Seeker Overlay ON
*
The LORD reigns ;
let the peoples tremble !
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim ;
let the earth quake !
*
The LORD is great in Zion ;
he is exalted over all the peoples .
*
Let them praise thy great and terrible name !
Holy is he !
*
Mighty King ,
lover of justice ,
thou hast established equity ;
thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob .
*
Extol the LORD our God ;
worship at his footstool !
Holy is he !
*
Moses and Aaron were among his priests ,
Samuel also was among those who called on his name .
They cried to the LORD ,
and he answered them .
*
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud ;
they kept his testimonies ,
and the statutes that he gave them .
*
O LORD our God ,
thou didst answer them ;
thou wast a forgiving God to them ,
but an avenger of their wrongdoings .
*
Extol the LORD our God ,
and worship at his holy mountain ;
for the LORD our God is holy !
*
A Psalm for the thank offering .
*
Make a joyful noise to the LORD ,
all the lands !
*
Serve the LORD with gladness !
Come into his presence with singing !
*
Know that the LORD is God !
It is he that made us ,
and we are his ;
we are his people ,
and the sheep of his pasture .
*
Enter his gates with thanksgiving ,
and his courts with praise !
Give thanks to him ,
bless his name ! [ (
Psalms strkjv @
100:6 )
For the LORD is good ;
his steadfast love endures for ever ,
and his faithfulness to all generations . ]
*
A Psalm of David .
*
I will sing of loyalty and of justice ;
to thee ,
O LORD ,
I will sing .
*
I will give heed to the way that is blameless .
Oh when wilt thou come to me ?
I will walk with integrity of heart within my house ;
*
I will not set before my eyes anything that is base .
I hate the work of those who fall away ;
it shall not cleave to me .
*
Perverseness of heart shall be far from me ;
I will know nothing of evil .
*
Him who slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy .
The man of haughty looks and arrogant heart I will not endure .
*
I will look with favor on the faithful in the land ,
that they may dwell with me ;
he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me .
*
No man who practices deceit shall dwell in my house ;
no man who utters lies shall continue in my presence . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
101:9 )
Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land ,
cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD . ]
*
A prayer of one afflicted ,
when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD .
*
Hear my prayer ,
O LORD ;
let my cry come to thee !
*
Do not hide thy face from me in the day of my distress !
Incline thy ear to me ;
answer me speedily in the day when I call !
*
For my days pass away like smoke ,
and my bones burn like a furnace .
*
My heart is smitten like grass ,
and withered ;
I forget to eat my bread .
*
Because of my loud groaning my bones cleave to my flesh .
*
I am like a vulture of the wilderness ,
like an owl of the waste places ;
*
I lie awake ,
I am like a lonely bird on the housetop .
*
All the day my enemies taunt me ,
those who deride me use my name for a curse .
*
For I eat ashes like bread ,
and mingle tears with my drink ,
*
because of thy indignation and anger ;
for thou hast taken me up and thrown me away .
*
My days are like an evening shadow ;
I wither away like grass .
*
But thou ,
O LORD ,
art enthroned for ever ;
thy name endures to all generations .
*
Thou wilt arise and have pity on Zion ;
it is the time to favor her ;
the appointed time has come .
*
For thy servants hold her stones dear ,
and have pity on her dust .
*
The nations will fear the name of the LORD ,
and all the kings of the earth thy glory .
*
For the LORD will build up Zion ,
he will appear in his glory ;
*
he will regard the prayer of the destitute ,
and will not despise their supplication .
*
Let this be recorded for a generation to come ,
so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD :
*
that he looked down from his holy height ,
from heaven the LORD looked at the earth ,
*
to hear the groans of the prisoners ,
to set free those who were doomed to die ;
*
that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD ,
and in Jerusalem his praise ,
*
when peoples gather together ,
and kingdoms ,
to worship the LORD .
*
He has broken my strength in mid-course ;
he has shortened my days .
* "
O my God ,"
I say , "
take me not hence in the midst of my days ,
thou whose years endure throughout all generations !"
*
Of old thou didst lay the foundation of the earth ,
and the heavens are the work of thy hands .
*
They will perish ,
but thou dost endure ;
they will all wear out like a garment .
Thou changest them like raiment ,
and they pass away ;
*
but thou art the same ,
and thy years have no end . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
102:29 )
The children of thy servants shall dwell secure ;
their posterity shall be established before thee . ]
