PS-1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of

the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in

the seat of the scornful.

PS-1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his

law doth he meditate day and night.

PS-1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of

water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf

also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

PS-1:4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which

the wind driveth away.

PS-1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

PS-1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the

way of the ungodly shall perish.

*PS-2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain

thing?

PS-2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers

take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his

anointed, [saying],

PS-2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their

cords from us.

PS-2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord

shall have them in derision.

PS-2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them

in his sore displeasure.

PS-2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

PS-2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me,

Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

PS-2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for]

thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for]

thy possession.

PS-2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash

them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

PS-2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye

judges of the earth.

PS-2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

PS-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.

*PS-3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they

that rise up against me.

PS-3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help

for him in God. Selah.

PS-3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and

the lifter up of mine head.

PS-3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out

of his holy hill. Selah.

PS-3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD

sustained me.

PS-3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that

have set [themselves] against me round about.

PS-3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten

all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the

teeth of the ungodly.

PS-3:8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is]

upon thy people. Selah.

*PS-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.

PS-4:2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into

shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing?

Selah.

PS-4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly

for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

PS-4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart

upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

PS-4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust

in the LORD.

PS-4:6 [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good?

LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

PS-4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time

[that] their corn and their wine increased.

PS-4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou,

LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

*PS-5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

PS-5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:

for unto thee will I pray.

PS-5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the

morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.

PS-5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:

 neither shall evil dwell with thee.

PS-5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all

workers of iniquity.

PS-5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will

abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

PS-5:7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the

multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward

thy holy temple.

PS-5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine

enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

PS-5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their

inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open

sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour

wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.

*PS-6:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A

Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither

chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

PS-6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal

me; for my bones are vexed.

PS-6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

PS-6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy

mercies' sake.

PS-6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the

grave who shall give thee thanks?

PS-6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed

to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

PS-6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old

because of all mine enemies.

PS-6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD

hath heard the voice of my weeping.

PS-6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will

receive my prayer.

PS-6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them

return [and] be ashamed suddenly.

*PS-7:1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD,

concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in

thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me,

and deliver me:

PS-7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,

while [there is] none to deliver.

PS-7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity

in my hands;

PS-7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with

me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

PS-7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let

him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in

the dust. Selah.

PS-7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of

the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment

[that] thou hast commanded.

PS-7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee

about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

PS-7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD,

according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity

[that is] in me.

PS-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.

PS-7:10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in

heart.

PS-7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the

wicked] every day.

PS-7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his

bow, and made it ready.

PS-7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

PS-7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived

mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

PS-7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the

ditch [which] he made.

PS-7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his

violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

PS-7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:

and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

*PS-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.

PS-8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou

ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest

still the enemy and the avenger.

PS-8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the

moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

PS-8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of

man, that thou visitest him?

PS-8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

PS-8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy

hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

PS-8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

PS-8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and

whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

PS-8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the

earth!

*PS-9:1 To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show

forth all thy marvellous works.

PS-9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to

thy name, O thou most High.

PS-9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and

perish at thy presence.

PS-9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou

satest in the throne judging right.

PS-9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the

wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

PS-9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with

them.

PS-9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his

throne for judgment.

PS-9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall

minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

PS-9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a

refuge in times of trouble.

PS-9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

 for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

PS-9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:

declare among the people his doings.

PS-9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth

them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

PS-9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I

suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the

gates of death:

PS-9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the

daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

PS-9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made:

in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

PS-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.

PS-9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the

nations that forget God.

PS-9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the

expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.

PS-9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be

judged in thy sight.

PS-9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know

themselves [to be but] men. Selah.

*PS-10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou

[thyself] in times of trouble?

PS-10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let

them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

PS-10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and

blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.

PS-10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will

not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.

PS-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.

PS-10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I

shall] never [be] in adversity.

PS-10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under

his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may

fall by his strong ones.

PS-10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he

hideth his face; he will never see [it].

PS-10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not

the humble.

PS-10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in

his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].

PS-10:14 Thou hast seen [it]: for thou beholdest mischief and

spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth

himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

PS-10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]:

seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.

PS-10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are

perished out of his land.

PS-10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou

wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

PS-10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man

of the earth may no more oppress.

*PS-11:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD

put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your

mountain?

PS-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.

PS-11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous

do?

PS-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.

PS-11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him

that loveth violence his soul hateth.

PS-11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,

 and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their

cup.

PS-11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his

countenance doth behold the upright.

*PS-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.

PS-12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with]

flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.

PS-12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the

tongue that speaketh proud things:

PS-12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips

[are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

PS-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.

PS-12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver

tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

PS-12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them

from this generation for ever.

PS-12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are

exalted.

*PS-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?

PS-13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having]

sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted

over me?

PS-13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,

 lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

PS-13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and]

those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

PS-13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice

in thy salvation.

PS-13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt

bountifully with me.

*PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become

filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS-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.

PS-14:5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the

generation of the righteous.

PS-14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD

[is] his refuge.

PS-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.

*PS-15:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy

tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

PS-15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,

and speaketh the truth in his heart.

PS-15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil

to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

PS-15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he

honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his

own] hurt, and changeth not.

PS-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.

*PS-16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I

put my trust.

PS-16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my

Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

PS-16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to]

the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.

PS-16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after]

another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,

nor take up their names into my lips.

PS-16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my

cup: thou maintainest my lot.

PS-16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea,

I have a goodly heritage.

PS-16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my

reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

PS-16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at

my right hand, I shall not be moved.

PS-16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my

flesh also shall rest in hope.

PS-16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt

thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

PS-16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence

[is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for

evermore.

*PS-17:1 A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto

my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned

lips.

PS-17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine

eyes behold the things that are equal.

PS-17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in

the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am

purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.

PS-17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I

have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.

PS-17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip

not.

PS-17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:

incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.

PS-17:7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest

by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from

those that rise up [against them].

PS-17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the

shadow of thy wings,

PS-17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly

enemies, [who] compass me about.

PS-17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth

they speak proudly.

PS-17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set

their eyes bowing down to the earth;

PS-17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it

were a young lion lurking in secret places.

PS-17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver

my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:

PS-17:14 From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the

world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose

belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of

children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.

PS-17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I

shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

*PS-18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant

of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in

the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his

enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love

thee, O LORD, my strength.

PS-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.

PS-18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised:

 so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

PS-18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of

ungodly men made me afraid.

PS-18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of

death prevented me.

PS-18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my

God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before

him, [even] into his ears.

PS-18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also

of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

PS-18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out

of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

PS-18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness

[was] under his feet.

PS-18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly

upon the wings of the wind.

PS-18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round

about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.

PS-18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick

clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.

PS-18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest

gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.

PS-18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he

shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

PS-18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the

foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD,

at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

PS-18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many

waters.

PS-18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them

which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

PS-18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the

LORD was my stay.

PS-18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he

delivered me, because he delighted in me.

PS-18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;

according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

PS-18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not

wickedly departed from my God.

PS-18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not

put away his statutes from me.

PS-18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from

mine iniquity.

PS-18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my

righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his

eyesight.

PS-18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with

an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;

PS-18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the

froward thou wilt show thyself froward.

PS-18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring

down high looks.

PS-18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will

enlighten my darkness.

PS-18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God

have I leaped over a wall.

PS-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.

PS-18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save

our God?

PS-18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh

my way perfect.

PS-18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me

upon my high places.

PS-18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is

broken by mine arms.

PS-18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:

and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath

made me great.

PS-18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did

not slip.

PS-18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:

neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

PS-18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:

they are fallen under my feet.

PS-18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:

thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

PS-18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that

I might destroy them that hate me.

PS-18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even]

unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

PS-18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:

I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

PS-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.

PS-18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the

strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

PS-18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of

their close places.

PS-18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the

God of my salvation be exalted.

PS-18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people

under me.

PS-18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest

me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered

me from the violent man.

PS-18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among

the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

PS-18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth

mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

*PS-19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens

declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his

handiwork.

PS-19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night

showeth knowledge.

PS-19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice

is not heard.

PS-19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their

words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle

for the sun,

PS-19:5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

[and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

PS-19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his

circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the

heat thereof.

PS-19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul:

the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

PS-19:8 The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the

heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the

eyes.

PS-19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the

judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

PS-19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much

fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

PS-19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in

keeping of them [there is] great reward.

PS-19:12 Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from

secret [faults].

PS-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.

PS-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.

*PS-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;

PS-20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee

out of Zion;

PS-20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt

sacrifice; Selah.

PS-20:4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all

thy counsel.

PS-20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our

God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy

petitions.

PS-20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will

hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his

right hand.

PS-20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we

will remember the name of the LORD our God.

PS-20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and

stand upright.

PS-20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

*PS-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!

PS-21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not

withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

PS-21:3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:

thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

PS-21:4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him,

[even] length of days for ever and ever.

PS-21:5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and

majesty hast thou laid upon him.

PS-21:6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast

made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

PS-21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy

of the most High he shall not be moved.

PS-21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right

hand shall find out those that hate thee.

PS-21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of

thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and

the fire shall devour them.

PS-21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and

their seed from among the children of men.

PS-21:11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a

mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].

PS-21:12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when]

thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against

the face of them.

PS-21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will

we sing and praise thy power.

*PS-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?

PS-22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not;

and in the night season, and am not silent.

PS-22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the

praises of Israel.

PS-22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou

didst deliver them.

PS-22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted

in thee, and were not confounded.

PS-22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and

despised of the people.

PS-22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out

the lip, they shake the head, [saying],

PS-22:8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let

him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

PS-22:9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou

didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.

PS-22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God

from my mother's belly.

PS-22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there

is] none to help.

PS-22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan

have beset me round.

PS-22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening

and a roaring lion.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked

have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

PS-22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.

PS-22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my

vesture.

PS-22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,

haste thee to help me.

PS-22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the

power of the dog.

PS-22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me

from the horns of the unicorns.

PS-22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst

of the congregation will I praise thee.

PS-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.

PS-22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of

the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when

he cried unto him, he heard.

PS-22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation:

I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

PS-22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise

the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

PS-22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto

the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship

before thee.

PS-22:28 For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the

governor among the nations.

PS-22:29 All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship:

 all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and

none can keep alive his own soul.

PS-22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the

Lord for a generation.

PS-22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness

unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].

*PS-23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall

not want.

PS-23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth

me beside the still waters.

PS-23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for his name's sake.

PS-23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and

thy staff they comfort me.

PS-23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine

enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

PS-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.

*PS-24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the

fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

PS-24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it

upon the floods.

PS-24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall

stand in his holy place?

PS-24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not

lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

PS-24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and

righteousness from the God of his salvation.

PS-24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that

seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

PS-24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

PS-24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty,

the LORD mighty in battle.

PS-24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

PS-24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is]

the King of glory. Selah.

*PS-25:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my

soul.

PS-25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let

not mine enemies triumph over me.

PS-25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be

ashamed which transgress without cause.

PS-25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

PS-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.

PS-25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy

lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.

PS-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.

PS-25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach

sinners in the way.

PS-25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he

teach his way.

PS-25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto

such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

PS-25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for

it [is] great.

PS-25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he

teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

PS-25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall

inherit the earth.

PS-25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him;

and he will show them his covenant.

PS-25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall

pluck my feet out of the net.

PS-25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am]

desolate and afflicted.

PS-25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou

me out of my distresses.

PS-25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all

my sins.

PS-25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate

me with cruel hatred.

PS-25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed;

for I put my trust in thee.

PS-25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait

on thee.

PS-25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

*PS-26:1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked

in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore]

I shall not slide.

PS-26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my

heart.

PS-26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have

walked in thy truth.

PS-26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in

with dissemblers.

PS-26:5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not

sit with the wicked.

PS-26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass

thine altar, O LORD:

PS-26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and

tell of all thy wondrous works.

PS-26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the

place where thine honour dwelleth.

PS-26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody

men:

PS-26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is

full of bribes.

PS-26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me,

 and be merciful unto me.

PS-26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations

will I bless the LORD.

*PS-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?

PS-27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came

upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

PS-27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall

not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I

[be] confident.

PS-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.

PS-27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his

pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he

shall set me up upon a rock.

PS-27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies

round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle

sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto

the LORD.

PS-27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy

also upon me, and answer me.

PS-27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto

thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

PS-27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant

away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither

forsake me, O God of my salvation.

PS-27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD

will take me up.

PS-27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,

because of mine enemies.

PS-27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for

false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out

cruelty.

PS-27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the

goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

PS-27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall

strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

*PS-28:1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my

rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I

become like them that go down into the pit.

PS-28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,

 when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

PS-28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers

of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief

[is] in their hearts.

PS-28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the

wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of

their hands; render to them their desert.

PS-28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the

operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build

them up.

PS-28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice

of my supplications.

PS-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.

PS-28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving

strength of his anointed.

PS-28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them

also, and lift them up for ever.

*PS-29:1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give

unto the LORD glory and strength.

PS-29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship

the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

PS-29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of

glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.

PS-29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the

LORD [is] full of majesty.

PS-29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD

breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

PS-29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and

Sirion like a young unicorn.

PS-29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

PS-29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD

shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

PS-29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and

discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak

of [his] glory.

PS-29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth

King for ever.

PS-29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD

will bless his people with peace.

*PS-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.

PS-30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed

me.

PS-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.

PS-30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks

at the remembrance of his holiness.

PS-30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour

[is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in

the morning.

PS-30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

PS-30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand

strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.

PS-30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made

supplication.

PS-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?

PS-30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my

helper.

PS-30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou

hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

PS-30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and

not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for

ever.

*PS-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.

PS-31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou

my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

PS-31:3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for

thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

PS-31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for

me: for thou [art] my strength.

PS-31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed

me, O LORD God of truth.

PS-31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I

trust in the LORD.

PS-31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast

considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

PS-31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou

hast set my feet in a large room.

PS-31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine

eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.

PS-31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with

sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my

bones are consumed.

PS-31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially

among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that

did see me without fled from me.

PS-31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a

broken vessel.

PS-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.

PS-31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my

God.

PS-31:15 My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of

mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

PS-31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for

thy mercies' sake.

PS-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.

PS-31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak

grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

PS-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!

PS-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.

PS-31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his

marvellous kindness in a strong city.

PS-31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine

eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications

when I cried unto thee.

PS-31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD

preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud

doer.

PS-31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,

all ye that hope in the LORD.

*PS-32:1 [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose]

transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

PS-32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not

iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.

PS-32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my

roaring all the day long.

PS-32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my

moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

PS-32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have

I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the

LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

PS-32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in

a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great

waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

PS-32:7 Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from

trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

Selah.

PS-32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which

thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

PS-32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have

no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and

bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

PS-32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that

trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

PS-32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and

shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

*PS-33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is

comely for the upright.

PS-33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the

psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.

PS-33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud

noise.

PS-33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works

[are done] in truth.

PS-33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full

of the goodness of the LORD.

PS-33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all

the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

PS-33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:

he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

PS-33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants

of the world stand in awe of him.

PS-33:9 For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it

stood fast.

PS-33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:

he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

PS-33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts

of his heart to all generations.

PS-33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and]

the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

PS-33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons

of men.

PS-33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all

the inhabitants of the earth.

PS-33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all

their works.

PS-33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a

mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

PS-33:17 An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he

deliver [any] by his great strength.

PS-33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear

him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

PS-33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them

alive in famine.

PS-33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our

shield.

PS-33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have

trusted in his holy name.

PS-33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope

in thee.

*PS-34:1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour

before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will

bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be]

in my mouth.

PS-34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble

shall hear [thereof], and be glad.

PS-34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name

together.

PS-34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me

from all my fears.

PS-34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their

faces were not ashamed.

PS-34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved

him out of all his troubles.

PS-34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that

fear him, and delivereth them.

PS-34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is]

the man [that] trusteth in him.

PS-34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want

to them that fear him.

PS-34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they

that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].

PS-34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you

the fear of the LORD.

PS-34:12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth

[many] days, that he may see good?

PS-34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking

guile.

PS-34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue

it.

PS-34:15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his

ears [are open] unto their cry.

PS-34:16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to

cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

PS-34:17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and

delivereth them out of all their troubles.

PS-34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;

 and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

PS-34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the

LORD delivereth him out of them all.

PS-34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

PS-34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the

righteous shall be desolate.

PS-34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none

of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

*PS-35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them

that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

PS-35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine

help.

PS-35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them

that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.

PS-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.

PS-35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel

of the LORD chase [them].

PS-35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of

the LORD persecute them.

PS-35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a

pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.

PS-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.

PS-35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall

rejoice in his salvation.

PS-35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee,

which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,

yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

PS-35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge

[things] that I knew not.

PS-35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my

soul.

PS-35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]

sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer

returned into mine own bosom.

PS-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.

PS-35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered

themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves

together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me],

and ceased not:

PS-35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon

me with their teeth.

PS-35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from

their destructions, my darling from the lions.

PS-35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I

will praise thee among much people.

PS-35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice

over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me

without a cause.

PS-35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful

matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.

PS-35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and]

said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].

PS-35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD,

 be not far from me.

PS-35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto

my cause, my God and my Lord.

PS-35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness;

 and let them not rejoice over me.

PS-35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have

it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

PS-35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together

that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and

dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.

PS-35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my

righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be

magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

PS-35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of

thy praise all the day long.

*PS-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.

PS-36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his

iniquity be found to be hateful.

PS-36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he

hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.

PS-36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in

a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

PS-36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy

faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

PS-36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy

judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and

beast.

PS-36:7 How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore

the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy

wings.

PS-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.

PS-36:9 For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light

shall we see light.

PS-36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee;

and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

PS-36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not

the hand of the wicked remove me.

PS-36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast

down, and shall not be able to rise.

*PS-37:1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of

evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of

iniquity.

PS-37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and

wither as the green herb.

PS-37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in

the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

PS-37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee

the desires of thine heart.

PS-37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he

shall bring [it] to pass.

PS-37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

and thy judgment as the noonday.

PS-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.

PS-37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in

any wise to do evil.

PS-37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon

the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

PS-37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]:

 yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall]

not [be].

PS-37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight

themselves in the abundance of peace.

PS-37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon

him with his teeth.

PS-37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day

is coming.

PS-37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent

their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such

as be of upright conversation.

PS-37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their

bows shall be broken.

PS-37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the

riches of many wicked.

PS-37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the

LORD upholdeth the righteous.

PS-37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their

inheritance shall be for ever.

PS-37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the

days of famine they shall be satisfied.

PS-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.

PS-37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the

righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

PS-37:22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth;

 and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.

PS-37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and

he delighteth in his way.

PS-37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for

the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.

PS-37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not

seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

PS-37:26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is]

blessed.

PS-37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

PS-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.

PS-37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein

for ever.

PS-37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his

tongue talketh of judgment.

PS-37:31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps

shall slide.

PS-37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay

him.

PS-37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn

him when he is judged.

PS-37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt

thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou

shalt see [it].

PS-37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading

himself like a green bay tree.

PS-37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I

sought him, but he could not be found.

PS-37:37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the

end of [that] man [is] peace.

PS-37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the

end of the wicked shall be cut off.

PS-37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD:

[he is] their strength in the time of trouble.

PS-37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he

shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they

trust in him.

*PS-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.

PS-38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth

me sore.

PS-38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine

anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

PS-38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy

burden they are too heavy for me.

PS-38:5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my

foolishness.

PS-38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning

all the day long.

PS-38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and

[there is] no soundness in my flesh.

PS-38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of

the disquietness of my heart.

PS-38:9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is

not hid from thee.

PS-38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the

light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

PS-38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and

my kinsmen stand afar off.

PS-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.

PS-38:13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a

dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

PS-38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose

mouth [are] no reproofs.

PS-38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord

my God.

PS-38:16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should

rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify

[themselves] against me.

PS-38:17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is]

continually before me.

PS-38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for

my sin.

PS-38:19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong:

and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

PS-38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine

adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].

PS-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.

*PS-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.

PS-39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from

good; and my sorrow was stirred.

PS-39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire

burned: [then] spake I with my tongue,

PS-39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my

days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].

PS-39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and

mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his

best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.

PS-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.

PS-39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.

PS-39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the

reproach of the foolish.

PS-39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst

[it].

PS-39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the

blow of thine hand.

PS-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.

PS-39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold

not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee,

[and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].

PS-39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go

hence, and be no more.

*PS-40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited

patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my

cry.

PS-40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the

miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my

goings.

PS-40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise

unto our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in

the LORD.

PS-40:4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust,

and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

PS-40:5 Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which]

thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they

cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare

and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.

PS-40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears

hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not

required.

PS-40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it

is] written of me,

PS-40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is]

within my heart.

PS-40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:

lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

PS-40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I

have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not

concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great

congregation.

PS-40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD:

let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

PS-40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine

iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to

look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my

heart faileth me.

PS-40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste

to help me.

PS-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.

PS-40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that

say unto me, Aha, aha.

PS-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.

PS-40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon

me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my

God.

*PS-41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is]

he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time

of trouble.

PS-41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he

shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him

unto the will of his enemies.

PS-41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:

 thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

PS-41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I

have sinned against thee.

PS-41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and

his name perish?

PS-41:6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his

heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he

telleth [it].

PS-41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me

do they devise my hurt.

PS-41:8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and

[now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

PS-41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which

did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

PS-41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,

that I may requite them.

PS-41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine

enemy doth not triumph over me.

PS-41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and

settest me before thy face for ever.

PS-41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,

and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

*PS-42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul

after thee, O God.

PS-42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when

shall I come and appear before God?

PS-42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they

continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-42:4 When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:

 for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the

house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude

that kept holyday.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:

all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

PS-42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the

daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my

prayer unto the God of my life.

PS-42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?

why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

PS-42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me;

 while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?

PS-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.

*PS-43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly

nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

PS-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?

PS-43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me;

let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

PS-43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my

exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my

God.

PS-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.

*PS-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.

PS-44:2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand,

and plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and

cast them out.

PS-44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own

sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand,

and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou

hadst a favour unto them.

PS-44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

PS-44:5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy

name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

PS-44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword

save me.

PS-44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put

them to shame that hated us.

PS-44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name

for ever. Selah.

PS-44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest

not forth with our armies.

PS-44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they

which hate us spoil for themselves.

PS-44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and

hast scattered us among the heathen.

PS-44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not

increase [thy wealth] by their price.

PS-44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn

and a derision to them that are round about us.

PS-44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of

the head among the people.

PS-44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame

of my face hath covered me,

PS-44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;

by reason of the enemy and avenger.

PS-44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten

thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

PS-44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps

declined from thy way;

PS-44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,

 and covered us with the shadow of death.

PS-44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched

out our hands to a strange god;

PS-44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the

secrets of the heart.

PS-44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we

are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

PS-44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not

off for ever.

PS-44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our

affliction and our oppression?

PS-44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly

cleaveth unto the earth.

PS-44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

*PS-45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of

Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good

matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the

king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.

PS-45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is

poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

PS-45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with

thy glory and thy majesty.

PS-45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth

and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach

thee terrible things.

PS-45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's

enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee.

PS-45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre

of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre.

PS-45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:

therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of

gladness above thy fellows.

PS-45:8 All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and]

cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee

glad.

PS-45:9 Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon

thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

PS-45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine

ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

PS-45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he

[is] thy Lord; and worship thou him.

PS-45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;

[even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

PS-45:13 The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her

clothing [is] of wrought gold.

PS-45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of

needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be

brought unto thee.

PS-45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they

shall enter into the king's palace.

PS-45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou

mayest make princes in all the earth.

PS-45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all

generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and

ever.

*PS-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.

PS-46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,

and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

PS-46:3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled,

[though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

PS-46:4 [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad

the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most

High.

PS-46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God shall help her, [and that] right early.

PS-46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered

his voice, the earth melted.

PS-46:7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge. Selah.

PS-46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he

hath made in the earth.

PS-46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he

breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth

the chariot in the fire.

PS-46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted

among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

PS-46:11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is]

our refuge. Selah.

*PS-47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O

clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of

triumph.

PS-47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great

King over all the earth.

PS-47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations

under our feet.

PS-47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency

of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

PS-47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of

a trumpet.

PS-47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our

King, sing praises.

PS-47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises

with understanding.

PS-47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the

throne of his holiness.

PS-47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, [even]

the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth

[belong] unto God: he is greatly exalted.

*PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

PS-48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by

together.

PS-48:5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled,

 [and] hasted away.

PS-48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a

woman in travail.

PS-48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

PS-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.

PS-48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the

midst of thy temple.

PS-48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto

the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

PS-48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be

glad, because of thy judgments.

PS-48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the

towers thereof.

PS-48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that

ye may tell [it] to the generation following.

PS-48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be

our guide [even] unto death.

*PS-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:

PS-49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

PS-49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my

heart [shall be] of understanding.

PS-49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my

dark saying upon the harp.

PS-49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the

iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

PS-49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in

the multitude of their riches;

PS-49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor

give to God a ransom for him:

PS-49:8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it

ceaseth for ever:)

PS-49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see

corruption.

PS-49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and

the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

PS-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.

PS-49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is

like the beasts [that] perish.

PS-49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity

approve their sayings. Selah.

PS-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.

PS-49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:

 for he shall receive me. Selah.

PS-49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the

glory of his house is increased;

PS-49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his

glory shall not descend after him.

PS-49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men]

will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

PS-49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they

shall never see light.

PS-49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like

the beasts [that] perish.

*PS-50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath

spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the

going down thereof.

PS-50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

PS-50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire

shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round

about him.

PS-50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the

earth, that he may judge his people.

PS-50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made

a covenant with me by sacrifice.

PS-50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God

[is] judge himself. Selah.

PS-50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I

will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

PS-50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt

offerings, [to have been] continually before me.

PS-50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats

out of thy folds.

PS-50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the

cattle upon a thousand hills.

PS-50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild

beasts of the field [are] mine.

PS-50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world

[is] mine, and the fulness thereof.

PS-50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of

goats?

PS-50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the

most High:

PS-50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver

thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

PS-50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to

declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant

in thy mouth?

PS-50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words

behind thee.

PS-50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with

him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

PS-50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth

deceit.

PS-50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou

slanderest thine own mother's son.

PS-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.

PS-50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear

[you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.

PS-50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that

ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation

of God.

*PS-51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan

the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot outmy

transgressions.

PS-51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me

from my sin.

PS-51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is]

ever before me.

PS-51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this]

evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou

speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.

PS-51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my

mother conceive me.

PS-51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in

the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

PS-51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and

I shall be whiter than snow.

PS-51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones

[which] thou hast broken may rejoice.

PS-51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine

iniquities.

PS-51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right

spirit within me.

PS-51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy

holy spirit from me.

PS-51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me

[with thy] free spirit.

PS-51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners

shall be converted unto thee.

PS-51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my

salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

PS-51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show

forth thy praise.

PS-51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]:

 thou delightest not in burnt offering.

PS-51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken

and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

PS-51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the

walls of Jerusalem.

PS-51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of

righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:

then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

*PS-52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David,

when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him,

David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou

thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God

[endureth] continually.

PS-52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor,

working deceitfully.

PS-52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than

to speak righteousness. Selah.

PS-52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful

tongue.

PS-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.

PS-52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh

at him:

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-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.

*PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God.

Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is]

none that doeth good.

PS-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.

PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether

become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my

people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

PS-53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for

God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against]

thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised

them.

PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!

When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall

rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

*PS-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.

PS-54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

PS-54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors

seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

PS-54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them

that uphold my soul.

PS-54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in

thy truth.

PS-54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy

name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

PS-54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine

eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.

*PS-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.

PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint,

and make a noise;

PS-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.

PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of

death are fallen upon me.

PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror

hath overwhelmed me.

PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]

would I fly away, and be at rest.

PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the

wilderness. Selah.

PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and]

tempest.

PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have

seen violence and strife in the city.

PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.

PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile

depart not from her streets.

PS-55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I

could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that]

did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself

from him:

PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine

acquaintance.

PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the

house of God in company.

PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick

into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among

them.

PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall

save me.

PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry

aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle

[that was] against me: for there were many with me.

PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth

of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear

not God.

PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace

with him: he hath broken his covenant.

PS-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.

PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain

thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

PS-55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of

destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half

their days; but I will trust in thee.

*PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam

of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful

unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily

oppresseth me.

PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be]

many that fight against me, O thou most High.

PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

PS-56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my

trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

PS-56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]

against me for evil.

PS-56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

PS-56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast

down the people, O God.

PS-56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy

bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

PS-56:9 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn

back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

PS-56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I

praise [his] word.

PS-56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what

man can do unto me.

PS-56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises

unto thee.

PS-56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not

[thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God

in the light of the living?

*PS-57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David,

when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God,

be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the

shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these]

calamities be overpast.

PS-57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth

[all things] for me.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy

glory [be] above all the earth.

PS-57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed

down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof

they are fallen [themselves]. Selah.

PS-57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing

and give praise.

PS-57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]

will awake early.

PS-57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will

sing unto thee among the nations.

PS-57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy

truth unto the clouds.

PS-57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy

glory [be] above all the earth.

*PS-58:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do

ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge

uprightly, O ye sons of men?

PS-58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence

of your hands in the earth.

PS-58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray

as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

PS-58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they

are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;

PS-58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,

charming never so wisely.

PS-58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the

great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them

away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.

PS-58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:

 he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

PS-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.

*PS-59:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David;

when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver

me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up

against me.

PS-59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me

from bloody men.

PS-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.

PS-59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:

awake to help me, and behold.

PS-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.

PS-59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog,

and go round about the city.

PS-59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in

their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?

PS-59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have

all the heathen in derision.

PS-59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God

[is] my defence.

PS-59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me

see [my desire] upon mine enemies.

PS-59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by

thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

PS-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.

PS-59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they

[may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto

the ends of the earth. Selah.

PS-59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a

noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

PS-59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if

they be not satisfied.

PS-59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of

thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and

refuge in the day of my trouble.

PS-59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my

defence, [and] the God of my mercy.

*PS-60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of

David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with

Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley

of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast

scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us

again.

PS-60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:

 heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

PS-60:3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made

us to drink the wine of astonishment.

PS-60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it

may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

PS-60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right

hand, and hear me.

PS-60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will

divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

PS-60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also

[is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

PS-60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

PS-60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead

me into Edom?

PS-60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and

[thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?

PS-60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of

man.

PS-60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]

shall tread down our enemies.

*PS-61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

PS-61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my

heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than

I.

PS-61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong

tower from the enemy.

PS-61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in

the covert of thy wings. Selah.

PS-61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given

[me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

PS-61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as

many generations.

PS-61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and

truth, [which] may preserve him.

PS-61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may

daily perform my vows.

*PS-62:1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

PS-62:2 He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my

defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

PS-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.

PS-62:4 They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency:

 they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they

curse inwardly. Selah.

PS-62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation

[is] from him.

PS-62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my

defence; I shall not be moved.

PS-62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my

strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.

PS-62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your

heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

PS-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.

PS-62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:

 if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].

PS-62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that

power [belongeth] unto God.

PS-62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou

renderest to every man according to his work.

*PS-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;

PS-63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee

in the sanctuary.

PS-63:3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my

lips shall praise thee.

PS-63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my

hands in thy name.

PS-63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

PS-63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee

in the [night] watches.

PS-63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow

of thy wings will I rejoice.

PS-63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand

upholdeth me.

PS-63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go

into the lower parts of the earth.

PS-63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion

for foxes.

PS-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.

*PS-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.

PS-64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the

insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

PS-64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their

bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

PS-64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly

do they shoot at him, and fear not.

PS-64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they

commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

PS-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.

PS-64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly

shall they be wounded.

PS-64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon

themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

PS-64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of

God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

PS-64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall

trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

*PS-65:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the

vow be performed.

PS-65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh

come.

PS-65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our

transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

PS-65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to

approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall

be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy

temple.

PS-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:

PS-65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;

[being] girded with power:

PS-65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their

waves, and the tumult of the people.

PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou

settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers:

thou blessest the springing thereof.

PS-65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths

drop fatness.

PS-65:12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and

the little hills rejoice on every side.

PS-65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also

are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

*PS-66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful

noise unto God, all ye lands:

PS-66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise

glorious.

PS-66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works!

through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit

themselves unto thee.

PS-66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto

thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.

PS-66:5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]

doing toward the children of men.

PS-66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the

flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

PS-66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the

nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

PS-66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his

praise to be heard:

PS-66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our

feet to be moved.

PS-66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as

silver is tried.

PS-66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction

upon our loins.

PS-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].

PS-66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will

pay thee my vows,

PS-66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,

when I was in trouble.

PS-66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,

with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.

Selah.

PS-66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will

declare what he hath done for my soul.

PS-66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled

with my tongue.

PS-66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not

hear [me]:

PS-66:19 [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to

the voice of my prayer.

PS-66:20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,

nor his mercy from me.

*PS-67:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to

shine upon us; Selah.

PS-67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health

among all nations.

PS-67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-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.

PS-67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people

praise thee.

PS-67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God,

[even] our own God, shall bless us.

PS-67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall

fear him.

*PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before

God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

PS-68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that

rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

PS-68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,

[is] God in his holy habitation.

PS-68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out

those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a

dry [land].

PS-68:7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when

thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

PS-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.

PS-68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou

didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

PS-68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast

prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

PS-68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of

those that published [it].

PS-68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at

home divided the spoil.

PS-68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be

as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers

with yellow gold.

PS-68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white]

as snow in Salmon.

PS-68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high

hill [as] the hill of Bashan.

PS-68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which]

God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for

ever.

PS-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].

PS-68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity

captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the

rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].

PS-68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with

benefits,even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

PS-68:20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and

unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.

PS-68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the

hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

PS-68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will

bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:

PS-68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]

enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

PS-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of

my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

PS-68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments

[followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with

timbrels.

PS-68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord,

from the fountain of Israel.

PS-68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the

princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun,

[and] the princes of Naphtali.

PS-68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,

that which thou hast wrought for us.

PS-68:29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring

presents unto thee.

PS-68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the

bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit

himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that]

delight in war.

PS-68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon

stretch out her hands unto God.

PS-68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises

unto the Lord; Selah:

PS-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.

PS-68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over

Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.

PS-68:35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the

God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his]

people. Blessed [be] God.

*PS-69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of

David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

PS-69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am

come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

PS-69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes

fail while I wait for my God.

PS-69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the

hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine

enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I

took not away.

PS-69:5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not

hid from thee.

PS-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.

PS-69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath

covered my face.

PS-69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien

unto my mother's children.

PS-69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the

reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

PS-69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that

was to my reproach.

PS-69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a

proverb to them.

PS-69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was]

the song of the drunkards.

PS-69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in]

an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,

 in the truth of thy salvation.

PS-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.

PS-69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the

deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

PS-69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn

unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

PS-69:17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in

trouble: hear me speedily.

PS-69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me

because of mine enemies.

PS-69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my

dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.

PS-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.

PS-69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst

they gave me vinegar to drink.

PS-69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and [that

which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a

trap.

PS-69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make

their loins continually to shake.

PS-69:24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy

wrathful anger take hold of them.

PS-69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell

in their tents.

PS-69:26 For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and

they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

PS-69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come

into thy righteousness.

PS-69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and

not be written with the righteous.

PS-69:29 But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God,

 set me up on high.

PS-69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will

magnify him with thanksgiving.

PS-69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox

[or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

PS-69:32 The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your

heart shall live that seek God.

PS-69:33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his

prisoners.

PS-69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and

every thing that moveth therein.

PS-69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of

Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

PS-69:36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and

they that love his name shall dwell therein.

*PS-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.

PS-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.

PS-70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that

say, Aha, aha.

PS-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.

PS-70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:

thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

*PS-71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put

to confusion.

PS-71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:

incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

PS-71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may

continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for

thou [art] my rock and my fortress.

PS-71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out

of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

PS-71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust

from my youth.

PS-71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he

that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be]

continually of thee.

PS-71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong

refuge.

PS-71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy

honour all the day.

PS-71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not

when my strength faileth.

PS-71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay

wait for my soul take counsel together,

PS-71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him;

for [there is] none to deliver [him].

PS-71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my

help.

PS-71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are

adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and

dishonour that seek my hurt.

PS-71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee

more and more.

PS-71:15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy

salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].

PS-71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make

mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.

PS-71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto

have I declared thy wondrous works.

PS-71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake

me not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this] generation,

[and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.

PS-71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast

done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!

PS-71:20 [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles,

shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the

depths of the earth.

PS-71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on

every side.

PS-71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy

truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou

Holy One of Israel.

PS-71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;

and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

PS-71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the

day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto

shame, that seek my hurt.

*PS-72:1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O

God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

PS-72:2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy

poor with judgment.

PS-72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the

little hills, by righteousness.

PS-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.
