==== <PS100>

PS-100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,

all ye lands.

PS-100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence

with singing.

PS-100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that]

hath made us,

and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his

pasture.

PS-100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his

courts with

praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.

PS-100:5 For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and

his truth

[endureth] to all generations.

==== <PS101>

PS-101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment:

unto thee, O

LORD, will I sing.

PS-101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when

wilt thou come

unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

PS-101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the

work of them

that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.

PS-101:4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a

wicked

[person].

PS-101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut

off: him that

hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

PS-101:6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land,

that they may

dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve

me.

PS-101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:

he that

telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

PS-101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I

may cut off

all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

==== <PS102>

PS-102:1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and

poureth out

his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let

my cry come

unto thee.

PS-102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in

trouble; incline

thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.

PS-102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are

burned as an

hearth.

PS-102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I

forget to eat

my bread.

PS-102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave

to my skin.

PS-102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl

of the

desert.

PS-102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

PS-102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that

are mad against

me are sworn against me.

PS-102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink

with weeping,

PS-102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou

hast lifted me

up, and cast me down.

PS-102:11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am

withered like

grass.

PS-102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy

remembrance unto

all generations.

PS-102:13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the

time to favour

her, yea, the set time, is come.

PS-102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and

favour the dust

thereof.

PS-102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and

all the kings of

the earth thy glory.

PS-102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in

his glory.

PS-102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not

despise their

prayer.

PS-102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and

the people

which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

PS-102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his

sanctuary; from

heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

PS-102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those

that are

appointed to death;

PS-102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his

praise in

Jerusalem;

PS-102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the

kingdoms, to serve

the LORD.

PS-102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my

days.

PS-102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my

days: thy

years [are] throughout all generations.

PS-102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and

the heavens

[are] the work of thy hands.

PS-102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of

them shall wax

old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and

they shall be

changed:

PS-102:27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no

end.

PS-102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their

seed shall be

established before thee.

==== <PS103>

PS-103:1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all

that is within

me, [bless] his holy name.

PS-103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his

benefits:

PS-103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy

diseases;

PS-103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth

thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

PS-103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that]

thy youth is

renewed like the eagle's.

PS-103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all

that are

oppressed.

PS-103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the

children of

Israel.

PS-103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and

plenteous in

mercy.

PS-103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his

anger] for ever.

PS-103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded

us according

to our iniquities.

PS-103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great

is his mercy

toward them that fear him.

PS-103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he

removed our

transgressions from us.

PS-103:13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD

pitieth them

that fear him.

PS-103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are]

dust.

PS-103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of

the field, so

he flourisheth.

PS-103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the

place thereof

shall know it no more.

PS-103:17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to

everlasting upon

them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's

children;

PS-103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that

remember his

commandments to do them.

PS-103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and

his kingdom

ruleth over all.

PS-103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,

that do his

commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

PS-103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers

of his, that

do his pleasure.

PS-103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his

dominion: bless

the LORD, O my soul.

==== <PS104>

PS-104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very

great; thou

art clothed with honour and majesty.

PS-104:2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment:

who stretchest

out the heavens like a curtain:

PS-104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who

maketh the

clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

PS-104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming

fire:

PS-104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it

should not be

removed for ever.

PS-104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment:

the waters stood

above the mountains.

PS-104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder

they hasted

away.

PS-104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the

valleys unto the

place which thou hast founded for them.

PS-104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that

they turn not

again to cover the earth.

PS-104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run

among the

hills.

PS-104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild

asses quench

their thirst.

PS-104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their

habitation, [which]

sing among the branches.

PS-104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is

satisfied with

the fruit of thy works.

PS-104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb

for the

service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

PS-104:15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and]

oil to make

[his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.

PS-104:16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of

Lebanon,

which he hath planted;

PS-104:17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork,

the fir trees

[are] her house.

PS-104:18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats;

[and] the rocks

for the conies.

PS-104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his

going down.

PS-104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the

beasts of the

forest do creep [forth].

PS-104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their

meat from God.

PS-104:22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and

lay them down

in their dens.

PS-104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until

the evening.

PS-104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast

thou made them

all: the earth is full of thy riches.

PS-104:25 [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things

creeping

innumerable, both small and great beasts.

PS-104:26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom]

thou hast made

to play therein.

PS-104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them]

their meat in

due season.

PS-104:28 [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest

thine hand, they

are filled with good.

PS-104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest

away their

breath, they die, and return to their dust.

PS-104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and

thou renewest

the face of the earth.

PS-104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD

shall rejoice

in his works.

PS-104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth

the hills,

and they smoke.

PS-104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will

sing praise to

my God while I have my being.

PS-104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in

the LORD.

PS-104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let

the wicked be

no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS105>

PS-105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make

known his deeds

among the people.

PS-105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his

wondrous

works.

PS-105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them

rejoice that seek

the LORD.

PS-105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

PS-105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his

wonders, and the

judgments of his mouth;

PS-105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob

his chosen.

PS-105:7 He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all

the earth.

PS-105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word

[which] he

commanded to a thousand generations.

PS-105:9 Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath

unto Isaac;

PS-105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to

Israel [for]

an everlasting covenant:

PS-105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the

lot of your

inheritance:

PS-105:12 When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very

few, and

strangers in it.

PS-105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from [one]

kingdom to

another people;

PS-105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved

kings for

their sakes;

PS-105:15 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets

no harm.

PS-105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he

brake the whole

staff of bread.

PS-105:17 He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was

sold for a

servant:

PS-105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

PS-105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the

LORD tried him.

PS-105:20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the

people, and

let him go free.

PS-105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his

substance:

PS-105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his

senators wisdom.

PS-105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in

the land of Ham.

PS-105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them

stronger than

their enemies.

PS-105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal

subtly with his

servants.

PS-105:26 He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had

chosen.

PS-105:27 They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the

land of Ham.

PS-105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled

not against

his word.

PS-105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

PS-105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the

chambers of

their kings.

PS-105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and]

lice in all

their coasts.

PS-105:32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in

their land.

PS-105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and

brake the trees

of their coasts.

PS-105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and

that without

number,

PS-105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and

devoured the fruit

of their ground.

PS-105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the

chief of all

their strength.

PS-105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and

[there was] not

one feeble [person] among their tribes.

PS-105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of

them fell upon

them.

PS-105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give

light in the

night.

PS-105:40 [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and

satisfied them with

the bread of heaven.

PS-105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they

ran in the dry

places [like] a river.

PS-105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his

servant.

PS-105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his

chosen with

gladness:

PS-105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they

inherited the

labour of the people;

PS-105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his

laws. Praise ye

the LORD.

==== <PS106>

PS-106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for

[he is] good:

for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can

show forth all

his praise?

PS-106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that

doeth

righteousness at all times.

PS-106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest

unto] thy

people: O visit me with thy salvation;

PS-106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may

rejoice in the

gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

PS-106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed

iniquity, we have

done wickedly.

PS-106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they

remembered not

the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea,

[even] at the Red

sea.

PS-106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he

might make

his mighty power to be known.

PS-106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he

led them

through the depths, as through the wilderness.

PS-106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated

[them], and

redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

PS-106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not

one of them

left.

PS-106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

PS-106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his

counsel:

PS-106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted

God in the

desert.

PS-106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into

their soul.

PS-106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the

saint of the

LORD.

PS-106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered

the company of

Abiram.

PS-106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame

burned up the

wicked.

PS-106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten

image.

PS-106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of

an ox that

eateth grass.

PS-106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great

things in Egypt;

PS-106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible

things by the Red

sea.

PS-106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not

Moses his

chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath,

lest he should

destroy [them].

PS-106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed

not his word:

PS-106:25 But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto

the voice of

the LORD.

PS-106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to

overthrow them in

the wilderness:

PS-106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to

scatter them

in the lands.

PS-106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the

sacrifices of

the dead.

PS-106:29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their

inventions: and the

plague brake in upon them.

PS-106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and

[so] the plague

was stayed.

PS-106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto

all generations

for evermore.

PS-106:32 They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so

that it went ill

with Moses for their sakes:

PS-106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake

unadvisedly with

his lips.

PS-106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the

LORD commanded

them:

PS-106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their

works.

PS-106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto

them.

PS-106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters

unto devils,

PS-106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their

sons and of their

daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and

the land was

polluted with blood.

PS-106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went

a whoring with

their own inventions.

PS-106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against

his people,

insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

PS-106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and

they that hated

them ruled over them.

PS-106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were

brought into

subjection under their hand.

PS-106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked

[him] with their

counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

PS-106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he

heard their cry:

PS-106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented

according to

the multitude of his mercies.

PS-106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that

carried them

captives.

PS-106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the

heathen, to

give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.

PS-106:48 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting

to everlasting:

and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS107>

PS-107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his

mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath

redeemed from the

hand of the enemy;

PS-107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and

from the west,

from the north, and from the south.

PS-107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they

found no city

to dwell in.

PS-107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

PS-107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he delivered

them out of their distresses.

PS-107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might

go to a city

of habitation.

PS-107:8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for] his

wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the

hungry soul with

goodness.

PS-107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

[being] bound in

affliction and iron;

PS-107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and

contemned the

counsel of the most High:

PS-107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;

they fell down,

and [there was] none to help.

PS-107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and]

he saved them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of

death, and brake

their bands in sunder.

PS-107:15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the

bars of iron in

sunder.

PS-107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of

their

iniquities, are afflicted.

PS-107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw

near unto the

gates of death.

PS-107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he

saveth them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered

[them] from their

destructions.

PS-107:21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and declare

his works with rejoicing.

PS-107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do

business in great

waters;

PS-107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in

the deep.

PS-107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which

lifteth up the

waves thereof.

PS-107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the

depths: their

soul is melted because of trouble.

PS-107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

and are at

their wit's end.

PS-107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he

bringeth them

out of their distresses.

PS-107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof

are still.

PS-107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he

bringeth them unto

their desired haven.

PS-107:31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,

and [for]

his wonderful works to the children of men!

PS-107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the

people, and

praise him in the assembly of the elders.

PS-107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the

watersprings into dry

ground;

PS-107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of

them that

dwell therein.

PS-107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and

dry ground into

watersprings.

PS-107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may

prepare a

city for habitation;

PS-107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may

yield fruits of

increase.

PS-107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied

greatly; and

suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

PS-107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through

oppression,

affliction, and sorrow.

PS-107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to

wander in the

wilderness, [where there is] no way.

PS-107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and

maketh [him]

families like a flock.

PS-107:42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all

iniquity shall

stop her mouth.

PS-107:43 Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even

they shall

understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

==== <PS108>

PS-108:1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I

will sing and

give praise, even with my glory.

PS-108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

PS-108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I

will sing praises

unto thee among the nations.

PS-108:4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy

truth [reacheth]

unto the clouds.

PS-108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy

glory above all

the earth;

PS-108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy

right hand, and

answer me.

PS-108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will

divide

Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

PS-108:8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]

the strength

of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

PS-108:9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

over

Philistia will I triumph.

PS-108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead

me into Edom?

PS-108:11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and

wilt not thou,

O God, go forth with our hosts?

PS-108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of

man.

PS-108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]

shall tread

down our enemies.

==== <PS109>

PS-109:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy

peace, O God of

my praise;

PS-109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the

deceitful are opened

against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

PS-109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and

fought against

me without a cause.

PS-109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself

unto] prayer.

PS-109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for

my love.

PS-109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at

his right

hand.

PS-109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let

his prayer

become sin.

PS-109:8 Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.

PS-109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

PS-109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:

let them seek

[their bread] also out of their desolate places.

PS-109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let

the strangers

spoil his labour.

PS-109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither

let there be any

to favour his fatherless children.

PS-109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation

following let

their name be blotted out.

PS-109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the

LORD; and let

not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

PS-109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may

cut off the

memory of them from the earth.

PS-109:16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but

persecuted the

poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

PS-109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he

delighted not in

blessing, so let it be far from him.

PS-109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his

garment, so let

it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

PS-109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him,

and for a

girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

PS-109:20 [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from

the LORD, and of

them that speak evil against my soul.

PS-109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's

sake: because thy

mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.

PS-109:22 For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded

within me.

PS-109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am

tossed up and down

as the locust.

PS-109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh

faileth of fatness.

PS-109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked

upon me they

shaked their heads.

PS-109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy

mercy:

PS-109:27 That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that]

thou, LORD, hast

done it.

PS-109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let

them be

ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

PS-109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let

them cover

themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

PS-109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I

will praise him

among the multitude.

PS-109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to

save [him] from

those that condemn his soul.

==== <PS110>

PS-110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou

at my right

hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

PS-110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:

rule thou in

the midst of thine enemies.

PS-110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power,

in the

beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the

dew of thy

youth.

PS-110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a

priest for

ever after the order of Melchizedek.

PS-110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings

in the day of

his wrath.

PS-110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the

places] with the

dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

PS-110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall

he lift up

the head.

==== <PS111>

PS-111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my]

whole heart, in

the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

PS-111:2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all

them that have

pleasure therein.

PS-111:3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his

righteousness endureth

for ever.

PS-111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the

LORD [is]

gracious and full of compassion.

PS-111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will

ever be mindful

of his covenant.

PS-111:6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that

he may give

them the heritage of the heathen.

PS-111:7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all

his

commandments [are] sure.

PS-111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in

truth and

uprightness.

PS-111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded

his covenant

for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

PS-111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a

good

understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his

praise endureth

for ever.

==== <PS112>

PS-112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth

the LORD,

[that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.

PS-112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of

the upright

shall be blessed.

PS-112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his

righteousness

endureth for ever.

PS-112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:

[he is]

gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

PS-112:5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide

his affairs

with discretion.

PS-112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous

shall be in

everlasting remembrance.

PS-112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is

fixed, trusting

in the LORD.

PS-112:8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid,

until he see [his

desire] upon his enemies.

PS-112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his

righteousness

endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

PS-112:10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall

gnash with his

teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

==== <PS113>

PS-113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,

praise the

name of the LORD.

PS-113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth

and for

evermore.

PS-113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the

same the LORD's

name [is] to be praised.

PS-113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory

above the

heavens.

PS-113:5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on

high,

PS-113:6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are]

in heaven, and

in the earth!

PS-113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth

the needy out

of the dunghill;

PS-113:8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the

princes of his

people.

PS-113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a

joyful mother

of children. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS114>

PS-114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from

a people of

strange language;

PS-114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

PS-114:3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

PS-114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills

like lambs.

PS-114:5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou

Jordan,

[that] thou wast driven back?

PS-114:6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye

little hills,

like lambs?

PS-114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at

the presence of

the God of Jacob;

PS-114:8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the

flint into a

fountain of waters.

==== <PS115>

PS-115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name

give glory, for

thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.

PS-115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their

God?

PS-115:3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done

whatsoever he hath

pleased.

PS-115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's

hands.

PS-115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they,

but they see

not:

PS-115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but

they smell

not:

PS-115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they,

but they walk

not: neither speak they through their throat.

PS-115:8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every

one that

trusteth in them.

PS-115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help

and their

shield.

PS-115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their

help and their

shield.

PS-115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is]

their help and

their shield.

PS-115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us];

he will bless

the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

PS-115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small

and great.

PS-115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and

your children.

PS-115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and

earth.

PS-115:16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but

the earth hath

he given to the children of men.

PS-115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down

into silence.

PS-115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and

for evermore.

Praise the LORD.

==== <PS116>

PS-116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my

supplications.

PS-116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore

will I call upon

[him] as long as I live.

PS-116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of

hell gat hold

upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

PS-116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I

beseech thee,

deliver my soul.

PS-116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God

[is] merciful.

PS-116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and

he helped me.

PS-116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath

dealt bountifully

with thee.

PS-116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes

from tears,

[and] my feet from falling.

PS-116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

PS-116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly

afflicted:

PS-116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

PS-116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his

benefits toward me?

PS-116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the

name of the

LORD.

PS-116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence

of all his

people.

PS-116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of

his saints.

PS-116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant,

[and] the son

of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

PS-116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call

upon the name of the LORD.

PS-116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence

of all his

people,

PS-116:19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of

thee, O

Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS117>

PS-117:1 O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye

people.

PS-117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the

truth of the

LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS118>

PS-118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because

his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever.

PS-118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy

[endureth] for

ever.

PS-118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered

me, [and set

me] in a large place.

PS-118:6 The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man

do unto me?

PS-118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:

therefore shall I see

[my desire] upon them that hate me.

PS-118:8 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put

confidence in man.

PS-118:9 [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put

confidence in

princes.

PS-118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the

LORD will I

destroy them.

PS-118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:

but in the

name of the LORD I will destroy them.

PS-118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched

as the fire of

thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

PS-118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the

LORD helped

me.

PS-118:14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my

salvation.

PS-118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the

tabernacles of the

righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

PS-118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand

of the LORD

doeth valiantly.

PS-118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of

the LORD.

PS-118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given

me over unto

death.

PS-118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into

them, [and] I

will praise the LORD:

PS-118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall

enter.

PS-118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art

become my

salvation.

PS-118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the

head [stone] of

the corner.

PS-118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our

eyes.

PS-118:24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will

rejoice and be

glad in it.

PS-118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech

thee, send now

prosperity.

PS-118:26 Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD:

we have blessed

you out of the house of the LORD.

PS-118:27 God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind

the sacrifice

with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.

PS-118:28 Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art]

my God, I will

exalt thee.

PS-118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his

mercy

[endureth] for ever.

==== <PS119>

PS-119:1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk

in the law of

the LORD.

PS-119:2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and

that] seek him

with the whole heart.

PS-119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

PS-119:4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts

diligently.

PS-119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

PS-119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto

all thy

commandments.

PS-119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I

shall have

learned thy righteous judgments.

PS-119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

PS-119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by

taking heed

[thereto] according to thy word.

PS-119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not

wander from thy

commandments.

PS-119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not

sin against

thee.

PS-119:12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy

mouth.

PS-119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as

[much as] in all

riches.

PS-119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto

thy ways.

PS-119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not

forget thy word.

PS-119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may

live, and

keep thy word.

PS-119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things

out of thy

law.

PS-119:19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy

commandments from me.

PS-119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto

thy judgments

at all times.

PS-119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which

do err from thy

commandments.

PS-119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept

thy

testimonies.

PS-119:23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy

servant did

meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my

counsellors.

PS-119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou

me according to

thy word.

PS-119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach

me thy

statutes.

PS-119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so

shall I talk of

thy wondrous works.

PS-119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me

according unto thy

word.

PS-119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law

graciously.

PS-119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I

laid [before

me].

PS-119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not

to shame.

PS-119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou

shalt enlarge my

heart.

PS-119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I

shall keep it

[unto] the end.

PS-119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea,

I shall

observe it with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for

therein do I

delight.

PS-119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to

covetousness.

PS-119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and]

quicken thou me in

thy way.

PS-119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted]

to thy fear.

PS-119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments

[are] good.

PS-119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me

in thy

righteousness.

PS-119:41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even]

thy

salvation, according to thy word.

PS-119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that

reproacheth me: for I

trust in thy word.

PS-119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;

for I have

hoped in thy judgments.

PS-119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

PS-119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

PS-119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and

will not be

ashamed.

PS-119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I

have loved.

PS-119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,

which I have

loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

PS-119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which

thou hast

caused me to hope.

PS-119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word

hath quickened

me.

PS-119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have

I not declined

from thy law.

PS-119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have

comforted

myself.

PS-119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked

that forsake

thy law.

PS-119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my

pilgrimage.

PS-119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and

have kept thy

law.

PS-119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

PS-119:57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that

I would keep

thy words.

PS-119:58 I entreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be

merciful unto me

according to thy word.

PS-119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy

testimonies.

PS-119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

PS-119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have

not forgotten

thy law.

PS-119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee

because of thy

righteous judgments.

PS-119:63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and

of them that

keep thy precepts.

PS-119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy

statutes.

PS-119:65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD,

according unto

thy word.

PS-119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have

believed thy

commandments.

PS-119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I

kept thy word.

PS-119:68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

PS-119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will

keep thy

precepts with [my] whole heart.

PS-119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in

thy law.

PS-119:71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I

might learn

thy statutes.

PS-119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than

thousands of gold and

silver.

PS-119:73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me

understanding,

that I may learn thy commandments.

PS-119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me;

because I have

hoped in thy word.

PS-119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and

[that] thou in

faithfulness hast afflicted me.

PS-119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my

comfort, according

to thy word unto thy servant.

PS-119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live:

for thy law

[is] my delight.

PS-119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely

with me without

a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.

PS-119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that

have known thy

testimonies.

PS-119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not

ashamed.

PS-119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope

in thy word.

PS-119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou

comfort me?

PS-119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I

not forget

thy statutes.

PS-119:84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou

execute

judgment on them that persecute me?

PS-119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not

after thy law.

PS-119:86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me

wrongfully;

help thou me.

PS-119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook

not thy

precepts.

PS-119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep

the testimony

of thy mouth.

PS-119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

PS-119:90 Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast

established

the earth, and it abideth.

PS-119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances:

for all [are]

thy servants.

PS-119:92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then

have perished

in mine affliction.

PS-119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou

hast quickened

me.

PS-119:94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

PS-119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I

will consider

thy testimonies.

PS-119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy

commandment [is]

exceeding broad.

PS-119:97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all

the day.

PS-119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than

mine enemies:

for they [are] ever with me.

PS-119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for

thy testimonies

[are] my meditation.

PS-119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I

might keep thy

word.

PS-119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast

taught me.

PS-119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter]

than honey to

my mouth!

PS-119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I

hate every

false way.

PS-119:105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light

unto my path.

PS-119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will

keep thy

righteous judgments.

PS-119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD,

according unto thy

word.

PS-119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my

mouth, O LORD,

and teach me thy judgments.

PS-119:109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not

forget thy law.

PS-119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not

from thy

precepts.

PS-119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:

for they

[are] the rejoicing of my heart.

PS-119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes

alway, [even

unto] the end.

PS-119:113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.

PS-119:114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in

thy word.

PS-119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the

commandments of

my God.

PS-119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:

and let me not

be ashamed of my hope.

PS-119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have

respect unto

thy statutes continually.

PS-119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy

statutes: for

their deceit [is] falsehood.

PS-119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like]

dross:

therefore I love thy testimonies.

PS-119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid

of thy

judgments.

PS-119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not

to mine

oppressors.

PS-119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud

oppress me.

PS-119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of

thy

righteousness.

PS-119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and

teach me thy

statutes.

PS-119:125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may

know thy

testimonies.

PS-119:126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they

have made void

thy law.

PS-119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea,

above fine gold.

PS-119:128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning]

all [things to

be] right; [and] I hate every false way.

PS-119:129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth

my soul keep

them.

PS-119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth

understanding

unto the simple.

PS-119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy

commandments.

PS-119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou

usest to do

unto those that love thy name.

PS-119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity

have dominion

over me.

PS-119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep

thy precepts.

PS-119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me

thy statutes.

PS-119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they

keep not thy law.

PS-119:137 TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright

[are] thy

judgments.

PS-119:138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are]

righteous and very

faithful.

PS-119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have

forgotten thy

words.

PS-119:140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth

it.

PS-119:141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy

precepts.

PS-119:142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness,

and thy law

[is] the truth.

PS-119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy

commandments

[are] my delights.

PS-119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting:

give me

understanding, and I shall live.

PS-119:145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD:

I will keep

thy statutes.

PS-119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy

testimonies.

PS-119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I

hoped in thy

word.

PS-119:148 Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might

meditate in thy

word.

PS-119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O

LORD, quicken me

according to thy judgment.

PS-119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are

far from thy

law.

PS-119:151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments

[are] truth.

PS-119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that

thou hast

founded them for ever.

PS-119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I

do not forget

thy law.

PS-119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according

to thy word.

PS-119:155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not

thy statutes.

PS-119:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me

according to thy

judgments.

PS-119:157 Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do

I not decline

from thy testimonies.

PS-119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because

they kept not

thy word.

PS-119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,

according to

thy lovingkindness.

PS-119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every

one of thy

righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.

PS-119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:

but my heart

standeth in awe of thy word.

PS-119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great

spoil.

PS-119:163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.

PS-119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy

righteous

judgments.

PS-119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing

shall offend

them.

PS-119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy

commandments.

PS-119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them

exceedingly.

PS-119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all

my ways [are]

before thee.

PS-119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me

understanding according to thy word.

PS-119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me

according to thy

word.

PS-119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me

thy statutes.

PS-119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy

commandments [are]

righteousness.

PS-119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy

precepts.

PS-119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law

[is] my

delight.

PS-119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let

thy judgments

help me.

PS-119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy

servant; for I do

not forget thy commandments.

==== <PS120>

PS-120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD,

and he heard

me.

PS-120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a

deceitful

tongue.

PS-120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done

unto thee, thou

false tongue?

PS-120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

PS-120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in

the tents of

Kedar!

PS-120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

PS-120:7 I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.

==== <PS121>

PS-121:1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the

hills, from

whence cometh my help.

PS-121:2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and

earth.

PS-121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that

keepeth thee will

not slumber.

PS-121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber

nor sleep.

PS-121:5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon

thy right

hand.

PS-121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by

night.

PS-121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall

preserve thy

soul.

PS-121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

from this

time forth, and even for evermore.

==== <PS122>

PS-122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said

unto me, Let us

go into the house of the LORD.

PS-122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

PS-122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

PS-122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto

the testimony

of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

PS-122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of

the house of

David.

PS-122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper

that love thee.

PS-122:7 Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy

palaces.

PS-122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say,

Peace [be]

within thee.

PS-122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek

thy good.

==== <PS123>

PS-123:1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O

thou that

dwellest in the heavens.

PS-123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of

their

masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her

mistress; so our

eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon

us.

PS-123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we

are

exceedingly filled with contempt.

PS-123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of

those that are at

ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.

==== <PS124>

PS-124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the

LORD who was on

our side, now may Israel say;

PS-124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when

men rose up

against us:

PS-124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath

was kindled

against us:

PS-124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone

over our

soul:

PS-124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

PS-124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a

prey to their

teeth.

PS-124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the

fowlers: the

snare is broken, and we are escaped.

PS-124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven

and earth.

==== <PS125>

PS-125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall

be] as mount

Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

PS-125:2 As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the

LORD [is] round

about his people from henceforth even for ever.

PS-125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot

of the

righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto

iniquity.

PS-125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to

them that are]

upright in their hearts.

PS-125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the

LORD shall

lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall

be] upon

Israel.

==== <PS126>

PS-126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the

captivity of Zion,

we were like them that dream.

PS-126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue

with singing:

then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great

things for them.

PS-126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we

are glad.

PS-126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the

south.

PS-126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

PS-126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,

shall

doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with

him].

==== <PS127>

PS-127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build

the house, they

labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the

watchman

waketh [but] in vain.

PS-127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,

to eat the

bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.

PS-127:3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the

fruit of the

womb [is his] reward.

PS-127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are]

children of the

youth.

PS-127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them:

they shall not

be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

==== <PS128>

PS-128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth

the LORD; that

walketh in his ways.

PS-128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy

[shalt] thou

[be], and [it shall be] well with thee.

PS-128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of

thine house:

thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

PS-128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth

the LORD.

PS-128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt

see the good of

Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

PS-128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and]

peace upon Israel.

==== <PS129>

PS-129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me

from my youth,

may Israel now say:

PS-129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet

they have not

prevailed against me.

PS-129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their

furrows.

PS-129:4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords

of the wicked.

PS-129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate

Zion.

PS-129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which

withereth afore

it groweth up:

PS-129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that

bindeth sheaves

his bosom.

PS-129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the

LORD [be] upon

you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

==== <PS130>

PS-130:1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto

thee, O LORD.

PS-130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the

voice of my

supplications.

PS-130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who

shall stand?

PS-130:4 But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest

be feared.

PS-130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word

do I hope.

PS-130:6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that

watch for the

morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.

PS-130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there

is] mercy, and

with him [is] plenteous redemption.

PS-130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

==== <PS131>

PS-131:1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not

haughty, nor mine

eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in

things too

high for me.

PS-131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child

that is weaned

of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.

PS-131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for

ever.

==== <PS132>

PS-132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his

afflictions:

PS-132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty

[God] of

Jacob;

PS-132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

nor go up

into my bed;

PS-132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to

mine eyelids,

PS-132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation

for the mighty

[God] of Jacob.

PS-132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the

fields of the

wood.

PS-132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his

footstool.

PS-132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy

strength.

PS-132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let

thy saints

shout for joy.

PS-132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of

thine

anointed.

PS-132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not

turn from it;

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

PS-132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony

that I shall

teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for

evermore.

PS-132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it]

for his

habitation.

PS-132:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I

have desired

it.

PS-132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy

her poor with

bread.

PS-132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her

saints shall

shout aloud for joy.

PS-132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have

ordained a lamp

for mine anointed.

PS-132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself

shall his

crown flourish.

==== <PS133>

PS-133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how

pleasant [it is]

for brethren to dwell together in unity!

PS-133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that

ran down upon

the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of

his garments;

PS-133:3 As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended

upon the

mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing,

[even] life for

evermore.

==== <PS134>

PS-134:1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye]

servants of

the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

PS-134:2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the

LORD.

PS-134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of

Zion.

==== <PS135>

PS-135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD;

praise [him], O

ye servants of the LORD.

PS-135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts

of the house of

our God,

PS-135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises

unto his name;

for [it is] pleasant.

PS-135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and]

Israel for his

peculiar treasure.

PS-135:5 For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our

Lord [is] above

all gods.

PS-135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven,

and in earth,

in the seas, and all deep places.

PS-135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the

earth; he

maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his

treasuries.

PS-135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

PS-135:9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O

Egypt, upon

Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

PS-135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

PS-135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and

all the

kingdoms of Canaan:

PS-135:12 And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage

unto Israel his

people.

PS-135:13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy

memorial, O LORD,

throughout all generations.

PS-135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent

himself

concerning his servants.

PS-135:15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the

work of men's

hands.

PS-135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they,

but they see

not;

PS-135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there

[any] breath in

their mouths.

PS-135:18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every

one that

trusteth in them.

PS-135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O

house of Aaron:

PS-135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD,

bless the

LORD.

PS-135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at

Jerusalem. Praise

ye the LORD.

PS-136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his

mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy

PS-136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever.

PS-136:10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his

mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for

his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his

mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for

his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for

his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness:

for his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

PS-136:17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy

[endureth] for ever:

PS-136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever:

PS-136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:22 [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his

mercy [endureth]

for ever.

PS-136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever:

PS-136:24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever.

PS-136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth]

for ever.

PS-136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy

[endureth] for

ever.

==== <PS137>

PS-137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we

wept, when we

remembered Zion.

PS-137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst

thereof.

PS-137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of

us a song;

and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing

us [one] of the

songs of Zion.

PS-137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

PS-137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget

[her

cunning].

PS-137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the

roof of my

mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

PS-137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of

Jerusalem; who

said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the foundation thereof.

PS-137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy

[shall he be],

that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

PS-137:9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little

ones against

the stones.

==== <PS138>

PS-138:1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole

heart: before

the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

PS-138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy

name for thy

lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy

word above all

thy name.

PS-138:3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and]

strengthenedst me

[with] strength in my soul.

PS-138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,

when they hear

the words of thy mouth.

PS-138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great

[is] the

glory of the LORD.

PS-138:6 Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the

lowly: but

the proud he knoweth afar off.

PS-138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive

me: thou

shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies,

and thy

right hand shall save me.

PS-138:8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy

mercy, O LORD,

[endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

==== <PS139>

PS-139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou

hast searched

me, and known [me].

PS-139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou

understandest my

thought afar off.

PS-139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art

acquainted [with]

all my ways.

PS-139:4 For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O

LORD, thou

knowest it altogether.

PS-139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine

hand upon me.

PS-139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high,

I cannot

[attain] unto it.

PS-139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I

flee from thy

presence?

PS-139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make

my bed in

hell, behold, thou [art there].

PS-139:9 [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in

the uttermost

parts of the sea;

PS-139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand

shall hold me.

PS-139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the

night shall

be light about me.

PS-139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night

shineth as the

day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].

PS-139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me

in my

mother's womb.

PS-139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and]

wonderfully made:

marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right

well.

PS-139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in

secret, [and]

curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

PS-139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;

and in thy

book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were

fashioned,

when [as yet there was] none of them.

PS-139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how

great is the

sum of them!

PS-139:18 [If] I should count them, they are more in number than

the sand:

when I awake, I am still with thee.

PS-139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from

me therefore,

ye bloody men.

PS-139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine

enemies take [thy

name] in vain.

PS-139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not

I grieved

with those that rise up against thee?

PS-139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine

enemies.

PS-139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know

my thoughts:

PS-139:24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead

me in the way

everlasting.

==== <PS140>

PS-140:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O

LORD, from the

evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

PS-140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually

are they

gathered together [for] war.

PS-140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;

adders' poison [is]

under their lips. Selah.

PS-140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve

me from the

violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

PS-140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have

spread a net

by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

PS-140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice

of my

supplications, O LORD.

PS-140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast

covered my

head in the day of battle.

PS-140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further

not his wicked

device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah.

PS-140:9 [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let

the mischief of

their own lips cover them.

PS-140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast

into the fire;

into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

PS-140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:

evil shall hunt

the violent man to overthrow [him].

PS-140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the

afflicted, [and]

the right of the poor.

PS-140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:

the upright

shall dwell in thy presence.

==== <PS141>

PS-141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste

unto me; give ear

unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

PS-141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense;

[and] the

lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

PS-141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of

my lips.

PS-141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice

wicked works

with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their

dainties.

PS-141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness:

and let him

reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not

break my head:

for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.

PS-141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they

shall hear my

words; for they are sweet.

PS-141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when

one cutteth and

cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.

PS-141:8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee

is my trust;

leave not my soul destitute.

PS-141:9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me,

and the gins

of the workers of iniquity.

PS-141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I

withal

escape.

==== <PS142>

PS-142:1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I

cried unto the

LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my

supplication.

PS-142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before

him my trouble.

PS-142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou

knewest my path.

In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for

me.

PS-142:4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there

was] no man that

would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

PS-142:5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge

[and] my

portion in the land of the living.

PS-142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver

me from my

persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

PS-142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name:

the

righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal

bountifully with me.

==== <PS143>

PS-143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my

supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy

righteousness.

PS-143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in

thy sight shall

no man living be justified.

PS-143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten

my life down

to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those

that have been

long dead.

PS-143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart

within me is

desolate.

PS-143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works;

I muse on

the work of thy hands.

PS-143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth]

after thee,

as a thirsty land. Selah.

PS-143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not

thy face from

me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

PS-143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for

in thee do I

trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I

lift up my soul

unto thee.

PS-143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee

to hide me.

PS-143:10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy

spirit [is]

good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

PS-143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy

righteousness' sake

bring my soul out of trouble.

PS-143:12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all

them that

afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.

==== <PS144>

PS-144:1 [A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength,

which teacheth

my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:

PS-144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my

deliverer; my

shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under

me.

PS-144:3 LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him!

[or] the son

of man, that thou makest account of him!

PS-144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that

passeth away.

PS-144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the

mountains, and they

shall smoke.

PS-144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine

arrows, and

destroy them.

PS-144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out

of great

waters, from the hand of strange children;

PS-144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is]

a right hand

of falsehood.

PS-144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a

psaltery [and] an

instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

PS-144:10 [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who

delivereth David

his servant from the hurtful sword.

PS-144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange

children, whose

mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of

falsehood:

PS-144:12 That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their

youth; [that] our

daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished [after] the

similitude of a

palace:

PS-144:13 [That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner

of store:

[that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in

our streets:

PS-144:14 [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there

be] no

breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no complaining in

our streets.

PS-144:15 Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea],

happy [is

that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.

==== <PS145>

PS-145:1 David's [Psalm] of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O

king; and I

will bless thy name for ever and ever.

PS-145:2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name

for ever and

ever.

PS-145:3 Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his

greatness

[is] unsearchable.

PS-145:4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and

shall declare

thy mighty acts.

PS-145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and

of thy

wondrous works.

PS-145:6 And [men] shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:

and I will

declare thy greatness.

PS-145:7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great

goodness, and

shall sing of thy righteousness.

PS-145:8 The LORD [is] gracious, and full of compassion; slow to

anger, and of

great mercy.

PS-145:9 The LORD [is] good to all: and his tender mercies [are]

over all his

works.

PS-145:10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy

saints shall bless

thee.

PS-145:11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk

of thy power;

PS-145:12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and

the glorious

majesty of his kingdom.

PS-145:13 Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and thy

dominion [endureth]

throughout all generations.

PS-145:14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all

[those that be]

bowed down.

PS-145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them

their meat in

due season.

PS-145:16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of

every living

thing.

PS-145:17 The LORD [is] righteous in all his ways, and holy in

all his works.

PS-145:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him,

to all that

call upon him in truth.

PS-145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he

also will hear

their cry, and will save them.

PS-145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all

the wicked will

he destroy.

PS-145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let

all flesh bless

his holy name for ever and ever.

==== <PS146>

PS-146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

PS-146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing

praises unto my God

while I have any being.

PS-146:3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man,

in whom

[there is] no help.

PS-146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in

that very day

his thoughts perish.

PS-146:5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope

[is] in the LORD his God:

PS-146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that

therein [is]:

which keepeth truth for ever:

PS-146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which

giveth food to the

hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

PS-146:8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD

raiseth them that

are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

PS-146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the

fatherless and

widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

PS-146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion,

unto all

generations. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS147>

PS-147:1 Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises

unto our God;

for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.

PS-147:2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together

the outcasts

of Israel.

PS-147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their

wounds.

PS-147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all

by [their]

names.

PS-147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his

understanding [is]

infinite.

PS-147:6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked

down to the

ground.

PS-147:7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon

the harp unto

our God:

PS-147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain

for the

earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

PS-147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young

ravens which cry.

PS-147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he

taketh not

pleasure in the legs of a man.

PS-147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in

those that hope

in his mercy.

PS-147:12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

PS-147:13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he

hath blessed thy

children within thee.

PS-147:14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee

with the finest

of the wheat.

PS-147:15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his

word runneth very

swiftly.

PS-147:16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost

like ashes.

PS-147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand

before his

cold?

PS-147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth

his wind to

blow, [and] the waters flow.

PS-147:19 He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his

judgments unto

Israel.

PS-147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his]

judgments,

they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

==== <PS148>

PS-148:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:

praise him

in the heights.

hosts.

of light.

PS-148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that

[be] above the

heavens.

PS-148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded,

and they were

created.

PS-148:6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath

made a decree

which shall not pass.

PS-148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all

deeps:

PS-148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind

fulfilling his word:

PS-148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all

cedars:

PS-148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying

fowl:

PS-148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all

judges of the

earth:

PS-148:12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

PS-148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name

alone is

excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

all his

saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.

Praise ye

the LORD.

==== <PS149>

PS-149:1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song,

in the congregation of saints.

children of Zion be

joyful in their King.

PS-149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing

praises unto him

with the timbrel and harp.

PS-149:4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will

beautify the meek

with salvation.

PS-149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud

upon their

beds.

PS-149:6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth,

and a twoedged

sword in their hand;

PS-149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and]

punishments upon the

people;

PS-149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with

fetters of

iron;

PS-149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour

have all his

saints. Praise ye the LORD.
