077:001 | I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. |
077:002 | In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. |
077:003 | I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. |
077:004 | Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. |
077:005 | I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. |
077:006 | I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. |
077:007 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? |
077:008 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? |
077:009 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. |
077:010 | And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. |
077:011 | I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. |
077:012 | I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. |
077:013 | Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? |
077:014 | Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. |
077:015 | Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. |
077:016 | The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. |
077:017 | The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. |
077:018 | The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. |
077:019 | Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. |
077:020 | Thou 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. |
078:002 | I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: |
078:003 | Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. |
078:004 | We 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. |
078:005 | For 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: |
078:006 | That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: |
078:007 | That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: |
078:008 | And 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. |
078:009 | The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. |
078:010 | They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; |
078:011 | And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. |
078:012 | Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. |
078:013 | He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. |
078:014 | In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. |
078:015 | He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. |
078:016 | He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. |
078:017 | And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. |
078:018 | And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. |
078:019 | Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? |
078:020 | Behold, 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? |
078:021 | Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; |
078:022 | Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: |
078:023 | Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, |
078:024 | And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. |
078:025 | Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. |
078:026 | He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. |
078:027 | He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: |
078:028 | And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. |
078:029 | So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; |
078:030 | They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, |
078:031 | The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. |
078:032 | For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. |
078:033 | Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. |
078:034 | When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. |
078:035 | And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. |
078:036 | Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. |
078:037 | For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. |
078:038 | But 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. |
078:039 | For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. |
078:040 | How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! |
078:041 | Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. |
078:042 | They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. |
078:043 | How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan. |
078:044 | And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. |
078:045 | He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. |
078:046 | He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. |
078:047 | He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. |
078:048 | He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. |
078:049 | He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. |
078:050 | He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; |
078:051 | And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: |
078:052 | But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. |
078:053 | And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. |
078:054 | And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. |
078:055 | He 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. |
078:056 | Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: |
078:057 | But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. |
078:058 | For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. |
078:059 | When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: |
078:060 | So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; |
078:061 | And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. |
078:062 | He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. |
078:063 | The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. |
078:064 | Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. |
078:065 | Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. |
078:066 | And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. |
078:067 | Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: |
078:068 | But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. |
078:069 | And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. |
078:070 | He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: |
078:071 | From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. |
078:072 | So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. |
080:001 | Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
080:002 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
080:003 | Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
080:004 | O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
080:005 | Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
080:006 | Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
080:007 | Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
080:008 | Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
080:009 | Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. |
080:010 | The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. |
080:011 | She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. |
080:012 | Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? |
080:013 | The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. |
080:014 | Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; |
080:015 | And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. |
080:016 | It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
080:017 | Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. |
080:018 | So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. |
080:019 | Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
082:001 | God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. |
082:002 | How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah |
082:003 | Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. |
082:004 | Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. |
082:005 | They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. |
082:006 | I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. |
082:007 | But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. |
082:008 | Arise, 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. |
083:002 | For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
083:003 | They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
083:004 | They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
083:005 | For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: |
083:006 | The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
083:007 | Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
083:008 | Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
083:009 | Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
083:010 | Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. |
083:011 | Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
083:012 | Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
083:013 | O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. |
083:014 | As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; |
083:015 | So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
083:016 | Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
083:017 | Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: |
083:018 | That 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! |
084:002 | My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. |
084:003 | Yea, 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. |
084:004 | Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. |
084:005 | Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. |
084:006 | Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. |
084:007 | They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. |
084:008 | O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. |
084:009 | Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. |
084:010 | For 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. |
084:011 | For 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. |
084:012 | O 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. |
085:002 | Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. |
085:003 | Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. |
085:004 | Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. |
085:005 | Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? |
085:006 | Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? |
085:007 | Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. |
085:008 | I 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. |
085:009 | Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. |
085:010 | Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. |
085:011 | Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. |
085:012 | Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. |
085:013 | Righteousness 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. |
086:002 | Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
086:003 | Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. |
086:004 | Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
086:005 | For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. |
086:006 | Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. |
086:007 | In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. |
086:008 | Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. |
086:009 | All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. |
086:010 | For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. |
086:011 | Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. |
086:012 | I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
086:013 | For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. |
086:014 | O 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. |
086:015 | But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. |
086:016 | O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. |
086:017 | Shew 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. |
087:002 | The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. |
087:003 | Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. |
087:004 | I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. |
087:005 | And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. |
087:006 | The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. |
087:007 | As 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: |
088:002 | Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; |
088:003 | For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. |
088:004 | I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: |
088:005 | Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. |
088:006 | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. |
088:007 | Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. |
088:008 | Thou 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. |
088:009 | Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
088:010 | Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. |
088:011 | Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? |
088:012 | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
088:013 | But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. |
088:014 | LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? |
088:015 | I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. |
088:016 | Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
088:017 | They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. |
088:018 | Lover 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. |
089:002 | For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. |
089:003 | I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, |
089:004 | Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. |
089:005 | And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. |
089:006 | For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? |
089:007 | God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. |
089:008 | O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? |
089:009 | Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. |
089:010 | Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. |
089:011 | The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
089:012 | The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. |
089:013 | Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
089:014 | Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. |
089:015 | Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. |
089:016 | In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. |
089:017 | For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. |
089:018 | For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. |
089:019 | Then 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. |
089:020 | I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: |
089:021 | With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. |
089:022 | The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
089:023 | And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. |
089:024 | But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
089:025 | I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. |
089:026 | He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. |
089:027 | Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. |
089:028 | My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. |
089:029 | His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. |
089:030 | If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; |
089:031 | If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
089:032 | Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. |
089:033 | Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
089:034 | My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
089:035 | Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. |
089:036 | His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. |
089:037 | It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. |
089:038 | But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. |
089:039 | Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. |
089:040 | Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. |
089:041 | All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. |
089:042 | Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. |
089:043 | Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. |
089:044 | Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. |
089:045 | The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. |
089:046 | How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
089:047 | Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? |
089:048 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. |
089:049 | Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? |
089:050 | Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; |
089:051 | Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
089:052 | Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
090:001 | Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. |
090:002 | Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. |
090:003 | Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. |
090:004 | For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
090:005 | Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. |
090:006 | In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. |
090:007 | For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. |
090:008 | Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. |
090:009 | For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. |
090:010 | The 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. |
090:011 | Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. |
090:012 | So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. |
090:013 | Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. |
090:014 | O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. |
090:015 | Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. |
090:016 | Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. |
090:017 | And 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. |
092:001 | IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: |
092:002 | To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
092:003 | Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
092:004 | For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
092:005 | O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
092:006 | A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
092:007 | When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
092:008 | But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
092:009 | For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
092:010 | But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
092:011 | Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. |
092:012 | The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
092:013 | Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
092:014 | They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
092:015 | To 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. |
093:002 | Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. |
093:003 | The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. |
093:004 | The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. |
093:005 | Thy 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. |
094:002 | Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
094:003 | LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
094:004 | How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
094:005 | They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. |
094:006 | They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
094:007 | Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. |
094:008 | Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
094:009 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
094:010 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
094:011 | The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
094:012 | Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; |
094:013 | That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. |
094:014 | For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
094:015 | But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
094:016 | Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
094:017 | Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
094:018 | When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. |
094:019 | In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. |
094:020 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? |
094:021 | They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
094:022 | But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. |
094:023 | And 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. |
095:002 | Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. |
095:003 | For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. |
095:004 | In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. |
095:005 | The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. |
095:006 | O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. |
095:007 | For 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, |
095:008 | Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: |
095:009 | When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. |
095:010 | Forty 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: |
095:011 | Unto 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. |
096:002 | Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. |
096:003 | Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. |
096:004 | For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. |
096:005 | For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. |
096:006 | Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. |
096:007 | Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. |
096:008 | Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. |
096:009 | O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. |
096:010 | Say 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. |
096:011 | Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. |
096:012 | Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice |
096:013 | Before 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. |
097:002 | Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. |
097:003 | A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. |
097:004 | His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. |
097:005 | The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. |
097:006 | The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. |
097:007 | Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. |
097:008 | Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. |
097:009 | For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. |
097:010 | Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. |
097:011 | Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. |
097:012 | Rejoice 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. |
098:002 | The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. |
098:003 | He 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. |
098:004 | Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. |
098:005 | Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. |
098:006 | With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. |
098:007 | Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. |
098:008 | Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together |
098:009 | Before 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. |
099:002 | The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. |
099:003 | Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. |
099:004 | The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. |
099:005 | Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. |
099:006 | Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. |
099:007 | He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. |
099:008 | Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. |
099:009 | Exalt 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. |
100:002 | Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. |
100:003 | Know 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. |
100:004 | Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. |
100:005 | For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. |
102:001 | Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. |
102:002 | Hide 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. |
102:003 | For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. |
102:004 | My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. |
102:005 | By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. |
102:006 | I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. |
102:007 | I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. |
102:008 | Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. |
102:009 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. |
102:010 | Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. |
102:011 | My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. |
102:012 | But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. |
102:013 | Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. |
102:014 | For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. |
102:015 | So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. |
102:016 | When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. |
102:017 | He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. |
102:018 | This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
102:019 | For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; |
102:020 | To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; |
102:021 | To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; |
102:022 | When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. |
102:023 | He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. |
102:024 | I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. |
102:025 | Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. |
102:026 | They 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: |
102:027 | But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. |
102:028 | The 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. |
103:002 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: |
103:003 | Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; |
103:004 | Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
103:005 | Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
103:006 | The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. |
103:007 | He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. |
103:008 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
103:009 | He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. |
103:010 | He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
103:011 | For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. |
103:012 | As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. |
103:013 | Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |
103:014 | For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. |
103:015 | As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. |
103:016 | For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. |
103:017 | But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; |
103:018 | To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. |
103:019 | The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
103:020 | Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
103:021 | Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. |
103:022 | Bless 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. |
104:002 | Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: |
104:003 | Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: |
104:004 | Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: |
104:005 | Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. |
104:006 | Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. |
104:007 | At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. |
104:008 | They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. |
104:009 | Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. |
104:010 | He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. |
104:011 | They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. |
104:012 | By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. |
104:013 | He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. |
104:014 | He 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; |
104:015 | And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. |
104:016 | The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; |
104:017 | Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. |
104:018 | The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. |
104:019 | He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. |
104:020 | Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. |
104:021 | The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. |
104:022 | The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. |
104:023 | Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. |
104:024 | O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. |
104:025 | So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. |
104:026 | There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. |
104:027 | These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. |
104:028 | That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. |
104:029 | Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. |
104:030 | Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. |
104:031 | The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. |
104:032 | He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. |
104:033 | I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. |
104:034 | My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. |
104:035 | Let 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. |
105:002 | Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
105:003 | Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
105:004 | Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. |
105:005 | Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; |
105:006 | O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. |
105:007 | He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
105:008 | He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
105:009 | Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; |
105:010 | And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
105:011 | Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: |
105:012 | When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. |
105:013 | When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; |
105:014 | He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; |
105:015 | Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
105:016 | Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. |
105:017 | He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: |
105:018 | Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
105:019 | Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. |
105:020 | The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. |
105:021 | He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: |
105:022 | To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. |
105:023 | Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
105:024 | And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. |
105:025 | He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. |
105:026 | He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. |
105:027 | They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
105:028 | He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. |
105:029 | He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. |
105:030 | Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. |
105:031 | He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. |
105:032 | He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. |
105:033 | He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. |
105:034 | He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, |
105:035 | And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
105:036 | He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
105:037 | He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
105:038 | Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. |
105:039 | He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. |
105:040 | The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
105:041 | He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
105:042 | For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
105:043 | And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: |
105:044 | And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; |
105:045 | That 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. |
106:002 | Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? |
106:003 | Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. |
106:004 | Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; |
106:005 | That 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. |
106:006 | We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. |
106:007 | Our 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. |
106:008 | Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. |
106:009 | He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. |
106:010 | And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. |
106:011 | And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. |
106:012 | Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. |
106:013 | They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: |
106:014 | But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. |
106:015 | And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. |
106:016 | They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. |
106:017 | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram. |
106:018 | And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. |
106:019 | They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. |
106:020 | Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. |
106:021 | They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; |
106:022 | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. |
106:023 | Therefore 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. |
106:024 | Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: |
106:025 | But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. |
106:026 | Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: |
106:027 | To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. |
106:028 | They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. |
106:029 | Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. |
106:030 | Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. |
106:031 | And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. |
106:032 | They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: |
106:033 | Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. |
106:034 | They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: |
106:035 | But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. |
106:036 | And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. |
106:037 | Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, |
106:038 | And 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. |
106:039 | Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. |
106:040 | Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. |
106:041 | And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. |
106:042 | Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
106:043 | Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. |
106:044 | Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: |
106:045 | And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. |
106:046 | He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. |
106:047 | Save 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. |
106:048 | Blessed 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. |
107:002 | Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; |
107:003 | And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. |
107:004 | They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. |
107:005 | Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. |
107:006 | Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
107:007 | And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
107:008 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:009 | For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. |
107:010 | Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; |
107:011 | Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: |
107:012 | Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. |
107:013 | Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. |
107:014 | He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. |
107:015 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:016 | For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. |
107:017 | Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. |
107:018 | Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. |
107:019 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. |
107:020 | He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. |
107:021 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:022 | And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. |
107:023 | They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; |
107:024 | These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. |
107:025 | For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. |
107:026 | They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. |
107:027 | They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. |
107:028 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. |
107:029 | He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. |
107:030 | Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. |
107:031 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:032 | Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. |
107:033 | He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; |
107:034 | A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
107:035 | He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. |
107:036 | And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; |
107:037 | And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. |
107:038 | He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
107:039 | Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. |
107:040 | He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. |
107:041 | Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. |
107:042 | The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
107:043 | Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
110:001 | The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. |
110:002 | The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. |
110:003 | Thy 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. |
110:004 | The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. |
110:005 | The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. |
110:006 | He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. |
110:007 | He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. |
113:001 | Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. |
113:002 | Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. |
113:003 | From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. |
113:004 | The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. |
113:005 | Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, |
113:006 | Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! |
113:007 | He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; |
113:008 | That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. |
113:009 | He 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; |
114:002 | Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. |
114:003 | The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. |
114:004 | The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. |
114:005 | What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
114:006 | Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |
114:007 | Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; |
114:008 | Which 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. |
115:002 | Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
115:003 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. |
115:004 | Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
115:005 | They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
115:006 | They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
115:007 | They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. |
115:008 | They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. |
115:009 | O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:010 | O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:011 | Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:012 | The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. |
115:013 | He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. |
115:014 | The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. |
115:015 | Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. |
115:016 | The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. |
115:017 | The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. |
115:018 | But 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. |
116:002 | Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. |
116:003 | The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. |
116:004 | Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. |
116:005 | Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. |
116:006 | The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. |
116:007 | Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
116:008 | For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. |
116:009 | I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. |
116:010 | I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: |
116:011 | I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
116:012 | What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? |
116:013 | I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:014 | I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
116:015 | Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. |
116:016 | O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. |
116:017 | I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:018 | I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
116:019 | In 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. |
117:002 | For 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. |
118:002 | Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:003 | Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:004 | Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:005 | I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. |
118:006 | The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? |
118:007 | The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. |
118:008 | It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. |
118:009 | It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. |
118:010 | All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. |
118:011 | They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
118:012 | They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
118:013 | Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. |
118:014 | The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. |
118:015 | The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
118:016 | The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
118:017 | I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. |
118:018 | The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. |
118:019 | Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: |
118:020 | This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. |
118:021 | I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. |
118:022 | The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. |
118:023 | This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. |
118:024 | This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
118:025 | Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. |
118:026 | Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. |
118:027 | God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. |
118:028 | Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. |
118:029 | O 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. |
119:002 | Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. |
119:003 | They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. |
119:004 | Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. |
119:005 | O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! |
119:006 | Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. |
119:007 | I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. |
119:008 | I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. |
119:009 | Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. |
119:010 | With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. |
119:011 | Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. |
119:012 | Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. |
119:013 | With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. |
119:014 | I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. |
119:015 | I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. |
119:016 | I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. |
119:017 | Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. |
119:018 | Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. |
119:019 | I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. |
119:020 | My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. |
119:021 | Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. |
119:022 | Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. |
119:023 | Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. |
119:024 | Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. |
119:025 | My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. |
119:026 | I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. |
119:027 | Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. |
119:028 | My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. |
119:029 | Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. |
119:030 | I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. |
119:031 | I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. |
119:032 | I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. |
119:033 | Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. |
119:034 | Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. |
119:035 | Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. |
119:036 | Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. |
119:037 | Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. |
119:038 | Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. |
119:039 | Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. |
119:040 | Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. |
119:041 | Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. |
119:042 | So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. |
119:043 | And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. |
119:044 | So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. |
119:045 | And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. |
119:046 | I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. |
119:047 | And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. |
119:048 | My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
119:049 | Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. |
119:050 | This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. |
119:051 | The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. |
119:052 | I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. |
119:053 | Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. |
119:054 | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
119:055 | I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. |
119:056 | This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |
119:057 | Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. |
119:058 | I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. |
119:059 | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
119:060 | I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
119:061 | The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
119:062 | At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
119:063 | I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. |
119:064 | The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. |
119:065 | Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
119:066 | Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. |
119:067 | Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. |
119:068 | Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. |
119:069 | The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. |
119:070 | Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. |
119:071 | It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. |
119:072 | The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. |
119:073 | Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. |
119:074 | They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. |
119:075 | I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. |
119:076 | Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. |
119:077 | Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. |
119:078 | Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. |
119:079 | Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. |
119:080 | Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. |
119:081 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
119:082 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? |
119:083 | For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. |
119:084 | How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
119:085 | The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. |
119:086 | All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
119:087 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
119:088 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
119:089 | For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. |
119:090 | Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. |
119:091 | They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. |
119:092 | Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. |
119:093 | I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. |
119:094 | I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. |
119:095 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. |
119:096 | I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. |
119:097 | O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. |
119:098 | Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. |
119:099 | I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. |
119:100 | I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. |
119:101 | I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. |
119:102 | I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. |
119:103 | How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! |
119:104 | Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. |
119:105 | Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
119:106 | I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. |
119:107 | I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
119:108 | Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. |
119:109 | My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
119:110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. |
119:111 | Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. |
119:112 | I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. |
119:113 | I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. |
119:114 | Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
119:115 | Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. |
119:116 | Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. |
119:117 | Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. |
119:118 | Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. |
119:119 | Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. |
119:120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
119:121 | I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. |
119:122 | Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. |
119:123 | Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. |
119:124 | Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. |
119:125 | I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. |
119:126 | It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. |
119:127 | Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. |
119:128 | Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. |
119:129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
119:130 | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
119:131 | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
119:132 | Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. |
119:133 | Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
119:134 | Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. |
119:135 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. |
119:136 | Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. |
119:137 | Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. |
119:138 | Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. |
119:139 | My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
119:140 | Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |
119:141 | I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. |
119:142 | Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. |
119:143 | Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. |
119:144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
119:145 | I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. |
119:146 | I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
119:147 | I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. |
119:148 | Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. |
119:149 | Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. |
119:150 | They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. |
119:151 | Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. |
119:152 | Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. |
119:153 | Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. |
119:154 | Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. |
119:155 | Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. |
119:156 | Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. |
119:157 | Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. |
119:158 | I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. |
119:159 | Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. |
119:160 | Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. |
119:161 | Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. |
119:162 | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
119:163 | I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. |
119:164 | Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
119:165 | Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. |
119:166 | LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. |
119:167 | My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. |
119:168 | I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. |
119:169 | Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. |
119:170 | Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. |
119:171 | My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. |
119:172 | My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. |
119:173 | Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. |
119:174 | I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. |
119:175 | Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. |
119:176 | I 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. |
120:002 | Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. |
120:003 | What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? |
120:004 | Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. |
120:005 | Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! |
120:006 | My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. |
120:007 | I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. |
122:001 | I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. |
122:002 | Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. |
122:003 | Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: |
122:004 | Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. |
122:005 | For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. |
122:006 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. |
122:007 | Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. |
122:008 | For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. |
122:009 | Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. |
124:001 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
124:002 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
124:003 | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
124:004 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
124:005 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
124:006 | Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
124:007 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
124:008 | Our 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. |
125:002 | As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. |
125:003 | For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. |
125:004 | Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. |
125:005 | As 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. |
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. |
127:002 | It 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. |
127:003 | Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. |
127:004 | As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. |
127:005 | Happy 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. |
129:001 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
129:002 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
129:003 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
129:004 | The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
129:005 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
129:006 | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: |
129:007 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
129:008 | Neither 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. |
130:002 | Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. |
130:003 | If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? |
130:004 | But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. |
130:005 | I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. |
130:006 | My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. |
130:007 | Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. |
130:008 | And 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. |
131:002 | Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. |
131:003 | Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. |
132:001 | Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: |
132:002 | How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; |
132:003 | Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; |
132:004 | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, |
132:005 | Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. |
132:006 | Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. |
132:007 | We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. |
132:008 | Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
132:009 | Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. |
132:010 | For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
132:011 | The 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. |
132:012 | If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. |
132:013 | For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. |
132:014 | This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. |
132:015 | I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
132:016 | I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
132:017 | There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. |
132:018 | His 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! |
133:002 | It 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; |
133:003 | As 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. |
134:002 | Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. |
134:003 | The 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. |
135:002 | Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. |
135:003 | Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. |
135:004 | For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. |
135:005 | For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. |
135:006 | Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. |
135:007 | He 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. |
135:008 | Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. |
135:009 | Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. |
135:010 | Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; |
135:011 | Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: |
135:012 | And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. |
135:013 | Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. |
135:014 | For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. |
135:015 | The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
135:016 | They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; |
135:017 | They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. |
135:018 | They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. |
135:019 | Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: |
135:020 | Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. |
135:021 | Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. |
137:001 | By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. |
137:002 | We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. |
137:003 | For 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. |
137:004 | How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? |
137:005 | If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. |
137:006 | If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. |
137:007 | Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. |
137:008 | O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. |
137:009 | Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. |
139:001 | O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. |
139:002 | Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. |
139:003 | Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. |
139:004 | For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. |
139:005 | Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. |
139:006 | Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. |
139:007 | Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
139:008 | If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. |
139:009 | If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; |
139:010 | Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. |
139:011 | If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. |
139:012 | Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. |
139:013 | For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. |
139:014 | I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. |
139:015 | My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
139:016 | Thine 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. |
139:017 | How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! |
139:018 | If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. |
139:019 | Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. |
139:020 | For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. |
139:021 | Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? |
139:022 | I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. |
139:023 | Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: |
139:024 | And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
142:001 | I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. |
142:002 | I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. |
142:003 | When 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. |
142:004 | I 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. |
142:005 | I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. |
142:006 | Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. |
142:007 | Bring 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. |
143:002 | And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. |
143:003 | For 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. |
143:004 | Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. |
143:005 | I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. |
143:006 | I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. |
143:007 | Hear 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. |
143:008 | Cause 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. |
143:009 | Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. |
143:010 | Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
143:011 | Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. |
143:012 | And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. |
145:001 | I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. |
145:002 | Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. |
145:003 | Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. |
145:004 | One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. |
145:005 | I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. |
145:006 | And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. |
145:007 | They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. |
145:008 | The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. |
145:009 | The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. |
145:010 | All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. |
145:011 | They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; |
145:012 | To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. |
145:013 | Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. |
145:014 | The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. |
145:015 | The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. |
145:016 | Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. |
145:017 | The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. |
145:018 | The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. |
145:019 | He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. |
145:020 | The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. |
145:021 | My 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. |
146:002 | While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. |
146:003 | Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. |
146:004 | His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. |
146:005 | Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: |
146:006 | Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: |
146:007 | Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: |
146:008 | The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: |
146:009 | The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
146:010 | The 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. |
147:002 | The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. |
147:003 | He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
147:004 | He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. |
147:005 | Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. |
147:006 | The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. |
147:007 | Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: |
147:008 | Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. |
147:009 | He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. |
147:010 | He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. |
147:011 | The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. |
147:012 | Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. |
147:013 | For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. |
147:014 | He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. |
147:015 | He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. |
147:016 | He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. |
147:017 | He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? |
147:018 | He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. |
147:019 | He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. |
147:020 | He 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. |
148:002 | Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. |
148:003 | Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. |
148:004 | Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. |
148:005 | Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. |
148:006 | He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. |
148:007 | Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: |
148:008 | Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: |
148:009 | Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: |
148:010 | Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: |
148:011 | Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: |
148:012 | Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: |
148:013 | Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. |
148:014 | He 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. |
149:002 | Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. |
149:003 | Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. |
149:004 | For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. |
149:005 | Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. |
149:006 | Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; |
149:007 | To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; |
149:008 | To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; |
149:009 | To 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. |
150:002 | Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. |
150:003 | Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. |
150:004 | Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. |
150:005 | Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. |
150:006 | Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. |
