Psalms:70-73
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Make haste ,
O God ,
to deliver me ;
make haste to help me ,
O LORD .
*
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul :
let them be turned backward ,
and put to confusion ,
that desire my hurt .
*
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say ,
Aha ,
aha .
*
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee :
and let such as love thy salvation say continually ,
Let God be magnified .
*
But I am poor and needy :
make haste unto me ,
O God :
thou art my help and my deliverer ;
O LORD ,
make no tarrying .
*
In thee ,
O LORD ,
do I put my trust :
let me never be put to confusion .
*
Deliver me in thy righteousness ,
and cause me to escape :
incline thine ear unto me ,
and save me .
*
Be thou my strong habitation ,
whereunto I may continually resort :
thou hast given commandment to save me ;
for thou art my rock and my fortress .
*
Deliver me ,
O my God ,
out of the hand of the wicked ,
out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man .
*
For thou art my hope ,
O Lord GOD :
thou art my trust from my youth .
*
By thee have I been holden up from the womb :
thou art he that took me out of my mother '
s bowels :
my praise shall be continually of thee .
*
I am as a wonder unto many ;
but thou art my strong refuge .
*
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day .
*
Cast me not off in the time of old age ;
forsake me not when my strength faileth .
*
For mine enemies speak against me ;
and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together ,
*
Saying ,
God hath forsaken him :
persecute and take him ;
for there is none to deliver him .
*
O God ,
be not far from me :
O my God ,
make haste for my help .
*
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul ;
let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt .
*
But I will hope continually ,
and will yet praise thee more and more .
*
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day ;
for I know not the numbers thereof .
*
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD :
I will make mention of thy righteousness ,
even of thine only .
*
O God ,
thou hast taught me from my youth :
and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works .
*
Now also when I am old and grayheaded ,
O God ,
forsake me not ;
until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation ,
and thy power to every one that is to come .
*
Thy righteousness also ,
O God ,
is very high ,
who hast done great things :
O God ,
who is like unto thee !
*
Thou ,
which hast shewed me great and sore troubles ,
shalt quicken me again ,
and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth .
*
Thou shalt increase my greatness ,
and comfort me on every side .
*
I will also praise thee with the psaltery ,
even thy truth ,
O my God :
unto thee will I sing with the harp ,
O thou Holy One of Israel .
*
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee ;
and my soul ,
which thou hast redeemed .
*
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long :
for they are confounded ,
for they are brought unto shame ,
that seek my hurt .
*
Give the king thy judgments ,
O God ,
and thy righteousness unto the king '
s son .
*
He shall judge thy people with righteousness ,
and thy poor with judgment .
*
The mountains shall bring peace to the people ,
and the little hills ,
by righteousness .
*
He shall judge the poor of the people ,
he shall save the children of the needy ,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor .
*
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure ,
throughout all generations .
*
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass :
as showers that water the earth .
*
In his days shall the righteous flourish ;
and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth .
*
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea ,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth .
*
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him ;
and his enemies shall lick the dust .
*
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents :
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts .
*
Yea ,
all kings shall fall down before him :
all nations shall serve him .
*
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth ;
the poor also ,
and him that hath no helper .
*
He shall spare the poor and needy ,
and shall save the souls of the needy .
*
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence :
and precious shall their blood be in his sight .
*
And he shall live ,
and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba :
prayer also shall be made for him continually ;
and daily shall he be praised .
*
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains ;
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon :
and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth .
*
His name shall endure for ever :
his name shall be continued as long as the sun :
and men shall be blessed in him :
all nations shall call him blessed .
*
Blessed be the LORD God ,
the God of Israel ,
who only doeth wondrous things .
*
And blessed be his glorious name for ever :
and let the whole earth be filled with his glory ;
Amen ,
and Amen .
*
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended .
*
Truly God is good to Israel ,
even to such as are of a clean heart .
*
But as for me ,
my feet were almost gone ;
my steps had well nigh slipped .
*
For I was envious at the foolish ,
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked .
*
For there are no bands in their death :
but their strength is firm .
*
They are not in trouble as other men ;
neither are they plagued like other men .
*
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain ;
violence covereth them as a garment .
*
Their eyes stand out with fatness :
they have more than heart could wish .
*
They are corrupt ,
and speak wickedly concerning oppression :
they speak loftily .
*
They set their mouth against the heavens ,
and their tongue walketh through the earth .
*
Therefore his people return hither :
and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them .
*
And they say ,
How doth God know ?
and is there knowledge in the most High ?
*
Behold ,
these are the ungodly ,
who prosper in the world ;
they increase in riches .
*
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain ,
and washed my hands in innocency .
*
For all the day long have I been plagued ,
and chastened every morning .
*
If I say ,
I will speak thus ;
behold ,
I should offend against the generation of thy children .
*
When I thought to know this ,
it was too painful for me ;
*
Until I went into the sanctuary of God ;
then understood I their end .
*
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places :
thou castedst them down into destruction .
*
How are they brought into desolation ,
as in a moment !
they are utterly consumed with terrors .
*
As a dream when one awaketh ;
so ,
O Lord ,
when thou awakest ,
thou shalt despise their image .
*
Thus my heart was grieved ,
and I was pricked in my reins .
*
So foolish was I ,
and ignorant :
I was as a beast before thee .
*
Nevertheless I am continually with thee :
thou hast holden me by my right hand .
*
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel ,
and afterward receive me to glory .
*
Whom have I in heaven but thee ?
and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee .
*
My flesh and my heart faileth :
but God is the strength of my heart ,
and my portion for ever .
*
For ,
lo ,
they that are far from thee shall perish :
thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee .
*
But it is good for me to draw near to God :
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD ,
that I may declare all thy works .
*
O God ,
why hast thou cast us off for ever ?
why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture ?
