Book 19 — Psalms (Continued)

076:001 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
076:002In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
076:003There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
076:004Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
076:005The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
076:006At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
076:007Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
076:008Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
076:009When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
076:010Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
076:011Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
076:012He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

077:001 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
077:002In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
077:003I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
077:004Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
077:005I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
077:006I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
077:007Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
077:008Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
077:009Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
077:010And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
077:011I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
077:012I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
077:013Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
077:014Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
077:015Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
077:016The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
077:017The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
077:018The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
077:019Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
077:020Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

078:001 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
078:002I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
078:003Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
078:004We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
078:005For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
078:006That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
078:007That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
078:008And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
078:009The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
078:010They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
078:011And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
078:012Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
078:013He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
078:014In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
078:015He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
078:016He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
078:017And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
078:018And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
078:019Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
078:020Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
078:021Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
078:022Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
078:023Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
078:024And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
078:025Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
078:026He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
078:027He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
078:028And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
078:029So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
078:030They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
078:031The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
078:032For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
078:033Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
078:034When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
078:035And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
078:036Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
078:037For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
078:038But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
078:039For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
078:040How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
078:041Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
078:042They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
078:043How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.
078:044And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
078:045He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
078:046He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
078:047He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
078:048He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
078:049He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
078:050He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
078:051And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
078:052But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
078:053And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
078:054And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
078:055He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
078:056Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
078:057But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
078:058For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
078:059When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
078:060So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
078:061And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
078:062He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
078:063The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
078:064Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
078:065Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
078:066And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
078:067Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
078:068But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
078:069And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
078:070He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
078:071From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
078:072So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

079:001 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
079:002The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
079:003Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
079:004We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
079:005How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
079:006Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
079:007For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
079:008O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
079:009Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
079:010Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
079:011Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
079:012And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
079:013So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

080:001 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
080:002Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
080:003Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
080:004O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
080:005Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
080:006Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
080:007Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
080:008Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
080:009Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
080:010The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
080:011She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
080:012Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
080:013The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
080:014Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
080:015And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
080:016It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
080:017Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
080:018So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
080:019Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

081:001 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
081:002Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
081:003Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
081:004For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
081:005This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
081:006I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
081:007Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
081:008Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
081:009There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
081:010I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
081:011But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
081:012So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
081:013Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
081:014I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
081:015The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
081:016He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

082:001 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
082:002How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
082:003Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
082:004Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
082:005They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
082:006I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
082:007But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
082:008Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

083:001 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
083:002For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
083:003They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
083:004They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
083:005For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
083:006The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
083:007Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
083:008Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
083:009Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
083:010Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
083:011Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
083:012Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
083:013O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
083:014As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
083:015So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
083:016Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
083:017Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
083:018That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

084:001 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
084:002My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
084:003Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
084:004Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
084:005Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
084:006Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
084:007They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
084:008O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
084:009Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
084:010For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
084:011For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
084:012O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

085:001 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
085:002Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
085:003Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
085:004Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
085:005Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
085:006Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
085:007Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
085:008I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
085:009Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
085:010Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
085:011Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
085:012Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
085:013Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

086:001 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
086:002Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
086:003Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
086:004Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
086:005For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
086:006Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
086:007In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
086:008Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
086:009All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
086:010For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
086:011Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
086:012I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
086:013For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
086:014O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
086:015But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
086:016O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
086:017Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

087:001 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
087:002The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
087:003Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
087:004I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
087:005And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
087:006The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
087:007As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

088:001 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
088:002Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
088:003For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
088:004I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
088:005Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
088:006Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
088:007Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
088:008Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
088:009Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
088:010Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
088:011Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
088:012Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
088:013But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
088:014LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
088:015I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
088:016Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
088:017They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
088:018Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
089:002For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
089:003I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
089:004Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
089:005And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
089:006For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
089:007God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
089:008O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
089:009Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
089:010Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
089:011The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
089:012The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
089:013Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
089:014Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
089:015Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
089:016In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
089:017For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
089:018For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
089:019Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
089:020I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
089:021With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
089:022The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
089:023And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
089:024But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
089:025I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
089:026He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
089:027Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
089:028My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
089:029His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
089:030If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
089:031If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
089:032Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
089:033Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
089:034My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
089:035Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
089:036His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
089:037It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
089:038But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
089:039Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
089:040Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
089:041All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
089:042Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
089:043Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
089:044Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
089:045The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
089:046How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
089:047Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
089:048What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
089:049Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
089:050Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
089:051Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
089:052Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

090:001 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
090:002Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
090:003Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
090:004For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
090:005Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
090:006In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
090:007For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
090:008Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
090:009For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
090:010The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
090:011Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
090:012So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
090:013Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
090:014O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
090:015Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
090:016Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
090:017And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

091:001 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
091:002I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
091:003Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
091:004He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
091:005Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
091:006Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
091:007A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
091:008Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
091:009Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
091:010There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
091:011For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
091:012They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
091:013Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
091:014Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
091:015He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
091:016With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

092:001 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
092:002To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
092:003Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
092:004For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
092:005O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
092:006A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
092:007When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
092:008But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
092:009For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
092:010But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
092:011Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
092:012The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
092:013Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
092:014They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
092:015To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

093:001 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
093:002Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
093:003The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
093:004The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
093:005Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

094:001 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
094:002Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
094:003LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
094:004How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
094:005They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
094:006They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
094:007Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
094:008Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
094:009He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
094:010He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
094:011The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
094:012Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
094:013That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
094:014For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
094:015But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
094:016Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
094:017Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
094:018When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
094:019In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
094:020Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
094:021They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
094:022But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
094:023And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

095:001 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
095:002Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
095:003For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
095:004In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
095:005The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
095:006O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
095:007For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
095:008Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
095:009When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
095:010Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
095:011Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

096:001 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
096:002Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
096:003Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
096:004For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
096:005For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
096:006Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
096:007Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
096:008Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
096:009O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
096:010Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
096:011Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
096:012Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
096:013Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

097:001 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
097:002Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
097:003A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
097:004His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
097:005The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
097:006The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
097:007Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
097:008Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
097:009For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
097:010Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
097:011Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
097:012Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

098:001 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
098:002The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
098:003He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
098:004Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
098:005Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
098:006With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
098:007Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
098:008Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
098:009Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

099:001 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
099:002The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
099:003Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
099:004The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
099:005Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
099:006Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
099:007He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
099:008Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
099:009Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

100:001 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
100:002Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
100:003Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
100:004Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
100:005For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

101:001 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
101:002I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
101:003I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
101:004A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
101:005Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
101:006Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
101:007He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
101:008I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

102:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
102:002Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
102:003For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
102:004My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
102:005By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
102:006I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
102:007I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
102:008Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
102:009For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
102:010Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
102:011My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
102:012But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
102:013Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
102:014For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
102:015So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
102:016When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
102:017He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
102:018This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
102:019For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
102:020To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
102:021To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
102:022When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
102:023He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
102:024I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
102:025Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
102:026They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
102:027But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
102:028The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

103:001 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
103:002Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
103:003Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
103:004Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:005Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
103:006The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
103:007He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
103:008The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
103:009He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
103:010He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
103:011For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
103:012As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
103:013Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
103:014For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
103:015As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
103:016For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
103:017But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
103:018To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
103:019The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
103:020Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
103:021Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
103:022Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

104:001 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
104:002Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:003Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
104:004Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:005Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
104:006Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
104:007At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
104:008They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:009Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:010He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:011They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:012By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:013He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
104:014He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
104:015And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
104:016The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
104:017Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:018The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
104:019He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
104:020Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
104:021The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
104:022The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
104:023Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:024O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
104:025So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:026There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
104:027These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
104:028That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
104:029Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:030Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
104:031The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
104:032He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
104:033I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
104:034My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
104:035Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

105:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
105:002Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
105:003Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
105:004Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
105:005Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
105:006O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
105:007He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
105:008He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
105:009Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
105:010And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
105:011Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
105:012When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
105:013When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
105:014He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
105:015Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
105:016Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
105:017He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
105:018Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
105:019Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
105:020The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
105:021He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
105:022To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
105:023Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:024And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
105:025He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
105:026He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
105:027They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
105:028He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
105:029He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
105:030Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
105:031He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
105:032He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
105:033He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
105:034He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
105:035And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
105:036He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
105:037He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
105:038Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
105:039He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
105:040The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:041He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
105:042For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
105:043And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
105:044And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
105:045That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

106:001 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:002Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
106:003Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
106:004Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
106:005That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
106:006We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:007Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
106:008Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
106:009He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:010And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:011And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
106:012Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
106:013They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
106:014But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
106:015And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
106:016They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
106:017The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
106:018And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
106:019They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
106:020Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
106:021They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
106:022Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
106:023Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
106:024Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
106:025But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
106:026Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
106:027To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
106:028They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
106:029Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
106:030Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
106:031And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
106:032They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
106:033Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
106:034They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
106:035But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
106:036And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
106:037Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
106:038And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
106:039Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
106:040Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
106:041And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
106:042Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
106:043Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:044Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
106:045And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
106:046He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
106:047Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
106:048Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

107:001 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
107:002Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
107:003And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
107:004They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
107:005Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
107:006Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:007And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
107:008Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:009For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
107:010Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
107:011Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
107:012Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
107:013Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
107:014He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
107:015Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:016For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
107:017Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:018Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
107:019Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
107:020He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
107:021Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:022And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
107:023They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
107:024These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
107:025For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
107:026They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
107:027They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
107:028Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
107:029He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
107:030Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
107:031Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:032Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
107:033He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
107:034A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:035He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
107:036And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
107:037And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
107:038He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:039Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
107:040He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
107:041Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
107:042The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:043Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

108:001 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
108:002Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
108:003I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
108:004For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
108:005Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
108:006That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
108:007God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
108:008Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
108:009Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
108:010Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
108:011Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
108:012Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
108:013Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

109:001 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
109:002For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
109:003They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
109:004For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
109:005And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
109:006Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
109:007When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
109:008Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
109:009Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
109:010Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
109:011Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
109:012Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
109:013Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:014Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:015Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
109:016Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
109:017As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
109:018As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
109:019Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
109:020Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
109:021But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
109:022For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
109:023I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
109:024My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
109:025I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
109:026Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
109:027That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
109:028Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
109:029Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
109:030I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
109:031For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

110:001 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
110:002The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
110:003Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
110:004The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
110:005The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
110:006He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
110:007He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

111:001 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
111:002The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
111:003His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
111:004He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
111:005He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
111:006He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
111:007The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
111:008They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
111:009He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
111:010The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

112:001 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
112:002His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
112:003Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
112:004Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:005A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
112:006Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
112:007He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
112:008His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
112:009He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
112:010The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

113:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
113:002Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
113:003From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
113:004The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
113:005Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
113:006Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
113:007He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
113:008That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
113:009He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

114:001 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
114:002Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
114:003The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
114:004The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
114:005What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
114:006Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
114:007Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
114:008Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

115:001 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
115:002Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
115:003But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
115:004Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
115:005They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
115:006They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
115:007They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
115:008They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
115:009O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
115:010O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
115:011Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
115:012The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
115:013He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
115:014The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
115:015Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
115:016The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
115:017The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
115:018But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

116:001 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
116:002Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
116:003The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
116:004Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
116:005Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
116:006The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
116:007Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
116:008For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
116:009I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
116:010I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
116:011I said in my haste, All men are liars.
116:012What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
116:013I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
116:014I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
116:015Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
116:016O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
116:017I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
116:018I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
116:019In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

117:001 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
117:002For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

118:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
118:002Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
118:003Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
118:004Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
118:005I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
118:006The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
118:007The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
118:008It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
118:009It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
118:010All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
118:011They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
118:012They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
118:013Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
118:014The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
118:015The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
118:016The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
118:017I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
118:018The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
118:019Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
118:020This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
118:021I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
118:022The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
118:023This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
118:024This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
118:025Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
118:026Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
118:027God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
118:028Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
118:029O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

119:001 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
119:002Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
119:003They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
119:004Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
119:005O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
119:006Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
119:007I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
119:008I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
119:009Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
119:010With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
119:011Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
119:012Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
119:013With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
119:014I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
119:015I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
119:016I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
119:017Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
119:018Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
119:019I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:020My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
119:021Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
119:022Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
119:023Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
119:024Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
119:025My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
119:026I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
119:027Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
119:028My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
119:029Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
119:030I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
119:031I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
119:032I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
119:033Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
119:034Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
119:035Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
119:036Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:037Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
119:038Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
119:039Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
119:040Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
119:041Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
119:042So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
119:043And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
119:044So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
119:045And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
119:046I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
119:047And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
119:048My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
119:049Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
119:050This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
119:051The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
119:052I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
119:053Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
119:054Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
119:055I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
119:056This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
119:057Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
119:058I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
119:059I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
119:060I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
119:061The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
119:062At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
119:063I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
119:064The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
119:065Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
119:066Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
119:067Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
119:068Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
119:069The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
119:070Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
119:071It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
119:072The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
119:073Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
119:074They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
119:075I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
119:076Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
119:077Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
119:078Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
119:079Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
119:080Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
119:081My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
119:082Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
119:083For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
119:084How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:085The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
119:086All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
119:087They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
119:088Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
119:089For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
119:090Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
119:091They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
119:092Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
119:093I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
119:094I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
119:095The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
119:096I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
119:097O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
119:098Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
119:099I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
119:100I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
119:101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
119:102I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
119:103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
119:104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
119:105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
119:106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
119:107I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
119:108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
119:109My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
119:110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
119:111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
119:112I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
119:113I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
119:114Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
119:115Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
119:116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
119:118Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119:119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
119:120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
119:121I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
119:123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
119:124Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
119:125I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
119:126It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
119:127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
119:128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
119:129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
119:130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
119:131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
119:132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
119:133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
119:135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
119:136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
119:137Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
119:138Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
119:139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
119:140Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
119:141I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
119:142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
119:143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
119:144The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
119:145I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
119:146I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
119:147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
119:148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
119:149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
119:150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
119:151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
119:152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
119:153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
119:154Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
119:155Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
119:156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
119:157Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
119:158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
119:159Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
119:160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
119:161Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
119:162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
119:163I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
119:164Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
119:165Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
119:166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
119:167My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
119:168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
119:169Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
119:170Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
119:171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
119:172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
119:173Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
119:174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
119:175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
119:176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

120:001 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
120:002Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
120:003What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
120:004Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:005Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
120:006My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
120:007I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

121:001 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
121:002My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
121:003He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
121:004Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
121:005The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
121:006The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
121:007The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
121:008The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

122:001 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
122:002Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
122:003Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
122:004Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
122:005For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
122:006Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
122:007Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
122:008For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
122:009Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:001 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
123:002Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
123:003Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
123:004Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

124:001 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
124:002If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
124:003Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
124:004Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:005Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:006Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
124:007Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:008Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

125:001 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
125:002As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
125:003For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
125:004Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
125:005As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

126:001 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
126:002Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
126:003The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
126:004Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
126:005They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
126:006He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

127:001 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
127:002It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
127:003Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
127:004As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
127:005Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

128:001 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
128:002For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
128:003Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
128:004Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
128:005The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
128:006Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

129:001 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
129:002Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:003The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
129:004The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
129:005Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:006Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
129:007Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
129:008Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

130:001 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
130:002Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
130:003If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
130:004But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
130:005I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
130:006My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
130:007Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
130:008And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

131:001 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
131:002Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
131:003Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

132:001 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
132:002How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
132:003Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
132:004I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:005Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
132:006Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
132:007We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
132:008Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
132:009Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
132:010For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
132:011The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
132:012If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
132:013For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
132:014This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
132:015I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:016I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
132:017There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
132:018His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

133:001 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
133:002It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
133:003As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

134:001 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
134:002Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
134:003The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

135:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
135:002Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
135:003Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
135:004For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
135:005For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
135:006Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
135:007He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
135:008Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
135:009Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
135:010Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
135:011Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
135:012And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
135:013Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
135:014For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
135:015The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
135:016They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
135:017They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
135:018They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
135:019Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
135:020Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
135:021Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

136:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:002O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:003O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:004To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:005To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:006To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:007To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:008The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:009The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:010To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:011And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:012With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:013To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:014And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:015But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:016To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:017To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:018And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:019Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:020And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:021And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:022Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:023Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:024And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:025Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:026O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

137:001 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
137:002We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
137:003For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
137:004How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
137:005If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
137:006If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:007Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
137:008O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
137:009Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

138:001 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
138:002I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
138:003In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
138:004All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
138:005Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
138:006Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
138:007Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
138:008The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

139:001 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
139:002Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
139:003Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
139:004For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
139:005Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
139:006Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
139:007Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
139:008If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
139:009If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:010Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
139:011If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:012Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
139:013For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
139:014I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:015My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:016Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
139:017How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
139:018If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
139:019Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
139:020For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
139:021Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
139:022I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
139:023Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
139:024And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

140:001 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
140:002Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
140:003They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
140:004Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
140:005The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
140:006I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
140:007O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
140:008Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
140:009As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
140:010Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
140:011Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
140:012I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
140:013Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

141:001 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
141:002Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
141:003Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
141:004Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
141:005Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
141:006When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
141:007Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
141:008But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
141:009Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:010Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
142:002I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
142:003When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
142:004I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
142:005I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
142:006Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
142:007Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
143:002And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
143:003For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
143:004Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
143:005I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
143:006I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
143:007Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
143:008Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
143:009Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
143:010Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
143:011Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
143:012And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

144:001 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
144:002My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
144:003LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
144:004Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
144:005Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
144:006Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
144:007Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
144:008Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:009I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
144:010It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:011Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
144:012That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
144:013That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
144:014That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
144:015Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

145:001 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
145:002Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
145:003Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
145:004One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
145:005I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
145:006And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
145:007They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
145:008The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
145:009The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
145:010All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
145:011They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
145:012To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
145:013Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
145:014The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
145:015The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
145:016Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
145:017The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
145:018The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
145:019He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
145:020The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
145:021My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

146:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
146:002While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
146:003Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
146:004His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
146:005Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
146:006Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
146:007Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
146:008The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
146:009The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
146:010The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

147:001 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
147:002The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
147:003He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
147:004He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
147:005Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
147:006The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
147:007Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
147:008Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
147:009He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
147:010He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:011The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
147:012Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
147:013For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
147:014He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
147:015He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
147:016He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
147:017He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
147:018He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:019He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
147:020He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

148:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
148:002Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
148:003Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
148:004Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
148:005Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
148:006He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
148:007Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
148:008Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
148:009Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
148:010Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
148:011Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
148:012Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
148:013Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
148:014He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

149:001 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
149:002Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
149:003Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
149:004For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
149:005Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
149:006Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
149:007To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
149:008To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
149:009To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

150:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
150:002Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
150:003Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
150:004Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
150:005Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
150:006Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
