his holy place ?
*
He that hath clean hands ,
and a pure heart ;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity ,
nor sworn deceitfully .
*
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD ,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation .
*
This is the generation of them that seek him ,
that seek thy face ,
O Jacob .
Selah .
*
Lift up your heads ,
O ye gates ;
and be ye lift up ,
ye everlasting doors ;
and the King of glory shall come in .
*
Who is this King of glory ?
The LORD strong and mighty ,
the LORD mighty in battle .
*
Lift up your heads ,
O ye gates ;
even lift them up ,
ye everlasting doors ;
and the King of glory shall come in .
*
Who is this King of glory ?
The LORD of hosts ,
he is the King of glory .
Selah .
*
Unto thee ,
O LORD ,
do I lift up my soul .
*
O my God ,
I trust in thee :
let me not be ashamed ,
let not mine enemies triumph over me .
*
Yea ,
let none that wait on thee be ashamed :
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause .
*
Shew me thy ways ,
O LORD ;
teach me thy paths .
*
Lead me in thy truth ,
and teach me :
for thou art the God of my salvation ;
on thee do I wait all the day .
*
Remember ,
O LORD ,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses ;
for they have been ever of old .
*
Remember not the sins of my youth ,
nor my transgressions :
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness '
sake ,
O LORD .
*
Good and upright is the LORD :
therefore will he teach sinners in the way .
*
The meek will he guide in judgment :
and the meek will he teach his way .
*
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies .
*
For thy name '
s sake ,
O LORD ,
pardon mine iniquity ;
for it is great .
*
What man is he that feareth the LORD ?
him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose .
*
His soul shall dwell at ease ;
and his seed shall inherit the earth .
*
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him ;
and he will shew them his covenant .
*
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD ;
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net .
*
Turn thee unto me ,
and have mercy upon me ;
for I am desolate and afflicted .
*
The troubles of my heart are enlarged :
O bring thou me out of my distresses .
*
Look upon mine affliction and my pain ;
and forgive all my sins .
*
Consider mine enemies ;
for they are many ;
and they hate me with cruel hatred .
*
O keep my soul ,
and deliver me :
let me not be ashamed ;
for I put my trust in thee .
*
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me ;
for I wait on thee .
*
Redeem Israel ,
O God ,
out of all his troubles .
*
Judge me ,
O LORD ;
for I have walked in mine integrity :
I have trusted also in the LORD ;
therefore I shall not slide .
