1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 1:4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession. 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him. 3:1 + 3:2 \3:1\ LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me. 3:3 \3:2\Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah. 3:4 \3:3\But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 3:5 \3:4\I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 3:6 \3:5\I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 3:7 \3:6\I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me round about. 3:8 \3:7\Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 3:9 \3:8\Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah. 4:1 + 4:2 \4:1\ Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 4:3 \4:2\O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah. 4:4 \4:3\But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4:5 \4:4\Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 4:6 \4:5\Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 4:7 \4:6\[There be] many that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 4:8 \4:7\Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased. 4:9 \4:8\I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. 5:1 + 5:2 \5:1\ Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 5:3 \5:2\Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 5:4 \5:3\My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up. 5:5 \5:4\For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5:6 \5:5\The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 5:7 \5:6\Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 5:8 \5:7\But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 5:9 \5:8\Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 5:10 \5:9\For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 5:11 \5:10\Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 5:12 \5:11\But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 5:13 \5:12\For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield. 6:1 + 6:2 \6:1\ O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 6:3 \6:2\Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 6:4 \6:3\My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 6:5 \6:4\Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 6:6 \6:5\For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6:7 \6:6\I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 6:8 \6:7\Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 6:9 \6:8\Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 6:10 \6:9\The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 6:11 \6:10\Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly. 7:1 + 7:2 \7:1\ O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 7:3 \7:2\Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver. 7:4 \7:3\O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 7:5 \7:4\If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 7:6 \7:5\Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 7:7 \7:6\Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded. 7:8 \7:7\So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 7:9 \7:8\The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me. 7:10 \7:9\Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 7:11 \7:10\My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 7:12 \7:11\God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. 7:13 \7:12\If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 7:14 \7:13\He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 7:15 \7:14\Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 7:16 \7:15\He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made. 7:17 \7:16\His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 7:18 \7:17\I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. 8:1 + 8:2 \8:1\ O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 8:3 \8:2\Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 8:4 \8:3\When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 8:5 \8:4\What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 8:6 \8:5\For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 8:7 \8:6\Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: 8:8 \8:7\All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8:9 \8:8\The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. 8:10 \8:9\O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! 9:1 + 9:2 \9:1\ I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 9:3 \9:2\I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 9:4 \9:3\When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 9:5 \9:4\For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 9:6 \9:5\Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 9:7 \9:6\O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 9:8 \9:7\But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 9:9 \9:8\And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9:10 \9:9\The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 9:11 \9:10\And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 9:12 \9:11\Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 9:13 \9:12\When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 9:14 \9:13\Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 9:15 \9:14\That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 9:16 \9:15\The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 9:17 \9:16\The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 9:18 \9:17\The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. 9:19 \9:18\For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever. 9:20 \9:19\Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 9:21 \9:20\Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah. 10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble? 10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth. 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts. 10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity. 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity. 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it]. 10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]. 10:14 Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. 10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. 11:1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain? 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 11:4 The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup. 11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. 12:1 + 12:2 \12:1\ Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 12:3 \12:2\They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak. 12:4 \12:3\The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things: 12:5 \12:4\Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us? 12:6 \12:5\For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from him that] puffeth at him. 12:7 \12:6\The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 12:8 \12:7\Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 12:9 \12:8\The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. 13:1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 13:3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death; 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good. 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God. 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous. 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge. 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. 15:1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 15:3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth not. 15:5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved. 16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; 16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. 17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips. 17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress. 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer. 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not. 17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech. 17:7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them]. 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass me about. 17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword: 17:14 From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes. 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. 18:1 + 18:2 \18:1\ I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 18:3 \18:2\The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. 18:4 \18:3\I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 18:5 \18:4\The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 18:6 \18:5\The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 18:7 \18:6\In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears. 18:8 \18:7\Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 18:9 \18:8\There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 18:10 \18:9\He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet. 18:11 \18:10\And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 18:12 \18:11\He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. 18:13 \18:12\At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire. 18:14 \18:13\The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. 18:15 \18:14\Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 18:16 \18:15\Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 18:17 \18:16\He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 18:18 \18:17\He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18:19 \18:18\They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 18:20 \18:19\He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 18:21 \18:20\The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 18:22 \18:21\For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 18:23 \18:22\For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 18:24 \18:23\I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 18:25 \18:24\Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 18:26 \18:25\With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 18:27 \18:26\With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 18:28 \18:27\For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 18:29 \18:28\For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 18:30 \18:29\For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 18:31 \18:30\[As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him. 18:32 \18:31\For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? 18:33 \18:32\[It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 18:34 \18:33\He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places. 18:35 \18:34\He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 18:36 \18:35\Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 18:37 \18:36\Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 18:38 \18:37\I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 18:39 \18:38\I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 18:40 \18:39\For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 18:41 \18:40\Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 18:42 \18:41\They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 18:43 \18:42\Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 18:44 \18:43\Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me. 18:45 \18:44\As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 18:46 \18:45\The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 18:47 \18:46\The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 18:48 \18:47\[It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 18:49 \18:48\He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 18:50 \18:49\Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 18:51 \18:50\Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 19:1 + 19:2 \19:1\ The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 19:3 \19:2\Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 19:4 \19:3\[There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. 19:5 \19:4\Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 19:6 \19:5\Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 19:7 \19:6\His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 19:8 \19:7\The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. 19:9 \19:8\The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. 19:10 \19:9\The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. 19:11 \19:10\More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 19:12 \19:11\Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward. 19:13 \19:12\Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults]. 19:14 \19:13\Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 19:15 \19:14\Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. 20:1 + 20:2 \20:1\ The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 20:3 \20:2\Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 20:4 \20:3\Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. 20:5 \20:4\Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 20:6 \20:5\We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. 20:7 \20:6\Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 20:8 \20:7\Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 20:9 \20:8\They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 20:10 \20:9\Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. 21:1 + 21:2 \21:1\ The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 21:3 \21:2\Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 21:4 \21:3\For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 21:5 \21:4\He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days for ever and ever. 21:6 \21:5\His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 21:7 \21:6\For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 21:8 \21:7\For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 21:9 \21:8\Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 21:10 \21:9\Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 21:11 \21:10\Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 21:12 \21:11\For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform]. 21:13 \21:12\Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them. 21:14 \21:13\Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power. 22:1 + 22:2 \22:1\ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? 22:3 \22:2\O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 22:4 \22:3\But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 22:5 \22:4\Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 22:6 \22:5\They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 22:7 \22:6\But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 22:8 \22:7\All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying], 22:9 \22:8\He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 22:10 \22:9\But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts. 22:11 \22:10\I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly. 22:12 \22:11\Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help. 22:13 \22:12\Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round. 22:14 \22:13\They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion. 22:15 \22:14\I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 22:16 \22:15\My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 22:17 \22:16\For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 22:18 \22:17\I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me. 22:19 \22:18\They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 22:20 \22:19\But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 22:21 \22:20\Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 22:22 \22:21\Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 22:23 \22:22\I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 22:24 \22:23\Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 22:25 \22:24\For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 22:26 \22:25\My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 22:27 \22:26\The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 22:28 \22:27\All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 22:29 \22:28\For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the governor among the nations. 22:30 \22:29\All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 22:31 \22:30\A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 22:32 \22:31\They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this]. 23:1 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 24:1 The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 24:6 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 24:8 Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah. 25:1 <[A Psalm] of David.> Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 25:4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old. 25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. 25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great. 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. 25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. 25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses. 25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. 26:1 <[A Psalm] of David.> Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide. 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 26:10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. 27:1 <[A Psalm] of David.> The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident. 27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. 27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 28:1 <[A Psalm] of David.> Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their hearts. 28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 28:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 28:7 The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 28:8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of his anointed. 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. 29:1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 29:3 The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters. 29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty. 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory. 29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
