1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
 ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
 seat of scoffers.
1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law
 doth he meditate day and night.
1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
 that bringeth forth its fruit in season; its leaf also shall
 not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.
1:4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the
 wind driveth away.
1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
 sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way
 of the ungodly shall perish.
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
 thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
 counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
 [saying],
2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
 from us.
2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
 have them in derision.
2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them
 in his sore displeasure.
2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou
 [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the heathen [for] thy
 inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy
 possession.
2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
 them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges
 of the earth.
2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the
 way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all
 they that put their trust in him.
3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD,
 how are they multiplied that trouble me? many [are] they that
 rise up against me.
3:2 Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help for
 him in God. Selah.
3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the
 lifter up of my head.
3:4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his
 holy hill. Selah.
3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained
 me.
3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have
 set [themselves] against me on all sides.
3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
 my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of
 the ungodly.
3:8 Salvation [belongeth] to the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon
 thy people. Selah.
4:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me
 when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me
 [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my
 prayer.
4:2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into
 shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after
 falsehood? Selah.
4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
 himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
 your bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
 the LORD.
4:6 [There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good?
 LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time
 [when] their corn and their wine increased.
4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only,
 LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give
 ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
5:2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to
 thee will I pray.
5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
 morning will I direct [my prayer] to thee, and will look up.
5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
 neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
 workers of iniquity.
5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will
 abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
5:7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude
 of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy
 temple.
5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness, because of my
 enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward
 part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulcher;
 they flatter with their tongue.
5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own
 counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their
 transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
 them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them
 also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt
 thou compass him as [with] a shield.
6:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of
 David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me
 in thy hot displeasure.
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal
 me; for my bones are agitated.
6:3 My soul is also greatly disquieted: but thou, O LORD, how
 long?
6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies
 sake.
6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave
 who will give thee thanks?
6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to
 swim; I water my couch with my tears.
6:7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because
 of all my enemies.
6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD
 hath heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive
 my prayer.
6:10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly disquieted: let
 them return [and] be suddenly ashamed.
7:1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning
 the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I
 put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and
 deliver me:
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,
 while [there is] none to deliver.
7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in
 my hands;
7:4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me;
 (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)
7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him
 tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the
 dust. Selah.
7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the
 rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that]
 thou hast commanded.
7:7 So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for
 their sakes therefore return thou on high.
7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
 to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] in
 me.
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
 establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and
 reins.
7:10 My defense [is] from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the
 wicked] every day.
7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his
 bow, and made it ready.
7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
 ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
 mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the
 ditch [which] he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his
 violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
 will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
8:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD
 our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who
 hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
 strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the
 enemy and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the
 moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
 man, that thou visitest him?
8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
 hast crowned him with glory and honor.
8:6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy
 hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatever]
 passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the
 earth!
9:1 To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I
 will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show
 forth all thy wonderful works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to
 thy name, O thou most High.
9:3 When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
 at thy presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou sattest
 on the throne judging right.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
 wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
 thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial hath perished with
 them.
9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
 throne for judgment.
9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
 minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge
 in times of trouble.
9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
 for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion: declare
 among the people his doings.
9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
 he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I
 suffer] from them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from
 the gates of death:
9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the
 daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in
 the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth:
 the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
 Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations
 that forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the
 expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be
 judged in thy sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know
 themselves [to be but] men. Selah.
10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou
 [thyself] in times of trouble?
10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them
 be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
 the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
 seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above
 out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I
 shall] never [be] in adversity.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under
 his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
 secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily
 set against the poor.
10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
 wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth
 him into his net.
10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may
 fall by his strong ones.
10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth
 his face; he will never see [it].
10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the
 humble.
10:13 Why doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
 heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
10:14 Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and
 spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth
 himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek
 out his wickedness [till] thou shalt find none.
10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen have
 perished out of his land.
10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
 prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of
 the earth may no more oppress.
11:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD I
 put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your
 mountain?
11:2 For lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their
 arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
 upright in heart.
11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
11:4 The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in
 heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.
11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
 loveth violence his soul hateth.
11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
 and a horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their
 cup.
11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his
 countenance beholdeth the upright.
12:1 To the chief Musician upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
 from among the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: [with]
 flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the
 tongue that speaketh proud things:
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
 [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the
 needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in
 safety [from him that] puffeth at him.
12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried
 in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
 this generation for ever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
 exalted.
13:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou
 forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face
 from me?
13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow
 in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes,
 lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;
13:4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and]
 those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in
 thy salvation.
13:6 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
 with me.
14:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath
 said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they
 have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
 to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.
14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become
 filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up
 my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
14:5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the
 generation of the righteous.
14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD
 [is] his refuge.
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
 when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
 shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
15:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
 who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
 speaketh the truth in his heart.
15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to
 his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.
15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth
 them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt,
 and changeth not.
15:5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh
 reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall
 never be moved.
16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put
 my trust.
16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my
 LORD: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the
 excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after]
 another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,
 nor take their names into my lips.
16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:
 thou maintainest my lot.
16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, I
 have a goodly heritage.
16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
 also instruct me in the night season.
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my
 right hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my
 flesh also shall rest in hope.
16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
 suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is]
 fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for
 evermore.
17:1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my
 cry, give ear to my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned
 lips.
17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes
 behold the things that are equal.
17:3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited [me] in the
 night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I have
 purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
 kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
17:5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip
 not.
17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:
 incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.
17:7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by
 thy right hand them who put their trust [in thee] from those
 that rise up [against them].
17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of
 thy wings.
17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies,
 [who] encompass me,
17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
 speak proudly.
17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set
 their eyes bowing down to the earth;
17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it
 were a young lion lurking in secret places.
17:13 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my
 soul from the wicked, [who is] thy sword:
17:14 From men [who are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the
 world, [who have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly
 thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of
 children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their
 babes.
17:15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I
 shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of
 the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the
 day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his
 enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love
 thee, O LORD, my strength.
18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
 my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
 horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised:
 so shall I be saved from my enemies.
18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of
 ungodly men made me afraid.
18:5 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death
 seized me.
18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God:
 he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
 him, [even] into his ears.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of
 the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of
 his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness
 [was] under his feet.
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the
 wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him
 [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds
 passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest
 gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
18:14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he
 shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations
 of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
 of the breath of thy nostrils.
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many
 waters.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who
 hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18:18 They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD
 was my stay.
18:19 He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered
 me, because he delighted in me.
18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
 according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not
 wickedly departed from my God.
18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put
 away his statutes from me.
18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my
 iniquity.
18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
 righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
 sight.
18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an
 upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the
 froward thou wilt contend.
18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring
 down high looks.
18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will
 enlighten my darkness.
18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have
 I leaped over a wall.
18:30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD
 is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save
 our God?
18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my
 way perfect.
18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon
 my high places.
18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is
 broken by my arms.
18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and
 thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me
 great.
18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not
 slip.
18:37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did
 I turn again till they were consumed.
18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they
 have fallen under my feet.
18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast
 subdued under me those that rose up against me.
18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I
 might destroy them that hate me.
18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]: [even] to
 the LORD, but he answered them not.
18:42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast
 them out as the dirt in the streets.
18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
 [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people
 [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the
 strangers shall submit themselves to me.
18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid from their
 close places.
18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God
 of my salvation be exalted.
18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people
 under me.
18:48 He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up
 above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me
 from the violent man.
18:49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the
 heathen, and sing praises to thy name.
18:50 He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy
 to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens
 declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of
 his hands.
19:2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth
 knowledge.
19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is
 not heard.
19:4 Their line hath gone out through all the earth, and their
 words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
 for the sun,
19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and]
 rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his
 circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from his
 heat.
19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the
 testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:
 the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the
 judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yes, than much
 fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
19:11 Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping
 of them [there is] great reward.
19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from
 secret [faults].
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let
 them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I
 shall be innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
 be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my
 redeemer.
20:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee
 in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend
 thee.
20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out
 of Zion.
20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice.
 Selah.
20:4 Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy
 counsel.
20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our
 God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfill all thy
 petitions.
20:6 Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear
 him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right
 hand.
20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
 remember the name of the LORD our God.
20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and
 stand upright.
20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
21:1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. The king shall joy
 in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall
 he rejoice!
21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
 withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
21:3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou
 hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] to him,
 [even] length of days for ever and ever.
21:5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honor and majesty
 hast thou laid upon him.
21:6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast
 made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
 the most High he shall not be moved.
21:8 Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand
 shall find out those that hate thee.
21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy
 anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the
 fire shall devour them.
21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their
 seed from among the children of men.
21:11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
 mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
21:12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when]
 thou shalt make ready [thy arrows] upon thy strings against the
 face of them.
21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: [so] will we
 sing and praise thy power.
22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of
 David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou
 so far] from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
22:2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not; and
 in the night season, and am not silent.
22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises
 of Israel.
22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
 deliver them.
22:5 They cried to thee, and were delivered: they trusted in
 thee, and were not confounded.
22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
 despised by the people.
22:7 All they that see me deride me: they shoot out the lip,
 they shake the head, [saying],
22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him
 deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
22:9 But thou [art] he that brought me forth into life: thou
 didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
22:10 I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou [art] my God from
 the time I was born.
22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is]
 none to help.
22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan
 have beset me round.
22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening
 and a roaring lion.
22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of
 joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my
 bowels.
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
 cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
 death.
22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked
 have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
22:17 I may number all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
 vesture.
22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste
 thee to help me.
22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power
 of the dog.
22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from
 the horns of the unicorns.
22:22 I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of
 the congregation will I praise thee.
22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of
 Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of
 the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when
 he cried to him, he heard.
22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I
 will pay my vows before them that fear him.
22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
 LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the
 LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
 thee.
22:28 For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the governor
 among the nations.
22:29 All [they that are] fat upon earth shall eat and worship:
 all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and
 none can keep alive his own soul.
22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD
 for a generation.
22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a
 people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not
 want.
23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
 beside the still waters.
23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
 righteousness for his name's sake.
23:4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of
 death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and
 thy staff they comfort me.
23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my
 enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
 my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the
 fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it
 upon the floods.
24:3 Who shall ascend upon the hill of the LORD? and who shall
 stand in his holy place?
24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
 lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and
 righteousness from the God of his salvation.
24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek
 thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye
 everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? the LORD strong and mighty,
 the LORD mighty in battle.
24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye
 everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
24:10 Who is this King of glory? the LORD of hosts, he [is] the
 King of glory. Selah.
25:1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not
 my enemies triumph over me,
25:3 Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
 ashamed who transgress without cause.
25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God
 of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving
 kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
 according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake,
 O LORD.
25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach
 sinners in the way.
25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he
 teach his way.
25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as
 keep his covenant and his testimonies.
25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it
 [is] great.
25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach
 in the way [that] he shall choose.
25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit
 the earth.
25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and
 he will show them his covenant.
25:15 My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my
 feet out of the net.
25:16 Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am]
 desolate and afflicted.
25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out
 of my distresses.
25:18 Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
 sins.
25:19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me
 with cruel hatred.
25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for
 I put my trust in thee.
25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on
 thee.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
26:1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in
 my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I
 shall not slide.
26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my
 heart.
26:3 For thy loving-kindness [is] before my eyes: and I have
 walked in thy truth.
26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
 dissemblers.
26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not
 sit with the wicked.
26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy
 altar, O LORD:
26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell
 of all thy wondrous works.
26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the
 place where thy honor dwelleth.
26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody
 men:
26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full
 of bribes.
26:11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and
 be merciful to me.
26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations
 will I bless the LORD.
27:1 [A Psalm] of David. The LORD [is] my light and my
 salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my
 life; of whom shall I be afraid?
27:2 When the wicked, [even] my enemies and my foes, came upon
 me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
27:3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
 fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be]
 confident.
27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek
 after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
 of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in
 his temple.
27:5 For in the time of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion:
 in the secret of his tabernacle will he hide me; he will set me
 up upon a rock.
27:6 And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me:
 therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I
 will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also
 upon me, and answer me.
27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee,
 Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
27:9 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in
 anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake
 me, O God of my salvation.
27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD
 will take me up.
27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
 because of my enemies.
27:12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false
 witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out
 cruelty.
27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness
 of the LORD in the land of the living.
27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he will
 strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
28:1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be
 not silent to me: lest, [if] thou shouldst be silent to me, I
 should become like them that go down into the pit.
28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to thee,
 when I lift my hands towards thy holy oracle.
28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
 iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief [is]
 in their hearts.
28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
 wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of
 their hands; render to them their desert.
28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
 operation of his hands, he will destroy them, and not build
 them up.
28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of
 my supplications.
28:7 The LORD [is] my strength, and my shield; my heart trusted
 in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
 and with my song will I praise him.
28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving
 strength of his anointed.
28:9 Save thy people, and bless thy inheritance: feed them also,
 and lift them up for ever.
29:1 A Psalm of David. Give to the LORD, O ye mighty, give to
 the LORD glory and strength.
29:2 Give to the LORD, the glory due to his name; worship the
 LORD in the beauty of holiness.
29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of
 glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.
29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD
 [is] full of majesty.
29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yes, the LORD
 breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
 like a young unicorn.
29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD
 shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and maketh
 bare the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of
 [his] glory.
29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yes, the LORD sitteth
 king for ever.
29:11 The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will
 bless his people with peace.
30:1 A Psalm [and] Song, [at] the dedication of the house of
 David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
 and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
30:2 O LORD my God, I cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou
 hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
30:4 Sing to the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at
 the remembrance of his holiness.
30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favor [is]
 life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the
 morning.
30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
30:7 LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand
 strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and to the LORD I made
 supplication.
30:9 What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to the
 pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my
 helper.
30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou
 hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and
 not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for
 ever.
31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD,
 do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy
 righteousness.
31:2 Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
 strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
31:3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy
 name's sake lead me, and guide me.
31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
 for thou [art] my strength.
31:5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
 LORD God of truth.
31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust
 in the LORD.
31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
 considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou
 hast set my foot in a large room.
31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is
 consumed with grief, [yes], my soul and my belly.
31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with
 sighing: my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my
 bones are consumed.
31:11 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially
 among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that
 saw me without fled from me.
31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a
 broken vessel.
31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every
 side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised
 to take away my life.
31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.
31:15 My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my
 enemies, and from them that persecute me.
31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
 mercies' sake.
31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon
 thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
 grave.
31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
 things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
31:19 [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up
 for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them
 that trust in thee before the sons of men!
31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from
 the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
 from the strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his wonderful
 kindness in a strong city.
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes:
 nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I
 cried to thee.
31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD
 preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud
 doer.
31:24 Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart, all
 ye that hope in the LORD.
32:1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose]
 transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.
32:2 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD imputeth not
 iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
32:3 When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring
 all the day long.
32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture
 is turned into the drouth of summer. Selah.
32:5 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not
 hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and
 thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a
 time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
 waters they shall not come nigh to him.
32:7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from
 trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
 Selah.
32:8 I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou
 shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.
32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no
 understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
 lest they come near to thee.
32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that
 trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.
32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout
 for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely
 for the upright.
33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery
 [and] an instrument of ten strings.
33:3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are
 done] in truth.
33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of
 the goodness of the LORD.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the
 host of them by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he
 layeth up the depth in store-houses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
 the world stand in awe of him.
33:9 For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood
 fast.
33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he
 maketh the devices of the people of no effect.
33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of
 his heart to all generations.
33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the
 people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
 men.
33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
 inhabitants of the earth.
33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
 works.
33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a
 mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
33:17 A horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he
 deliver [any] by his great strength.
33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him,
 upon them that hope in his mercy;
33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive
 in famine.
33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our
 shield.
33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have
 trusted in his holy name.
33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in
 thee.
34:1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behavior before
 Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless
 the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in
 my mouth.
34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall
 hear [of it] and be glad.
34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
 together.
34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from
 all my fears.
34:5 They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces
 were not ashamed.
34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved
 him out of all his troubles.
34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him,
 and delivereth them.
34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the
 man [that] trusteth in him.
34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to
 them that fear him.
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that
 seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
34:11 Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the
 fear of the LORD.
34:12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many]
 days, that he may see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
 guile.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his
 ears [are open] to their cry.
34:16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to
 cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
34:17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth
 them out of all their troubles.
34:18 The LORD [is] nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and
 saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
 delivereth him out of them all.
34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the
 righteous shall be desolate.
34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of
 them that trust in him shall be desolate.
35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them
 that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them
 that persecute me: say to my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my
 soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that
 devise my hurt.
35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of
 the LORD chase [them].
35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of
 the LORD persecute them.
35:7 For without cause they have hid for me their net [in] a
 pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net
 that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let
 him fall.
35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice
 in his salvation.
35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like thee, who
 deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even
 the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
35:11 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge [things]
 that I knew not.
35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my
 soul.
35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]
 sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer
 returned into my own bosom.
35:14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or]
 brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his]
 mother.
35:15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and assembled
 themselves: [yes], the abjects assembled themselves against me,
 and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me
 with their teeth.
35:17 LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from
 their destructions, my darling from the lions.
35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will
 praise thee among many people.
35:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over
 me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a
 cause.
35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful
 matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
35:21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said,
 Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD,
 be not far from me.
35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] to my
 cause, my God and my LORD.
35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness;
 and let them not rejoice over me.
35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it:
 let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
 rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor
 that magnify [themselves] against me.
35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my
 righteous cause: yes, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
 magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of
 thy praise all the day long.
36:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of
 the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my
 heart, [that there is] no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his
 iniquity is found to be hateful.
36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath
 ceased to be wise, [and] to do good.
36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a
 way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy
 faithfulness [reacheth] to the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy
 judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and
 beast.
36:7 How excellent [is] thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore
 the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy
 wings.
36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
 house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
 pleasures.
36:9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall
 we see light.
36:10 O continue thy loving-kindness to them that know thee; and
 thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
 hand of the wicked remove me.
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast
 down, and shall not be able to rise.
37:1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil doers,
 neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither
 as the green herb.
37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in
 the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he will give thee the
 desires of thy heart.
37:5 Commit thy way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he will
 bring [it] to pass.
37:6 And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
 thy judgment as the noon-day.
37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not
 thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of
 the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in
 any wise to do evil.
37:9 For evil doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon
 the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]:
 yes, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall]
 not [be].
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
 themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon
 him with his teeth.
37:13 The LORD will laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
 coming.
37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their
 bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as are
 of upright deportment.
37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their
 bows shall be broken.
37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the
 riches of many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
 upholdeth the righteous.
37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
 inheritance shall be for ever.
37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the
 days of famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD
 [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke
 shall they consume away.
37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the
 righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
37:22 For [such as are] blessed by him shall inherit the earth;
 and [they that are] cursed by him shall be cut off.
37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he
 delighteth in his way.
37:24 Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
 for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet I have not seen
 the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is]
 blessed.
37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his
 saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
 shall be cut off.
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein
 for ever.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
 talketh of judgment.
37:31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps
 shall slide.
37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay
 him.
37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him
 when he is judged.
37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee
 to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt
 see [it].
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading
 himself like a green bay tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, and lo, he [was] not: yes, I sought
 him, but he could not be found.
37:37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the
 end of [that] man [is] peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end
 of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he
 is] their strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 And the LORD will help them, and deliver them: he will
 deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust
 in him.
38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke
 me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
38:2 For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy
 upon me.
38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger;
 neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
38:4 For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden
 they are too heavy for me.
38:5 My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my
 foolishness.
38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all
 the day long.
38:7 For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and
 [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
38:8 I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason
 of the disquietness of my heart.
38:9 LORD, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is
 not hid from thee.
38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light
 of my eyes, that also is gone from me.
38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction;
 and my kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and
 they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine
 deceits all the day long.
38:13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb
 man [that] openeth not his mouth.
38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth
 [are] no reproofs.
38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O LORD my
 God.
38:16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should
 rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify
 [themselves] against me.
38:17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually
 before me.
38:18 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my
 sin.
38:19 But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and
 they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries;
 because I follow [the thing that is] good.
38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
38:22 Make haste to help me, O LORD my salvation.
39:1 To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of
 David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with
 my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
 is before me.
39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good;
 and my sorrow was stirred.
39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire
 burned: [then] I spoke with my tongue.
39:4 LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days,
 what it [is]; [that] I may know how frail I [am].
39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] a hand-breadth; and my
 age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best
 state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are
 disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who
 shall gather them.
39:7 And now, LORD, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the
 reproach of the foolish.
39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it].
39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me; I am consumed by the blow
 of thy hand.
39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
 makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man
 [is] vanity. Selah.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not
 thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a
 sojourner, as all my fathers [were].
39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go
 hence, and be no more.
40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently
 for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the
 miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my
 goings.
40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise to
 our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the
 LORD.
40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
 respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
40:5 Many, O LORD, my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which]
 thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] toward us, they
 cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: [if] I would declare
 and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast
 thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not
 required.
40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is]
 written of me,
40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is]
 within my heart.
40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
 lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
 declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
 concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great
 congregation.
40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let
 thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
40:12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities
 have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they
 are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth
 me.
40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to
 help me.
40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek
 after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and
 put to shame that wish me evil.
40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say
 to me, Aha, aha.
40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
 let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be
 magnified.
40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the LORD thinketh upon
 me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my
 God.
41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he
 that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the
 time of trouble.
41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he
 shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him
 to the will of his enemies.
41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
 thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have
 sinned against thee.
41:5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his
 name perish?
41:6 And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart
 gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he
 telleth [it].
41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
 they devise my hurt.
41:8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and
 [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.
41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of
 my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that
 I may requite them.
41:11 By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy
 doth not triumph over me.
41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and
 settest me before thy face for ever.
41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and
 to everlasting. Amen, and amen.
42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As
 the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul panteth
 after thee, O God.
42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I
 come and appear before God?
42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they
 continually say to me, Where [is] thy God?
42:4 When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:
 for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the
 house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a
 multitude that kept holy-day.
42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou
 disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him
 [for] the help of his countenance.
42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
 remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
 from the hill Mizar.
42:7 Deep calleth to deep at the noise of thy water-spouts: all
 thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his loving-kindness in the
 day-time, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and]
 my prayer to the God of my life.
42:9 I will say to God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why
 go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me;
 while they say daily to me, Where [is] thy God?
42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
 disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise
 him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
 nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou cast
 me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the
 enemy?
43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let
 them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
43:4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding
 joy: yes, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
 disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him,
 [who] is the health of my countenance, and my God.
44:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We
 have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
 [what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
44:2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and
 didst plant them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast
 them out.
44:3 For they obtained not the land in possession by their own
 sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand,
 and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou
 hadst a favor to them.
44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy
 name we will tread them under that rise up against us.
44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save
 me.
44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them
 to shame that hated us.
44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for
 ever. Selah.
44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not
 forth with our armies.
44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who
 hate us plunder for themselves.
44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for food; and
 hast scattered us among the heathen.
44:12 Thou sellest thy people for naught, and dost not increase
 [thy wealth] by their price.
44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a
 derision to them that are around us.
44:14 Thou makest us a by-word among the heathen, a shaking of
 the head among the people.
44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of
 my face hath covered me,
44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
 reason of the enemy and avenger.
44:17 All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee,
 neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps
 declined from thy way;
44:19 Though thou hast severely broke us in the place of
 dragons, and covered us with the shades of death.
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out
 our hands to a strange god;
44:21 Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets
 of the heart.
44:22 Yes, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
 counted as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O LORD? arise, cast [us] not off
 for ever.
44:24 Why hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction
 and our oppression?
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
 to the earth.
44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of
 Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good
 matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the
 king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.
45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured
 into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy
 glory and thy majesty.
45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
 meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
 thee terrible things.
45:5 Thy arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
 [by which] the people fall under thee.
45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the scepter of
 thy kingdom [is] a scepter of justice.
45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
 God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above
 thy fellows.
45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia,
 out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad.
45:9 Kings daughters [were] among thy honorable women: upon thy
 right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear;
 forget also thy own people, and thy father's house;
45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is]
 thy lord; and worship thou him.
45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
 [even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing
 [is] of wrought gold.
45:14 She shall be brought to the king in raiment of
 needle-work: the virgins her companions that follow her shall
 be brought to thee.
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they
 shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou
 mayest make princes in all the earth.
45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
 therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon
 Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help
 in trouble.
46:2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth shall be
 removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the
 midst of the sea;
46:3 [Though] its waters shall roar [and] be disturbed, [though]
 the mountains shake with the swelling of it. Selah.
46:4 [There is] a river, the streams of which shall make glad
 the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the
 Most High.
46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God
 shall help her, [and that] right early.
46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his
 voice, the earth melted.
46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our
 refuge. Selah.
46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he
 hath made in the earth.
46:9 He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he
 breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth the
 chariot in the fire.
46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted
 among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our
 refuge. Selah.
47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O
 clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of
 triumph.
47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King
 over all the earth.
47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under
 our feet.
47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of
 Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a
 trumpet.
47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises to our
 King, sing praises.
47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises
 with understanding.
47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne
 of his holiness.
47:9 The princes of the people are assembled, [even] the people
 of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] to
 God: he is greatly exalted.
48:1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the
 LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in]
 the mountain of his holiness.
48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is]
 mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great
 King.
48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
48:4 For lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
48:5 They saw [it], [and] so they wondered; they were troubled,
 [and] hasted away.
48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman
 in travail.
48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD
 of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for
 ever. Selah.
48:9 We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst
 of thy temple.
48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise to the
 ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be
 glad, because of thy judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round her: number her towers.
48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye
 may tell [it] to the generation following.
48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be
 our guide [even] to death.
49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear
 this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the
 world:
49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor together.
49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my
 heart [shall be] of understanding.
49:4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark
 saying upon the harp.
49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity
 of my heels shall encompass me?
49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in
 the multitude of their riches;
49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor
 give to God a ransom for him:
49:8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it
 ceaseth for ever:)
49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see
 corruption.
49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and
 the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
49:11 Their inward thought [is], [that] their houses [shall
 continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all
 generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.
49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honor abideth not: he is like
 the beasts [that] perish.
49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity
 approve their sayings. Selah.
49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
 them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
 morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their
 dwelling.
49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:
 for he shall receive me. Selah.
49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory
 of his house is increased;
49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory
 shall not descend after him.
49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will
 praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall
 never see light.
49:20 Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the
 beasts [that] perish.
50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath
 spoken, and called the earth from the rising to the setting of
 the sun.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire
 shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous
 around him.
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth,
 that he may judge his people.
50:5 Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a
 covenant with me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God
 [is] judge himself. Selah.
50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will
 testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy
 burnt-offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out
 of thy folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle
 upon a thousand hills.
50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts
 of the field [are] mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world
 [is] mine, and the fullness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of
 goats?
50:14 Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the Most
 High:
50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver
 thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
50:16 But to the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to
 declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant
 in thy mouth?
50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words
 behind thee.
50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him,
 and hast been partaker with adulterers.
50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth
 deceit.
50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou
 slanderest thy own mother's son.
50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
 thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself:
 [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine
 eyes.
50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you]
 in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
50:23 Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that
 ordereth [his] deportment [aright] will I show the salvation of
 God.
51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the
 prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have
 mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness:
 according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my
 transgressions.
51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my
 sin.
51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever
 before me.
51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this]
 evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when thou
 speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.
51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
 conceive me.
51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
 hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
 shall be whiter than snow.
51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which]
 thou hast broken may rejoice.
51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
 spirit within me.
51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
 spirit from me.
51:12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
 [with thy] free spirit.
51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners
 shall be converted to thee.
51:14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my
 salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy
 righteousness.
51:15 O LORD, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth
 thy praise.
51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I give [it]:
 thou delightest not in burnt-offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and
 a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion: build thou the walls
 of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
 righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering:
 then shall they offer bullocks upon thy altar.
52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when
 Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is
 come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in
 mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth]
 continually.
52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
 deceitfully.
52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to
 speak righteousness. Selah.
52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take
 thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root
 thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
 him:
52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but
 trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened
 himself in his wickedness.
52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I
 trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]:
 and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy
 saints.
53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They
 are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none
 that doeth good.
53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
 see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.
53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
 filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
 people [as] they eat bread! they have not called upon God.
53:5 There they were in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God
 hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee:
 thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them.
53:6 O that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
 when God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
 rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David
 hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me
 by thy strength.
54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek
 after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
54:4 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that
 uphold my soul.
54:5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy
 truth.
54:6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O
 LORD; for [it is] good.
54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye
 hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from
 my supplication.
55:2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and
 make a noise;
55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the
 oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and
 in wrath they hate me.
55:4 My heart is severely pained within me: and the terrors of
 death have fallen upon me.
55:5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror
 hath overwhelmed me.
55:6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! [for then] I
 would fly away, and be at rest.
55:7 Lo, [then] I would wander far off, [and] remain in the
 wilderness. Selah.
55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and]
 tempest.
55:9 Destroy, O LORD, [and] divide their tongues: for I have
 seen violence and strife in the city.
55:10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls: mischief
 also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst of it: deceit and guile
 depart not from her streets.
55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I
 could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that]
 magnified [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself
 from him:
55:13 But [it was] thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my
 acquaintance.
55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked to the house
 of God in company.
55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick
 into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among
 them.
55:16 As for me, I will call upon God: and the LORD will save
 me.
55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry
 aloud: and he will hear my voice.
55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that
 was] against me: for there were many with me.
55:19 God will hear and afflict them, even he that abideth of
 old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear
 not God.
55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace
 with him: he hath broken his covenant.
55:21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but
 war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet
 [were] they drawn swords.
55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain thee:
 he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
55:23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of
 destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
 their days; but I will trust in thee.
56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of
 David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to
 me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily
 oppresseth me.
56:2 My enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they are] many
 that fight against me, O thou Most High.
56:3 In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust;
 I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]
 against me for evil.
56:6 They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark
 my steps, when they wait for my soul.
56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity; in [thy] anger cast down the
 people, O God.
56:8 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy
 bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
56:9 When I cry [to thee], then shall my enemies turn back: this
 I know; for God [is] for me.
56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise
 [his] word.
56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man
 can do to me.
56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises to
 thee.
56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt thou]
 not [deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God
 in the light of the living?
57:1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when
 he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be
 merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the
 shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these]
 calamities are overpast.
57:2 I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth [all
 things] for me.
57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach
 of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth
 his mercy and his truth.
57:4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them
 that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are]
 spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory
 [be] above all the earth.
57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed
 down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which
 they have fallen [themselves]. Selah.
57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing
 and give praise.
57:8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will
 awake early.
57:9 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing
 to thee among the nations.
57:10 For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to
 the clouds.
57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory
 [be] above all the earth.
58:1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye
 indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge
 uprightly, O ye sons of men?
58:2 Yes, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of
 your hands in the earth.
58:3 The wicked are estranged from their birth: they go astray
 as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are]
 like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming
 never so wisely.
58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
 great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
58:7 Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually:
 [when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as
 cut in pieces.
58:8 As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass
 away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not
 see the sun.
58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them
 away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:
 he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for
 the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
59:1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when
 Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me
 from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up
 against me.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from
 bloody men.
59:3 For lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are
 gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my
 sin, O LORD.
59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake
 to help me, and behold.
59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,
 awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked
 transgressors. Selah.
59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and
 go about the city.
59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in
 their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all
 the heathen in derision.
59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God
 [is] my defense.
59:10 The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see
 [my desire] upon my enemies.
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy
 power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.
59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips
 let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and
 lying [which] they speak.
59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may]
 not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the
 ends of the earth. Selah.
59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a
 noise like a dog, and go about the city.
59:15 Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they
 are not satisfied.
59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yes, I will sing aloud of
 thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and
 refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17 To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my
 defense, [and] the God of my mercy.
60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David,
 to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with
 Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley
 of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou
 hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to
 us again.
60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:
 heal its breaches; for it shaketh.
60:3 Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us
 to drink the wine of astonishment.
60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it
 may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right
 hand, and hear me.
60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will
 divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]
 the strength of my head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
 Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me
 into Edom?
60:10 [Wilt] thou not, O God, [who] hadst cast us off? and
 [thou], O God, [who] didst not go out with our armies?
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down
 our enemies.
61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.
 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart
 is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower
 from the enemy.
61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in
 the covert of thy wings. Selah.
61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me]
 the heritage of those that fear thy name.
61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many
 generations.
61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and
 truth, [which] may preserve him.
61:8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may
 daily perform my vows.
62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly
 my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense;
 I shall not be greatly moved.
62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall
 be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be], [and as] a
 tottering fence.
62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellence:
 they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they
 curse inwardly. Selah.
62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is]
 from him.
62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defense;
 I shall not be moved.
62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my
 strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.
62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart
 before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
62:9 Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high
 degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are]
 altogether [lighter] than vanity.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:
 if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power
 [belongeth] to God.
62:12 Also to thee, O LORD, [belongeth] mercy: for thou
 renderest to every man according to his work.
63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O
 God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
 thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
 thirsty land, where no water is;
63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in
 the sanctuary.
63:3 Because thy loving-kindness [is] better than life, my lips
 shall praise thee.
63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my
 hands in thy name.
63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;
 and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in
 the [night] watches.
63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of
 thy wings will I rejoice.
63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
 me.
63:9 But those [that] seek my soul to destroy [it], shall go
 into the lower parts of the earth.
63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for
 foxes.
63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth
 by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall
 be stopped.
64:1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O
 God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
 insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows
 to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do
 they shoot at him, and fear not.
64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune
 of laying snares privily; they say, Who will see them?
64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent
 search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and
 the heart, [is] deep.
64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall
 they be wounded.
64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon
 themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God;
 for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust
 in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise
 waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be
 performed.
65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.
65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions,
 thou shalt purge them away.
65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to
 approach [to thee], [that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall
 be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy
 temple.
65:5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us,
 O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the
 ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the
 sea:
65:6 Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being]
 girded with power:
65:7 Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
 waves, and the tumult of the people.
65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at
 thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and
 evening to rejoice.
65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
 enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water:
 thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
65:10 Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest
 the furrows of it: thou makest it soft with showers: thou
 blessest the springing of it.
65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths
 drop fatness.
65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the
 little hills rejoice on every side.
65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
 covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful
 noise to God, all ye lands:
66:2 Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
66:3 Say to God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through
 the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves
 to thee.
66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee;
 they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.
66:5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]
 doing towards the children of men.
66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the
 flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.
66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the
 nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his
 praise to be heard:
66:9 Who holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to
 be moved.
66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as
 silver is tried.
66:11 Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid
 affliction upon our loins.
66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went
 through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into
 a wealthy [place].
66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay
 thee my vows,
66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when
 I was in trouble.
66:15 I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings, with
 the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare
 what he hath done for my soul.
66:17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
 tongue.
66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear
 [me]:
66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the
 voice of my prayer.
66:20 Blessed [be] God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor
 his mercy from me.
67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. God
 be merciful to us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine
 upon us. Selah.
67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health
 among all nations.
67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
 praise thee.
67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt
 judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
 earth. Selah.
67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
 praise thee.
67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,
 [even] our own God, will bless us.
67:7 God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear
 him.
68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God
 arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate
 him flee before him.
68:2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax
 melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the
 presence of God.
68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
 yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
68:4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that
 rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before
 him.
68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is]
 God in his holy habitation.
68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those
 who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
 [land].
68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
 didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence
 of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God,
 the God of Israel.
68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou
 didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.
68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
 prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
68:11 The LORD gave the word: great [was] the company of those
 that published [it].
68:12 Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home
 divided the spoil.
68:13 Though ye have lain among the pots, [yet shall ye be as]
 the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with
 yellow gold.
68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as
 snow in Salmon.
68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; a high hill
 [as] the hill of Bashan.
68:16 Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? [this is] the hill [which]
 God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell [in it] for
 ever.
68:17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even]
 thousands of angels: the LORD [is] among them, [as in] Sinai,
 in the holy [place].
68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity
 captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yes, [for] the
 rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
68:19 Blessed [be] the LORD, [who] daily loadeth us [with
 benefits], [even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and to God
 the LORD [belong] the issues from death.
68:21 But God will wound the head of his enemies, [and] the
 hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
68:22 The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will
 bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea.
68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies,
 [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my
 God, my King, in the sanctuary.
68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments
 [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with
 timbrels.
68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the LORD, from
 the fountain of Israel.
68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes
 of Judah [and] their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the
 princes of Naphtali.
68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,
 that which thou hast wrought for us.
68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
 presents to thee.
68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the
 bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one shall]
 submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people
 [that] delight in war.
68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch
 out her hands to God.
68:32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises [to]
 the LORD; Selah:
68:33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which
 were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a
 mighty voice.
68:34 Ascribe ye strength to God: his excellence [is] over
 Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God
 of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power to [his]
 people. Blessed [be] God.
69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David.
 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to [my] soul.
69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am
 come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail
 while I wait for my God.
69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs
 of my head: they that would destroy me, [being] my enemies
 wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not
 away.
69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid
 from thee.
69:6 Let not them that wait on thee, O LORD God of hosts, be
 ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded
 for my sake, O God of Israel.
69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath
 covered my face.
69:8 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my
 mother's children.
69:9 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the
 reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.
69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that
 was to my reproach.
69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb
 to them.
69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]
 the song of the drunkards.
69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] to thee, O LORD, [in] an
 acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,
 in the truth of thy salvation.
69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
 delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
69:15 Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep
 swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness [is] good: turn
 to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in
 trouble: hear me speedily.
69:18 Draw nigh to my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because
 of my enemies.
69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my
 dishonor: my adversaries [are] all before thee.
69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:
 and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and
 for comforters, but I found none.
69:21 They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they
 gave me vinegar to drink.
69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and [that
 which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a
 trap.
69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make
 their loins continually to shake.
69:24 Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
 anger take hold of them.
69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in
 their tents.
69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they
 talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
69:27 Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into
 thy righteousness.
69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not
 be written with the righteous.
69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God,
 set me up on high.
69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will
 magnify him with thanksgiving.
69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or]
 bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
69:32 The humble shall see [this], [and] be glad: and your heart
 shall live that seek God.
69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
 prisoners.
69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every
 thing that moveth therein.
69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of
 Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they
 that love his name shall dwell therein.
70:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David to bring to
 remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to
 help me, O LORD.
70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
 let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire
 my hurt.
70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that
 say, Aha, aha.
70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
 and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be
 magnified.
70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou
 [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.
71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to
 confusion.
71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
 incline thy ear to me, and save me.
71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually
 resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art]
 my rock and my fortress.
71:4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the
 hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O LORD God: [thou art] my trust
 from my youth.
71:6 By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he
 that brought me into life: my praise [shall be] continually of
 thee.
71:7 I am as a wonder to many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy
 honor all the day.
71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when
 my strength faileth.
71:10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait
 for my soul take counsel together,
71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
 [there is] none to deliver [him].
71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my
 help.
71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries
 to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonor
 that seek my hurt.
71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more
 and more.
71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy
 salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
 mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto
 have I declared thy wondrous works.
71:18 Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me
 not; until I have shown thy strength to [this] generation,
 [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast
 done great things: O God, who [is] like to thee!
71:20 [Thou], who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt
 revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the
 earth.
71:21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
 side.
71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy
 truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy
 One of Israel.
71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my
 soul, which thou hast redeemed.
71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
 long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame,
 that seek my hurt.
72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God,
 and thy righteousness to the king's son.
72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor
 with judgment.
72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the
 little hills, by righteousness.
72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
 children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
 throughout all generations.
72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as
 showers [that] water the earth.
72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
 peace so long as the moon endureth.
72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
 river to the ends of the earth.
72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and
 his enemies shall lick the dust.
72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring
 presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
72:11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations
 shall serve him.
72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor
 also, and [him] that hath no helper.
72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the
 souls of the needy.
72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
 precious shall be their blood in his sight.
72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold
 of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and]
 daily shall he be praised.
72:16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top
 of the mountains; the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon: and
 [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be
 continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in
 him: all nations shall call him blessed.
72:18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only
 doeth wondrous things.
72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the
 whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and amen.
72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to
 such as are of a clean heart.
73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well
 nigh slipped.
73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the
 prosperity of the wicked.
73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength
 [is] firm.
73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they
 afflicted like [other] men.
73:6 Therefore pride encompasseth them as a chain; violence
 covereth them [as] a garment.
73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than
 heart could wish.
73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]
 oppression: they speak loftily.
73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
 walketh through the earth.
73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full
 [cup] are wrung out to them.
73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in
 the Most High?
73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world;
 they increase [in] riches.
73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my
 hands in innocence.
73:14 For all the day long have I been afflicted, and chastened
 every morning.
73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
 [against] the generation of thy children.
73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] I
 understood their end.
73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst
 cast them down into destruction.
73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
 they are utterly consumed with terrors.
73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O LORD, when thou
 awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast
 before thee.
73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast held
 [me] by my right hand.
73:24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive
 me [to] glory.
73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon
 earth [that] I desire besides thee.
73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength
 of my heart, and my portion for ever.
73:27 For lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
 hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee.
73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my
 trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
74:1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for
 ever? [why] doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy
 pasture?
74:2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of
 old: the rod of thy inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed;
 this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.
74:3 Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; [even] all
 [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
74:4 Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they
 set up their ensigns [for] signs.
74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon
 the thick trees.
74:6 But now they break down the carved work of it at once with
 axes and hammers.
74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled
 [by casting down] the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
 they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
74:9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:
 neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the
 enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck
 [it] out of thy bosom.
74:12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the
 midst of the earth.
74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst
 break the heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14 Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, [and]
 didst give him [to be] food to the people inhabiting the
 wilderness.
74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst
 dry up mighty rivers.
74:16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast
 prepared the light and the sun.
74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made
 summer and winter.
74:18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the
 foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove to the multitude
 [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for
 ever.
74:20 Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the
 earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
74:21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and
 needy praise thy name.
74:22 Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember how the
 foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
74:23 Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those
 that rise against thee increaseth continually.
75:1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of
 Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, [to thee] do we give
 thanks: for [that] thy name is near, thy wondrous works
 declare.
75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge
 uprightly.
75:3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up
 the pillars of it. Selah.
75:4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked,
 Lift not up the horn:
75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff
 neck.
75:6 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the
 west, nor from the south.
75:7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
 another.
75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine
 is red; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
 but the dregs of it all the wicked of the earth shall wring
 [them] out, [and] drink [them].
75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God
 of Jacob.
75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the
 horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
76:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of
 Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in
 Zion.
76:3 There he broke 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 stout-hearted 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 wilt thou restrain.
76:11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that are about
 him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.
76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible
 to the kings of the earth.
77:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I
 cried to God with my voice, [even] to God with my voice; and he
 gave ear to 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 my 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
 my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
77:7 Will the LORD cast off for ever? and will he be favorable
 no more?
77:8 Is his mercy wholly 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 [thy] 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 disturbed.
77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound:
 thy arrows also went abroad.
77:18 The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the
 lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
77:19 Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
 and thy footsteps are not known.
77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses
 and Aaron.
78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:
 incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
 sayings of old:
78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told
 us.
78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to the
 generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength,
 and his wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a
 law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should
 make them known to their children:
78:6 That the generation to come might know [them], [even] the
 children [who] 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 steadfast 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 forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown
 them.
78:12 Marvelous 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 a heap.
78:14 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the
 night with a light of fire.
78:15 He cleaved 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 food for
 their desire.
78:19 Yes, they spoke 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 ate angels' food: he sent them food 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, around
 their habitations.
78:29 So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their
 own desire;
78:30 They were not estranged from their desire: but while their
 meat [was] yet in their mouths,
78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of
 them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
 wondrous works.
78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their
 years in trouble.
78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned
 and inquired early after God.
78:35 And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the
 high God their redeemer.
78:36 Nevertheless they flattered him with their mouth, and they
 lied to him with their tongues.
78:37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
 steadfast in his covenant.
78:38 But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their]
 iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yes, many a time he turned
 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 Yes, 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 to the caterpillar, and their
 labor to the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore
 trees with frost.
78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks
 to hot thunderbolts.
78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
 indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].
78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from
 death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51 And smote all the first-born 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 over his people also to 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 part: 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
 sheep-folds:
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 skillfulness of his hands.
79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy
 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]
 food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to
 the beasts of the earth.
79:3 Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and
 [there was] none to bury [them].
79:4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and
 derision to them that are around 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 succor 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 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him
 be known among the heathen in our sight [by] avenging 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 to our neighbors seven-fold into their bosom
 their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O LORD.
79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee
 thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all
 generations.
80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of
 Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph
 like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubim, 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 to our neighbors: 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 shade of it, and its
 boughs [were like] the goodly cedars.
80:11 She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to
 the river.
80:12 Why hast thou [then] broke down her hedges, so that all
 they who pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13 The boar from 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 planted, and the
 branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.
80:16 [It is] burnt 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 we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will
 call upon thy name.
80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to
 shine; and we shall be saved.
81:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm]  of Asaph.
 Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God
 of Jacob.
81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant
 harp with the psaltery.
81:3 Blow 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 to thee; O Israel, if
 thou wilt hearken to 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 who 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 not obey me.
81:12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust: [and] they
 walked in their own counsels.
81:13 O that my people had hearkened to 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 to
 him: and their time should have endured for ever.
81:16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:
 and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.
82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the
 mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of
 the wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted
 and needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: deliver [them] from 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 wilt inherit all
 nations.
83:1 A song, [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God:
 hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2 For lo, thy 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 helped the
 children of Lot. Selah.
83:9 Do to them as [to] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to]
 Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10 [Who] perished at En-dor: they became [as] dung for the
 earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yes, 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; yes, let
 them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
 JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
84:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of
 Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
84:2 My soul longeth, and even fainteth for the courts of the
 LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
84:3 Yes, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest
 for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thy 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 thy
 anointed.
84:10 For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had
 rather be a door-keeper 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 will he withhold from them that walk
 uprightly.
84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in
 thee.
85:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD,
 thou hast been favorable to 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 thy anger.
85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy anger
 towards us to cease.
85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thy
 anger to all generations?
85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice
 in thee?
85:7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak
 peace to 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 Yes, the LORD will give [that which is] good; and our land
 shall yield her increase.
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in
 the way of his steps.
86:1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.
86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I
 lift up my soul.
86:5 For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and
 abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
86:6 Give ear, O LORD, to 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 thee, O LORD; neither
 [are there any works] like 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 towards me: and thou hast
 delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
86:14 O God, the proud have 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; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
86:16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to
 thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
86:17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see
 [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and
 comforted me.
87:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation
 [is] in the holy mountains.
87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the
 dwellings of Jacob.
87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know
 me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this [man] was born
 there.
87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in
 her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.
87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that]
 this [man] was born there. Selah.
87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be
 there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
88:1 A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief
 Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
 O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before
 thee:
88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;
88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh
 to 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 my acquaintance far from me; thou hast
 made me an abomination to them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot
 come forth.
88:9 My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have
 called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
88:10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise
 [and] praise thee? Selah.
88:11 Shall thy loving-kindness 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 to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall
 my prayer come before 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 around me daily like water; they encompassed me
 together.
88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] my
 acquaintance into darkness.
89:1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies
 of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy
 faithfulness to all generations.
89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
 faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to
 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 to the LORD? [who]
 among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?
89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
 and to be had in reverence by all [them that are] about him.
89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like to thee?
 or to thy faithfulness around thee?
89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when its waves arise,
 thou stillest them.
89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
 thou hast scattered thy enemies with thy strong arm.
89:11 The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as
 for] the world, and the fullness of it, 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 [are] 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
 favor our horn shall be exalted.
89:18 For the LORD [is] our defense; and the Holy One of Israel
 [is] our king.
89:19 Then thou didst speak in vision to thy holy one, and say,
 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: my 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 afflict
 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 to me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and the
 rock of my salvation.
89:27 Also I will make him [my] first-born, 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 loving-kindness 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
 hath gone out of my lips.
89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie to
 David.
89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
 before me.
89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a
 faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth
 with thy 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 plunder him: he is a reproach to
 his neighbors.
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: why 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 loving-kindnesses, [which]
 thou didst swear to 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 With which thy enemies have reproached, O LORD; with which
 they have reproached the footsteps of thy anointed
89:52 Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen and amen.
90:1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our
 dwelling-place in all generations.
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
 formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
 everlasting, thou [art] God.
90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
 children of men.
90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday
 when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a
 sleep; in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth.
90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening
 it is cut down, and withereth.
90:7 For we are consumed by thy 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] seventy years; and if by
 reason of strength [they are] eighty years, yet [is] their
 strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly
 away.
90:11 Who knoweth the power of thy 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 to wisdom.
90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou 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 [in which] thou hast
 afflicted us, [and] the years [in which] we have seen evil.
90:16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to
 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; yes, 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 noon-day.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
 right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of
 the wicked.
91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD [who 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 honor him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my
 salvation.
92:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good
 [thing] to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy
 name, O Most High.
92:2 To show forth thy loving-kindness 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, thy enemies, O LORD, for lo, thy 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 My eye also shall see [my desire] on my enemies, [and] my
 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 are planted in the house of the LORD shall
 flourish in the courts of our God.
92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall
 be fat and flourishing;
92:15 To show that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and
 [there is] no unrighteousness in him.
93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is
 clothed with strength, [with which] he hath girded himself: the
 world also is established, 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 their waves.
93:4 The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many
 waters, [yes], [than] the mighty waves of the sea.
93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house,
 O LORD, for ever.
94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
 vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward
 to the proud.
94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
 triumph?
94:4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and]
 all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy
 heritage.
94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the
 fatherless.
94:7 Yet they say, The LORD will not see, neither will 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 he not correct? he
 that teacheth man knowledge, [shall he not 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 to righteousness: and all the
 upright in heart shall follow it.
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? [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 assemble themselves against the soul of the
 righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
94:22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God [is] the rock of my
 refuge.
94:23 And he will bring upon them their own iniquity, and will
 cut them off in their own wickedness; [yes], the LORD our God
 will cut them off.
95:1 O come, let us sing to 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 to 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 To whom I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter
 into my rest.
96:1 O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the
 earth.
96:2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation
 from day to day.
96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
 people.
96:4 For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is]
 to be feared above all gods.
96:5 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD
 made the heavens.
96:6 Honor and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty
 [are] in his sanctuary.
96:7 Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the
 LORD glory and strength.
96:8 Give to the LORD the glory [due to] his name: bring an
 offering, and come into his courts.
96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before
 him, all the earth.
96:10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world
 also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will
 judge the people righteously.
96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let
 the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then
 shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:
96:13 For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will
 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.
97:2 Clouds and darkness surround him: righteousness and
 judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
97:3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round
 about.
97:4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
 trembled.
97:5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at
 the presence of the LORD of the whole earth.
97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people
 see his glory.
97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
 themselves of idols; worship him, all [ye] gods.
97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah
 rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
97:9 For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art
 exalted far above all gods.
97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls
 of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the
 wicked.
97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the
 upright in heart.
97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
 remembrance of his holiness.
98:1 A Psalm. O sing to the LORD a new song; for he hath done
 marvelous 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 shown in the sight of the heathen.
98:3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth towards the
 house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the
 salvation of our God.
98:4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth: make a loud
 noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
98:5 Sing to 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 fullness of it, 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 will he judge the world, and the people with
 equity.
99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth
 [between] the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
99:2 The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all
 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 spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
 testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.
99:8 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God
 that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their
 inventions.
99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for
 the LORD our God [is] holy.
100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise to 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 to him, [and] bless his name.
100:5 For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and
 his truth [endureth] to all generations.
101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to
 thee, O LORD, will I sing.
101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt
 thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect
 heart.
101:3 I will set no wicked thing before my 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 Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut
 off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not
 suffer.
101:6 My 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 who practice wickedness from the city of the
 LORD.
102:1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and
 poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O
 LORD, and let my cry come to thee.
102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in
 trouble; incline thy ear to 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 My enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are
 enraged 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 thy 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 to all generations.
102:13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the
 time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come.
102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor
 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 will 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 hight of his sanctuary;
 from heaven hath the LORD beheld 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 assembled, 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 wilt endure: yes, all of them
 shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture wilt thou change
 them, and they shall be changed:
102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years will have no end.
102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their
 seed shall be established before thee.
103:1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all
 that is within me, [bless] his holy name.
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
 benefits:
103:3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy
 diseases;
103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee
 with loving-kindness 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 to Moses, his acts to the children
 of Israel.
103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
 abundant 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 according to 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 towards 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 its
 place 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 to
 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 to 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 honor and majesty.
104:2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who
 stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who
 maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of
 the wind:
104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming
 fire:
104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should
 not be removed for ever.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the
 waters stood above the mountains.
104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
 hasted away.
104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys
 to 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 appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his
 going down.
104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: in which all the
 beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their
 food from God.
104:22 The sun ariseth, they collect, and lay themselves down in
 their dens.
104:23 Man goeth forth to his work and to his labor 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, in which [are] creeping
 animals innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [which]
 thou hast made to play therein.
104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them]
 their food in due season.
104:28 [That which] thou givest them, they gather: thou openest
 thy 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 to 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 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 to the LORD; call upon his name: make known
 his deeds among the people.
105:2 Sing to him, sing psalms to 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 wonderful 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 to
 Isaac;
105:10 And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and] to
 Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
105:11 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot
 of your inheritance:
105:12 When they were a few men in number; yes, 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: yes, he reproved
 kings for their sakes;
105:15 [Saying], Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no
 harm.
105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke
 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 showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land
 of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not
 against his word.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
 chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and]
 lice in all their borders.
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 broke
 the trees of their borders.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and
 that without number,
105:35 And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the
 fruit of their ground.
105:36 He smote also all the first-born 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 labor 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 to the LORD; for [he is]
 good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can show
 forth all his praise?
106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth
 righteousness at all times.
106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favor [that thou bearest to]
 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 thy
 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 they believed his words; they sang his praise.
106:13 They soon forgot 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 worshiped the molten
 image.
106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an
 ox that eateth grass.
106:21 They forgot God their savior, who 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 Yes, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not
 his word:
106:25 But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not to 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 to Baal-peor, and ate the
 sacrifices of the dead.
106:29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions:
 and the plague broke in upon them.
106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so]
 the plague was stayed.
106:31 And that was counted to him for righteousness to all
 generations for ever.
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 spoke
 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 to them.
106:37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to
 demons,
106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons
 and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of
 Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went
 astray 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 by all those that carried
 them captives.
106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the
 heathen, to give thanks to 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 to 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 to 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 shades 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 labor; they
 fell down, and [there was] none to help.
107:13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
 saved them out of their distresses.
107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death,
 and broke their bands asunder.
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 asunder.
107:17 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of
 their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw
 near to the gates of death.
107:19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, 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
 on 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 its waves.
107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the
 depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and
 are at their wit's end.
107:28 Then they cry to 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 [of the
 sea] are still.
107:30 Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth
 them to 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
 water-springs into dry ground;
107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of
 them that dwell in it.
107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry
 ground into water-springs.
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 diminished 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 he setteth 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 Whoever [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even
 they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
108:1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I
 will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will
 sing praises to thee among the nations.
108:4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth
 [reacheth] to 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 measure out the valley of Succoth.
108:8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]
 the strength of my 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 armies?
108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down
 our enemies.
109:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy
 peace, O God of my praise;
109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
 are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying
 tongue.
109:3 They encompassed me 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
 to] 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
 strangers spoil his labor.
109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let
 there be any to favor his fatherless children.
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation
 following let their name be blotted out.
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the
 LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut
 off the memory of them from the earth.
109:16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but
 persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the
 broken in heart.
109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to 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 to him as the garment [which] covereth him, and
 for a girdle with which he is girded continually.
109:20 [Let] this [be] the reward of my 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 to them: [when] they looked upon
 me they shook 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 my 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; yes, I will
 praise him among the multitude.
109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save
 [him] from those that condemn his soul.
110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou at my
 right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
110:2 The LORD will send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
 rule thou in the midst of thy 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 Melchisedek.
110:5 The LORD at thy right hand will strike through kings in
 the day of his wrath.
110:6 He will judge among the heathen, he will fill [the places]
 with the dead bodies; he will wound the heads over many
 countries.
110:7 He will drink of the brook in the way: therefore will 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 by all them
 that have pleasure in them.
111:3 His work [is] honorable 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 food to them that fear him: he will ever be
 mindful of his covenant.
111:6 He hath shown 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 to 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 To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is]
 gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:5 A good man showeth favor, 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 seeth [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
 honor.
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 to 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 to 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 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 a foreign 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 Who turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint
 into a fountain of waters.
115:1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory,
 for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
115:2 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
115:3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatever he
 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 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 will increase you more and more, you and your
 children.
115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who 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
 ever. 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 to me, therefore will I
 call upon [him] as long as I live.
116:3 The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell
 came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
116:4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech
 thee, deliver my soul.
116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God [is]
 merciful.
116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he
 helped me.
116:7 Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt
 bountifully with thee.
116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my 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 to the LORD [for] all his benefits
 towards 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 to 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, the
 son of thy 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 to 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 towards us: and the
 truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
118:1 O give thanks to 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
 to 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 encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD
 will I destroy them.
118:11 They encompassed me; yes, they encompassed me: but in the
 name of the LORD I will destroy them.
118:12 They encompassed me 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 violently thrust 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 severely: but he hath not
 given me over to death.
118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter 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] wonderful 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, who hath shown us light: bind the
 sacrifice with cords, [even] to 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 to the LORD; for [he is] good: for his
 mercy [endureth] for ever.
119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in
 the law of the LORD.
119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that]
 seek him with the whole heart.
119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently.
119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all
 thy commandments.
119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall
 have learned thy righteous judgments.
119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
119:9 BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by
 taking heed [to it], 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 my 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 to thy
 ways.
119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget
 thy word.
119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may
 live, and keep thy word.
119:18 Open thou my 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] to thy
 judgments at all times.
119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who 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
 counselors.
119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive 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 to 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 adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to
 shame.
119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt
 enlarge my heart.
119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I
 shall keep it [to] the end.
119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yes, I
 shall observe it with [my] whole heart.
119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in
 that do I delight.
119:36 Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to
 covetousness.
119:37 Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; [and] revive
 thou me in thy way.
119:38 Establish thy word to 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: revive me in
 thy righteousness.
119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, [even] thy
 salvation, according to thy word.
119:42 So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth
 me: for I trust in thy word.
119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
 for I have hoped in thy judgments.
119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and
 will not be ashamed.
119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I
 have loved.
119:48 My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I
 have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou
 hast caused me to hope.
119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath
 revived me.
119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] I have
 not declined from thy law.
119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have
 comforted myself.
119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that
 forsake thy law.
119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my
 pilgrimage.
119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and
 have kept thy law.
119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I
 would keep thy words.
119:58 I entreated thy favor with [my] whole heart: be merciful
 to me according to thy word.
119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to 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 to thee, because
 of thy righteous judgments.
119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of
 them that keep thy precepts.
119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy
 statutes.
119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,
 according to 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 gross as fat; [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 to me than thousands of
 gold and silver.
119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me
 understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;
 because I have hoped in thy word.
119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and
 [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my
 comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
119:77 Let thy tender mercies come to 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 to me, and those that have
 known thy testimonies.
119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be
 ashamed.
119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in
 thy word.
119:82 My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort
 me?
119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do
 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
 according to 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 Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the
 testimony of thy mouth.
119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] to all generations: thou hast
 established the earth, and it abideth.
119:91 They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for
 all [are] thy servants.
119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have
 perished in my affliction.
119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast
 revived me.
119:94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will
 consider thy testimonies.
119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy
 commandment [is] exceeding broad.
119:97 MEM. O how I love thy law! it [is] my meditation all the
 day.
119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my
 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 to my taste! [yes, sweeter] than
 honey to my mouth!
119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I
 hate every false way.
119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp to my feet, and a light to 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: revive me, O LORD, according
 to thy word.
119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my
 mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet I do 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 my heart to perform thy statutes always,
 [even to] the end.
119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.
119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy
 word.
119:115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the
 commandments of my God.
119:116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and
 let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117 Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect
 to thy statutes continually.
119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy
 statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like]
 dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of
 thy judgments.
119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to
 my oppressors.
119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud
 oppress me.
119:123 My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
 righteousness.
119:124 Deal with thy servant according to 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; yes, above
 fine gold.
119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all
 [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.
119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my
 soul keep them.
119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
 understanding to 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 to me, as thou usest
 to do to 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 my eyes, because they keep not
 thy law.
119:137 TSADDI. 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 my 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] I do not forget thy
 precepts.
119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and
 thy law [is] the truth.
119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy
 commandments [are] my delights.
119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting:
 give me understanding, and I shall live.
119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I
 will keep thy statutes.
119:146 I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy
 testimonies.
119:147 I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I
 hoped in thy word.
119:148 My eyes anticipated the [night] watches, that I might
 meditate in thy word.
119:149 Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD,
 revive me according to thy judgment.
119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far
 from thy law.
119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are]
 truth.
119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that
 thou hast founded them for ever.
119:153 RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do
 not forget thy law.
119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive 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: revive me
 according to thy judgments.
119:157 Many [are] my persecutors and my enemies; [yet] I do 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: revive me, O LORD,
 according to thy loving-kindness.
119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one
 of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.
119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but
 my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
119:163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.
119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy
 righteous judgments.
119:165 Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing
 shall cause them to stumble.
119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy
 commandments.
119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them
 exceedingly.
119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my
 ways [are] before thee.
119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me
 understanding according to thy word.
119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me
 according to thy word.
119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy
 statutes.
119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy
 commandments [are] righteousness.
119:173 Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law
 [is] my delight.
119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy
 judgments help me.
119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant;
 for I do not forget thy commandments.
120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to 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 to thee? or what shall be done to
 thee, thou false tongue?
120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the
 tents of Kedar!
120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
120:7 I [am] for peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
121:1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills,
 from whence cometh my help.
121:2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, who 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 will preserve thee from all evil: he will
 preserve thy soul.
121:8 The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in
 from this time forth, and even for ever.
122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to
 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 built as a city that is compact together:
122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the
 testimony of Israel, to give thanks to 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' sake, I will now say,
 Peace [be] within thee.
122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy
 good.
123:1 A Song of degrees. To thee I raise my eyes, O thou that
 dwellest in the heavens.
123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] to the hand of
 their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her
 mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until he
 shall have mercy upon us.
123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us; for we are
 exceedingly filled with contempt.
123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those
 that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD
 who was on our side, now may Israel say;
124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when
 men rose up against us:
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
 kindled against us:
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone
 over our soul:
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey
 to their teeth.
124:7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the
 fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.
124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
 earth.
125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD, [shall be]
 as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for
 ever.
125:2 [As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem, so the LORD [is]
 around 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 to
 iniquity.
125:4 Do good, O LORD, to [those that] are good, and to [them
 that are] upright in their hearts.
125:5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD
 shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace
 [shall be] upon Israel.
126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the
 captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue
 with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath
 done great things for them.
126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [of which] 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 return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
 [with him].
127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build
 the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD
 shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.
127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat
 the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
127:3 Lo, children [are] a heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit
 of the womb [is his] reward.
127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man: so [are]
 children of the youth.
127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they
 shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in
 the gate.
128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the
 LORD; that walketh in his ways.
128:2 For thou shalt eat the labor of thy 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 thy
 house: thy children like olive plants around 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 Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace
 upon Israel.
129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from
 my youth, may Israel now say:
129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they
 have not prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their
 furrows.
129:4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of
 the wicked.
129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the house-tops, which
 withereth before it groweth up:
129:7 With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that
 bindeth sheaves, his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they who go by, say, The blessing of the LORD
 [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
130:1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee,
 O LORD.
130:2 LORD, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the
 voice of my supplications.
130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who
 shall stand?
130:4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be
 feared.
130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do
 I hope.
130:6 My soul [waiteth] for the LORD more than they that watch
 for the morning: [I say], [more than] they that watch for the
 morning.
130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is]
 mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
131:1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart [is] not
 haughty, nor my 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 by his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.
131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his
 afflictions;
132:2 How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to 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 my eyes, [or] slumber to my
 eyelids,
132:5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a 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
 thy anointed.
132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth to 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 also shall sit upon thy
 throne for ever.
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 my anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself
 shall his crown flourish.
133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how
 pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!
133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran
 down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to
 the skirts of his garment;
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 ever.
134:1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye]
 servants of the LORD, who 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 to
 his name; for [it is] pleasant.
135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to 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 Whatever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in
 earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
135:7 He causeth the vapors 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 first-born 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] a heritage, a heritage to
 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
 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 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, who dwelleth at
 Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
136:1 O give thanks to the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy
 [endureth] for ever.
136:2 O give thanks to 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 first-born: 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 an out-stretched arm: for
 his mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:13 To him who 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 army in the Red sea: for
 his mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:16 To him who led his people through the wilderness: for his
 mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:17 To him who 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 king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:
136:21 And gave their land for a heritage: for his mercy
 [endureth] for ever:
136:22 [Even] a heritage to 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 to the God of heaven: for his mercy
 [endureth] for ever.
137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept,
 when we remembered Zion.
137:2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.
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 foreign land?
137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget
 [her skill].
137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the
 roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of
 Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it], [even] to its
 foundation.
137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy
 [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little
 ones against the stones.
138:1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole
 heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee.
138:2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise thy
 name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast
 magnified thy word above all thy name.
138:3 In the day when I cried thou didst answer me, [and]
 strengthen 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 Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great
 [is] the glory of the LORD.
138:6 Though the LORD [is] high, yet hath he respect to the
 lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive
 me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my
 enemies, and thy right hand will save me.
138:8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy
 mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works thy
 own hands.
139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast
 searched me, and known [me].
139:2 Thou knowest my down-sitting and my up rising, 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 on my tongue, [but] lo, O LORD,
 thou knowest it altogether.
139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand
 upon me.
139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I
 cannot [attain] to it.
139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I
 flee from thy presence?
139:8 If I ascend 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 Yes, 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: wonderful [are] thy works; and [that] my soul well
 knoweth.
139:15 My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in
 secret, [and] curiously formed in the lowest parts of the
 earth.
139:16 Thy eyes saw my substance, yet being imperfect; 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 to 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] thy 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 my enemies.
139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my
 thoughts:
139:24 And see if [there is any] wicked way in me, and lead me
 in the way everlasting.
140:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O
 LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
140:2 Who imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are
 they assembled [for] war.
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's
 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 way side: they have set gins for me. Selah.
140:6 I said to 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 encompass me, 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 again.
140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established on 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 to thy name: the
 upright shall dwell in thy presence.
141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me;
 give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee.
141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and]
 the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my
 lips.
141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice
 wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of
 their dainties.
141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and
 let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which]
 shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in
 their calamities.
141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they
 shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
 cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
141:8 But my eyes [are] to thee, O GOD the LORD: in thee is my
 trust; leave not my soul destitute.
141:9 Keep me from the snare [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 I escape.
142:1 Maschil of David; a prayer when he was in the cave. I
 cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I
 made my supplication.
142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him
 my trouble.
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou
 knewest my path. In the way in which 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 to thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge
 [and] my portion in the land of the living.
142:6 Attend to 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 encompass me; for thou wilt deal
 bountifully with me.
143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my
 supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy
 righteousness.
143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy
 sight shall no man living be justified.
143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my
 life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness,
 as those that have been long dead.
143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart
 within me is desolate.
143:5 I remember the days of old, I meditate on all thy works; I
 muse on the work of thy hands.
143:6 I stretch forth my hands to 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 them that go down into the pit.
143:8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning; for
 in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should
 walk; for I lift up my soul to thee.
143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to 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 Revive 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 my enemies, and destroy all them
 that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
144:1 [A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, who
 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 thy arrows,
 and destroy them.
144:7 Send thy 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 to thee, O God: upon a psaltery
 [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises to thee.
144:10 [It is he] that giveth salvation to 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 granaries [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 labor; 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: [yes],
 happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.
145:1 David's [Psalm] of praise. 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 honor 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 are] bowed down.
145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them
 their food in due season.
145:16 Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every
 living creature.
145:17 The LORD [is] righteous in all his ways, and holy in all
 his works.
145:18 The LORD [is] nigh to all them that call upon him, to all
 that call upon him in truth.
145:19 He will fulfill 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
 to 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 Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in
 them: who keepeth truth for ever:
146:7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who 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 will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to
 all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
147:1 Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises to
 our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.
147:2 The LORD buildeth 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 to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the
 harp to 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 hoar-frost
 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 showeth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his
 judgments to 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 hights.
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
 [are] 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 established 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 deeps:
148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling
 his word:
148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping animals, 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
 to him. Praise ye the LORD.
149:1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to 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 to 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
 two-edged 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 honor 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.
