| 76:1: |
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: |
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: |
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, shewing 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 shewed 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
enquired 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 caterpiller, and their labour
unto the locust. |
| 78:47: |
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore 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: |
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 shew forth thy praise to all generations. |
|
|
| 80:1: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
Shew 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: |
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: |
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. |
|
|
| 87:1: |
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: |
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 shew 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: |
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 forever, 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: |
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; bu hall 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 shew him my salvation. |
|
|
| 92:1: |
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises
unto thy name, O most High: |
| 92:2: |
To shew 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 shew 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, shew 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; shew 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 tha hall 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: |
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 shewed 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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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, tha hould 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 shi 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 subtilly with his
servants. |
| 105:26: |
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. |
| 105:27: |
They shewed 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 caterpillers, 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 shew 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 Baal-peor, 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 wits' 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: |
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: |
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 shew 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: |
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 shewed 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 sheweth 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 shewed 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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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
d. |
| 119:48: |
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I
d; and I will meditate in thy statutes. |
| 119:49: |
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: |
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy
words. |
| 119:58: |
I intreated 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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
| 119:106: |
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous
judgments. |
| 119:107: |
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy
word. |
| 119:108: |
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
and teach me thy judgments. |
| 119:109: |
My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
| 119:110: |
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy
precepts. |
| 119:111: |
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are
the rejoicing of my heart. |
| 119:112: |
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto
the end. |
| 119:113: |
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. |
| 119:114: |
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
| 119:115: |
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my
God. |
| 119:116: |
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be
ashamed of my hope. |
| 119:117: |
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto
thy statutes continually. |
| 119:118: |
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their
deceit is falsehood. |
| 119:119: |
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I
love thy testimonies. |
| 119:120: |
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy
judgments. |
| 119:121: |
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine
oppressors. |
| 119:122: |
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress
me. |
| 119:123: |
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
righteousness. |
| 119:124: |
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy
statutes. |
| 119:125: |
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy
testimonies. |
| 119:126: |
It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy
law. |
| 119:127: |
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine
gold. |
| 119:128: |
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be
right; and I hate every false way. |
| 119:129: |
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
| 119:130: |
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto
the simple. |
| 119:131: |
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy
commandments. |
| 119:132: |
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto
those that love thy name. |
| 119:133: |
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion
over me. |
| 119:134: |
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy
precepts. |
| 119:135: |
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy
statutes. |
| 119:136: |
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy
law. |
| 119:137: |
Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. |
| 119:138: |
Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very
faithful. |
| 119:139: |
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy
words. |
| 119:140: |
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |
| 119:141: |
I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. |
| 119:142: |
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the
truth. |
| 119:143: |
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are
my delights. |
| 119:144: |
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me
understanding, and I shall live. |
| 119:145: |
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy
statutes. |
| 119:146: |
I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
| 119:147: |
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy
word. |
| 119:148: |
Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy
word. |
| 119:149: |
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me
according to thy judgment. |
| 119:150: |
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy
law. |
| 119:151: |
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. |
| 119:152: |
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast
founded them for ever. |
| 119:153: |
Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy
law. |
| 119:154: |
Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy
word. |
| 119:155: |
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy
statutes. |
| 119:156: |
Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy
judgments. |
| 119:157: |
Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from
thy testimonies. |
| 119:158: |
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not
thy word. |
| 119:159: |
Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to
thy lovingkindness. |
| 119:160: |
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous
judgments endureth for ever. |
| 119:161: |
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in
awe of thy word. |
| 119:162: |
I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
| 119:163: |
I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. |
| 119:164: |
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous
judgments. |
| 119:165: |
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend
them. |
| 119:166: |
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. |
| 119:167: |
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. |
| 119:168: |
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are
before thee. |
| 119:169: |
Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding
according to thy word. |
| 119:170: |
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy
word. |
| 119:171: |
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy
statutes. |
| 119:172: |
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are
righteousness. |
| 119:173: |
Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. |
| 119:174: |
I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my
delight. |
| 119:175: |
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments
help me. |
| 119:176: |
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not
forget thy commandments. |
|
|
| 120:1: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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, Rase it, rase 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: |
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: |
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: |
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: |
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 practise 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: |
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 shewed 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: |
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: |
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. |
| 144:15: |
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that
people, whose God is the LORD. |
|
|
| 145:1: |
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever
and ever. |
| 145:2: |
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and
ever. |
| 145:3: |
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is
unsearchable. |
| 145:4: |
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare
thy mighty acts. |
| 145:5: |
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy
wondrous works. |
| 145:6: |
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will
declare thy greatness. |
| 145:7: |
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and
shall sing of thy righteousness. |
| 145:8: |
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of
great mercy. |
| 145:9: |
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his
works. |
| 145:10: |
All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless
thee. |
| 145:11: |
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy
power; |
| 145:12: |
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious
majesty of his kingdom. |
| 145:13: |
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth
throughout all generations. |
| 145:14: |
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be
bowed down. |
| 145:15: |
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in
due season. |
| 145:16: |
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living
thing. |
| 145:17: |
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his
works. |
| 145:18: |
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call
upon him in truth. |
| 145:19: |
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear
their cry, and will save them. |
| 145:20: |
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will
he destroy. |
| 145:21: |
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless
his holy name for ever and ever. |
|
|
| 146:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
| 146:2: |
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God
while I have any being. |
| 146:3: |
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there
is no help. |
| 146:4: |
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day
his thoughts perish. |
| 146:5: |
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in
the LORD his God: |
| 146:6: |
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which
keepeth truth for ever: |
| 146:7: |
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the
hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: |
| 146:8: |
The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that
are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: |
| 146:9: |
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and
widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
| 146:10: |
The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all
generations. Praise ye the LORD. |
|
|
| 147:1: |
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for
it is pleasant; and praise is comely. |
| 147:2: |
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts
of Israel. |
| 147:3: |
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
| 147:4: |
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their
names. |
| 147:5: |
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is
infinite. |
| 147:6: |
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the
ground. |
| 147:7: |
Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto
our God: |
| 147:8: |
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the
earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. |
| 147:9: |
He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which
cry. |
| 147:10: |
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not
pleasure in the legs of a man. |
| 147:11: |
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in
his mercy. |
| 147:12: |
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. |
| 147:13: |
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy
children within thee. |
| 147:14: |
He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of
the wheat. |
| 147:15: |
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very
swiftly. |
| 147:16: |
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like
ashes. |
| 147:17: |
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his
cold? |
| 147:18: |
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to
blow, and the waters flow. |
| 147:19: |
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto
Israel. |
| 147:20: |
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they
have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. |
|
|
| 148:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him
in the heights. |
| 148:2: |
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. |
| 148:3: |
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. |
| 148:4: |
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the
heavens. |
| 148:5: |
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were
created. |
| 148:6: |
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree
which shall not pass. |
| 148:7: |
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all dee |
| 148:8: |
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his
word: |
| 148:9: |
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: |
| 148:10: |
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: |
| 148:11: |
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the
earth: |
| 148:12: |
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: |
| 148:13: |
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is
excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. |
| 148:14: |
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his
saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye
the LORD. |
|
|
| 149:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in
the congregation of saints. |
| 149:2: |
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be
joyful in their King. |
| 149:3: |
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him
with the timbrel and harp. |
| 149:4: |
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek
with salvation. |
| 149:5: |
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their
beds. |
| 149:6: |
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword
in their hand; |
| 149:7: |
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the
people; |
| 149:8: |
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of
iron; |
| 149:9: |
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his
saints. Praise ye the LORD. |
|
|
| 150:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the
firmament of his power. |
| 150:2: |
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent
greatness. |
| 150:3: |
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the
psaltery and harp. |
| 150:4: |
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs. |
| 150:5: |
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding
cymbals. |
| 150:6: |
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the
LORD. |
