 1:1  Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of
the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful.
 1:2  But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his
law doth he meditate day and night.
 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf
also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
 1:4  The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which
the wind driveth away.
 1:5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
 1:6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the
way of the ungodly shall perish.
 2:1  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
thing?
 2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers
take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed, [saying],
 2:3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their
cords from us.
 2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord
shall have them in derision.
 2:5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them
in his sore displeasure.
 2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
 2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me,
Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
 2:8  Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for]
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for]
thy possession.
 2:9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
 2:10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye
judges of the earth.
 2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
 2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the
way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all
they that put their trust in him.
 3:1  A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they
that rise up against me.
 3:2  Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help
for him in God. Selah.
 3:3  But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and
the lifter up of mine head.
 3:4  I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out
of his holy hill. Selah.
 3:5  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD
sustained me.
 3:6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that
have set [themselves] against me round about.
 3:7  Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten
all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the
teeth of the ungodly.
 3:8  Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is]
upon thy people. Selah.
 4:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear
me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged
me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my
prayer.
 4:2  O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into
shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after
leasing? Selah.
 4:3  But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly
for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
 4:4  Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart
upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
 4:5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust
in the LORD.
 4:6  [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good?
LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
 4:7  Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time
[that] their corn and their wine increased.
 4:8  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou,
LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
 5:1  To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
 5:2  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:
for unto thee will I pray.
 5:3  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
 5:4  For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in
wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
 5:5  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.
 5:6  Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
 5:7  But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the
multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward
thy holy temple.
 5:8  Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine
enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
 5:9  For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their
inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open
sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
 5:10  Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own
counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their
transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
 5:11  But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let
them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
 5:12  For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour
wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.
 6:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm
of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten
me in thy hot displeasure.
 6:2  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal
me; for my bones are vexed.
 6:3  My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
 6:4  Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy
mercies' sake.
 6:5  For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the
grave who shall give thee thanks?
 6:6  I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed
to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
 6:7  Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old
because of all mine enemies.
 6:8  Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD
hath heard the voice of my weeping.
 6:9  The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will
receive my prayer.
 6:10  Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return [and] be ashamed suddenly.
 7:1  Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD,
concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in
thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute
me, and deliver me:
 7:2  Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,
while [there is] none to deliver.
 7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity
in my hands;
 7:4  If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with
me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine
enemy:)
 7:5  Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let
him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in
the dust. Selah.
 7:6  Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of
the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment
[that] thou hast commanded.
 7:7  So shall the congregation of the people compass thee
about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
 7:8  The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD,
according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity
[that is] in me.
 7:9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and
reins.
 7:10  My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in
heart.
 7:11  God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the
wicked] every day.
 7:12  If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his
bow, and made it ready.
 7:13  He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
 7:14  Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
 7:15  He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the
ditch [which] he made.
 7:16  His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his
violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
 7:17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:
and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
 8:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O
LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
 8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou
ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest
still the enemy and the avenger.
 8:3  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
 8:4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?
 8:5  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
 8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy
hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
 8:7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
 8:8  The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and
whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
 8:9  O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the
earth!
 9:1  To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show
forth all thy marvellous works.
 9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to
thy name, O thou most High.
 9:3  When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and
perish at thy presence.
 9:4  For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou
satest in the throne judging right.
 9:5  Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
 9:6  O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:
and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them.
 9:7  But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.
 9:8  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
 9:9  The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a
refuge in times of trouble.
 9:10  And they that know thy name will put their trust in
thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
 9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:
declare among the people his doings.
 9:12  When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth
them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
 9:13  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I
suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the
gates of death:
 9:14  That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
 9:15  The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made:
in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
 9:16  The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he
executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
Higgaion. Selah.
 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the
nations that forget God.
 9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the
expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
 9:19  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be
judged in thy sight.
 9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know
themselves [to be but] men. Selah.
 10:1  Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou
[thyself] in times of trouble?
 10:2  The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let
them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
 10:3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and
blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
 10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will
not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
 10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far
above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at
them.
 10:6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I
shall] never [be] in adversity.
 10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under
his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
 10:8  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily
set against the poor.
 10:9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth
in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him into his net.
 10:10  He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may
fall by his strong ones.
 10:11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he
hideth his face; he will never see [it].
 10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not
the humble.
 10:13  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in
his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
 10:14  Thou hast seen [it]: for thou beholdest mischief and
spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth
himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
 10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]:
seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
 10:16  The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are
perished out of his land.
 10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou
wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
 10:18  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man
of the earth may no more oppress.
 11:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD
put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your
mountain?
 11:2  For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready
their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
 11:3  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous
do?
 11:4  The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is]
in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of
men.
 11:5  The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him
that loveth violence his soul hateth.
 11:6  Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and
brimstone, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion
of their cup.
 11:7  For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his
countenance doth behold the upright.
 12:1  To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.
 12:2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with]
flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
 12:3  The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the
tongue that speaketh proud things:
 12:4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
[are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
 12:5  For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the
needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in
safety [from him that] puffeth at him.
 12:6  The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver
tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
 12:7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them
from this generation for ever.
 12:8  The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.
 13:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt
thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy
face from me?
 13:2  How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having]
sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted
over me?
 13:3  Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine
eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
 13:4  Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and]
those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
 13:5  But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice
in thy salvation.
 13:6  I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me.
 14:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath
said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they
have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
 14:2  The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of
men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek
God.
 14:3  They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become
filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
 14:4  Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat
up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
 14:5  There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the
generation of the righteous.
 14:6  Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD
[is] his refuge.
 14:7  Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
 15:1  A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
 15:2  He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
and speaketh the truth in his heart.
 15:3  [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil
to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his
neighbour.
 15:4  In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he
honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his
own] hurt, and changeth not.
 15:5  [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh
reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall
never be moved.
 16:1  Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I
put my trust.
 16:2  [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my
Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
 16:3  [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to]
the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
 16:4  Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after]
another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,
nor take up their names into my lips.
 16:5  The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my
cup: thou maintainest my lot.
 16:6  The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea,
I have a goodly heritage.
 16:7  I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my
reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
 16:8  I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at
my right hand, I shall not be moved.
 16:9  Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my
flesh also shall rest in hope.
 16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt
thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
 16:11  Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence
[is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures
for evermore.
 17:1  A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto
my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of
feigned lips.
 17:2  Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine
eyes behold the things that are equal.
 17:3  Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in
the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am
purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
 17:4  Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I
have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
 17:5  Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip
not.
 17:6  I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:
incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.
 17:7  Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest
by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from
those that rise up [against them].
 17:8  Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the
shadow of thy wings,
 17:9  From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly
enemies, [who] compass me about.
 17:10  They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth
they speak proudly.
 17:11  They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set
their eyes bowing down to the earth;
 17:12  Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it
were a young lion lurking in secret places.
 17:13  Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver
my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:
 17:14  From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the
world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose
belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of
children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their
babes.
 17:15  As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I
shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
 18:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant
of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in
the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his
enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love
thee, O LORD, my strength.
 18:2  The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my
deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my
buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
 18:3  I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be
praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
 18:4  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of
ungodly men made me afraid.
 18:5  The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of
death prevented me.
 18:6  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my
God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came
before him, [even] into his ears.
 18:7  Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also
of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
 18:8  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out
of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
 18:9  He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness
[was] under his feet.
 18:10  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly
upon the wings of the wind.
 18:11  He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
 18:12  At the brightness [that was] before him his thick
clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
 18:13  The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest
gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
 18:14  Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he
shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
 18:15  Then the channels of waters were seen, and the
foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD,
at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
 18:16  He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many
waters.
 18:17  He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them
which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
 18:18  They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the
LORD was my stay.
 18:19  He brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me.
 18:20  The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
 18:21  For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not
wickedly departed from my God.
 18:22  For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not
put away his statutes from me.
 18:23  I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from
mine iniquity.
 18:24  Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight.
 18:25  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with
an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
 18:26  With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the
froward thou wilt show thyself froward.
 18:27  For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring
down high looks.
 18:28  For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will
enlighten my darkness.
 18:29  For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God
have I leaped over a wall.
 18:30  [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the
LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in
him.
 18:31  For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save
our God?
 18:32  [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh
my way perfect.
 18:33  He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me
upon my high places.
 18:34  He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is
broken by mine arms.
 18:35  Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath
made me great.
 18:36  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did
not slip.
 18:37  I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:
neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
 18:38  I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:
they are fallen under my feet.
 18:39  For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:
thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
 18:40  Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that
I might destroy them that hate me.
 18:41  They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even]
unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
 18:42  Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:
I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
 18:43  Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the
people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a
people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
 18:44  As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the
strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
 18:45  The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of
their close places.
 18:46  The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the
God of my salvation be exalted.
 18:47  [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people
under me.
 18:48  He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest
me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered
me from the violent man.
 18:49  Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among
the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
 18:50  Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth
mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
 19:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens
declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his
handiwork.
 19:2  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night
showeth knowledge.
 19:3  [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice
is not heard.
 19:4  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their
words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun,
 19:5  Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
[and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
 19:6  His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his
circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the
heat thereof.
 19:7  The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
 19:8  The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the
eyes.
 19:9  The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
 19:10  More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much
fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
 19:11  Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in
keeping of them [there is] great reward.
 19:12  Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from
secret [faults].
 19:13  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins];
let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
 19:14  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my
redeemer.
 20:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear
thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend
thee;
 20:2  Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee
out of Zion;
 20:3  Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt
sacrifice; Selah.
 20:4  Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all
thy counsel.
 20:5  We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our
God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy
petitions.
 20:6  Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will
hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his
right hand.
 20:7  Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we
will remember the name of the LORD our God.
 20:8  They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and
stand upright.
 20:9  Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
 21:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall
joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly
shall he rejoice!
 21:2  Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
 21:3  For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:
thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
 21:4  He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him,
[even] length of days for ever and ever.
 21:5  His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and
majesty hast thou laid upon him.
 21:6  For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast
made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
 21:7  For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy
of the most High he shall not be moved.
 21:8  Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right
hand shall find out those that hate thee.
 21:9  Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of
thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and
the fire shall devour them.
 21:10  Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and
their seed from among the children of men.
 21:11  For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
 21:12  Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when]
thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against
the face of them.
 21:13  Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will
we sing and praise thy power.
 22:1  To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of
David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou
so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
 22:2  O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;
and in the night season, and am not silent.
 22:3  But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the
praises of Israel.
 22:4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou
didst deliver them.
 22:5  They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted
in thee, and were not confounded.
 22:6  But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
despised of the people.
 22:7  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out
the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
 22:8  He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let
him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
 22:9  But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou
didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
 22:10  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God
from my mother's belly.
 22:11  Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there
is] none to help.
 22:12  Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan
have beset me round.
 22:13  They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening
and a roaring lion.
 22:14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of
joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my
bowels.
 22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
death.
 22:16  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked
have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
 22:17  I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
 22:18  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture.
 22:19  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,
haste thee to help me.
 22:20  Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the
power of the dog.
 22:21  Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me
from the horns of the unicorns.
 22:22  I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst
of the congregation will I praise thee.
 22:23  Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of
Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
 22:24  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of
the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when
he cried unto him, he heard.
 22:25  My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
 22:26  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise
the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
 22:27  All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto
the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship
before thee.
 22:28  For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the
governor among the nations.
 22:29  All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and
worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before
him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
 22:30  A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the
Lord for a generation.
 22:31  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
 23:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not
want.
 23:2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth
me beside the still waters.
 23:3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
 23:4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
 23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
 23:6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
 24:1  A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
 24:2  For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it
upon the floods.
 24:3  Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall
stand in his holy place?
 24:4  He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
 24:5  He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and
righteousness from the God of his salvation.
 24:6  This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that
seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
 24:7  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
 24:8  Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
 24:9  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
 24:10  Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is]
the King of glory. Selah.
 25:1  [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my
soul.
 25:2  O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let
not mine enemies triumph over me.
 25:3  Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
ashamed which transgress without cause.
 25:4  Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
 25:5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the
God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
 25:6  Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy
lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
 25:7  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my
transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy
goodness' sake, O LORD.
 25:8  Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach
sinners in the way.
 25:9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he
teach his way.
 25:10  All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto
such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
 25:11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for
it [is] great.
 25:12  What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he
teach in the way [that] he shall choose.
 25:13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall
inherit the earth.
 25:14  The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him;
and he will show them his covenant.
 25:15  Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall
pluck my feet out of the net.
 25:16  Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am]
desolate and afflicted.
 25:17  The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou
me out of my distresses.
 25:18  Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all
my sins.
 25:19  Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate
me with cruel hatred.
 25:20  O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed;
for I put my trust in thee.
 25:21  Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait
on thee.
 25:22  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
 26:1  [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked
in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore]
I shall not slide.
 26:2  Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my
heart.
 26:3  For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have
walked in thy truth.
 26:4  I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in
with dissemblers.
 26:5  I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not
sit with the wicked.
 26:6  I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass
thine altar, O LORD:
 26:7  That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and
tell of all thy wondrous works.
 26:8  LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the
place where thine honour dwelleth.
 26:9  Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody
men:
 26:10  In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is
full of bribes.
 26:11  But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem
me, and be merciful unto me.
 26:12  My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations
will I bless the LORD.
 27:1  [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my
life; of whom shall I be afraid?
 27:2  When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
 27:3  Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall
not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I
[be] confident.
 27:4  One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek
after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in
his temple.
 27:5  For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his
pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he
shall set me up upon a rock.
 27:6  And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies
round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto
the LORD.
 27:7  Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy
also upon me, and answer me.
 27:8  [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
 27:9  Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant
away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither
forsake me, O God of my salvation.
 27:10  When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD
will take me up.
 27:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
 27:12  Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for
false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe
out cruelty.
 27:13  [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the
goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
 28:1  [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my
rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I
become like them that go down into the pit.
 28:2  Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto
thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
 28:3  Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers
of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but
mischief [is] in their hearts.
 28:4  Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of
their hands; render to them their desert.
 28:5  Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build
them up.
 28:6  Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice
of my supplications.
 28:7  The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart
trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly
rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
 28:8  The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving
strength of his anointed.
 28:9  Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them
also, and lift them up for ever.
 29:1  A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give
unto the LORD glory and strength.
 29:2  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship
the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
 29:3  The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of
glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.
 29:4  The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the
LORD [is] full of majesty.
 29:5  The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
 29:6  He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and
Sirion like a young unicorn.
 29:7  The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
 29:8  The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD
shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
 29:9  The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and
discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak
of [his] glory.
 29:10  The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth
King for ever.
 29:11  The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD
will bless his people with peace.
 30:1  A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of
David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
 30:2  O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed
me.
 30:3  O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
 30:4  Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks
at the remembrance of his holiness.
 30:5  For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour
[is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in
the morning.
 30:6  And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
 30:7  LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
 30:8  I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
supplication.
 30:9  What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to
the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy
truth?
 30:10  Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my
helper.
 30:11  Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou
hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
 30:12  To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and
not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for
ever.
 31:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O
LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in
thy righteousness.
 31:2  Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou
my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
 31:3  For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for
thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
 31:4  Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for
me: for thou [art] my strength.
 31:5  Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed
me, O LORD God of truth.
 31:6  I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I
trust in the LORD.
 31:7  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
 31:8  And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou
hast set my feet in a large room.
 31:9  Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine
eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.
 31:10  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with
sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my
bones are consumed.
 31:11  I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially
among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that
did see me without fled from me.
 31:12  I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a
broken vessel.
 31:13  For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on
every side: while they took counsel together against me, they
devised to take away my life.
 31:14  But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my
God.
 31:15  My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of
mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
 31:16  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for
thy mercies' sake.
 31:17  Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon
thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in
the grave.
 31:18  Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak
grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the
righteous.
 31:19  [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid
up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them
that trust in thee before the sons of men!
 31:20  Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from
the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
from the strife of tongues.
 31:21  Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his
marvellous kindness in a strong city.
 31:22  For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine
eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications
when I cried unto thee.
 31:23  O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD
preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud
doer.
 31:24  Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.
 32:1  [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose]
transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.
 32:2  Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not
iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
 32:3  When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my
roaring all the day long.
 32:4  For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my
moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
 32:5  I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have
I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the
LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
 32:6  For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in
a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
 32:7  Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from
trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
Selah.
 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which
thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
 32:9  Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have
no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and
bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
 32:10  Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that
trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
 32:11  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and
shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
 33:1  Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is
comely for the upright.
 33:2  Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the
psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.
 33:3  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud
noise.
 33:4  For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works
[are done] in truth.
 33:5  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full
of the goodness of the LORD.
 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all
the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
 33:7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:
he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
 33:8  Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants
of the world stand in awe of him.
 33:9  For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it
stood fast.
 33:10  The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
 33:11  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts
of his heart to all generations.
 33:12  Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and]
the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
 33:13  The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons
of men.
 33:14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all
the inhabitants of the earth.
 33:15  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all
their works.
 33:16  There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a
mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
 33:17  An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he
deliver [any] by his great strength.
 33:18  Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear
him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
 33:19  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them
alive in famine.
 33:20  Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our
shield.
 33:21  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have
trusted in his holy name.
 33:22  Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope
in thee.
 34:1  [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before
Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless
the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in
my mouth.
 34:2  My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble
shall hear [thereof], and be glad.
 34:3  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
together.
 34:4  I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me
from all my fears.
 34:5  They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their
faces were not ashamed.
 34:6  This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved
him out of all his troubles.
 34:7  The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that
fear him, and delivereth them.
 34:8  O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is]
the man [that] trusteth in him.
 34:9  O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want
to them that fear him.
 34:10  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they
that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
 34:11  Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you
the fear of the LORD.
 34:12  What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth
[many] days, that he may see good?
 34:13  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
guile.
 34:14  Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue
it.
 34:15  The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his
ears [are open] unto their cry.
 34:16  The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to
cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
 34:17  [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and
delivereth them out of all their troubles.
 34:18  The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken
heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
 34:19  Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the
LORD delivereth him out of them all.
 34:20  He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
 34:21  Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the
righteous shall be desolate.
 34:22  The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none
of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
 35:1  [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them
that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
 35:2  Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine
help.
 35:3  Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them
that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
 35:4  Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after
my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that
devise my hurt.
 35:5  Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel
of the LORD chase [them].
 35:6  Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of
the LORD persecute them.
 35:7  For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a
pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
 35:8  Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his
net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction
let him fall.
 35:9  And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall
rejoice in his salvation.
 35:10  All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee,
which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,
yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
 35:11  False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge
[things] that I knew not.
 35:12  They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my
soul.
 35:13  But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]
sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer
returned into mine own bosom.
 35:14  I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or]
brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his]
mother.
 35:15  But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered
themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves
together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me],
and ceased not:
 35:16  With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon
me with their teeth.
 35:17  Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from
their destructions, my darling from the lions.
 35:18  I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I
will praise thee among much people.
 35:19  Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice
over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me
without a cause.
 35:20  For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful
matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
 35:21  Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and]
said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
 35:22  [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O
LORD, be not far from me.
 35:23  Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto
my cause, my God and my Lord.
 35:24  Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy
righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
 35:25  Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have
it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
 35:26  Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together
that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and
dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.
 35:27  Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my
righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.
 35:28  And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of
thy praise all the day long.
 36:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of
the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my
heart, [that there is] no fear of God before his eyes.
 36:2  For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his
iniquity be found to be hateful.
 36:3  The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he
hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.
 36:4  He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in
a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
 36:5  Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy
faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
 36:6  Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy
judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and
beast.
 36:7  How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore
the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy
wings.
 36:8  They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of
thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures.
 36:9  For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light
shall we see light.
 36:10  O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee;
and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
 36:11  Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not
the hand of the wicked remove me.
 36:12  There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast
down, and shall not be able to rise.
 37:1  [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of
evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of
iniquity.
 37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and
wither as the green herb.
 37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in
the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
 37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee
the desires of thine heart.
 37:5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he
shall bring [it] to pass.
 37:6  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday.
 37:7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not
thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of
the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
 37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in
any wise to do evil.
 37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon
the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
 37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not
[be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it
[shall] not [be].
 37:11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
 37:12  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon
him with his teeth.
 37:13  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day
is coming.
 37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent
their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such
as be of upright conversation.
 37:15  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their
bows shall be broken.
 37:16  A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the
riches of many wicked.
 37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the
LORD upholdeth the righteous.
 37:18  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be for ever.
 37:19  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the
days of famine they shall be satisfied.
 37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the
LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into
smoke shall they consume away.
 37:21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the
righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
 37:22  For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the
earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
 37:23  The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and
he delighteth in his way.
 37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for
the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
 37:25  I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not
seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
 37:26  [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is]
blessed.
 37:27  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
 37:28  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his
saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off.
 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein
for ever.
 37:30  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his
tongue talketh of judgment.
 37:31  The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps
shall slide.
 37:32  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay
him.
 37:33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn
him when he is judged.
 37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt
thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou
shalt see [it].
 37:35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading
himself like a green bay tree.
 37:36  Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I
sought him, but he could not be found.
 37:37  Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the
end of [that] man [is] peace.
 37:38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the
end of the wicked shall be cut off.
 37:39  But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD:
[he is] their strength in the time of trouble.
 37:40  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he
shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they
trust in him.
 38:1  A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD,
rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot
displeasure.
 38:2  For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth
me sore.
 38:3  [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine
anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my
sin.
 38:4  For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy
burden they are too heavy for me.
 38:5  My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my
foolishness.
 38:6  I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning
all the day long.
 38:7  For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and
[there is] no soundness in my flesh.
 38:8  I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of
the disquietness of my heart.
 38:9  Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is
not hid from thee.
 38:10  My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the
light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
 38:11  My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and
my kinsmen stand afar off.
 38:12  They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]:
and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and
imagine deceits all the day long.
 38:13  But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a
dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
 38:14  Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose
mouth [are] no reproofs.
 38:15  For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord
my God.
 38:16  For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should
rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify
[themselves] against me.
 38:17  For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is]
continually before me.
 38:18  For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for
my sin.
 38:19  But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong:
and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
 38:20  They also that render evil for good are mine
adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
 38:21  Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
 38:22  Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
 39:1  To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of
David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with
my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
is before me.
 39:2  I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from
good; and my sorrow was stirred.
 39:3  My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire
burned: [then] spake I with my tongue,
 39:4  LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my
days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].
 39:5  Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and
mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his
best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
 39:6  Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who
shall gather them.
 39:7  And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
 39:8  Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the
reproach of the foolish.
 39:9  I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst
[it].
 39:10  Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the
blow of thine hand.
 39:11  When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,
thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely
every man [is] vanity. Selah.
 39:12  Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold
not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee,
[and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].
 39:13  O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go
hence, and be no more.
 40:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited
patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my
cry.
 40:2  He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the
miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my
goings.
 40:3  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise
unto our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in
the LORD.
 40:4  Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust,
and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
 40:5  Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which]
thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they
cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare
and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
 40:6  Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears
hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not
required.
 40:7  Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it
is] written of me,
 40:8  I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is]
within my heart.
 40:9  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
 40:10  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I
have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great
congregation.
 40:11  Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD:
let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
 40:12  For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine
iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to
look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore
my heart faileth me.
 40:13  Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste
to help me.
 40:14  Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek
after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and
put to shame that wish me evil.
 40:15  Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that
say unto me, Aha, aha.
 40:16  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in
thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD
be magnified.
 40:17  But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon
me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my
God.
 41:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he
that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of
trouble.
 41:2  The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he
shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him
unto the will of his enemies.
 41:3  The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of
languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
 41:4  I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I
have sinned against thee.
 41:5  Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and
his name perish?
 41:6  And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his
heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he
telleth [it].
 41:7  All that hate me whisper together against me: against me
do they devise my hurt.
 41:8  An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and
[now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
 41:9  Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which
did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
 41:10  But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,
that I may requite them.
 41:11  By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine
enemy doth not triumph over me.
 41:12  And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
settest me before thy face for ever.
 41:13  Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,
and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
 42:1  To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.
 42:2  My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when
shall I come and appear before God?
 42:3  My tears have been my meat day and night, while they
continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
 42:4  When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in
me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the
house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a
multitude that kept holyday.
 42:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou
disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him
[for] the help of his countenance.
 42:6  O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will
I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.
 42:7  Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
 42:8  [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the
daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my
prayer unto the God of my life.
 42:9  I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
 42:10  [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach
me; while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?
 42:11  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise
him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
 43:1  Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
 43:2  For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou
cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the
enemy?
 43:3  O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me;
let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
 43:4  Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my
exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my
God.
 43:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him,
[who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
 44:1  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We
have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
[what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
 44:2  [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand,
and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and
cast them out.
 44:3  For they got not the land in possession by their own
sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand,
and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou
hadst a favour unto them.
 44:4  Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
 44:5  Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy
name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
 44:6  For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword
save me.
 44:7  But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put
them to shame that hated us.
 44:8  In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name
for ever. Selah.
 44:9  But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest
not forth with our armies.
 44:10  Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they
which hate us spoil for themselves.
 44:11  Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and
hast scattered us among the heathen.
 44:12  Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not
increase [thy wealth] by their price.
 44:13  Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn
and a derision to them that are round about us.
 44:14  Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of
the head among the people.
 44:15  My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame
of my face hath covered me,
 44:16  For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;
by reason of the enemy and avenger.
 44:17  All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten
thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
 44:18  Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps
declined from thy way;
 44:19  Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of
dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
 44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched
out our hands to a strange god;
 44:21  Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the
secrets of the heart.
 44:22  Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we
are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
 44:23  Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not
off for ever.
 44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our
affliction and our oppression?
 44:25  For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly
cleaveth unto the earth.
 44:26  Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies'
sake.
 45:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of
Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good
matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the
king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.
 45:2  Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is
poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
 45:3  Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with
thy glory and thy majesty.
 45:4  And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth
and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall
teach thee terrible things.
 45:5  Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's
enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee.
 45:6  Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre
of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre.
 45:7  Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:
therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows.
 45:8  All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and]
cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee
glad.
 45:9  Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon
thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
 45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine
ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
 45:11  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he
[is] thy Lord; and worship thou him.
 45:12  And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
[even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.
 45:13  The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her
clothing [is] of wrought gold.
 45:14  She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of
needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be
brought unto thee.
 45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they
shall enter into the king's palace.
 45:16  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou
mayest make princes in all the earth.
 45:17  I will make thy name to be remembered in all
generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever
and ever.
 46:1  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon
Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help
in trouble.
 46:2  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
 46:3  [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled,
[though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
 46:4  [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad
the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the
most High.
 46:5  God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, [and that] right early.
 46:6  The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered
his voice, the earth melted.
 46:7  The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]
our refuge. Selah.
 46:8  Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he
hath made in the earth.
 46:9  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he
breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth
the chariot in the fire.
 46:10  Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted
among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
 46:11  The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]
our refuge. Selah.
 47:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O
clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice
of triumph.
 47:2  For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great
King over all the earth.
 47:3  He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations
under our feet.
 47:4  He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency
of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
 47:5  God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of
a trumpet.
 47:6  Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our
King, sing praises.
 47:7  For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises
with understanding.
 47:8  God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the
throne of his holiness.
 47:9  The princes of the people are gathered together, [even]
the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth
[belong] unto God: he is greatly exalted.
 48:1  A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the
LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in]
the mountain of his holiness.
 48:2  Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,
[is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the
great King.
 48:3  God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
 48:4  For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by
together.
 48:5  They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were
troubled, [and] hasted away.
 48:6  Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a
woman in travail.
 48:7  Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
 48:8  As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the
LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it
for ever. Selah.
 48:9  We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the
midst of thy temple.
 48:10  According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto
the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
 48:11  Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be
glad, because of thy judgments.
 48:12  Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the
towers thereof.
 48:13  Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that
ye may tell [it] to the generation following.
 48:14  For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be
our guide [even] unto death.
 49:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of
the world:
 49:2  Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
 49:3  My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my
heart [shall be] of understanding.
 49:4  I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my
dark saying upon the harp.
 49:5  Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the
iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
 49:6  They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in
the multitude of their riches;
 49:7  None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor
give to God a ransom for him:
 49:8  (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it
ceaseth for ever:)
 49:9  That he should still live for ever, [and] not see
corruption.
 49:10  For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and
the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
 49:11  Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall
continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all
generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.
 49:12  Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is
like the beasts [that] perish.
 49:13  This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity
approve their sayings. Selah.
 49:14  Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed
on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their
dwelling.
 49:15  But God will redeem my soul from the power of the
grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
 49:16  Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the
glory of his house is increased;
 49:17  For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his
glory shall not descend after him.
 49:18  Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men]
will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
 49:19  He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they
shall never see light.
 49:20  Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like
the beasts [that] perish.
 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath
spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto
the going down thereof.
 50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
 50:3  Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire
shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round
about him.
 50:4  He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the
earth, that he may judge his people.
 50:5  Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made
a covenant with me by sacrifice.
 50:6  And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God
[is] judge himself. Selah.
 50:7  Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I
will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
 50:8  I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
 50:9  I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats
out of thy folds.
 50:10  For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the
cattle upon a thousand hills.
 50:11  I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild
beasts of the field [are] mine.
 50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world
[is] mine, and the fulness thereof.
 50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of
goats?
 50:14  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the
most High:
 50:15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver
thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
 50:16  But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to
declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant
in thy mouth?
 50:17  Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words
behind thee.
 50:18  When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with
him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
 50:19  Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth
deceit.
 50:20  Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou
slanderest thine own mother's son.
 50:21  These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself:
[but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine
eyes.
 50:22  Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear
[you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
 50:23  Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that
ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation
of God.
 51:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the
prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have
mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
 51:2  Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me
from my sin.
 51:3  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is]
ever before me.
 51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this]
evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou
speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.
 51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my
mother conceive me.
 51:6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in
the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
 51:7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and
I shall be whiter than snow.
 51:8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones
[which] thou hast broken may rejoice.
 51:9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities.
 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.
 51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy
holy spirit from me.
 51:12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
[with thy] free spirit.
 51:13  [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners
shall be converted unto thee.
 51:14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy
righteousness.
 51:15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show
forth thy praise.
 51:16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give
[it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
 51:17  The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken
and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
 51:18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the
walls of Jerusalem.
 51:19  Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
 52:1  To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when
Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David
is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in
mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth]
continually.
 52:2  Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor,
working deceitfully.
 52:3  Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than
to speak righteousness. Selah.
 52:4  Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful
tongue.
 52:5  God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take
thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root
thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
 52:6  The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh
at him:
 52:7  Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength;
but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
 52:8  But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God:
I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
 52:9  I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done
[it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy
saints.
 53:1  To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm]
of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is]
none that doeth good.
 53:2  God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.
 53:3  Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether
become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
 53:4  Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
 53:5  There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for
God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against]
thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised
them.
 53:6  Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
 54:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David
hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me
by thy strength.
 54:2  Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my
mouth.
 54:3  For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors
seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
 54:4  Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them
that uphold my soul.
 54:5  He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in
thy truth.
 54:6  I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy
name, O LORD; for [it is] good.
 54:7  For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine
eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.
 55:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from
my supplication.
 55:2  Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint,
and make a noise;
 55:3  Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the
oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and
in wrath they hate me.
 55:4  My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of
death are fallen upon me.
 55:5  Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror
hath overwhelmed me.
 55:6  And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]
would I fly away, and be at rest.
 55:7  Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the
wilderness. Selah.
 55:8  I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and]
tempest.
 55:9  Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have
seen violence and strife in the city.
 55:10  Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
 55:11  Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile
depart not from her streets.
 55:12  For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I
could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that]
did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself
from him:
 55:13  But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
acquaintance.
 55:14  We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the
house of God in company.
 55:15  Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick
into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among
them.
 55:16  As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall
save me.
 55:17  Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry
aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
 55:18  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle
[that was] against me: for there were many with me.
 55:19  God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth
of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they
fear not God.
 55:20  He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace
with him: he hath broken his covenant.
 55:21  [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but
war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet
[were] they drawn swords.
 55:22  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain
thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
 55:23  But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
their days; but I will trust in thee.
 56:1  To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam
of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful
unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily
oppresseth me.
 56:2  Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be]
many that fight against me, O thou most High.
 56:3  What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
 56:4  In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my
trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
 56:5  Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]
against me for evil.
 56:6  They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
 56:7  Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast
down the people, O God.
 56:8  Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy
bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
 56:9  When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn
back: this I know; for God [is] for me.
 56:10  In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I
praise [his] word.
 56:11  In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what
man can do unto me.
 56:12  Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises
unto thee.
 56:13  For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not
[thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God
in the light of the living?
 57:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David,
when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God,
be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the
shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these]
calamities be overpast.
 57:2  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth
[all things] for me.
 57:3  He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the
reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send
forth his mercy and his truth.
 57:4  My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them
that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are]
spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
 57:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy
glory [be] above all the earth.
 57:6  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed
down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof
they are fallen [themselves]. Selah.
 57:7  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing
and give praise.
 57:8  Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]
will awake early.
 57:9  I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will
sing unto thee among the nations.
 57:10  For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy
truth unto the clouds.
 57:11  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy
glory [be] above all the earth.
 58:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do
ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge
uprightly, O ye sons of men?
 58:2  Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence
of your hands in the earth.
 58:3  The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray
as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
 58:4  Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they
are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
 58:5  Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
charming never so wisely.
 58:6  Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
 58:7  Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually:
[when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as
cut in pieces.
 58:8  As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass
away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not
see the sun.
 58:9  Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them
away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
 58:10  The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the
vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
 58:11  So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for
the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
 59:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David;
when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver
me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise
up against me.
 59:2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me
from bloody men.
 59:3  For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are
gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my
sin, O LORD.
 59:4  They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:
awake to help me, and behold.
 59:5  Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,
awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked
transgressors. Selah.
 59:6  They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog,
and go round about the city.
 59:7  Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in
their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
 59:8  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have
all the heathen in derision.
 59:9  [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God
[is] my defence.
 59:10  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me
see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
 59:11  Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by
thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
 59:12  [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their
lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and
lying [which] they speak.
 59:13  Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they
[may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto
the ends of the earth. Selah.
 59:14  And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a
noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
 59:15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if
they be not satisfied.
 59:16  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of
thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and
refuge in the day of my trouble.
 59:17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my
defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
 60:1  To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of
David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with
Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley
of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou
hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to
us again.
 60:2  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken
it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
 60:3  Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made
us to drink the wine of astonishment.
 60:4  Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it
may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
 60:5  That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right
hand, and hear me.
 60:6  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will
divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
 60:7  Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also
[is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
 60:8  Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
 60:9  Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead
me into Edom?
 60:10  [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and
[thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?
 60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of
man.
 60:12  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]
shall tread down our enemies.
 61:1  To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
 61:2  From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my
heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than
I.
 61:3  For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong
tower from the enemy.
 61:4  I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in
the covert of thy wings. Selah.
 61:5  For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given
[me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
 61:6  Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as
many generations.
 61:7  He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and
truth, [which] may preserve him.
 61:8  So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may
daily perform my vows.
 62:1  To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
 62:2  He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my
defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
 62:3  How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye
shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and
as] a tottering fence.
 62:4  They only consult to cast [him] down from his
excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Selah.
 62:5  My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation
[is] from him.
 62:6  He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my
defence; I shall not be moved.
 62:7  In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my
strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.
 62:8  Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your
heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
 62:9  Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high
degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are]
altogether [lighter] than vanity.
 62:10  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in
robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
 62:11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that
power [belongeth] unto God.
 62:12  Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou
renderest to every man according to his work.
 63:1  A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of
Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my
soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is;
 63:2  To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee
in the sanctuary.
 63:3  Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my
lips shall praise thee.
 63:4  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my
hands in thy name.
 63:5  My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
 63:6  When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee
in the [night] watches.
 63:7  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow
of thy wings will I rejoice.
 63:8  My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand
upholdeth me.
 63:9  But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go
into the lower parts of the earth.
 63:10  They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion
for foxes.
 63:11  But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that
sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak
lies shall be stopped.
 64:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice,
O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
 64:2  Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
 64:3  Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their
bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
 64:4  That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly
do they shoot at him, and fear not.
 64:5  They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they
commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
 64:6  They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent
search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and
the heart, [is] deep.
 64:7  But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly
shall they be wounded.
 64:8  So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon
themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
 64:9  And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of
God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
 64:10  The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall
trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
 65:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
the vow be performed.
 65:2  O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh
come.
 65:3  Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our
transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
 65:4  Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to
approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall
be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy
temple.
 65:5  [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer
us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the
ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the
sea:
 65:6  Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
[being] girded with power:
 65:7  Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves, and the tumult of the people.
 65:8  They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid
at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and
evening to rejoice.
 65:9  Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water:
thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
 65:10  Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou
settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers:
thou blessest the springing thereof.
 65:11  Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths
drop fatness.
 65:12  They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and
the little hills rejoice on every side.
 65:13  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also
are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
 66:1  To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful
noise unto God, all ye lands:
 66:2  Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise
glorious.
 66:3  Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works!
through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit
themselves unto thee.
 66:4  All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto
thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.
 66:5  Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]
doing toward the children of men.
 66:6  He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the
flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
 66:7  He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the
nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
 66:8  O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his
praise to be heard:
 66:9  Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our
feet to be moved.
 66:10  For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as
silver is tried.
 66:11  Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction
upon our loins.
 66:12  Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went
through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into
a wealthy [place].
 66:13  I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will
pay thee my vows,
 66:14  Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,
when I was in trouble.
 66:15  I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,
with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.
Selah.
 66:16  Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will
declare what he hath done for my soul.
 66:17  I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled
with my tongue.
 66:18  If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not
hear [me]:
 66:19  [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to
the voice of my prayer.
 66:20  Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,
nor his mercy from me.
 67:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to
shine upon us; Selah.
 67:2  That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health
among all nations.
 67:3  Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
praise thee.
 67:4  O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou
shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
earth. Selah.
 67:5  Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
praise thee.
 67:6  [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,
[even] our own God, shall bless us.
 67:7  God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall
fear him.
 68:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let
God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that
hate him flee before him.
 68:2  As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax
melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the
presence of God.
 68:3  But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before
God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
 68:4  Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that
rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before
him.
 68:5  A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
[is] God in his holy habitation.
 68:6  God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out
those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in
a dry [land].
 68:7  O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when
thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
 68:8  The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the
presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the
presence of God, the God of Israel.
 68:9  Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou
didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
 68:10  Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
 68:11  The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of
those that published [it].
 68:12  Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at
home divided the spoil.
 68:13  Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be
as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers
with yellow gold.
 68:14  When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]
as snow in Salmon.
 68:15  The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high
hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
 68:16  Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]
God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for
ever.
 68:17  The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]
thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai,
in the holy [place].
 68:18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity
captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the
rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
 68:19  Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with
benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
 68:20  [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and
unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
 68:21  But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the
hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
 68:22  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will
bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
 68:23  That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]
enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
 68:24  They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of
my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
 68:25  The singers went before, the players on instruments
[followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with
timbrels.
 68:26  Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,
from the fountain of Israel.
 68:27  There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the
princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun,
[and] the princes of Naphtali.
 68:28  Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,
that which thou hast wrought for us.
 68:29  Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
presents unto thee.
 68:30  Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the
bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit
himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that]
delight in war.
 68:31  Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon
stretch out her hands unto God.
 68:32  Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises
unto the Lord; Selah:
 68:33  To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which
were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a
mighty voice.
 68:34  Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over
Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
 68:35  O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the
God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his]
people. Blessed [be] God.
 69:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of
David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my]
soul.
 69:2  I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am
come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
 69:3  I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes
fail while I wait for my God.
 69:4  They that hate me without a cause are more than the
hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine
enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I
took not away.
 69:5  O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not
hid from thee.
 69:6  Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be
ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded
for my sake, O God of Israel.
 69:7  Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath
covered my face.
 69:8  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien
unto my mother's children.
 69:9  For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the
reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
 69:10  When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that
was to my reproach.
 69:11  I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a
proverb to them.
 69:12  They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]
the song of the drunkards.
 69:13  But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in]
an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear
me, in the truth of thy salvation.
 69:14  Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me
be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep
waters.
 69:15  Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the
deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
 69:16  Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn
unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
 69:17  And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in
trouble: hear me speedily.
 69:18  Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me
because of mine enemies.
 69:19  Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my
dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
 69:20  Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of
heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there
was] none; and for comforters, but I found none.
 69:21  They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst
they gave me vinegar to drink.
 69:22  Let their table become a snare before them: and [that
which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a
trap.
 69:23  Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make
their loins continually to shake.
 69:24  Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy
wrathful anger take hold of them.
 69:25  Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell
in their tents.
 69:26  For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and
they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
 69:27  Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come
into thy righteousness.
 69:28  Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and
not be written with the righteous.
 69:29  But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O
God, set me up on high.
 69:30  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will
magnify him with thanksgiving.
 69:31  [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox
[or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
 69:32  The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your
heart shall live that seek God.
 69:33  For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
prisoners.
 69:34  Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and
every thing that moveth therein.
 69:35  For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of
Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
 69:36  The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and
they that love his name shall dwell therein.
 70:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to
remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to
help me, O LORD.
 70:2  Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my
soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that
desire my hurt.
 70:3  Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that
say, Aha, aha.
 70:4  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in
thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let
God be magnified.
 70:5  But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:
thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
 71:1  In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put
to confusion.
 71:2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
 71:3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may
continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for
thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
 71:4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out
of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
 71:5  For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust
from my youth.
 71:6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he
that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be]
continually of thee.
 71:7  I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong
refuge.
 71:8  Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy
honour all the day.
 71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not
when my strength faileth.
 71:10  For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay
wait for my soul take counsel together,
 71:11  Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;
for [there is] none to deliver [him].
 71:12  O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my
help.
 71:13  Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are
adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and
dishonour that seek my hurt.
 71:14  But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee
more and more.
 71:15  My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy
salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
 71:16  I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
 71:17  O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto
have I declared thy wondrous works.
 71:18  Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake
me not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this]
generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
 71:19  Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast
done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
 71:20  [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,
shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the
depths of the earth.
 71:21  Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on
every side.
 71:22  I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy
truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou
Holy One of Israel.
 71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;
and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
 71:24  My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the
day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
shame, that seek my hurt.
 72:1  [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O
God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
 72:2  He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy
poor with judgment.
 72:3  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the
little hills, by righteousness.
 72:4  He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
 72:5  They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
 72:6  He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as
showers [that] water the earth.
 72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance
of peace so long as the moon endureth.
 72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from
the river unto the ends of the earth.
 72:9  They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;
and his enemies shall lick the dust.
 72:10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring
presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
 72:11  Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations
shall serve him.
 72:12  For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor
also, and [him] that hath no helper.
 72:13  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the
souls of the needy.
 72:14  He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:
and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
 72:15  And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the
gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually;
[and] daily shall he be praised.
 72:16  There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the
top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like
Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of
the earth.
 72:17  His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be
continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in
him: all nations shall call him blessed.
 72:18  Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only
doeth wondrous things.
 72:19  And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let
the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
 72:20  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
 73:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even]
to such as are of a clean heart.
 73:2  But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had
well nigh slipped.
 73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the
prosperity of the wicked.
 73:4  For [there are] no bands in their death: but their
strength [is] firm.
 73:5  They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are
they plagued like [other] men.
 73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;
violence covereth them [as] a garment.
 73:7  Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than
heart could wish.
 73:8  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]
oppression: they speak loftily.
 73:9  They set their mouth against the heavens, and their
tongue walketh through the earth.
 73:10  Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a
full [cup] are wrung out to them.
 73:11  And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge
in the most High?
 73:12  Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the
world; they increase [in] riches.
 73:13  Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed
my hands in innocency.
 73:14  For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened
every morning.
 73:15  If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
[against] the generation of thy children.
 73:16  When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for
me;
 73:17  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then]
understood I their end.
 73:18  Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou
castedst them down into destruction.
 73:19  How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
they are utterly consumed with terrors.
 73:20  As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou
awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
 73:21  Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my
reins.
 73:22  So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast
before thee.
 73:23  Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast
holden [me] by my right hand.
 73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward
receive me [to] glory.
 73:25  Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none
upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.
 73:26  My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the
strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
 73:27  For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
 73:28  But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put
my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
 74:1  Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for
ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy
pasture?
 74:2  Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased
of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast
redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
 74:3  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even]
all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
 74:4  Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;
they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
 74:5  [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes
upon the thick trees.
 74:6  But now they break down the carved work thereof at once
with axes and hammers.
 74:7  They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have
defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the
ground.
 74:8  They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
 74:9  We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:
neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
 74:10  O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the
enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
 74:11  Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?
pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
 74:12  For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the
midst of the earth.
 74:13  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest
the heads of the dragons in the waters.
 74:14  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and]
gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the
wilderness.
 74:15  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou
driedst up mighty rivers.
 74:16  The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou
hast prepared the light and the sun.
 74:17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast
made summer and winter.
 74:18  Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O
LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
 74:19  O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the
multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy
poor for ever.
 74:20  Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of
the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
 74:21  O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor
and needy praise thy name.
 74:22  Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the
foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
 74:23  Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of
those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
 75:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of
Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we
give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works
declare.
 75:2  When I shall receive the congregation I will judge
uprightly.
 75:3  The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
 75:4  I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the
wicked, Lift not up the horn:
 75:5  Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff
neck.
 75:6  For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from
the west, nor from the south.
 75:7  But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth
up another.
 75:8  For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the
wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the
same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall
wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].
 75:9  But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the
God of Jacob.
 75:10  All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but]
the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
 76:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of
Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
 76:2  In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place
in Zion.
 76:3  There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and
the sword, and the battle. Selah.
 76:4  Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the
mountains of prey.
 76:5  The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their
sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
 76:6  At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and
horse are cast into a dead sleep.
 76:7  Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand
in thy sight when once thou art angry?
 76:8  Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the
earth feared, and was still,
 76:9  When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the
earth. Selah.
 76:10  Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the
remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
 76:11  Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be
round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be
feared.
 76:12  He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is]
terrible to the kings of the earth.
 77:1  To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I
cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice;
and he gave ear unto me.
 77:2  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.
 77:3  I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
 77:4  Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I
cannot speak.
 77:5  I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
times.
 77:6  I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune
with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
 77:7  Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be
favourable no more?
 77:8  Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise
fail for evermore?
 77:9  Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut
up his tender mercies? Selah.
 77:10  And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will
remember] the years of the right hand of the most High.
 77:11  I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will
remember thy wonders of old.
 77:12  I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy
doings.
 77:13  Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so]
great a God as [our] God?
 77:14  Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast
declared thy strength among the people.
 77:15  Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the
sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
 77:16  The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they
were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
 77:17  The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a
sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
 77:18  The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the
lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
 77:19  Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great
waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
 77:20  Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of
Moses and Aaron.
 78:1  Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
 78:2  I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old:
 78:3  Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told
us.
 78:4  We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to
the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his
strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
 78:5  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:
 78:6  That the generation to come might know [them, even] the
children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare
[them] to their children:
 78:7  That they might set their hope in God, and not forget
the works of God, but keep his commandments:
 78:8  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.
 78:9  The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying
bows, turned back in the day of battle.
 78:10  They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk
in his law;
 78:11  And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had
showed them.
 78:12  Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,
in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
 78:13  He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;
and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
 78:14  In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all
the night with a light of fire.
 78:15  He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them]
drink as [out of] the great depths.
 78:16  He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused
waters to run down like rivers.
 78:17  And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the
most High in the wilderness.
 78:18  And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for
their lust.
 78:19  Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish
a table in the wilderness?
 78:20  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?
 78:21  Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a
fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against
Israel;
 78:22  Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in
his salvation:
 78:23  Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and
opened the doors of heaven,
 78:24  And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had
given them of the corn of heaven.
 78:25  Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the
full.
 78:26  He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by
his power he brought in the south wind.
 78:27  He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered
fowls like as the sand of the sea:
 78:28  And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round
about their habitations.
 78:29  So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them
their own desire;
 78:30  They were not estranged from their lust. But while
their meat [was] yet in their mouths,
 78:31  The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest
of them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
 78:32  For all this they sinned still, and believed not for
his wondrous works.
 78:33  Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and
their years in trouble.
 78:34  When he slew them, then they sought him: and they
returned and inquired early after God.
 78:35  And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the
high God their redeemer.
 78:36  Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and
they lied unto him with their tongues.
 78:37  For their heart was not right with him, neither were
they stedfast in his covenant.
 78:38  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.
 78:39  For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind
that passeth away, and cometh not again.
 78:40  How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]
grieve him in the desert!
 78:41  Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the
Holy One of Israel.
 78:42  They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he
delivered them from the enemy.
 78:43  How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders
in the field of Zoan:
 78:44  And had turned their rivers into blood; and their
floods, that they could not drink.
 78:45  He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which
devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
 78:46  He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and
their labour unto the locust.
 78:47  He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore
trees with frost.
 78:48  He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their
flocks to hot thunderbolts.
 78:49  He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,
and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among
them].
 78:50  He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul
from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
 78:51  And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of
[their] strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
 78:52  But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and
guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
 78:53  And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but
the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
 78:54  And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
[even to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
 78:55  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.
 78:56  Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and
kept not his testimonies:
 78:57  But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their
fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
 78:58  For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
 78:59  When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly
abhorred Israel:
 78:60  So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
[which] he placed among men;
 78:61  And delivered his strength into captivity, and his
glory into the enemy's hand.
 78:62  He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was
wroth with his inheritance.
 78:63  The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens
were not given to marriage.
 78:64  Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made
no lamentation.
 78:65  Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a
mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
 78:66  And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put
them to a perpetual reproach.
 78:67  Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose
not the tribe of Ephraim:
 78:68  But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he
loved.
 78:69  And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like
the earth which he hath established for ever.
 78:70  He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:
 78:71  From following the ewes great with young he brought him
to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
 78:72  So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;
and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
 79:1  A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine
inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid
Jerusalem on heaps.
 79:2  The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be]
meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto
the beasts of the earth.
 79:3  Their blood have they shed like water round about
Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].
 79:4  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
derision to them that are round about us.
 79:5  How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy
jealousy burn like fire?
 79:6  Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known
thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
 79:7  For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his
dwelling place.
 79:8  O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy
tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very
low.
 79:9  Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy
name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's
sake.
 79:10  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God?
let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the
revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.
 79:11  Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee;
according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those
that are appointed to die;
 79:12  And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their
bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O
Lord.
 79:13  So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give
thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all
generations.
 80:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of
Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph
like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine
forth.
 80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy
strength, and come [and] save us.
 80:3  Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
 80:4  O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against
the prayer of thy people?
 80:5  Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest
them tears to drink in great measure.
 80:6  Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our
enemies laugh among themselves.
 80:7  Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to
shine; and we shall be saved.
 80:8  Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast
out the heathen, and planted it.
 80:9  Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to
take deep root, and it filled the land.
 80:10  The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the
boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.
 80:11  She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches
unto the river.
 80:12  Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that
all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
 80:13  The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild
beast of the field doth devour it.
 80:14  Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from
heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
 80:15  And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and
the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.
 80:16  [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish
at the rebuke of thy countenance.
 80:17  Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon
the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.
 80:18  So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we
will call upon thy name.
 80:19  Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to
shine; and we shall be saved.
 81:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph.
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob.
 81:2  Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant
harp with the psaltery.
 81:3  Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed, on our solemn feast day.
 81:4  For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the
God of Jacob.
 81:5  This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he
went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language
[that] I understood not.
 81:6  I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
delivered from the pots.
 81:7  Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I
answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at
the waters of Meribah. Selah.
 81:8  Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O
Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
 81:9  There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt
thou worship any strange god.
 81:10  I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
 81:11  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel
would none of me.
 81:12  So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: [and]
they walked in their own counsels.
 81:13  Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel
had walked in my ways!
 81:14  I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my
hand against their adversaries.
 81:15  The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves
unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
 81:16  He should have fed them also with the finest of the
wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied
thee.
 82:1  A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of
the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
 82:2  How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons
of the wicked? Selah.
 82:3  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the
afflicted and needy.
 82:4  Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand
of the wicked.
 82:5  They know not, neither will they understand; they walk
on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of
course.
 82:6  I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are]
children of the most High.
 82:7  But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the
princes.
 82:8  Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit
all nations.
 83:1  A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O
God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
 83:2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate
thee have lifted up the head.
 83:3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted against thy hidden ones.
 83:4  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.
 83:5  For they have consulted together with one consent: they
are confederate against thee:
 83:6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab,
and the Hagarenes;
 83:7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
 83:8  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the
children of Lot. Selah.
 83:9  Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera,
as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
 83:10  [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for
the earth.
 83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all
their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
 83:12  Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
 83:13  O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before
the wind.
 83:14  As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth
the mountains on fire;
 83:15  So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them
afraid with thy storm.
 83:16  Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy
name, O LORD.
 83:17  Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let
them be put to shame, and perish:
 83:18  That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
 84:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons
of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
 84:2  My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of
the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
 84:3  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.
 84:4  Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be
still praising thee. Selah.
 84:5  Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in
whose heart [are] the ways [of them].
 84:6  [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
the rain also filleth the pools.
 84:7  They go from strength to strength, [every one of them]
in Zion appeareth before God.
 84:8  O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of
Jacob. Selah.
 84:9  Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of
thine anointed.
 84:10  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.
 84:11  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.
 84:12  O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in
thee.
 85:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast
brought back the captivity of Jacob.
 85:2  Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast
covered all their sin. Selah.
 85:3  Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned
[thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.
 85:4  Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger
toward us to cease.
 85:5  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out
thine anger to all generations?
 85:6  Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may
rejoice in thee?
 85:7  Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
 85:8  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.
 85:9  Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that
glory may dwell in our land.
 85:10  Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and
peace have kissed [each other].
 85:11  Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness
shall look down from heaven.
 85:12  Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our
land shall yield her increase.
 85:13  Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us]
in the way of his steps.
 86:1  A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
for I [am] poor and needy.
 86:2  Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save
thy servant that trusteth in thee.
 86:3  Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
 86:4  Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord,
do I lift up my soul.
 86:5  For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and
plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
 86:6  Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the
voice of my supplications.
 86:7  In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou
wilt answer me.
 86:8  Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord;
neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
 86:9  All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship
before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
 86:10  For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou
[art] God alone.
 86:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name.
 86:12  I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
 86:13  For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast
delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
 86:14  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.
 86:15  But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and
gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
 86:16  O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy
strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
 86:17  Show 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.
 87:1  A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation
[is] in the holy mountains.
 87:2  The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the
dwellings of Jacob.
 87:3  Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.
Selah.
 87:4  I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that
know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man]
was born there.
 87:5  And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born
in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
 87:6  The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people,
[that] this [man] was born there. Selah.
 87:7  As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall
be there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
 88:1  A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief
Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before
thee:
 88:2  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto
my cry;
 88:3  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth
nigh unto the grave.
 88:4  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am
as a man [that hath] no strength:
 88:5  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.
 88:6  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
deeps.
 88:7  Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted
[me] with all thy waves. Selah.
 88:8  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.
 88:9  Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have
called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto
thee.
 88:10  Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead
arise [and] praise thee? Selah.
 88:11  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or]
thy faithfulness in destruction?
 88:12  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy
righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
 88:13  But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning
shall my prayer prevent thee.
 88:14  LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou
thy face from me?
 88:15  I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up:
[while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
 88:16  Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me
off.
 88:17  They came round about me daily like water; they
compassed me about together.
 88:18  Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine
acquaintance into darkness.
 89:1  Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the
mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known
thy faithfulness to all generations.
 89:2  For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
 89:3  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto
David my servant,
 89:4  Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy
throne to all generations. Selah.
 89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
 89:6  For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD?
[who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the
LORD?
 89:7  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.
 89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto
thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
 89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves
thereof arise, thou stillest them.
 89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
 89:11  The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as
for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
 89:12  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor
and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
 89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high
is thy right hand.
 89:14  Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy
throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
 89:15  Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound:
they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
 89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
 89:17  For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy
favour our horn shall be exalted.
 89:18  For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of
Israel [is] our king.
 89:19  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.
 89:20  I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I
anointed him:
 89:21  With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also
shall strengthen him.
 89:22  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of
wickedness afflict him.
 89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and
plague them that hate him.
 89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him:
and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
 89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand
in the rivers.
 89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and
the rock of my salvation.
 89:27  Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the
kings of the earth.
 89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my
covenant shall stand fast with him.
 89:29  His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his
throne as the days of heaven.
 89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my
judgments;
 89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my
commandments;
 89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and
their iniquity with stripes.
 89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take
from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
 89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that
is gone out of my lips.
 89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie
unto David.
 89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the
sun before me.
 89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as]
a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
 89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been
wroth with thine anointed.
 89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou
hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
 89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought
his strong holds to ruin.
 89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to
his neighbours.
 89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;
thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
 89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast
not made him to stand in the battle.
 89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne
down to the ground.
 89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast
covered him with shame. Selah.
 89:46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall
thy wrath burn like fire?
 89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made
all men in vain?
 89:48  What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death?
shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
 89:49  Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which]
thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
 89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I
do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
 89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD;
wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
 89:52  Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
 90:1  A Prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been
our dwelling place in all generations.
 90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou
hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou [art] God.
 90:3  Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
children of men.
 90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday
when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
 90:5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a
sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
 90:6  In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
evening it is cut down, and withereth.
 90:7  For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are
we troubled.
 90:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret
[sins] in the light of thy countenance.
 90:9  For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend
our years as a tale [that is told].
 90:10  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.
 90:11  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to
thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.
 90:12  So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply
[our] hearts unto wisdom.
 90:13  Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee
concerning thy servants.
 90:14  O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice
and be glad all our days.
 90:15  Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast
afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
 90:16  Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory
unto their children.
 90:17  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.
 91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
 91:2  I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my
fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
 91:3  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the
fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.
 91:4  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his
wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and
buckler.
 91:5  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor]
for the arrow [that] flieth by day;
 91:6  [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness;
[nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.
 91:7  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at
thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
 91:8  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the
reward of the wicked.
 91:9  Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge,
[even] the most High, thy habitation;
 91:10  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any
plague come nigh thy dwelling.
 91:11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep
thee in all thy ways.
 91:12  They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
 91:13  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young
lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my
name.
 91:15  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will
be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
 91:16  With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my
salvation.
 92:1  A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good
[thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto
thy name, O most High:
 92:2  To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night,
 92:3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the
psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
 92:4  For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I
will triumph in the works of thy hands.
 92:5  O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are
very deep.
 92:6  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool
understand this.
 92:7  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:
 92:8  But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.
 92:9  For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies
shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
 92:10  But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an
unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
 92:11  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.
 92:12  The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he
shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
 92:13  Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall
flourish in the courts of our God.
 92:14  They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they
shall be fat and flourishing;
 92:15  To show that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock,
and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.
 93:1  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.
 93:2  Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from
everlasting.
 93:3  The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have
lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
 93:4  The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many
waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.
 93:5  Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine
house, O LORD, for ever.
 94:1  O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
 94:2  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a
reward to the proud.
 94:3  LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the
wicked triumph?
 94:4  [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things?
[and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
 94:5  They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict
thine heritage.
 94:6  They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the
fatherless.
 94:7  Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the
God of Jacob regard [it].
 94:8  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools,
when will ye be wise?
 94:9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that
formed the eye, shall he not see?
 94:10  He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?
 94:11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are]
vanity.
 94:12  Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and
teachest him out of thy law;
 94:13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of
adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
 94:14  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will
he forsake his inheritance.
 94:15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all
the upright in heart shall follow it.
 94:16  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who
will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
 94:17  Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost
dwelt in silence.
 94:18  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held
me up.
 94:19  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts
delight my soul.
 94:20  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,
which frameth mischief by a law?
 94:21  They gather themselves together against the soul of the
righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
 94:22  But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of
my refuge.
 94:23  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.
 95:1  O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful
noise to the rock of our salvation.
 95:2  Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and
make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
 95:3  For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above
all gods.
 95:4  In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the
strength of the hills [is] his also.
 95:5  The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed
the dry [land].
 95:6  O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before
the LORD our maker.
 95:7  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,
 95:8  Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as
[in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:
 95:9  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
work.
 95:10  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:
 95:11  Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not
enter into my rest.
 96:1  O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all
the earth.
 96:2  Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his
salvation from day to day.
 96:3  Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among
all people.
 96:4  For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he
[is] to be feared above all gods.
 96:5  For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the
LORD made the heavens.
 96:6  Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty
[are] in his sanctuary.
 96:7  Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give
unto the LORD glory and strength.
 96:8  Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring
an offering, and come into his courts.
 96:9  O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear
before him, all the earth.
 96:10  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.
 96:11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let
the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
 96:12  Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein:
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
 96:13  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.
 97:1  The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the
multitude of isles be glad [thereof].
 97:2  Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness
and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
 97:3  A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies
round about.
 97:4  His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
trembled.
 97:5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
 97:6  The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the
people see his glory.
 97:7  Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that
boast themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.
 97:8  Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah
rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
 97:9  For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art
exalted far above all gods.
 97:10  Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the
souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the
wicked.
 97:11  Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the
upright in heart.
 97:12  Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at
the remembrance of his holiness.
 98:1  A Psalm. 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.
 98:2  The LORD hath made known his salvation: his
righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the
heathen.
 98:3  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.
 98:4  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a
loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
 98:5  Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the
voice of a psalm.
 98:6  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise
before the LORD, the King.
 98:7  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.
 98:8  Let the floods clap [their] hands: let the hills be
joyful together
 98:9  Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with
righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with
equity.
 99:1  The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth
[between] the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
 99:2  The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all
the people.
 99:3  Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it
[is] holy.
 99:4  The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost
establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in
Jacob.
 99:5  Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool;
[for] he [is] holy.
 99:6  Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them
that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he
answered them.
 99:7  He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.
 99:8  Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God
that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their
inventions.
 99:9  Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill;
for the LORD our God [is] holy.
 100:1  A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,
all ye lands.
 100:2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence
with singing.
 100:3  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.
 100:4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.
 100:5  For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and
his truth [endureth] to all generations.
 101:1  A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment:
unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
 101:2  I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when
wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a
perfect heart.
 101:3  I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the
work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.
 101:4  A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a
wicked [person].
 101:5  Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut
off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I
suffer.
 101:6  Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way,
he shall serve me.
 101:7  He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
 101:8  I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I
may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
 102:1  A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and
poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O
LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
 102:2  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.
 102:3  For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are
burned as an hearth.
 102:4  My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I
forget to eat my bread.
 102:5  By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave
to my skin.
 102:6  I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl
of the desert.
 102:7  I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
 102:8  Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that
are mad against me are sworn against me.
 102:9  For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink
with weeping,
 102:10  Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou
hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
 102:11  My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am
withered like grass.
 102:12  But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy
remembrance unto all generations.
 102:13  Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the
time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
 102:14  For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and
favour the dust thereof.
 102:15  So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and
all the kings of the earth thy glory.
 102:16  When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in
his glory.
 102:17  He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not
despise their prayer.
 102:18  This shall be written for the generation to come: and
the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
 102:19  For he hath looked down from the height of his
sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
 102:20  To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those
that are appointed to death;
 102:21  To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his
praise in Jerusalem;
 102:22  When the people are gathered together, and the
kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
 102:23  He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my
days.
 102:24  I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my
days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
 102:25  Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and
the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
 102:26  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:
 102:27  But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no
end.
 102:28  The children of thy servants shall continue, and their
seed shall be established before thee.
 103:1  [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all
that is within me, [bless] his holy name.
 103:2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits:
 103:3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases;
 103:4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth
thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
 103:5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that]
thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
 103:6  The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all
that are oppressed.
 103:7  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the
children of Israel.
 103:8  The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
plenteous in mercy.
 103:9  He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his
anger] for ever.
 103:10  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded
us according to our iniquities.
 103:11  For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great
is his mercy toward them that fear him.
 103:12  As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he
removed our transgressions from us.
 103:13  Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD
pitieth them that fear him.
 103:14  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are]
dust.
 103:15  [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of
the field, so he flourisheth.
 103:16  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the
place thereof shall know it no more.
 103:17  But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to
everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto
children's children;
 103:18  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that
remember his commandments to do them.
 103:19  The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and
his kingdom ruleth over all.
 103:20  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,
that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his
word.
 103:21  Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers
of his, that do his pleasure.
 103:22  Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his
dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
 104:1  Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very
great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
 104:2  Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment:
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
 104:3  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who
maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of
the wind:
 104:4  Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming
fire:
 104:5  [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it
should not be removed for ever.
 104:6  Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment:
the waters stood above the mountains.
 104:7  At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder
they hasted away.
 104:8  They go up by the mountains; they go down by the
valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
 104:9  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that
they turn not again to cover the earth.
 104:10  He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run
among the hills.
 104:11  They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild
asses quench their thirst.
 104:12  By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their
habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
 104:13  He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
 104:14  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;
 104:15  And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and]
oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which]
strengtheneth man's heart.
 104:16  The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of
Lebanon, which he hath planted;
 104:17  Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork,
the fir trees [are] her house.
 104:18  The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats;
[and] the rocks for the conies.
 104:19  He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his
going down.
 104:20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the
beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
 104:21  The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their
meat from God.
 104:22  The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and
lay them down in their dens.
 104:23  Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until
the evening.
 104:24  O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast
thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
 104:25  [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things
creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
 104:26  There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom]
thou hast made to play therein.
 104:27  These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them]
their meat in due season.
 104:28  [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest
thine hand, they are filled with good.
 104:29  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest
away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
 104:30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and
thou renewest the face of the earth.
 104:31  The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD
shall rejoice in his works.
 104:32  He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth
the hills, and they smoke.
 104:33  I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will
sing praise to my God while I have my being.
 104:34  My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in
the LORD.
 104:35  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.
 105:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make
known his deeds among the people.
 105:2  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his
wondrous works.
 105:3  Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the LORD.
 105:4  Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face
evermore.
 105:5  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his
wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
 105:6  O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob
his chosen.
 105:7  He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all
the earth.
 105:8  He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word
[which] he commanded to a thousand generations.
 105:9  Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath
unto Isaac;
 105:10  And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to
Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
 105:11  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the
lot of your inheritance:
 105:12  When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very
few, and strangers in it.
 105:13  When they went from one nation to another, from [one]
kingdom to another people;
 105:14  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved
kings for their sakes;
 105:15  [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets
no harm.
 105:16  Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he
brake the whole staff of bread.
 105:17  He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was
sold for a servant:
 105:18  Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in
iron:
 105:19  Until the time that his word came: the word of the
LORD tried him.
 105:20  The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the
people, and let him go free.
 105:21  He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his
substance:
 105:22  To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his
senators wisdom.
 105:23  Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in
the land of Ham.
 105:24  And he increased his people greatly; and made them
stronger than their enemies.
 105:25  He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal
subtly with his servants.
 105:26  He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had
chosen.
 105:27  They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the
land of Ham.
 105:28  He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled
not against his word.
 105:29  He turned their waters into blood, and slew their
fish.
 105:30  Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
chambers of their kings.
 105:31  He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and]
lice in all their coasts.
 105:32  He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in
their land.
 105:33  He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and
brake the trees of their coasts.
 105:34  He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and
that without number,
 105:35  And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and
devoured the fruit of their ground.
 105:36  He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the
chief of all their strength.
 105:37  He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and
[there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
 105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of
them fell upon them.
 105:39  He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give
light in the night.
 105:40  [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and
satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
 105:41  He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they
ran in the dry places [like] a river.
 105:42  For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his
servant.
 105:43  And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his
chosen with gladness:
 105:44  And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they
inherited the labour of the people;
 105:45  That they might observe his statutes, and keep his
laws. Praise ye the LORD.
 106:1  Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for
[he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 106:2  Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can
show forth all his praise?
 106:3  Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that
doeth righteousness at all times.
 106:4  Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest
unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
 106:5  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.
 106:6  We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed
iniquity, we have done wickedly.
 106:7  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.
 106:8  Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he
might make his mighty power to be known.
 106:9  He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he
led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
 106:10  And he saved them from the hand of him that hated
[them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
 106:11  And the waters covered their enemies: there was not
one of them left.
 106:12  Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
 106:13  They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his
counsel:
 106:14  But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted
God in the desert.
 106:15  And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into
their soul.
 106:16  They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the
saint of the LORD.
 106:17  The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered
the company of Abiram.
 106:18  And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame
burned up the wicked.
 106:19  They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten
image.
 106:20  Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of
an ox that eateth grass.
 106:21  They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt;
 106:22  Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible
things by the Red sea.
 106:23  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].
 106:24  Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed
not his word:
 106:25  But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto
the voice of the LORD.
 106:26  Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in the wilderness:
 106:27  To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to
scatter them in the lands.
 106:28  They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the
sacrifices of the dead.
 106:29  Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their
inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
 106:30  Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and
[so] the plague was stayed.
 106:31  And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto
all generations for evermore.
 106:32  They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so
that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
 106:33  Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
 106:34  They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the
LORD commanded them:
 106:35  But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works.
 106:36  And they served their idols: which were a snare unto
them.
 106:37  Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters
unto devils,
 106:38  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.
 106:39  Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went
a whoring with their own inventions.
 106:40  Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against
his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
 106:41  And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and
they that hated them ruled over them.
 106:42  Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were
brought into subjection under their hand.
 106:43  Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked
[him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their
iniquity.
 106:44  Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he
heard their cry:
 106:45  And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of his mercies.
 106:46  He made them also to be pitied of all those that
carried them captives.
 106:47  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.
 106:48  Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting
to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the
LORD.
 107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever.
 107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath
redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
 107:3  And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and
from the west, from the north, and from the south.
 107:4  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they
found no city to dwell in.
 107:5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
 107:6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]
he delivered them out of their distresses.
 107:7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might
go to a city of habitation.
 107:8  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,
and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
 107:9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the
hungry soul with goodness.
 107:10  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
[being] bound in affliction and iron;
 107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God, and
contemned the counsel of the most High:
 107:12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;
they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
 107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]
he saved them out of their distresses.
 107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of
death, and brake their bands in sunder.
 107:15  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his
goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
 107:16  For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the
bars of iron in sunder.
 107:17  Fools because of their transgression, and because of
their iniquities, are afflicted.
 107:18  Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw
near unto the gates of death.
 107:19  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
saveth them out of their distresses.
 107:20  He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered
[them] from their destructions.
 107:21  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his
goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
 107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and declare his works with rejoicing.
 107:23  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do
business in great waters;
 107:24  These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in
the deep.
 107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which
lifteth up the waves thereof.
 107:26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the
depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
 107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wit's end.
 107:28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he
bringeth them out of their distresses.
 107:29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof
are still.
 107:30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he
bringeth them unto their desired haven.
 107:31  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his
goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
 107:32  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the
people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
 107:33  He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the
watersprings into dry ground;
 107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of
them that dwell therein.
 107:35  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and
dry ground into watersprings.
 107:36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may
prepare a city for habitation;
 107:37  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may
yield fruits of increase.
 107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied
greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
 107:39  Again, they are minished and brought low through
oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
 107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to
wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
 107:41  Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and
maketh [him] families like a flock.
 107:42  The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all
iniquity shall stop her mouth.
 107:43  Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even
they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
 108:1  A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I
will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
 108:2  Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
 108:3  I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I
will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
 108:4  For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy
truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
 108:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy
glory above all the earth;
 108:6  That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy
right hand, and answer me.
 108:7  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will
divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
 108:8  Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]
the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
 108:9  Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my
shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
 108:10  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead
me into Edom?
 108:11  [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and
wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
 108:12  Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of
man.
 108:13  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]
shall tread down our enemies.
 109:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy
peace, O God of my praise;
 109:2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the
deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me
with a lying tongue.
 109:3  They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and
fought against me without a cause.
 109:4  For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself
unto] prayer.
 109:5  And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for
my love.
 109:6  Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at
his right hand.
 109:7  When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let
his prayer become sin.
 109:8  Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
 109:9  Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
 109:10  Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:
let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
 109:11  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let
the strangers spoil his labour.
 109:12  Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither
let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
 109:13  Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation
following let their name be blotted out.
 109:14  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the
LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
 109:15  Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may
cut off the memory of them from the earth.
 109:16  Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but
persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the
broken in heart.
 109:17  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he
delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
 109:18  As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his
garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like
oil into his bones.
 109:19  Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth
him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
 109:20  [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from
the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
 109:21  But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's
sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
 109:22  For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded
within me.
 109:23  I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am
tossed up and down as the locust.
 109:24  My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh
faileth of fatness.
 109:25  I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked
upon me they shaked their heads.
 109:26  Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy
mercy:
 109:27  That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that]
thou, LORD, hast done it.
 109:28  Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let
them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
 109:29  Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let
them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a
mantle.
 109:30  I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I
will praise him among the multitude.
 109:31  For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to
save [him] from those that condemn his soul.
 110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou
at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
 110:2  The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of
Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
 110:3  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.
 110:4  The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a
priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
 110:5  The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings
in the day of his wrath.
 110:6  He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the
places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over
many countries.
 110:7  He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall
he lift up the head.
 111:1  Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my]
whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the
congregation.
 111:2  The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all
them that have pleasure therein.
 111:3  His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
 111:4  He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the
LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.
 111:5  He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will
ever be mindful of his covenant.
 111:6  He hath showed his people the power of his works, that
he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
 111:7  The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all
his commandments [are] sure.
 111:8  They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in
truth and uprightness.
 111:9  He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded
his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.
 111:10  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a
good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]:
his praise endureth for ever.
 112:1  Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth
the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
 112:2  His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of
the upright shall be blessed.
 112:3  Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
 112:4  Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:
[he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
 112:5  A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide
his affairs with discretion.
 112:6  Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous
shall be in everlasting remembrance.
 112:7  He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is
fixed, trusting in the LORD.
 112:8  His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid,
until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
 112:9  He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his
righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with
honour.
 112:10  The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall
gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked
shall perish.
 113:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
 113:2  Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth
and for evermore.
 113:3  From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the
same the LORD's name [is] to be praised.
 113:4  The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory
above the heavens.
 113:5  Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on
high,
 113:6  Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are]
in heaven, and in the earth!
 113:7  He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth
the needy out of the dunghill;
 113:8  That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the
princes of his people.
 113:9  He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a
joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
 114:1  When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from
a people of strange language;
 114:2  Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
 114:3  The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
 114:4  The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills
like lambs.
 114:5  What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou
Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
 114:6  Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye
little hills, like lambs?
 114:7  Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at
the presence of the God of Jacob;
 114:8  Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the
flint into a fountain of waters.
 115:1  Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name
give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
 115:2  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their
God?
 115:3  But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done
whatsoever he hath pleased.
 115:4  Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's
hands.
 115:5  They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they,
but they see not:
 115:6  They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but
they smell not:
 115:7  They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they,
but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
 115:8  They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every
one that trusteth in them.
 115:9  O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help
and their shield.
 115:10  O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their
help and their shield.
 115:11  Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is]
their help and their shield.
 115:12  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.
 115:13  He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small
and great.
 115:14  The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and
your children.
 115:15  Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and
earth.
 115:16  The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but
the earth hath he given to the children of men.
 115:17  The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down
into silence.
 115:18  But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and
for evermore. Praise the LORD.
 116:1  I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and]
my supplications.
 116:2  Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore
will I call upon [him] as long as I live.
 116:3  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of
hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
 116:4  Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I
beseech thee, deliver my soul.
 116:5  Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God
[is] merciful.
 116:6  The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and
he helped me.
 116:7  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath
dealt bountifully with thee.
 116:8  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes
from tears, [and] my feet from falling.
 116:9  I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
 116:10  I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly
afflicted:
 116:11  I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.
 116:12  What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his
benefits toward me?
 116:13  I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the
name of the LORD.
 116:14  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence
of all his people.
 116:15  Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of
his saints.
 116:16  O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant,
[and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
 116:17  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name of the LORD.
 116:18  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence
of all his people,
 116:19  In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of
thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
 117:1  O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye
people.
 117:2  For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the
truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
 118:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because
his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 118:2  Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 118:3  Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 118:4  Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 118:5  I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered
me, [and set me] in a large place.
 118:6  The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man
do unto me?
 118:7  The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:
therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
 118:8  [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put
confidence in man.
 118:9  [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put
confidence in princes.
 118:10  All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the
LORD will I destroy them.
 118:11  They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
 118:12  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.
 118:13  Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the
LORD helped me.
 118:14  The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my
salvation.
 118:15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the
tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth
valiantly.
 118:16  The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand
of the LORD doeth valiantly.
 118:17  I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of
the LORD.
 118:18  The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given
me over unto death.
 118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into
them, [and] I will praise the LORD:
 118:20  This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall
enter.
 118:21  I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art
become my salvation.
 118:22  The stone [which] the builders refused is become the
head [stone] of the corner.
 118:23  This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our
eyes.
 118:24  This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will
rejoice and be glad in it.
 118:25  Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech
thee, send now prosperity.
 118:26  Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD:
we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
 118:27  God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind
the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.
 118:28  Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art]
my God, I will exalt thee.
 118:29  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever.
 119:1  ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk
in the law of the LORD.
 119:2  Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and
that] seek him with the whole heart.
 119:3  They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
 119:4  Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts
diligently.
 119:5  O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
 119:6  Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto
all thy commandments.
 119:7  I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I
shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
 119:8  I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
 119:9  BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by
taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.
 119:10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not
wander from thy commandments.
 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not
sin against thee.
 119:12  Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
 119:13  With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy
mouth.
 119:14  I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as
[much as] in all riches.
 119:15  I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto
thy ways.
 119:16  I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word.
 119:17  GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may
live, and keep thy word.
 119:18  Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things
out of thy law.
 119:19  I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me.
 119:20  My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto
thy judgments at all times.
 119:21  Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which
do err from thy commandments.
 119:22  Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept
thy testimonies.
 119:23  Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy
servant did meditate in thy statutes.
 119:24  Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my
counsellors.
 119:25  DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word.
 119:26  I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach
me thy statutes.
 119:27  Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so
shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
 119:28  My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me
according unto thy word.
 119:29  Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law
graciously.
 119:30  I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I
laid [before me].
 119:31  I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not
to shame.
 119:32  I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou
shalt enlarge my heart.
 119:33  HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I
shall keep it [unto] the end.
 119:34  Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea,
I shall observe it with [my] whole heart.
 119:35  Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for
therein do I delight.
 119:36  Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to
covetousness.
 119:37  Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and]
quicken thou me in thy way.
 119:38  Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted]
to thy fear.
 119:39  Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments
[are] good.
 119:40  Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me
in thy righteousness.
 119:41  VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even]
thy salvation, according to thy word.
 119:42  So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
 119:43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my
mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
 119:44  So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
 119:45  And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
 119:46  I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and
will not be ashamed.
 119:47  And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I
have loved.
 119:48  My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
 119:49  ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope.
 119:50  This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word
hath quickened me.
 119:51  The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have
I not declined from thy law.
 119:52  I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have
comforted myself.
 119:53  Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked
that forsake thy law.
 119:54  Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my
pilgrimage.
 119:55  I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and
have kept thy law.
 119:56  This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
 119:57  CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that
I would keep thy words.
 119:58  I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be
merciful unto me according to thy word.
 119:59  I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy
testimonies.
 119:60  I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments.
 119:61  The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have
not forgotten thy law.
 119:62  At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments.
 119:63  I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and
of them that keep thy precepts.
 119:64  The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy
statutes.
 119:65  TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,
according unto thy word.
 119:66  Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have
believed thy commandments.
 119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I
kept thy word.
 119:68  Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes.
 119:69  The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will
keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
 119:70  Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in
thy law.
 119:71  [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I
might learn thy statutes.
 119:72  The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver.
 119:73  JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me
understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
 119:74  They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;
because I have hoped in thy word.
 119:75  I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and
[that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
 119:76  Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my
comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
 119:77  Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live:
for thy law [is] my delight.
 119:78  Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely
with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.
 119:79  Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that
have known thy testimonies.
 119:80  Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not
ashamed.
 119:81  CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope
in thy word.
 119:82  Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou
comfort me?
 119:83  For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I
not forget thy statutes.
 119:84  How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou
execute judgment on them that persecute me?
 119:85  The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not
after thy law.
 119:86  All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me
wrongfully; help thou me.
 119:87  They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook
not thy precepts.
 119:88  Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep
the testimony of thy mouth.
 119:89  LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in
heaven.
 119:90  Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast
established the earth, and it abideth.
 119:91  They continue this day according to thine ordinances:
for all [are] thy servants.
 119:92  Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then
have perished in mine affliction.
 119:93  I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou
hast quickened me.
 119:94  I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
 119:95  The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I
will consider thy testimonies.
 119:96  I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy
commandment [is] exceeding broad.
 119:97  MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all
the day.
 119:98  Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than
mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
 119:99  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  NUN. 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  SAMECH. 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  AIN. 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  PE. 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  TZADDI. 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  KOPH. 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  RESH. 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  SCHIN. 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  TAU. 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.
 120:1  A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the
LORD, and he heard me.
 120:2  Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a
deceitful tongue.
 120:3  What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done
unto thee, thou false tongue?
 120:4  Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
 120:5  Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in
the tents of Kedar!
 120:6  My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
 120:7  I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
 121:1  A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills, from whence cometh my help.
 121:2  My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and
earth.
 121:3  He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that
keepeth thee will not slumber.
 121:4  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber
nor sleep.
 121:5  The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon
thy right hand.
 121:6  The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by
night.
 121:7  The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall
preserve thy soul.
 121:8  The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
 122:1  A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said
unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
 122:2  Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
 122:3  Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact
together:
 122:4  Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto
the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the
LORD.
 122:5  For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of
the house of David.
 122:6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper
that love thee.
 122:7  Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy
palaces.
 122:8  For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say,
Peace [be] within thee.
 122:9  Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek
thy good.
 123:1  A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O
thou that dwellest in the heavens.
 123:2  Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of
their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of
her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until
that he have mercy upon us.
 123:3  Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we
are exceedingly filled with contempt.
 123:4  Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of
those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
 124:1  A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the
LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
 124:2  If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when
men rose up against us:
 124:3  Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath
was kindled against us:
 124:4  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone
over our soul:
 124:5  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
 124:6  Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a
prey to their teeth.
 124:7  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the
fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
 124:8  Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven
and earth.
 125:1  A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall
be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for
ever.
 125:2  As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the
LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
 125:3  For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot
of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
iniquity.
 125:4  Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to
them that are] upright in their hearts.
 125:5  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.
 126:1  A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the
captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
 126:2  Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue
with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath
done great things for them.
 126:3  The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we
are glad.
 126:4  Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the
south.
 126:5  They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
 126:6  He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
[with him].
 127:1  A Song of degrees for Solomon. 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.
 127:2  [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.
 127:3  Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the
fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
 127:4  As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are]
children of the youth.
 127:5  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.
 128:1  A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth
the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
 128:2  For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy
[shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.
 128:3  Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of
thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy
table.
 128:4  Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth
the LORD.
 128:5  The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt
see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
 128:6  Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and]
peace upon Israel.
 129:1  A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me
from my youth, may Israel now say:
 129:2  Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet
they have not prevailed against me.
 129:3  The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their
furrows.
 129:4  The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords
of the wicked.
 129:5  Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate
Zion.
 129:6  Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which
withereth afore it groweth up:
 129:7  Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that
bindeth sheaves his bosom.
 129:8  Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the
LORD [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
 130:1  A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto
thee, O LORD.
 130:2  Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the
voice of my supplications.
 130:3  If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who
shall stand?
 130:4  But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest
be feared.
 130:5  I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word
do I hope.
 130:6  My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that
watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for
the morning.
 130:7  Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there
is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
 130:8  And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
 131:1  A Song of degrees of David. 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.
 131:2  Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child
that is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned
child.
 131:3  Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for
ever.
 132:1  A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his
afflictions:
 132:2  How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty
[God] of Jacob;
 132:3  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,
nor go up into my bed;
 132:4  I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to
mine eyelids,
 132:5  Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation
for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
 132:6  Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the
fields of the wood.
 132:7  We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his
footstool.
 132:8  Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy
strength.
 132:9  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let
thy saints shout for joy.
 132:10  For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of
thine anointed.
 132:11  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.
 132:12  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.
 132:13  For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it]
for his habitation.
 132:14  This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I
have desired it.
 132:15  I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy
her poor with bread.
 132:16  I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her
saints shall shout aloud for joy.
 132:17  There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have
ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
 132:18  His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself
shall his crown flourish.
 133:1  A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how
pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!
 133:2  [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;
 133:3  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.
 134:1  A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye]
servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the
LORD.
 134:2  Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the
LORD.
 134:3  The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of
Zion.
 135:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD;
praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.
 135:2  Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts
of the house of our God,
 135:3  Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises
unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.
 135:4  For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and]
Israel for his peculiar treasure.
 135:5  For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our
Lord [is] above all gods.
 135:6  Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven,
and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
 135:7  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.
 135:8  Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and
beast.
 135:9  [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O
Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
 135:10  Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
 135:11  Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and
all the kingdoms of Canaan:
 135:12  And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage
unto Israel his people.
 135:13  Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy
memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
 135:14  For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent
himself concerning his servants.
 135:15  The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the
work of men's hands.
 135:16  They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they,
but they see not;
 135:17  They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there
[any] breath in their mouths.
 135:18  They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every
one that trusteth in them.
 135:19  Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O
house of Aaron:
 135:20  Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the
LORD, bless the LORD.
 135:21  Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at
Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
 136:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:2  O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:3  O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:4  To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:5  To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:6  To him that stretched out the earth above the waters:
for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:7  To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever:
 136:8  The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for
ever:
 136:9  The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:10  To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever:
 136:11  And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever:
 136:12  With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for
his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:13  To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever:
 136:14  And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for
his mercy [endureth] for ever:
 136:15  But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for
his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:16  To him which led his people through the wilderness:
for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:17  To him which smote great kings: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever:
 136:18  And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for
ever:
 136:19  Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever:
 136:20  And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever:
 136:21  And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever:
 136:22  [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his
mercy [endureth] for ever.
 136:23  Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever:
 136:24  And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 136:25  Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever.
 136:26  O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
 137:1  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we
wept, when we remembered Zion.
 137:2  We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst
thereof.
 137:3  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.
 137:4  How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
 137:5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget
[her cunning].
 137:6  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.
 137:7  Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of
Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the
foundation thereof.
 137:8  O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy
[shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
 137:9  Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little
ones against the stones.
 138:1  [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole
heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
 138:2  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy
name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast
magnified thy word above all thy name.
 138:3  In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and]
strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.
 138:4  All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,
when they hear the words of thy mouth.
 138:5  Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great
[is] the glory of the LORD.
 138:6  Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the
lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
 138:7  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive
me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of
mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
 138:8  The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy
mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of
thine own hands.
 139:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou
hast searched me, and known [me].
 139:2  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou
understandest my thought afar off.
 139:3  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art
acquainted [with] all my ways.
 139:4  For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O
LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
 139:5  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine
hand upon me.
 139:6  [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high,
I cannot [attain] unto it.
 139:7  Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I
flee from thy presence?
 139:8  If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make
my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].
 139:9  [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in
the uttermost parts of the sea;
 139:10  Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand
shall hold me.
 139:11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the
night shall be light about me.
 139:12  Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night
shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike
[to thee].
 139:13  For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me
in my mother's womb.
 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and]
wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my
soul knoweth right well.
 139:15  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in
secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the
earth.
 139:16  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.
 139:17  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how
great is the sum of them!
 139:18  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than
the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
 139:19  Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from
me therefore, ye bloody men.
 139:20  For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine
enemies take [thy name] in vain.
 139:21  Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not
I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
 139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine
enemies.
 139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know
my thoughts:
 139:24  And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead
me in the way everlasting.
 140:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O
LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
 140:2  Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually
are they gathered together [for] war.
 140:3  They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
adders' poison [is] under their lips. Selah.
 140:4  Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve
me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my
goings.
 140:5  The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have
spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
 140:6  I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice
of my supplications, O LORD.
 140:7  O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast
covered my head in the day of battle.
 140:8  Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further
not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah.
 140:9  [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let
the mischief of their own lips cover them.
 140:10  Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast
into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
 140:11  Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:
evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him].
 140:12  I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the
afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.
 140:13  Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
 141:1  A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste
unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
 141:2  Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense;
[and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
 141:3  Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of
my lips.
 141:4  Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice
wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of
their dainties.
 141:5  Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness:
and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which]
shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in
their calamities.
 141:6  When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they
shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
 141:7  Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when
one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
 141:8  But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee
is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
 141:9  Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me,
and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
 141:10  Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I
withal escape.
 142:1  Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I
cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD
did I make my supplication.
 142:2  I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before
him my trouble.
 142:3  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.
 142:4  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.
 142:5  I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge
[and] my portion in the land of the living.
 142:6  Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver
me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
 142:7  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.
 143:1  A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to
my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy
righteousness.
 143:2  And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in
thy sight shall no man living be justified.
 143:3  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.
 143:4  Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart
within me is desolate.
 143:5  I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy
works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
 143:6  I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth]
after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
 143:7  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.
 143:8  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.
 143:9  Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee
to hide me.
 143:10  Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy
spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
 143:11  Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy
righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
 143:12  And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all
them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
 144:1  [A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
 144:2  My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my
deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my
people under me.
 144:3  LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
[or] the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
 144:4  Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that
passeth away.
 144:5  Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the
mountains, and they shall smoke.
 144:6  Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine
arrows, and destroy them.
 144:7  Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out
of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
 144:8  Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is]
a right hand of falsehood.
 144:9  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a
psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises
unto thee.
 144:10  [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who
delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
 144:11  Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange
children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand
[is] a right hand of falsehood:
 144:12  That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their
youth; [that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished
[after] the similitude of a palace:
 144:13  [That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner
of store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets:
 144:14  [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there
be] no breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no
complaining in our streets.
