+THE

+BOOK OF PSALMS
+6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy
+hill of Zion.
+7 I will declare the decree: the LORD
+hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this
+day have I begotten thee.
+8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
+heathen for thine inheritance, and the
+uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
+9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of
+iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like
+a potter’s vessel.
+10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
+be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
+11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
+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.
+
+PSALM
+PSALM 11
+LESSED 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.
+2 But his delight is in the law of the
+LORD; and in his law doth he meditate
+day and night.
+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.
+4 The ungodly are not so: but are like
+the chaff which the wind driveth away.
+5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand
+in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
+6 For the LORD knoweth the way of
+the righteous: but the way of the ungodly
+shall perish.
+
+B
+
+PSALM 3
+A Psalm of David, when he fled from
+Absalom his son.
+
+PSALM 2
+HY do the heathen rage, and the
+people imagine a vain thing?
+2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
+and the rulers take counsel together,
+against the L ORD , and against his
+anointed, saying,
+3 Let us break their bands asunder, and
+cast away their cords from us.
+4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall
+laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
+5 Then shall he speak unto them in his
+wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
+
+W
+
+L
+
+ORD, how are they increased that
+trouble me! many are they that rise
+up against me.
+2 Many there be which say of my soul,
+There is no help for him in God. Selah.
+3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for
+me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine
+head.
+4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice,
+and he heard me out of his holy hill.
+Selah.
+5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked;
+for the LORD sustained me.
+6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands
+
+1
+
+PSALMS 4–6
+my King, and my God: for unto thee will
+I pray.
+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.
+4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil
+dwell with thee.
+5 The foolish shall not stand in thy
+sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
+6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak
+leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody
+and deceitful man.
+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.
+8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy
+way straight before my face.
+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.
+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.
+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.
+12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass
+him as with a shield.
+
+of people, that have set themselves
+against me round about.
+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.
+8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD:
+thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
+PSALM 4
+To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+H
+
+EAR 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.
+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.
+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 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune
+with your own heart upon your bed, and
+be still. Selah.
+5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
+and put your trust in the LORD.
+6 There be many that say, Who will
+shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up
+the light of thy countenance upon us.
+7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
+more than in the time that their corn and
+their wine increased.
+8 I will both lay me down in peace,
+and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest
+me dwell in safety.
+
+PSALM 6
+
+PSALM 5
+
+To the chief Musician on Neginoth
+upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
+
+To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth,
+A Psalm of David.
+IVE ear to my words, O LORD,
+
+O
+
+LORD, rebuke me not in thine
+anger, neither chasten me in thy
+hot displeasure.
+2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for
+
+G
+
+consider my meditation.
+2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
+2
+
+PSALMS 7, 8
+I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my
+bones are vexed.
+3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou,
+O LORD, how long?
+4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:
+oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
+5 For in death there is no remembrance
+of thee: in the grave who shall give thee
+thanks?
+6 I am weary with my groaning; all the
+night make I my bed to swim; I water
+my couch with my tears.
+7 Mine eye is consumed because of
+grief; it waxeth old because of all mine
+enemies.
+8 Depart from me, all ye workers of
+iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the
+voice of my weeping.
+9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
+10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed
+and sore vexed: let them return and be
+ashamed suddenly.
+
+up thyself because of the rage of mine
+enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
+7 So shall the congregation of the
+people compass thee about: for their
+sakes therefore return thou on high.
+8 The LORD shall judge the people:
+judge me, O LORD, according to my
+righteousness, and according to mine
+integrity that is in me.
+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.
+10 My defence is of God, which saveth
+the upright in heart.
+11 God judgeth the righteous, and God
+is angry with the wicked every day.
+12 If he turn not, he will whet his
+sword; he hath bent his bow, and made
+it ready.
+13 He hath also prepared for him the
+instruments of death; he ordaineth his
+arrows against the persecutors.
+14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,
+and hath conceived mischief, and
+brought forth falsehood.
+15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is
+fallen into the ditch which he made.
+16 His mischief shall return upon his
+own head, and his violent dealing shall
+come down upon his own pate.
+17 I will praise the LORD according to
+his righteousness: and will sing praise
+to the name of the LORD most high.
+
+PSALM 7
+Shiggaion of David, which he sang
+unto the LORD, concerning the words
+of Cush the Benjamite.
+
+O
+
+LORD my God, in thee do I put
+my trust: save me from all them
+that persecute me, and deliver me:
+2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to
+deliver.
+3 O LORD my God, If I have done this;
+if there be iniquity in my hands;
+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:)
+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.
+6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift
+
+PSALM 8
+To the chief Musician upon Gittith,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+O
+
+LORD, our Lord, how excellent
+is thy name in all the earth! who
+hast set thy glory above the heavens.
+2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength
+
+3
+
+PSALM 9
+because of thine enemies, that thou
+mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
+3 When I consider thy heavens, the
+work of thy fingers, the moon and the
+stars, which thou hast ordained;
+4 What is man, that thou art mindful
+of him? and the son of man, that thou
+visitest him?
+5 For thou hast made him a little lower
+than the angels, and hast crowned him
+with glory and honour.
+6 Thou madest him to have dominion
+over the works of thy hands; thou hast
+put all things under his feet:
+7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
+beasts of the field;
+8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of
+the sea, and whatsoever passeth through
+the paths of the seas.
+9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is
+thy name in all the earth!
+
+7 But the LORD shall endure for ever:
+he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
+8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to
+the people in uprightness.
+9 The LORD also will be a refuge for
+the oppressed, a refuge in times of
+trouble.
+10 And they that know thy name will
+put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD,
+hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
+11 Sing praises to the LORD, which
+dwelleth in Zion: declare among the
+people his doings.
+12 When he maketh inquisition for
+blood, he remembereth them: he
+forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
+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:
+14 That I may shew forth all thy praise
+in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I
+will rejoice in thy salvation.
+15 The heathen are sunk down in the
+pit that they made: in the net which they
+hid is their own foot taken.
+16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is
+snared in the work of his own hands.
+Higgaion. Selah.
+17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
+and all the nations that forget God.
+18 For the needy shall not alway be
+forgotten: the expectation of the poor
+shall not perish for ever.
+19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy
+sight.
+20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the
+nations may know themselves to be but
+men. Selah.
+
+PSALM 9
+To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben,
+A Psalm of David.
+WILL praise thee, O LORD, with my
+
+I
+
+whole heart; I will shew forth all
+thy marvellous works.
+2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I
+will sing praise to thy name, O thou most
+High.
+3 When mine enemies are turned back,
+they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
+4 For thou hast maintained my right
+and my cause; thou satest in the throne
+judging right.
+5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou
+hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put
+out their name for ever and ever.
+6 O thou enemy, destructions are come
+to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished
+with them.
+
+4
+
+PSALMS 10, 11
+mischief and spite, to requite it with thy
+hand: the poor committeth himself unto
+thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
+15 Break thou the arm of the wicked
+and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
+16 The LORD is King for ever and
+ever: the heathen are perished out of his
+land.
+17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire
+of the humble: thou wilt prepare their
+heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
+18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may
+no more oppress.
+
+PSALM 10
+PSALM 10
+HY standest thou afar off, O
+LORD? why hidest thou thyself
+in times of trouble?
+2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the
+devices that they have imagined.
+3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s
+desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom
+the LORD abhorreth.
+4 The wicked, through the pride of his
+countenance, will not seek after God:
+God is not in all his thoughts.
+5 His ways are always grievous; thy
+judgments are far above out of his sight:
+as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
+6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not
+be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
+7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is
+mischief and vanity.
+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.
+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 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong
+ones.
+11 He hath said in his heart, God hath
+forgotten: he hideth his face; he will
+never see it.
+12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine
+hand: forget not the humble.
+13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart,
+Thou wilt not require it.
+14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest
+
+W
+
+PSALM 11
+
+I
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+N the LORD put I my trust: how say
+
+ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your
+mountain?
+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.
+3 If the foundations be destroyed, what
+can the righteous do?
+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.
+5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but
+the wicked and him that loveth violence
+his soul hateth.
+6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares,
+fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their
+cup.
+7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold
+the upright.
+
+5
+
+PSALMS 12–15
+5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my
+heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
+6 I will sing unto the LORD, because
+he hath dealt bountifully with me.
+
+PSALM 12
+PSALM 12
+To the chief Musician upon Sheminith,
+A Psalm of David.
+ELP, LORD; for the godly man
+
+H
+
+PSALM 14
+
+ceaseth; for the faithful fail from
+among the children of men.
+2 They speak vanity every one with his
+neighbour: with flattering lips and with
+a double heart do they speak.
+3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering
+lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud
+things:
+4 Who have said, With our tongue will
+we prevail; our lips are our own: who is
+lord over us?
+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.
+6 The words of the LORD are pure
+words: as silver tried in a furnace of
+earth, purified seven times.
+7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou
+shalt preserve them from this generation
+for ever.
+8 The wicked walk on every side, when
+the vilest men are exalted.
+
+T
+
+HE fool hath said in his heart, There
+is no God. They are corrupt, they
+have done abominable works, there is
+none that doeth good.
+2 The LORD looked down from heaven
+upon the children of men, to see if there
+were any that did understand, and seek
+God.
+3 They are all gone aside, they are all
+together become filthy: there is none that
+doeth good, no, not one.
+4 Have all the workers of iniquity no
+knowledge? who eat up my people as
+they eat bread, and call not upon the
+LORD.
+5 There were they in great fear: for God
+is in the generation of the righteous.
+6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the
+poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
+7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were
+come out of Zion! when the L ORD
+bringeth back the captivity of his people,
+Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be
+glad.
+
+PSALM 13
+
+H
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+OW long wilt thou forget me, O
+LORD? for ever? how long wilt
+thou hide thy face from me?
+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?
+3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my
+God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the
+sleep of death;
+4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that
+trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
+
+PSALM 15
+
+L
+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+ORD, who shall abide in thy
+tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
+holy hill?
+2 He that walketh uprightly, and
+worketh righteousness, and speaketh the
+truth in his heart.
+3 He that backbiteth not with his
+tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
+nor taketh up a reproach against his
+neighbour.
+
+6
+
+PSALMS 16, 17
+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.
+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.
+
+PSALM 17
+PSALM 17
+
+H
+
+unto my cry, give ear unto my
+prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
+2 Let my sentence come forth from thy
+presence; let thine eyes behold the things
+that are equal.
+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.
+4 Concerning the works of men, by the
+word of thy lips I have kept me from the
+paths of the destroyer.
+5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that
+my footsteps slip not.
+6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt
+hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto
+me, and hear my speech.
+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.
+8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide
+me under the shadow of thy wings,
+9 From the wicked that oppress me,
+from my deadly enemies, who compass
+me about.
+10 They are inclosed in their own fat:
+with their mouth they speak proudly.
+11 They have now compassed us in our
+steps: they have set their eyes bowing
+down to the earth;
+12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his
+prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
+13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him,
+cast him down: deliver my soul from the
+wicked, which is thy sword:
+14 From men which are thy hand, O
+
+PSALM 16
+
+P
+
+A Prayer of David.
+EAR the right, O LORD, attend
+
+Michtam of David.
+
+RESERVE me, O God: for in thee
+do I put my trust.
+2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the
+LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness
+extendeth not to thee;
+3 But to the saints that are in the earth,
+and to the excellent, in whom is all my
+delight.
+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.
+5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
+maintainest my lot.
+6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
+7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given
+me counsel: my reins also instruct me
+in the night seasons.
+8 I have set the LORD always before
+me: because he is at my right hand, I
+shall not be moved.
+9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
+glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest
+in hope.
+10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in
+hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy
+One to see corruption.
+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.
+7
+
+PSALM 18
+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.
+15 As for me, I will behold thy face in
+righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when
+I awake, with thy likeness.
+
+10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did
+fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of
+the wind.
+11 He made darkness his secret place;
+his pavilion round about him were dark
+waters and thick clouds of the skies.
+12 At the brightness that was before
+him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
+and coals of fire.
+13 The LORD also thundered in the
+heavens, and the Highest gave his voice;
+hail stones and coals of fire.
+14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and
+scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
+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.
+16 He sent from above, he took me, he
+drew me out of many waters.
+17 He delivered me from my strong
+enemy, and from them which hated me:
+for they were too strong for me.
+18 They prevented me in the day of
+my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
+19 He brought me forth also into a large
+place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
+20 The LORD rewarded me according
+to my righteousness; according to the
+cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
+21 For I have kept the ways of the
+LORD, and have not wickedly departed
+from my God.
+22 For all his judgments were before
+me, and I did not put away his statutes
+from me.
+23 I was also upright before him, and I
+kept myself from mine iniquity.
+24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
+righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
+
+PSALM 18
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm of
+David, the servant of the LORD, who
+spake unto the LORD the words of this
+song in the day that the LORD delivered
+him from the hand of all his enemies,
+and from the hand of Saul:
+And he said,
+WILL love thee, O L ORD , my
+
+I
+
+strength.
+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.
+3 I will call upon the LORD, who is
+worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved
+from mine enemies.
+4 The sorrows of death compassed me,
+and the floods of ungodly men made me
+afraid.
+5 The sorrows of hell compassed me
+about: the snares of death prevented me.
+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.
+7 Then the earth shook and trembled;
+the foundations also of the hills moved
+and were shaken, because he was wroth.
+8 There went up a smoke out of his
+nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
+9 He bowed the heavens also, and
+came down: and darkness was under his
+feet.
+8
+
+PSALM 19
+25 With the merciful thou wilt shew
+thyself merciful; with an upright man
+thou wilt shew thyself upright;
+26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt
+shew thyself froward.
+27 For thou wilt save the afflicted
+people; but wilt bring down high looks.
+28 For thou wilt light my candle: the
+LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
+29 For by thee I have run through a
+troop; and by my God have I leaped over
+a wall.
+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.
+31 For who is God save the LORD? or
+who is a rock save our God?
+32 It is God that girdeth me with
+strength, and maketh my way perfect.
+33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet,
+and setteth me upon my high places.
+34 He teacheth my hands to war, so
+that a bow of steel is broken by mine
+arms.
+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.
+36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under
+me, that my feet did not slip.
+37 I have pursued mine enemies, and
+overtaken them: neither did I turn again
+till they were consumed.
+38 I have wounded them that they were
+not able to rise: they are fallen under
+my feet.
+39 For thou hast girded me with
+strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against
+me.
+40 Thou hast also given me the necks
+of mine enemies; that I might destroy
+them that hate me.
+
+41 They cried, but there was none to
+save them: even unto the LORD, but he
+answered them not.
+42 Then did I beat them small as the
+dust before the wind: I did cast them out
+as the dirt in the streets.
+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.
+44 As soon as they hear of me, they
+shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
+45 The strangers shall fade away, and
+be afraid out of their close places.
+46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be
+my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
+47 It is God that avengeth me, and
+subdueth the people under me.
+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.
+49 Therefore will I give thanks unto
+thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and
+sing praises unto thy name.
+50 Great deliverance giveth he to his
+king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed,
+to David, and to his seed for evermore.
+PSALM 19
+
+T
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+HE heavens declare the glory of
+God; and the firmament sheweth
+his handywork.
+2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and
+night unto night sheweth knowledge.
+3 There is no speech nor language,
+where their voice is not heard.
+4 Their line is gone out through all the
+earth, and their words to the end of the
+
+9
+
+PSALMS 20, 21
+world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
+for the sun,
+5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out
+of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong
+man to run a race.
+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.
+7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the
+LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
+8 The statutes of the LORD are right,
+rejoicing the heart: the commandment
+of the LORD is pure, enlightening the
+eyes.
+9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the
+LORD are true and righteous altogether.
+10 More to be desired are they than
+gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter
+also than honey and the honeycomb.
+11 Moreover by them is thy servant
+warned: and in keeping of them there is
+great reward.
+12 Who can understand his errors?
+cleanse thou me from secret faults.
+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.
+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.
+
+3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
+4 Grant thee according to thine own
+heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
+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.
+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.
+7 Some trust in chariots, and some in
+horses: but we will remember the name
+of the LORD our God.
+8 They are brought down and fallen:
+but we are risen, and stand upright.
+9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us
+when we call.
+PSALM 21
+
+T
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+HE king shall joy in thy strength, O
+LORD; and in thy salvation how
+greatly shall he rejoice!
+2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request
+of his lips. Selah.
+3 For thou preventest him with the
+blessings of goodness: thou settest a
+crown of pure gold on his head.
+4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest
+it him, even length of days for ever and
+ever.
+5 His glory is great in thy salvation:
+honour and majesty hast thou laid upon
+him.
+6 For thou hast made him most blessed
+for ever: thou hast made him exceeding
+glad with thy countenance.
+7 For the king trusteth in the LORD,
+and through the mercy of the most High
+he shall not be moved.
+8 Thine hand shall find out all thine
+
+PSALM 20
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+HE LORD hear thee in the day of

+
+trouble; the name of the God of
+Jacob defend thee;
+2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,
+and strengthen thee out of Zion;
+10
+
+PSALM 22
+enemies: thy right hand shall find out
+those that hate thee.
+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.
+10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from
+the earth, and their seed from among the
+children of men.
+11 For they intended evil against thee:
+they imagined a mischievous device,
+which they are not able to perform.
+12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn
+their back, when thou shalt make ready
+thine arrows upon thy strings against the
+face of them.
+13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine
+own strength: so will we sing and praise
+thy power.
+
+would deliver him: let him deliver him,
+seeing he delighted in him.
+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.
+10 I was cast upon thee from the womb:
+thou art my God from my mother’s
+belly.
+11 Be not far from me; for trouble is
+near; for there is none to help.
+12 Many bulls have compassed me:
+strong bulls of Bashan have beset me
+round.
+13 They gaped upon me with their
+mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
+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.
+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.
+16 For dogs have compassed me: the
+assembly of the wicked have inclosed
+me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
+17 I may tell all my bones: they look
+and stare upon me.
+18 They part my garments among
+them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
+19 But be not thou far from me, O
+LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help
+me.
+20 Deliver my soul from the sword;
+my darling from the power of the dog.
+21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for
+thou hast heard me from the horns of
+the unicorns.
+22 I will declare thy name unto my
+brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
+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.
+
+PSALM 22

+Y God, my God, why hast thou
+forsaken me? why art thou so
+far from helping me, and from the words
+of my roaring?
+2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but
+thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
+3 But thou art holy, O thou that
+inhabitest the praises of Israel.
+4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they
+trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
+5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were
+not confounded.
+6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the
+people.
+7 All they that see me laugh me to
+scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake
+the head, saying,
+8 He trusted on the LORD that he
+11
+
+PSALMS 23–25
+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.
+25 My praise shall be of thee in the
+great congregation: I will pay my vows
+before them that fear him.
+26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied:
+they shall praise the LORD that seek
+him: your heart shall live for ever.
+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.
+28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and
+he is the governor among the nations.
+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.
+30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be
+accounted to the Lord for a generation.
+31 They shall come, and shall declare
+his righteousness unto a people that shall
+be born, that he hath done this.
+
+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.
+PSALM 24
+A Psalm of David.
+HE earth is the LORD’S, and the

+they that dwell therein.
+2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,
+and established it upon the floods.
+3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the
+LORD? or who shall stand in his holy
+place?
+4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure
+heart; who hath not lifted up his soul
+unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
+5 He shall receive the blessing from
+the LORD, and righteousness from the
+God of his salvation.
+6 This is the generation of them that
+seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.
+Selah.
+7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and
+be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and
+the King of glory shall come in.
+8 Who is this King of glory? The
+LORD strong and mighty, the LORD
+mighty in battle.
+9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even
+lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and

+10 Who is this King of glory? The
+LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.

+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+HE LORD is my shepherd; I shall
+not want.
+2 He maketh me to lie down in green
+pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
+waters.
+3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
+in the paths of righteousness for his
+name’s sake.
+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.
+5 Thou preparest a table before me in
+the presence of mine enemies: thou
+anointest my head with oil; my cup
+runneth over.
+
+PSALM 25
+
+U
+
+A Psalm of David.
+NTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up

+2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not
+be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
+12
+
+PSALM 26
+3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be
+ashamed: let them be ashamed which
+transgress without cause.
+4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach
+me thy paths.
+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.
+6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they
+have been ever of old.
+7 Remember not the sins of my youth,
+nor my transgressions: according to thy
+mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
+8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
+9 The meek will he guide in judgment:
+and the meek will he teach his way.
+10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy
+and truth unto such as keep his covenant
+and his testimonies.
+11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
+12 What man is he that feareth the
+LORD? him shall he teach in the way
+that he shall choose.
+13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his
+seed shall inherit the earth.
+14 The secret of the LORD is with them
+that fear him; and he will shew them his
+covenant.
+15 Mine eyes are ever toward the
+LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of
+the net.
+16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy
+upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
+17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my
+distresses.
+18 Look upon mine affliction and my
+pain; and forgive all my sins.
+19 Consider mine enemies; for they are
+
+many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
+20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let
+me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in
+thee.
+21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
+22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all

+PSALM 26

+A Psalm of David.

+2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;
+try my reins and my heart.
+3 For thy lovingkindness is before
+mine eyes: and I have walked in thy
+truth.
+4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
+5 I have hated the congregation of evil
+doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
+6 I will wash mine hands in innocency:
+so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
+7 That I may publish with the voice of
+thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
+8 LORD, I have loved the habitation
+of thy house, and the place where thine
+honour dwelleth.
+9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor
+my life with bloody men:
+10 In whose hands is mischief, and
+their right hand is full of bribes.
+11 But as for me, I will walk in mine

+PSALM 27
+PSALM 27
+

+
+A Psalm of David.
+HE L ORD is my light and my

+LORD is the strength of my life; of
+whom shall I be afraid?
+2 When the wicked, even mine enemies
+and my foes, came upon me to eat up
+my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
+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.
+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.
+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.
+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.
+7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my
+voice: have mercy also upon me, and
+answer me.
+8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
+my heart said unto thee, Thy face,
+LORD, will I seek.
+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.
+10 When my father and my mother
+forsake me, then the LORD will take me
+up.
+11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and
+lead me in a plain path, because of mine
+enemies.
+12 Deliver me not over unto the will

+PSALM 28

+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+NTO thee will I cry, O LORD my

+thou be silent to me, I become like them
+that go down into the pit.
+2 Hear the voice of my supplications,
+when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my
+hands toward thy holy oracle.
+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.
+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.
+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.
+6 Blessed be the LORD, because he
+hath heard the voice of my supplications.
+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

+7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made

+hide thy face, and I was troubled.
+8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto
+the LORD I made supplication.
+9 What profit is there in my blood,
+when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust
+praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
+10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy
+upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
+11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my
+sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

+LORD is upon many waters.
+4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
+the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
+5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the

+6 He maketh them also to skip like a

+7 The voice of the LORD divideth the

+8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the

+
+A Psalm and Song at the dedication

+WILL extol thee, O LORD; for thou
+

+2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee,
+and thou hast healed me.
+3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my
+15
+
+PSALM 32
+5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
+thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God
+of truth.
+6 I have hated them that regard lying
+vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
+7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy
+mercy: for thou hast considered my
+trouble; thou hast known my soul in
+adversities;
+8 And hast not shut me up into the hand
+of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a
+large room.
+9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I
+am in trouble: mine eye is consumed
+with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
+10 For my life is spent with grief, and
+my years with sighing: my strength
+faileth because of mine iniquity, and my
+bones are consumed.
+11 I was a reproach among all mine
+enemies, but especially among my
+neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled
+from me.
+12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of
+mind: I am like a broken vessel.
+13 For I have heard the slander of
+many: fear was on every side: while they
+took counsel together against me, they
+devised to take away my life.
+14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said,
+Thou art my God.
+15 My times are in thy hand: deliver
+me from the hand of mine enemies, and
+from them that persecute me.
+16 Make thy face to shine upon thy
+servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
+17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD;
+for I have called upon thee: let the
+wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
+18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
+which speak grievous things proudly
+and contemptuously against the righteous.
+
+19 Oh how great is thy goodness,
+which thou hast laid up for them that
+fear thee; which thou hast wrought for
+them that trust in thee before the sons
+of men!
+20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret
+of thy presence from the pride of man:
+thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
+21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath
+shewed me his marvellous kindness in
+a strong city.
+22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off
+from before thine eyes: nevertheless
+thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
+23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints:
+for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and
+plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
+24 Be of good courage, and he shall
+strengthen your heart, all ye that hope

+3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed

+4 For day and night thy hand was heavy
+upon me: my moisture is turned into the
+drought of summer. Selah.
+5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and

+will confess my transgressions unto the
+LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity
+of my sin. Selah.

+12 Blessed is the nation whose God is
+the LORD; and the people whom he hath
+chosen for his own inheritance.
+13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he
+beholdeth all the sons of men.
+14 From the place of his habitation he
+looketh upon all the inhabitants of the
+earth.
+15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he
+considereth all their works.
+16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not
+delivered by much strength.
+17 An horse is a vain thing for safety:
+neither shall he deliver any by his great
+strength.
+18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon
+them that fear him, upon them that hope
+in his mercy;
+19 To deliver their soul from death, and
+to keep them alive in famine.
+20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he
+is our help and our shield.
+21 For our heart shall rejoice in him,
+because we have trusted in his holy
+name.
+22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon

+3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
+4 For the word of the LORD is right;

+5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness
+of the LORD.
+6 By the word of the LORD were the
+heavens made; and all the host of them

+drove him away, and he departed.
+WILL bless the LORD at all times:
+
+his praise shall continually be in my
+mouth.
+2 My soul shall make her boast in the
+LORD: the humble shall hear thereof,
+and be glad.
+17
+
+PSALM 35
+3 O magnify the LORD with me, and
+let us exalt his name together.
+4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me,
+and delivered me from all my fears.
+5 They looked unto him, and were
+lightened: and their faces were not
+ashamed.
+6 This poor man cried, and the LORD
+heard him, and saved him out of all his
+troubles.
+7 The angel of the LORD encampeth
+round about them that fear him, and
+delivereth them.
+8 O taste and see that the LORD is
+good: blessed is the man that trusteth in
+him.
+9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for
+there is no want to them that fear him.
+10 The young lions do lack, and suffer
+hunger: but they that seek the LORD
+shall not want any good thing.
+11 Come, ye children, hearken unto
+me: I will teach you the fear of the
+LORD.
+12 What man is he that desireth life,
+and loveth many days, that he may see
+good?
+13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy
+lips from speaking guile.
+14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek
+peace, and pursue it.
+15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the
+righteous, and his ears are open unto
+their cry.
+16 The face of the LORD is against
+them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
+17 The righteous cry, and the LORD
+heareth, and delivereth them out of all
+their troubles.
+18 The LORD is nigh unto them that
+are of a broken heart; and saveth such
+as be of a contrite spirit.
+19 Many are the afflictions of the
+
+righteous: but the LORD delivereth him
+out of them all.
+20 He keepeth all his bones: not one
+of them is broken.
+21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they
+that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
+22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of
+his servants: and none of them that trust
+in him shall be desolate.
+PSALM 35
+
+P
+
+A Psalm of David.
+LEAD my cause, O LORD, with
+
+them that strive with me: fight
+against them that fight against me.
+2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and
+stand up for mine help.
+3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the
+way against them that persecute me: say
+unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
+4 Let them be confounded and put to
+shame that seek after my soul: let them
+be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
+5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:
+and let the angel of the LORD chase
+them.
+6 Let their way be dark and slippery:
+and let the angel of the LORD persecute
+them.
+7 For without cause have they hid for
+me their net in a pit, which without cause
+they have digged for my soul.
+8 Let destruction come upon him at
+unawares; and let his net that he hath
+hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
+9 And my soul shall be joyful in the
+LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
+10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who
+is like unto thee, which deliverest the
+poor from him that is too strong for him,
+yea, the poor and the needy from him
+that spoileth him?
+18
+
+PSALM 36
+11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid
+to my charge things that I knew not.
+12 They rewarded me evil for good to
+the spoiling of my soul.
+13 But as for me, when they were sick,
+my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled
+my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
+14 I behaved myself as though he had
+been my friend or brother: I bowed
+down heavily, as one that mourneth for
+his mother.
+15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
+and gathered themselves together: yea,
+the abjects gathered themselves together
+against me, and I knew it not; they did
+tear me, and ceased not:
+16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
+they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
+17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
+rescue my soul from their destructions,
+my darling from the lions.
+18 I will give thee thanks in the great
+congregation: I will praise thee among
+much people.
+19 Let not them that are mine enemies
+wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let
+them wink with the eye that hate me
+without a cause.
+20 For they speak not peace: but they
+devise deceitful matters against them
+that are quiet in the land.
+21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide
+against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye
+hath seen it.
+22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep
+not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
+23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my
+judgment, even unto my cause, my God
+and my Lord.
+24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let
+them not rejoice over me.
+25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah,
+
+so would we have it: let them not say,
+We have swallowed him up.
+26 Let them be ashamed and brought
+to confusion together that rejoice at mine
+hurt: let them be clothed with shame and
+dishonour that magnify themselves
+against me.
+27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
+that favour my righteous cause: yea, let
+them say continually, Let the LORD be
+magnified, which hath pleasure in the
+prosperity of his servant.
+28 And my tongue shall speak of thy
+righteousness and of thy praise all the
+day long.
+PSALM 36
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David
+the servant of the LORD.
+
+T
+
+HE transgression of the wicked saith
+within my heart, that there is no
+fear of God before his eyes.
+2 For he flattereth himself in his own
+eyes, until his iniquity be found to be
+hateful.
+3 The words of his mouth are iniquity
+and deceit: he hath left off to be wise,
+and to do good.
+4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed;
+he setteth himself in a way that is not
+good; he abhorreth not evil.
+5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto
+the clouds.
+6 Thy righteousness is like the great
+mountains; thy judgments are a great
+deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and
+beast.
+7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness,
+O God! therefore the children of men
+put their trust under the shadow of thy
+wings.
+8 They shall be abundantly satisfied
+with the fatness of thy house; and thou
+19
+
+PSALM 37
+shalt make them drink of the river of
+thy pleasures.
+9 For with thee is the fountain of life:
+in thy light shall we see light.
+10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto
+them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
+11 Let not the foot of pride come
+against me, and let not the hand of the
+wicked remove me.
+12 There are the workers of iniquity
+fallen: they are cast down, and shall not
+be able to rise.
+
+shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently
+consider his place, and it shall not be.
+11 But the meek shall inherit the earth;
+and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
+12 The wicked plotteth against the just,
+and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
+13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he
+seeth that his day is coming.
+14 The wicked have drawn out the
+sword, and have bent their bow, to cast
+down the poor and needy, and to slay
+such as be of upright conversation.
+15 Their sword shall enter into their
+own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
+16 A little that a righteous man hath is
+better than the riches of many wicked.
+17 For the arms of the wicked shall be
+broken: but the LORD upholdeth the
+righteous.
+18 The LORD knoweth the days of the
+upright: and their inheritance shall be
+for ever.
+19 They shall not be ashamed in the
+evil time: and in the days of famine they
+shall be satisfied.
+20 But the wicked shall perish, and the
+enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat
+of lambs: they shall consume; into
+smoke shall they consume away.
+21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth
+not again: but the righteous sheweth
+mercy, and giveth.
+22 For such as be blessed of him shall
+inherit the earth; and they that be cursed
+of him shall be cut off.
+23 The steps of a good man are ordered
+by the LORD: and he delighteth in his
+way.
+24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth
+him with his hand.
+25 I have been young, and now am old;
+
+PSALM 37
+
+F
+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+RET not thyself because of
+evildoers, neither be thou envious
+against the workers of iniquity.
+2 For they shall soon be cut down like
+the grass, and wither as the green herb.
+3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so
+shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily
+thou shalt be fed.
+4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and
+he shall give thee the desires of thine
+heart.
+5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
+trust also in him; and he shall bring it to
+pass.
+6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment
+as the noonday.
+7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently
+for him: fret not thyself because of him
+who prospereth in his way, because of
+the man who bringeth wicked devices
+to pass.
+8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
+fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
+9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but
+those that wait upon the LORD, they
+shall inherit the earth.
+10 For yet a little while, and the wicked
+20
+
+PSALM 38
+yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
+26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
+and his seed is blessed.
+27 Depart from evil, and do good; and
+dwell for evermore.
+28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and
+forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the
+wicked shall be cut off.
+29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
+and dwell therein for ever.
+30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh
+wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
+31 The law of his God is in his heart;
+none of his steps shall slide.
+32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,
+and seeketh to slay him.
+33 The LORD will not leave him in his
+hand, nor condemn him when he is
+judged.
+34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his
+way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit
+the land: when the wicked are cut off,
+thou shalt see it.
+35 I have seen the wicked in great
+power, and spreading himself like a
+green bay tree.
+36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was
+not: yea, I sought him, but he could not
+be found.
+37 Mark the perfect man, and behold
+the upright: for the end of that man is
+peace.
+38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked
+shall be cut off.
+39 But the salvation of the righteous is
+of the LORD: he is their strength in the
+time of trouble.
+40 And the LORD shall help them, and
+deliver them: he shall deliver them from
+the wicked, and save them, because they
+trust in him.
+
+PSALM 38
+PSALM 38
+
+O
+
+A Psalm of David, to bring
+to remembrance.
+
+LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath:
+neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
+2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and
+thy hand presseth me sore.
+3 There is no soundness in my flesh
+because of thine anger; neither is there
+any rest in my bones because of my sin.
+4 For mine iniquities are gone over
+mine head: as an heavy burden they are
+too heavy for me.
+5 My wounds stink and are corrupt
+because of my foolishness.
+6 I am troubled; I am bowed down
+greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
+7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness
+in my flesh.
+8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have
+roared by reason of the disquietness of
+my heart.
+9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;
+and my groaning is not hid from thee.
+10 My heart panteth, my strength
+faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes,
+it also is gone from me.
+11 My lovers and my friends stand
+aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen
+stand afar off.
+12 They also that seek after my life lay
+snares for me: and they that seek my hurt
+speak mischievous things, and imagine
+deceits all the day long.
+13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and
+I was as a dumb man that openeth not
+his mouth.
+14 Thus I was as a man that heareth
+not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
+15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope:
+thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
+16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise
+21
+
+PSALMS 39, 40
+they should rejoice over me: when my
+foot slippeth, they magnify themselves
+against me.
+17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
+18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I
+will be sorry for my sin.
+19 But mine enemies are lively, and
+they are strong: and they that hate me
+wrongfully are multiplied.
+20 They also that render evil for good
+are mine adversaries; because I follow
+the thing that good is.
+21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my
+God, be not far from me.
+22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my
+salvation.
+
+transgressions: make me not the
+reproach of the foolish.
+9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
+because thou didst it.
+10 Remove thy stroke away from me:
+I am consumed by the blow of thine
+hand.
+11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his
+beauty to consume away like a moth:
+surely every man is vanity. Selah.
+12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give
+ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at
+my tears: for I am a stranger with thee,
+and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
+13 O spare me, that I may recover
+strength, before I go hence, and be no
+more.
+
+PSALM 39
+
+PSALM 40
+
+To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+I
+
+SAID, I will take heed to my ways,
+that I sin not with my tongue: I will
+keep my mouth with a bridle, while the
+wicked is before me.
+2 I was dumb with silence, I held my
+peace, even from good; and my sorrow
+was stirred.
+3 My heart was hot within me, while I
+was musing the fire burned: then spake
+I with my tongue,
+4 LORD, make me to know mine end,
+and the measure of my days, what it is:
+that I may know how frail I am.
+5 Behold, thou hast made my days as
+an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his
+best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
+6 Surely every man walketh in a vain
+shew: surely they are disquieted in vain:
+he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not
+who shall gather them.
+7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my
+hope is in thee.
+8 Deliver me from all my
+
+I
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+WAITED patiently for the LORD;
+and he inclined unto me, and heard
+my cry.
+2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set
+my feet upon a rock, and established my
+goings.
+3 And he hath put a new song in my
+mouth, even praise unto our God: many
+shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in
+the LORD.
+4 Blessed is that man that maketh the
+LORD his trust, and respecteth not the
+proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
+5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy
+wonderful works which thou hast done,
+and thy thoughts which are to us–ward:
+they cannot be reckoned up in order unto
+thee: if I would declare and speak of
+them, they are more than can be numbered.
+6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not
+desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt
+22
+
+PSALM 41
+offering and sin offering hast thou not
+required.
+7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
+8 I delight to do thy will, O my God:
+yea, thy law is within my heart.
+9 I have preached righteousness in the
+great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
+10 I have not hid thy righteousness
+within my heart; I have declared thy
+faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
+concealed thy lovingkindness and thy
+truth from the great congregation.
+11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O L ORD : let thy
+lovingkindness and thy truth continually
+preserve me.
+12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have
+taken hold upon me, so that I am not
+able to look up; they are more than the
+hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
+faileth me.
+13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me:
+O LORD, make haste to help me.
+14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul
+to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
+15 Let them be desolate for a reward
+of their shame that say unto me, Aha,
+aha.
+16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice
+and be glad in thee: let such as love thy
+salvation say continually, The LORD be
+magnified.
+17 But I am poor and needy; yet the
+Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help
+and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O
+my God.
+
+PSALM 41
+PSALM 41
+
+B
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+LESSED is he that considereth the
+poor: the LORD will deliver him
+in time of trouble.
+2 The LORD will preserve him, and
+keep him alive; and he shall be blessed
+upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver
+him unto the will of his enemies.
+3 The LORD will strengthen him upon
+the bed of languishing: thou wilt make
+all his bed in his sickness.
+4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:
+heal my soul; for I have sinned against
+thee.
+5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When
+shall he die, and his name perish?
+6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh
+vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
+7 All that hate me whisper together
+against me: against me do they devise
+my hurt.
+8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast
+unto him: and now that he lieth he shall
+rise up no more.
+9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in
+whom I trusted, which did eat of my
+bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
+10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto
+me, and raise me up, that I may requite
+them.
+11 By this I know that thou favourest
+me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
+12 And as for me, thou upholdest me
+in mine integrity, and settest me before
+thy face for ever.
+
+23
+
+PSALMS 42–44
+13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
+from everlasting, and to everlasting.
+Amen, and Amen.

+him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

+PSALM 42

+A
+
+PSALM 43
+UDGE me, O God, and plead my
+cause against an ungodly nation: O
+deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
+2 For thou art the God of my strength:
+why dost thou cast me off? why go I
+mourning because of the oppression of
+the enemy?
+3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let
+them lead me; let them bring me unto
+thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
+4 Then will I go unto the altar of God,
+unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon
+the harp will I praise thee, O God my
+God.
+5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
+and why art thou disquieted within me?
+hope in God: for I shall yet praise him,
+who is the health of my countenance,
+and my God.
+
+To the chief Musician, Maschil,
+for the sons of Korah.
+
+J
+
+S the hart panteth after the water
+brooks, so panteth my soul after
+thee, O God.
+2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear
+before God?
+3 My tears have been my meat day and
+night, while they continually say unto
+me, Where is thy God?
+4 When I remember these things, I pour
+out my soul in me: for I had gone with
+the multitude, I went with them to the
+house of God, with the voice of joy and
+praise, with a multitude that kept
+holyday.
+5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
+and why art thou disquieted in me? hope
+thou in God: for I shall yet praise him
+for the help of his countenance.
+6 O my God, my soul is cast down
+within me: therefore will I remember
+thee from the land of Jordan, and of the
+Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
+7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise
+of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and
+thy billows are gone over me.
+8 Yet the LORD will command his
+lovingkindness in the day time, and in
+the night his song shall be with me, and
+my prayer unto the God of my life.
+9 I will say unto God my rock, Why
+hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the
+enemy?
+10 As with a sword in my bones, mine
+enemies reproach me; while they say
+daily unto me, Where is thy God?
+11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
+
+PSALM 44
+To the chief Musician for the sons of
+Korah, Maschil.
+
+W
+
+E have heard with our ears, O
+God, our fathers have told us,
+what work thou didst in their days, in
+the times of old.
+2 How thou didst drive out the heathen
+with thy hand, and plantedst them; how
+thou didst afflict the people, and cast
+them out.
+3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did
+their own arm save them: but thy right
+hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy
+countenance, because thou hadst a
+favour unto them.
+24
+
+PSALM 45
+4 Thou art my King, O God: command
+deliverances for Jacob.
+5 Through thee will we push down our
+enemies: through thy name will we tread
+them under that rise up against us.
+6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
+7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that
+hated us.
+8 In God we boast all the day long, and
+praise thy name for ever. Selah.
+9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to
+shame; and goest not forth with our
+armies.
+10 Thou makest us to turn back from
+the enemy: and they which hate us spoil
+for themselves.
+11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us
+among the heathen.
+12 Thou sellest thy people for nought,
+and dost not increase thy wealth by their
+price.
+13 Thou makest us a reproach to our
+neighbours, a scorn and a derision to
+them that are round about us.
+14 Thou makest us a byword among
+the heathen, a shaking of the head
+among the people.
+15 My confusion is continually before
+me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
+16 For the voice of him that
+reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
+17 All this is come upon us; yet have
+we not forgotten thee, neither have we
+dealt falsely in thy covenant.
+18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy
+way;
+19 Though thou hast sore broken us in
+the place of dragons, and covered us
+with the shadow of death.
+
+20 If we have forgotten the name of
+our God, or stretched out our hands to a
+strange god;
+21 Shall not God search this out? for
+he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
+22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all
+the day long; we are counted as sheep
+for the slaughter.
+23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
+arise, cast us not off for ever.
+24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and
+forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
+25 For our soul is bowed down to the
+dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
+26 Arise for our help, and redeem us
+for thy mercies’ sake.
+PSALM 45
+To the chief Musician upon
+Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah,
+Maschil, A Song of loves.
+
+M
+
+Y heart is inditing a good matter:
+I speak of the things which I
+have made touching the king: my tongue
+is the pen of a ready writer.
+2 Thou art fairer than the children of
+men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
+3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O
+most mighty, with thy glory and thy
+majesty.
+4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously
+because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
+thee terrible things.
+5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart
+of the king’s enemies; whereby the
+people fall under thee.
+6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
+ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a
+right sceptre.
+7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest
+wickedness: therefore God, thy God,
+25
+
+PSALMS 46, 47
+hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
+8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and
+aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
+9 Kings’ daughters were among thy
+honourable women: upon thy right hand
+did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
+10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider,
+and incline thine ear; forget also thine
+own people, and thy father’s house;
+11 So shall the king greatly desire thy
+beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship
+thou him.
+12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be
+there with a gift; even the rich among
+the people shall intreat thy favour.
+13 The king’s daughter is all glorious
+within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
+14 She shall be brought unto the king
+in raiment of needlework: the virgins her
+companions that follow her shall be
+brought unto thee.
+15 With gladness and rejoicing shall
+they be brought: they shall enter into the
+king’s palace.
+16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy

+4 There is a river, the streams whereof
+shall make glad the city of God, the holy
+place of the tabernacles of the most
+High.
+5 God is in the midst of her; she shall
+not be moved: God shall help her, and
+that right early.
+6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms
+were moved: he uttered his voice, the
+earth melted.
+7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the
+God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
+8 Come, behold the works of the
+LORD, what desolations he hath made
+in the earth.
+9 He maketh wars to cease unto the
+end of the earth; he breaketh the bow,
+and cutteth the spear in sunder; he
+burneth the chariot in the fire.
+10 Be still, and know that I am God: I
+will be exalted among the heathen, I will
+be exalted in the earth.
+11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the

+CLAP your hands, all ye people;

+2 For the LORD most high is terrible;
+he is a great King over all the earth.
+3 He shall subdue the people under us,
+and the nations under our feet.
+4 He shall choose our inheritance for
+us, the excellency of Jacob whom he
+loved. Selah.
+5 God is gone up with a shout, the
+LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
+6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing
+praises unto our King, sing praises.
+7 For God is the King of all the earth:
+sing ye praises with understanding.

+2 Therefore will not we fear, though

+
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm
+for the sons of Korah.
+
+EAR this, all ye people; give ear,
+all ye inhabitants of the world:
+2 Both low and high, rich and poor,
+together.
+3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
+and the meditation of my heart shall be
+of understanding.
+4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I
+will open my dark saying upon the harp.
+5 Wherefore should I fear in the days
+of evil, when the iniquity of my heels
+shall compass me about?
+6 They that trust in their wealth, and
+boast themselves in the multitude of
+their riches;
+7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a
+ransom for him:
+8 (For the redemption of their soul is
+precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
+9 That he should still live for ever, and
+not see corruption.
+10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person
+perish, and leave their wealth to others.
+11 Their inward thought is, that their
+houses shall continue for ever, and their
+dwelling places to all generations; they
+call their lands after their own names.
+12 Nevertheless man being in honour
+abideth not: he is like the beasts that
+perish.
+13 This their way is their folly: yet their
+posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
+14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
+death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in

+REAT is the LORD, and greatly to

+
+be praised in the city of our God,
+in the mountain of his holiness.
+2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the
+whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides
+of the north, the city of the great King.
+3 God is known in her palaces for a
+refuge.
+4 For, lo, the kings were assembled,
+they passed by together.
+5 They saw it, and so they marvelled;
+they were troubled, and hasted away.
+6 Fear took hold upon them there, and
+pain, as of a woman in travail.
+7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish
+with an east wind.
+8 As we have heard, so have we seen
+in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the
+city of our God: God will establish it
+for ever. Selah.
+9 We have thought of thy
+lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
+thy temple.
+10 According to thy name, O God, so
+is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
+thy right hand is full of righteousness.
+11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the
+daughters of Judah be glad, because of
+thy judgments.
+12 Walk about Zion, and go round
+about her: tell the towers thereof.
+13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to
+the generation following.

+PSALM 50
+15 But God will redeem my soul from

+16 Be not thou afraid when one is made
+rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
+17 For when he dieth he shall carry
+nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
+18 Though while he lived he blessed
+his soul: and men will praise thee, when
+thou doest well to thyself.

+fathers; they shall never see light.

+continually before me.
+9 I will take no bullock out of thy
+house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
+10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
+and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
+11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field
+are mine.
+12 If I were hungry, I would not tell
+thee: for the world is mine, and the
+fulness thereof.
+13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink
+the blood of goats?
+14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and
+pay thy vows unto the most High:
+15 And call upon me in the day of
+trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt
+glorify me.
+16 But unto the wicked God saith,
+What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my
+covenant in thy mouth?
+17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and
+casteth my words behind thee.
+18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou
+consentedst with him, and hast been
+partaker with adulterers.
+19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and
+thy tongue frameth deceit.
+20 Thou sittest and speakest against
+thy brother; thou slanderest thine own
+mother’s son.
+21 These things hast thou done, and I
+kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was
+altogether such an one as thyself: but I
+will reprove thee, and set them in order
+before thine eyes.
+22 Now consider this, ye that forget
+God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there
+be none to deliver.

+HE mighty God, even the LORD,
+hath spoken, and called the earth
+from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
+2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
+God hath shined.

+4 He shall call to the heavens from
+above, and to the earth, that he may
+judge his people.
+5 Gather my saints together unto me;

+me by sacrifice.
+6 And the heavens shall declare his
+righteousness: for God is judge himself.

+O Israel, and I will testify against thee:
+I am God, even thy God.

+God.
+
+14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O
+God, thou God of my salvation: and my
+tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
+15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my
+mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
+16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else
+would I give it: thou delightest not in
+burnt offering.
+17 The sacrifices of God are a broken
+spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O
+God, thou wilt not despise.
+18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto
+Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
+19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the
+sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt
+offering and whole burnt offering: then
+shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

+PSALM 51
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm of

+
+H
+
+AVE mercy upon me, O God,
+according to thy lovingkindness:
+according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
+2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
+3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
+4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
+and done this evil in thy sight: that thou
+mightest be justified when thou
+speakest, and be clear when thou
+judgest.
+5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and
+in sin did my mother conceive me.
+6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou
+shalt make me to know wisdom.
+7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
+clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter
+than snow.
+8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
+that the bones which thou hast broken
+may rejoice.
+9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot
+out all mine iniquities.
+10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
+and renew a right spirit within me.
+11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from
+me.
+12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free
+spirit.
+13 Then will I teach transgressors thy
+ways; and sinners shall be converted
+unto thee.

+PSALM 52
+To the chief Musician, Maschil, A

+Edomite came and told Saul, and said
+unto him, David is come to the house
+of Ahimelech.
+
+W
+
+HY boastest thou thyself in
+mischief, O mighty man? the
+goodness of God endureth continually.
+2 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like
+a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
+3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and
+lying rather than to speak righteousness.
+Selah.
+4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O
+thou deceitful tongue.
+5 God shall likewise destroy thee for
+ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck
+thee out of thy dwelling place, and root
+thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
+6 The righteous also shall see, and fear,
+and shall laugh at him:
+7 Lo, this is the man that made not God
+his strength; but trusted in the abundance
+
+29
+
+PSALMS 53–55
+of his riches, and strengthened himself
+in his wickedness.
+8 But I am like a green olive tree in the
+house of God: I trust in the mercy of
+God for ever and ever.
+9 I will praise thee for ever, because
+thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy
+name; for it is good before thy saints.
+
+2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to
+the words of my mouth.
+3 For strangers are risen up against me,
+and oppressors seek after my soul: they
+have not set God before them. Selah.
+4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord
+is with them that uphold my soul.
+5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
+6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will
+praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
+7 For he hath delivered me out of all
+trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
+
+PSALM 53
+To the chief Musician upon Mahalath,
+Maschil, A Psalm of David.
+
+T
+
+HE fool hath said in his heart, There
+is no God. Corrupt are they, and
+have done abominable iniquity: there is
+none that doeth good.
+2 God looked down from heaven upon
+the children of men, to see if there were
+any that did understand, that did seek
+God.
+3 Every one of them is gone back: they
+are altogether become filthy; there is
+none that doeth good, no, not one.
+4 Have the workers of iniquity no
+knowledge? who eat up my people as
+they eat bread: they have not called upon
+God.
+5 There were they in great fear, where
+no fear was: for God hath scattered the
+bones of him that encampeth against
+thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
+6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were
+come out of Zion! When God bringeth
+back the captivity of his people, Jacob
+shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

+PSALM 55

+
+G
+
+IVE ear to my prayer, O God; and
+hide not thyself from my supplication.
+2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I
+mourn in my complaint, and make a
+noise;
+3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
+because of the oppression of the wicked:
+for they cast iniquity upon me, and in
+wrath they hate me.
+4 My heart is sore pained within me:
+and the terrors of death are fallen upon
+me.
+5 Fearfulness and trembling are come
+upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed
+me.
+6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like
+a dove! for then would I fly away, and
+be at rest.
+7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and
+remain in the wilderness. Selah.
+8 I would hasten my escape from the
+windy storm and tempest.
+9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their
+tongues: for I have seen violence and
+strife in the city.
+
+PSALM 54
+To the chief Musician on Neginoth,

+
+PSALM 56
+10 Day and night they go about it upon
+the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
+11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
+deceit and guile depart not from her
+streets.
+12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne
+it: neither was it he that hated me that
+did magnify himself against me; then I
+would have hid myself from him:
+13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,
+my guide, and mine acquaintance.
+14 We took sweet counsel together,
+and walked unto the house of God in
+company.
+15 Let death seize upon them, and let
+them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among
+them.
+16 As for me, I will call upon God;
+and the LORD shall save me.
+17 Evening, and morning, and at noon,
+will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall
+hear my voice.
+18 He hath delivered my soul in peace
+from the battle that was against me: for
+there were many with me.
+19 God shall hear, and afflict them,
+even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore
+they fear not God.
+20 He hath put forth his hands against
+such as be at peace with him: he hath
+broken his covenant.
+21 The words of his mouth were
+smoother than butter, but war was in his
+heart: his words were softer than oil, yet
+were they drawn swords.
+22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD,
+and he shall sustain thee: he shall never
+suffer the righteous to be moved.
+23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them
+
+down into the pit of destruction: bloody
+and deceitful men shall not live out half
+their days; but I will trust in thee.

+E merciful unto me, O God: for
+man would swallow me up; he
+fighting daily oppresseth me.
+2 Mine enemies would daily swallow
+me up: for they be many that fight
+against me, O thou most High.
+3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in
+thee.
+4 In God I will praise his word, in God
+I have put my trust; I will not fear what
+flesh can do unto me.
+5 Every day they wrest my words: all
+their thoughts are against me for evil.
+6 They gather themselves together,
+they hide themselves, they mark my
+steps, when they wait for my soul.
+7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in
+thine anger cast down the people, O
+God.
+8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou
+my tears into thy bottle: are they not in
+thy book?
+9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine
+enemies turn back: this I know; for God
+is for me.
+10 In God will I praise his word: in the
+LORD will I praise his word.
+11 In God have I put my trust: I will
+not be afraid what man can do unto me.
+12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I
+will render praises unto thee.
+13 For thou hast delivered my soul
+from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet
+from falling, that I may walk before God
+in the light of the living?

+Michtam of David.
+
+D
+
+O ye indeed speak righteousness,
+O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
+2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness;
+ye weigh the violence of your hands in
+the earth.
+3 The wicked are estranged from the
+womb: they go astray as soon as they
+be born, speaking lies.
+4 Their poison is like the poison of a
+serpent: they are like the deaf adder that
+stoppeth her ear;
+5 Which will not hearken to the voice
+of charmers, charming never so wisely.
+6 Break their teeth, O God, in their
+mouth: break out the great teeth of the
+young lions, O LORD.
+7 Let them melt away as waters which
+run continually: when he bendeth his
+bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as
+cut in pieces.
+8 As a snail which melteth, let every
+one of them pass away: like the untimely
+birth of a woman, that they may not see
+the sun.
+9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
+he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
+10 The righteous shall rejoice when he
+seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his
+feet in the blood of the wicked.
+11 So that a man shall say, Verily there
+is a reward for the righteous: verily he
+is a God that judgeth in the earth.
+
+B
+
+E merciful unto me, O God, be
+merciful unto me: for my soul
+trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of
+thy wings will I make my refuge, until
+these calamities be overpast.
+2 I will cry unto God most high; unto
+God that performeth all things for me.
+3 He shall send from heaven, and save
+me from the reproach of him that would
+swallow me up. Selah. God shall send
+forth his mercy and his truth.
+4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even
+among them that are set on fire, even
+the sons of men, whose teeth are spears
+and arrows, and their tongue a sharp
+sword.
+5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the
+heavens; let thy glory be above all the
+earth.
+6 They have prepared a net for my
+steps; my soul is bowed down: they have
+digged a pit before me, into the midst
+whereof they are fallen themselves.
+Selah.
+7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart
+is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
+8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
+9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the
+people: I will sing unto thee among the
+nations.
+10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

+16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I

+7 Behold, they belch out with their
+mouth: swords are in their lips: for who,

+8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at

+
+O

+displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
+2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble;

+is the help of man.

+3 How long will ye imagine mischief

+7 He shall abide before God for ever:
+O prepare mercy and truth, which may
+preserve him.
+8 So will I sing praise unto thy name
+for ever, that I may daily perform my
+vows.
+
+PSALM 63
+
+O
+
+A Psalm of David, when he was
+in the wilderness of Judah.
+
+GOD, thou art my God; early will
+I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for
+thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry
+and thirsty land, where no water is;
+2 To see thy power and thy glory, so
+as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
+
+PSALM 62
+To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+T
+
+RULY my soul waiteth upon God:
+from him cometh my salvation.
+2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
+34
+
+PSALMS 64, 65
+3 Because thy lovingkindness is better
+than life, my lips shall praise thee.
+4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I
+will lift up my hands in thy name.
+5 My soul shall be satisfied as with
+marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall
+praise thee with joyful lips:
+6 When I remember thee upon my bed,
+and meditate on thee in the night
+watches.
+7 Because thou hast been my help,
+therefore in the shadow of thy wings will
+I rejoice.
+8 My soul followeth hard after thee:
+thy right hand upholdeth me.
+9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of
+the earth.
+10 They shall fall by the sword: they
+shall be a portion for foxes.
+11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
+every one that sweareth by him shall
+glory: but the mouth of them that speak
+lies shall be stopped.
+
+inward thought of every one of them,
+and the heart, is deep.
+7 But God shall shoot at them with an
+arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
+8 So they shall make their own tongue
+to fall upon themselves: all that see them
+shall flee away.
+9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall
+wisely consider of his doing.
+10 The righteous shall be glad in the
+LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the
+upright in heart shall glory.
+PSALM 65
+
+P
+
+RAISE waiteth for thee, O God, in
+Sion: and unto thee shall the vow
+be performed.
+2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee
+shall all flesh come.
+3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for
+our transgressions, thou shalt purge
+them away.
+4 Blessed is the man whom thou
+choosest, and causest to approach unto
+thee, that he may dwell in thy courts:
+we shall be satisfied with the goodness
+of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
+5 By terrible things in righteousness
+wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the
+ends of the earth, and of them that are
+afar off upon the sea:
+6 Which by his strength setteth fast the
+mountains; being girded with power:
+7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
+the noise of their waves, and the tumult
+of the people.
+8 They also that dwell in the uttermost
+parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou
+makest the outgoings of the morning and
+evening to rejoice.
+9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest
+
+PSALM 64
+
+H
+
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm
+and Song of David.
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+EAR my voice, O God, in my
+prayer: preserve my life from fear
+of the enemy.
+2 Hide me from the secret counsel of
+the wicked; from the insurrection of the
+workers of iniquity:
+3 Who whet their tongue like a sword,
+and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
+4 That they may shoot in secret at the
+perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him,
+and fear not.
+5 They encourage themselves in an evil
+matter: they commune of laying snares
+privily; they say, Who shall see them?
+6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the
+35
+
+PSALMS 66, 67
+it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river
+of God, which is full of water: thou
+preparest them corn, when thou hast so
+provided for it.
+10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof
+abundantly: thou settlest the furrows
+thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
+11 Thou crownest the year with thy
+goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
+12 They drop upon the pastures of the
+wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on
+every side.
+13 The pastures are clothed with
+flocks; the valleys also are covered over
+with corn; they shout for joy, they also
+sing.
+
+10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:
+thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
+11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou
+laidst affliction upon our loins.
+12 Thou hast caused men to ride over
+our heads; we went through fire and
+through water: but thou broughtest us
+out into a wealthy place.
+13 I will go into thy house with burnt
+offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
+14 Which my lips have uttered, and my
+mouth hath spoken, when I was in
+trouble.
+15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of
+rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.
+Selah.
+16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God,
+and I will declare what he hath done for
+my soul.
+17 I cried unto him with my mouth,
+and he was extolled with my tongue.
+18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the
+Lord will not hear me:
+19 But verily God hath heard me; he
+hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
+20 Blessed be God, which hath not
+turned away my prayer, nor his mercy
+from me.
+
+PSALM 66
+
+M
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Song or Psalm.
+
+AKE a joyful noise unto God, all
+ye lands:
+2 Sing forth the honour of his name:
+make his praise glorious.
+3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou
+in thy works! through the greatness of
+thy power shall thine enemies submit
+themselves unto thee.
+4 All the earth shall worship thee, and
+shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to
+thy name. Selah.
+5 Come and see the works of God: he
+is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
+6 He turned the sea into dry land: they
+went through the flood on foot: there did
+we rejoice in him.
+7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his
+eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
+8 O bless our God, ye people, and make
+the voice of his praise to be heard:
+9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and
+suffereth not our feet to be moved.
+
+PSALM 67
+To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
+A Psalm or Song.
+
+G
+
+OD be merciful unto us, and bless
+us; and cause his face to shine
+upon us; Selah.
+2 That thy way may be known upon
+earth, thy saving health among all nations.
+3 Let the people praise thee, O God;
+let all the people praise thee.
+4 O let the nations be glad and sing for
+joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
+earth. Selah.
+36
+
+PSALM 68
+5 Let the people praise thee, O God;
+let all the people praise thee.
+6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God,
+shall bless us.
+7 God shall bless us; and all the ends
+of the earth shall fear him.
+
+11 The Lord gave the word: great was
+the company of those that published it.
+12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and
+she that tarried at home divided the
+spoil.
+13 Though ye have lien among the
+pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a
+dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
+14 When the Almighty scattered kings
+in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
+15 The hill of God is as the hill of
+Bashan; an high hill as the hill of
+Bashan.
+16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is
+the hill which God desireth to dwell in;
+yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
+17 The chariots of God are twenty
+thousand, even thousands of angels: the
+Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the
+holy place.
+18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou
+hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the
+rebellious also, that the L ORD God
+might dwell among them.
+19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily
+loadeth us with benefits, even the God
+of our salvation. Selah.
+20 He that is our God is the God of
+salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
+21 But God shall wound the head of
+his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such
+an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
+22 The Lord said, I will bring again
+from Bashan, I will bring my people
+again from the depths of the sea:
+23 That thy foot may be dipped in the
+blood of thine enemies, and the tongue
+of thy dogs in the same.
+24 They have seen thy goings, O God;
+even the goings of my God, my King,
+in the sanctuary.
+25 The singers went before, the play-
+
+PSALM 68
+
+L
+
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm
+or Song of David.
+
+ET God arise, let his enemies be
+scattered: let them also that hate
+him flee before him.
+2 As smoke is driven away, so drive
+them away: as wax melteth before the
+fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
+3 But let the righteous be glad; let them
+rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
+4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his
+name: extol him that rideth upon the
+heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice
+before him.
+5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge
+of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
+6 God setteth the solitary in families:
+he bringeth out those which are bound
+with chains: but the rebellious dwell in
+a dry land.
+7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march
+through the wilderness; Selah:
+8 The earth shook, the heavens also
+dropped at the presence of God: even
+Sinai itself was moved at the presence
+of God, the God of Israel.
+9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful
+rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine
+inheritance, when it was weary.
+10 Thy congregation hath dwelt
+therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of
+thy goodness for the poor.
+37
+
+PSALM 69
+ers on instruments followed after; among
+them were the damsels playing with
+timbrels.
+26 Bless ye God in the congregations,
+even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
+27 There is little Benjamin with their
+ruler, the princes of Judah and their
+council, the princes of Zebulun, and the
+princes of Naphtali.
+28 Thy God hath commanded thy
+strength: strengthen, O God, that which
+thou hast wrought for us.
+29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem
+shall kings bring presents unto thee.
+30 Rebuke the company of spearmen,
+the multitude of the bulls, with the calves
+of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou
+the people that delight in war.
+31 Princes shall come out of Egypt;
+Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands
+unto God.
+32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the
+earth; O sing praises unto the Lord;
+Selah:
+33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo,
+he doth send out his voice, and that a
+mighty voice.
+34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his
+excellency is over Israel, and his
+strength is in the clouds.
+35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy
+holy places: the God of Israel is he that
+giveth strength and power unto his
+people. Blessed be God.
+
+standing: I am come into deep waters,
+where the floods overflow me.
+3 I am weary of my crying: my throat
+is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for
+my God.
+4 They that hate me without a cause
+are more than the hairs of mine head:
+they that would destroy me, being mine
+enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I
+restored that which I took not away.
+5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness;
+and my sins are not hid from thee.
+6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord
+GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake:
+let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
+7 Because for thy sake I have borne
+reproach; shame hath covered my face.
+8 I am become a stranger unto my
+brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s
+children.
+9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten
+me up; and the reproaches of them that
+reproached thee are fallen upon me.
+10 When I wept, and chastened my
+soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
+11 I made sackcloth also my garment;
+and I became a proverb to them.
+12 They that sit in the gate speak
+against me; and I was the song of the
+drunkards.
+13 But as for me, my prayer is unto
+thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O
+God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear
+me, in the truth of thy salvation.
+14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let
+me not sink: let me be delivered from
+them that hate me, and out of the deep
+waters.
+15 Let not the waterflood overflow me,
+neither let the deep swallow me up, and
+let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
+16 Hear me, O L ORD ; for thy
+lovingkindness is good: turn unto me
+
+PSALM 69
+To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+S
+
+AVE me, O God; for the waters are
+come in unto my soul.
+2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no
+38
+
+PSALMS 70, 71
+according to the multitude of thy tender
+mercies.
+17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me
+speedily.
+18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine
+enemies.
+19 Thou hast known my reproach, and
+my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
+20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and
+I am full of heaviness: and I looked for
+some to take pity, but there was none;
+and for comforters, but I found none.
+21 They gave me also gall for my meat;
+and in my thirst they gave me vinegar
+to drink.
+22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have
+been for their welfare, let it become a
+trap.
+23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they
+see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
+24 Pour out thine indignation upon
+them, and let thy wrathful anger take
+hold of them.
+25 Let their habitation be desolate; and
+let none dwell in their tents.
+26 For they persecute him whom thou
+hast smitten; and they talk to the grief
+of those whom thou hast wounded.
+27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and
+let them not come into thy righteousness.
+28 Let them be blotted out of the book
+of the living, and not be written with the
+righteous.
+29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let
+thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
+30 I will praise the name of God with
+a song, and will magnify him with
+thanksgiving.
+31 This also shall please the LORD
+
+better than an ox or bullock that hath
+horns and hoofs.
+32 The humble shall see this, and be
+glad: and your heart shall live that seek
+God.
+33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and
+despiseth not his prisoners.
+34 Let the heaven and earth praise him,
+the seas, and every thing that moveth
+therein.
+35 For God will save Zion, and will
+build the cities of Judah: that they may
+dwell there, and have it in possession.
+36 The seed also of his servants shall
+inherit it: and they that love his name
+shall dwell therein.
+PSALM 70
+To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David,
+to bring to remembrance.
+
+M
+
+AKE haste, O God, to deliver me;
+make haste to help me, O LORD.
+2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them
+be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
+3 Let them be turned back for a reward
+of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
+4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice
+and be glad in thee: and let such as love
+thy salvation say continually, Let God
+be magnified.
+5 But I am poor and needy: make haste
+unto me, O God: thou art my help and
+my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
+
+PSALM 71
+N thee, O LORD, do I put my trust:
+let me never be put to confusion.
+2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and
+cause me to escape: incline thine ear
+unto me, and save me.
+3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast
+
+I
+
+39
+
+PSALM 72
+given commandment to save me; for
+thou art my rock and my fortress.
+4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the
+hand of the wicked, out of the hand of
+the unrighteous and cruel man.
+5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD:
+thou art my trust from my youth.
+6 By thee have I been holden up from
+the womb: thou art he that took me out
+of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall
+be continually of thee.
+7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou
+art my strong refuge.
+8 Let my mouth be filled with thy
+praise and with thy honour all the day.
+9 Cast me not off in the time of old
+age; forsake me not when my strength
+faileth.
+10 For mine enemies speak against me;
+and they that lay wait for my soul take
+counsel together,
+11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:
+persecute and take him; for there is none
+to deliver him.
+12 O God, be not far from me: O my
+God, make haste for my help.
+13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;
+let them be covered with reproach and
+dishonour that seek my hurt.
+14 But I will hope continually, and will
+yet praise thee more and more.
+15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day;
+for I know not the numbers thereof.
+16 I will go in the strength of the Lord
+GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
+17 O God, thou hast taught me from
+my youth: and hitherto have I declared
+thy wondrous works.
+18 Now also when I am old and
+greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
+until I have shewed thy strength unto
+
+this generation, and thy power to every
+one that is to come.
+19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is
+very high, who hast done great things:
+O God, who is like unto thee!
+20 Thou, which hast shewed me great
+and sore troubles, shalt quicken me
+again, and shalt bring me up again from
+the depths of the earth.
+21 Thou shalt increase my greatness,
+and comfort me on every side.
+22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee
+will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy
+One of Israel.
+23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I
+sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou
+hast redeemed.
+24 My tongue also shall talk of thy
+righteousness all the day long: for they
+are confounded, for they are brought
+unto shame, that seek my hurt.
+PSALM 72
+
+G
+
+A Psalm for Solomon.
+
+IVE the king thy judgments, O
+God, and thy righteousness unto
+the king’s son.
+2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
+3 The mountains shall bring peace to
+the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
+4 He shall judge the poor of the people,
+he shall save the children of the needy,
+and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
+5 They shall fear thee as long as the
+sun and moon endure, throughout all
+generations.
+6 He shall come down like rain upon
+the mown grass: as showers that water
+the earth.
+7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as
+the moon endureth.
+
+40
+
+PSALM 73
+8 He shall have dominion also from
+sea to sea, and from the river unto the
+ends of the earth.
+9 They that dwell in the wilderness
+shall bow before him; and his enemies
+shall lick the dust.
+10 The kings of Tarshish and of the
+isles shall bring presents: the kings of
+Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
+11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
+12 For he shall deliver the needy when
+he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath
+no helper.
+13 He shall spare the poor and needy,
+and shall save the souls of the needy.
+14 He shall redeem their soul from
+deceit and violence: and precious shall
+their blood be in his sight.
+15 And he shall live, and to him shall
+be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer
+also shall be made for him continually;
+and daily shall he be praised.
+16 There shall be an handful of corn
+in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like
+Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
+17 His name shall endure for ever: his
+name shall be continued as long as the
+sun: and men shall be blessed in him:
+all nations shall call him blessed.
+18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God
+of Israel, who only doeth wondrous
+things.
+19 And blessed be his glorious name
+for ever: and let the whole earth be filled
+with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
+20 The prayers of David the son of
+Jesse are ended.
+
+2 But as for me, my feet were almost
+gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
+3 For I was envious at the foolish, when
+I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
+4 For there are no bands in their death:
+but their strength is firm.
+5 They are not in trouble as other men;
+neither are they plagued like other men.
+6 Therefore pride compasseth them
+about as a chain; violence covereth them
+as a garment.
+7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:
+they have more than heart could wish.
+8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak
+loftily.
+9 They set their mouth against the
+heavens, and their tongue walketh
+through the earth.
+10 Therefore his people return hither:
+and waters of a full cup are wrung out
+to them.
+11 And they say, How doth God know?
+and is there knowledge in the most
+High?
+12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who
+prosper in the world; they increase in
+riches.
+13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in
+vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
+14 For all the day long have I been
+plagued, and chastened every morning.
+15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I
+should offend against the generation of
+thy children.
+16 When I thought to know this, it was
+too painful for me;
+17 Until I went into the sanctuary of
+God; then understood I their end.
+18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down
+into destruction.
+19 How are they brought into desola-
+
+PSALM 73
+
+T
+
+A Psalm of Asaph.
+
+RULY God is good to Israel, even
+to such as are of a clean heart.
+41
+
+PSALM 74
+tion, as in a moment! they are utterly
+consumed with terrors.
+20 As a dream when one awaketh; so,
+O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt
+despise their image.
+21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I
+was pricked in my reins.
+22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was
+as a beast before thee.
+23 Nevertheless I am continually with
+thee: thou hast holden me by my right
+hand.
+24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
+25 Whom have I in heaven but thee?
+and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
+26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but
+God is the strength of my heart, and my
+portion for ever.
+27 For, lo, they that are far from thee
+shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them
+that go a whoring from thee.
+28 But it is good for me to draw near
+to God: I have put my trust in the Lord
+GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
+
+6 But now they break down the carved
+work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
+7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down
+the dwelling place of thy name to the
+ground.
+8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned
+up all the synagogues of God in the land.
+9 We see not our signs: there is no more
+any prophet: neither is there among us
+any that knoweth how long.
+10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy
+blaspheme thy name for ever?
+11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand,
+even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy
+bosom.
+12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
+13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy
+strength: thou brakest the heads of the
+dragons in the waters.
+14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan
+in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to
+the people inhabiting the wilderness.
+15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and
+the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
+16 The day is thine, the night also is
+thine: thou hast prepared the light and
+the sun.
+17 Thou hast set all the borders of the
+earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
+18 Remember this, that the enemy hath
+reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
+19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked:
+forget not the congregation of thy poor
+for ever.
+20 Have respect unto the covenant: for
+
+PSALM 74
+
+O
+
+Maschil of Asaph.
+
+GOD, why hast thou cast us off
+for ever? why doth thine anger
+smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
+2 Remember thy congregation, which
+thou hast purchased of old; the rod of
+thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou
+hast dwelt.
+3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
+desolations; even all that the enemy hath
+done wickedly in the sanctuary.
+4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of
+thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
+5 A man was famous according as he
+had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
+42
+
+PSALMS 75–77
+the dark places of the earth are full of
+the habitations of cruelty.
+21 O let not the oppressed return
+ashamed: let the poor and needy praise
+thy name.
+22 Arise, O God, plead thine own

+reproacheth thee daily.

+against thee increaseth continually.

+PSALM 76
+PSALM 76
+
+I
+
+To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
+A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
+
+N Judah is God known: his name is
+great in Israel.
+2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and
+his dwelling place in Zion.
+3 There brake he the arrows of the bow,
+the shield, and the sword, and the battle.
+Selah.
+4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
+5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they
+have slept their sleep: and none of the
+men of might have found their hands.
+6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both
+the chariot and horse are cast into a dead
+sleep.
+7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and
+who may stand in thy sight when once
+thou art angry?
+8 Thou didst cause judgment to be
+heard from heaven; the earth feared, and
+was still,
+9 When God arose to judgment, to save
+all the meek of the earth. Selah.
+10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise
+thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou
+restrain.
+11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your
+God: let all that be round about him
+bring presents unto him that ought to be
+feared.
+12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
+he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
+
+PSALM 75
+To the chief Musician, Al–taschith,
+A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
+
+U
+
+NTO thee, O God, do we give
+thanks, unto thee do we give
+thanks: for that thy name is near thy
+wondrous works declare.
+2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
+3 The earth and all the inhabitants
+thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
+4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the
+horn:
+5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak
+not with a stiff neck.
+6 For promotion cometh neither from
+the east, nor from the west, nor from the
+south.
+7 But God is the judge: he putteth down
+one, and setteth up another.
+8 For in the hand of the LORD there is
+a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of
+mixture; and he poureth out of the same:
+but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of
+the earth shall wring them out, and drink
+them.
+9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing
+praises to the God of Jacob.
+10 All the horns of the wicked also will
+I cut off; but the horns of the righteous
+shall be exalted.
+
+PSALM 77
+
+I
+
+To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
+A Psalm of Asaph.
+
+CRIED unto God with my voice, even
+unto God with my voice; and he
+gave ear unto me.
+2 In the day of my trouble I sought the
+Lord: my sore ran in the night, and
+
+43
+
+PSALM 78
+ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
+3 I remembered God, and was troubled:
+I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
+4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I
+am so troubled that I cannot speak.
+5 I have considered the days of old,
+the years of ancient times.
+6 I call to remembrance my song in the
+night: I commune with mine own heart:
+and my spirit made diligent search.
+7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and
+will he be favourable no more?
+8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
+doth his promise fail for evermore?
+9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
+hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
+10 And I said, This is my infirmity:
+but I will remember the years of the right
+hand of the most High.
+11 I will remember the works of the
+LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
+12 I will meditate also of all thy work,
+and talk of thy doings.
+13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
+14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength
+among the people.
+15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed
+thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
+16 The waters saw thee, O God, the
+waters saw thee; they were afraid: the
+depths also were troubled.
+17 The clouds poured out water: the
+skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also
+went abroad.
+18 The voice of thy thunder was in the
+heaven: the lightnings lightened the
+world: the earth trembled and shook.
+19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path
+
+in the great waters, and thy footsteps are
+not known.
+20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock
+by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
+PSALM 78
+
+G
+
+Maschil of Asaph.
+
+IVE ear, O my people, to my law:
+incline your ears to the words of
+my mouth.
+2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I
+will utter dark sayings of old:
+3 Which we have heard and known,
+and our fathers have told us.
+4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come
+the praises of the L ORD , and his
+strength, and his wonderful works that
+he hath done.
+5 For he established a testimony in
+Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,
+which he commanded our fathers, that
+they should make them known to their
+children:
+6 That the generation to come might
+know them, even the children which
+should be born; who should arise and
+declare them to their children:
+7 That they might set their hope in God,
+and not forget the works of God, but
+keep his commandments:
+8 And might not be as their fathers, a
+stubborn and rebellious generation; a
+generation that set not their heart aright,
+and whose spirit was not stedfast with
+God.
+9 The children of Ephraim, being
+armed, and carrying bows, turned back
+in the day of battle.
+10 They kept not the covenant of God,
+and refused to walk in his law;
+11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
+12 Marvellous things did he in the sight
+44
+
+PSALM 78
+of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in
+the field of Zoan.
+13 He divided the sea, and caused them
+to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
+14 In the daytime also he led them with
+a cloud, and all the night with a light of
+fire.
+15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the
+great depths.
+16 He brought streams also out of the
+rock, and caused waters to run down like
+rivers.
+17 And they sinned yet more against
+him by provoking the most High in the
+wilderness.
+18 And they tempted God in their heart
+by asking meat for their lust.
+19 Yea, they spake against God; they
+said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
+20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the
+waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he
+provide flesh for his people?
+21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and
+was wroth: so a fire was kindled against
+Jacob, and anger also came up against
+Israel;
+22 Because they believed not in God,
+and trusted not in his salvation:
+23 Though he had commanded the
+clouds from above, and opened the
+doors of heaven,
+24 And had rained down manna upon
+them to eat, and had given them of the
+corn of heaven.
+25 Man did eat angels’ food: he sent
+them meat to the full.
+26 He caused an east wind to blow in
+the heaven: and by his power he brought
+in the south wind.
+27 He rained flesh also upon them as
+
+dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand
+of the sea:
+28 And he let it fall in the midst of their
+camp, round about their habitations.
+29 So they did eat, and were well filled:
+for he gave them their own desire;
+30 They were not estranged from their
+lust. But while their meat was yet in their
+mouths,
+31 The wrath of God came upon them,
+and slew the fattest of them, and smote
+down the chosen men of Israel.
+32 For all this they sinned still, and
+believed not for his wondrous works.
+33 Therefore their days did he consume
+in vanity, and their years in trouble.
+34 When he slew them, then they
+sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
+35 And they remembered that God was
+their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
+36 Nevertheless they did flatter him
+with their mouth, and they lied unto him
+with their tongues.
+37 For their heart was not right with
+him, neither were they stedfast in his
+covenant.
+38 But he, being full of compassion,
+forgave their iniquity, and destroyed
+them not: yea, many a time turned he
+his anger away, and did not stir up all
+his wrath.
+39 For he remembered that they were
+but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and
+cometh not again.
+40 How oft did they provoke him in
+the wilderness, and grieve him in the
+desert!
+41 Yea, they turned back and tempted
+God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
+42 They remembered not his hand, nor
+the day when he delivered them from
+the enemy.
+45
+
+PSALM 78
+43 How he had wrought his signs in
+Egypt, and his wonders in the field of
+Zoan.
+44 And had turned their rivers into
+blood; and their floods, that they could
+not drink.
+45 He sent divers sorts of flies among
+them, which devoured them; and frogs,
+which destroyed them.
+46 He gave also their increase unto the
+caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
+47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
+and their sycomore trees with frost.
+48 He gave up their cattle also to the
+hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
+49 He cast upon them the fierceness
+of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and
+trouble, by sending evil angels among
+them.
+50 He made a way to his anger; he
+spared not their soul from death, but
+gave their life over to the pestilence;
+51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;
+the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
+52 But made his own people to go forth
+like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
+53 And he led them on safely, so that
+they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
+54 And he brought them to the border
+of his sanctuary, even to this mountain,
+which his right hand had purchased.
+55 He cast out the heathen also before
+them, and divided them an inheritance
+by line, and made the tribes of Israel to
+dwell in their tents.
+56 Yet they tempted and provoked the
+most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
+57 But turned back, and dealt unfaith-
+
+fully like their fathers: they were turned
+aside like a deceitful bow.
+58 For they provoked him to anger
+with their high places, and moved him
+to jealousy with their graven images.
+59 When God heard this, he was wroth,
+and greatly abhorred Israel:
+60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of
+Shiloh, the tent which he placed among
+men;
+61 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s
+hand.
+62 He gave his people over also unto
+the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
+63 The fire consumed their young men;
+and their maidens were not given to
+marriage.
+64 Their priests fell by the sword; and
+their widows made no lamentation.
+65 Then the Lord awaked as one out
+of sleep, and like a mighty man that
+shouteth by reason of wine.
+66 And he smote his enemies in the
+hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual
+reproach.
+67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle
+of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of
+Ephraim:
+68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the
+mount Zion which he loved.
+69 And he built his sanctuary like high
+palaces, like the earth which he hath
+established for ever.
+70 He chose David also his servant,
+and took him from the sheepfolds:
+71 From following the ewes great with
+young he brought him to feed Jacob his
+people, and Israel his inheritance.
+72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by
+the skilfulness of his hands.

+PSALM 79
+
+O
+
+A Psalm of Asaph.
+
+GOD, the heathen are come into
+thine inheritance; thy holy temple
+have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
+2 The dead bodies of thy servants have
+they given to be meat unto the fowls of
+the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto
+the beasts of the earth.
+3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was
+none to bury them.
+4 We are become a reproach to our
+neighbours, a scorn and derision to them
+that are round about us.
+5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like
+fire?
+6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen
+that have not known thee, and upon the
+kingdoms that have not called upon thy
+name.
+7 For they have devoured Jacob, and
+laid waste his dwelling place.
+8 O remember not against us former
+iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very
+low.
+9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for
+the glory of thy name: and deliver us,
+and purge away our sins, for thy name’s
+sake.
+10 Wherefore should the heathen say,
+Where is their God? let him be known
+among the heathen in our sight by the
+revenging of the blood of thy servants
+which is shed.
+11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come
+before thee; according to the greatness
+of thy power preserve thou those that
+are appointed to die;
+12 And render unto our neighbours
+sevenfold into their bosom their re-

+G
+
+IVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou
+that leadest Joseph like a flock;
+thou that dwellest between the
+cherubims, shine forth.
+2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and
+Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
+and save us.
+3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy
+face to shine; and we shall be saved.
+4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt
+thou be angry against the prayer of thy
+people?
+5 Thou feedest them with the bread of
+tears; and givest them tears to drink in
+great measure.
+6 Thou makest us a strife unto our
+neighbours: and our enemies laugh
+among themselves.
+7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and
+cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
+saved.
+8 Thou hast brought a vine out of
+Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen,
+and planted it.
+9 Thou preparedst room before it, and
+didst cause it to take deep root, and it
+filled the land.
+10 The hills were covered with the
+shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
+were like the goodly cedars.
+11 She sent out her boughs unto the
+sea, and her branches unto the river.
+12 Why hast thou then broken down
+her hedges, so that all they which pass
+by the way do pluck her?
+47
+
+PSALMS 81, 82
+13 The boar out of the wood doth waste
+it, and the wild beast of the field doth
+devour it.
+14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of
+hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
+15 And the vineyard which thy right
+hand hath planted, and the branch that
+thou madest strong for thyself.
+16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
+they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
+17 Let thy hand be upon the man of
+thy right hand, upon the son of man
+whom thou madest strong for thyself.
+18 So will not we go back from thee:
+quicken us, and we will call upon thy
+name.
+19 Turn us again, O LORD God of
+hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we
+shall be saved.

+8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify
+unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken
+unto me;
+9 There shall no strange god be in thee;
+neither shalt thou worship any strange
+god.
+10 I am the LORD thy God, which
+brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
+open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
+11 But my people would not hearken
+to my voice; and Israel would none of
+me.
+12 So I gave them up unto their own
+hearts’ lust: and they walked in their
+own counsels.
+13 Oh that my people had hearkened
+unto me, and Israel had walked in my
+ways!
+14 I should soon have subdued their
+enemies, and turned my hand against
+their adversaries.
+15 The haters of the LORD should have
+submitted themselves unto him: but their
+time should have endured for ever.
+16 He should have fed them also with
+the finest of the wheat: and with honey
+out of the rock should I have satisfied
+thee.

+and they that hate thee have lifted up
+the head.
+3 They have taken crafty counsel
+against thy people, and consulted against
+thy hidden ones.
+4 They have said, Come, and let us cut
+them off from being a nation; that the
+name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
+5 For they have consulted together with
+one consent: they are confederate
+against thee:
+6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the
+Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
+Hagarenes;
+7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the
+Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

+trusteth in thee.
+3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I

+4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for
+unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
+5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready
+to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto
+all them that call upon thee.
+6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;
+and attend to the voice of my supplications.
+7 In the day of my trouble I will call
+upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
+8 Among the gods there is none like
+unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any
+works like unto thy works.
+9 All nations whom thou hast made
+shall come and worship before thee, O
+Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
+10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
+11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will
+walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear
+thy name.
+12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God,
+with all my heart: and I will glorify thy

+2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy
+people, thou hast covered all their sin.
+Selah.
+3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:
+thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
+4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and
+cause thine anger toward us to cease.
+5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
+wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
+6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that

+not turn again to folly.
+9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that

+11 Truth shall spring out of the earth;

+16 O turn unto me, and have mercy
+upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine

+17 Shew me a token for good; that they

+holpen me, and comforted me.
+
+2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
+3 For my soul is full of troubles: and

+strength:
+5 Free among the dead, like the slain
+that lie in the grave, whom thou
+rememberest no more: and they are cut
+off from thy hand.
+6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,
+in darkness, in the deeps.
+7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and
+thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.
+Selah.
+8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me
+an abomination unto them: I am shut up,
+and I cannot come forth.
+9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon
+thee, I have stretched out my hands unto
+thee.
+10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the
+dead? shall the dead arise and praise
+thee? Selah.
+11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness
+in destruction?
+12 Shall thy wonders be known in the
+dark? and thy righteousness in the land
+of forgetfulness?
+13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD;
+and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
+14 LORD, why castest thou off my
+soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
+15 I am afflicted and ready to die from
+my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I
+am distracted.
+16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy
+terrors have cut me off.
+17 They came round about me daily

+
+IS foundation is in the holy
+mountains.
+2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion
+more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
+3 Glorious things are spoken of thee,
+O city of God. Selah.
+4 I will make mention of Rahab and
+Babylon to them that know me: behold
+Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this
+man was born there.
+5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and
+that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
+6 The LORD shall count, when he
+writeth up the people, that this man was
+born there. Selah.
+7 As well the singers as the players on
+instruments shall be there: all my
+springs are in thee.
+PSALM 88
+A Song or Psalm for the sons of
+Korah, to the chief Musician upon
+Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of
+Heman the Ezrahite.
+
+O
+
+LORD God of my salvation, I have
+cried day and night before thee:
+51
+
+PSALM 89
+like water; they compassed me about
+together.
+18 Lover and friend hast thou put far
+from me, and mine acquaintance into
+darkness.
+
+created them: Tabor and Hermon shall
+rejoice in thy name.
+13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is
+thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
+14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth
+shall go before thy face.
+15 Blessed is the people that know the
+joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD,
+in the light of thy countenance.
+16 In thy name shall they rejoice all
+the day: and in thy righteousness shall
+they be exalted.
+17 For thou art the glory of their
+strength: and in thy favour our horn shall
+be exalted.
+18 For the LORD is our defence; and
+the Holy One of Israel is our king.
+19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy
+holy one, and saidst, I have laid help
+upon one that is mighty; I have exalted
+one chosen out of the people.
+20 I have found David my servant;
+with my holy oil have I anointed him:
+21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen
+him.
+22 The enemy shall not exact upon
+him; nor the son of wickedness afflict
+him.
+23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate
+him.
+24 But my faithfulness and my mercy
+shall be with him: and in my name shall
+his horn be exalted.
+25 I will set his hand also in the sea,
+and his right hand in the rivers.
+26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my
+father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
+27 Also I will make him my firstborn,
+higher than the kings of the earth.
+28 My mercy will I keep for him for
+
+PSALM 89
+
+I
+
+Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
+
+WILL sing of the mercies of the
+LORD for ever: with my mouth will
+I make known thy faithfulness to all
+generations.
+2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built
+up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou
+establish in the very heavens.
+3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my
+servant,
+4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and
+build up thy throne to all generations.
+Selah.
+5 And the heavens shall praise thy
+wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also
+in the congregation of the saints.
+6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the
+sons of the mighty can be likened unto
+the LORD?
+7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in
+reverence of all them that are about him.
+8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a
+strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy
+faithfulness round about thee?
+9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea:
+when the waves thereof arise, thou
+stillest them.
+10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces,
+as one that is slain; thou hast scattered
+thine enemies with thy strong arm.
+11 The heavens are thine, the earth also
+is thine: as for the world and the fulness
+thereof, thou hast founded them.
+12 The north and the south thou hast
+52
+
+PSALM 90
+evermore, and my covenant shall stand
+fast with him.
+29 His seed also will I make to endure
+for ever, and his throne as the days of
+heaven.
+30 If his children forsake my law, and
+walk not in my judgments;
+31 If they break my statutes, and keep
+not my commandments;
+32 Then will I visit their transgression
+with the rod, and their iniquity with
+stripes.
+33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness
+will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
+34 My covenant will I not break, nor
+alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
+35 Once have I sworn by my holiness
+that I will not lie unto David.
+36 His seed shall endure for ever, and
+his throne as the sun before me.
+37 It shall be established for ever as
+the moon, and as a faithful witness in
+heaven. Selah.
+38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred,
+thou hast been wroth with thine
+anointed.
+39 Thou hast made void the covenant
+of thy servant: thou hast profaned his
+crown by casting it to the ground.
+40 Thou hast broken down all his
+hedges; thou hast brought his strong
+holds to ruin.
+41 All that pass by the way spoil him:
+he is a reproach to his neighbours.
+42 Thou hast set up the right hand of
+his adversaries; thou hast made all his
+enemies to rejoice.
+43 Thou hast also turned the edge of
+his sword, and hast not made him to
+stand in the battle.
+44 Thou hast made his glory to cease,
+and cast his throne down to the ground.
+45 The days of his youth hast thou
+
+shortened: thou hast covered him with
+shame. Selah.
+46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide
+thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn
+like fire?
+47 Remember how short my time is:
+wherefore hast thou made all men in
+vain?
+48 What man is he that liveth, and shall
+not see death? shall he deliver his soul
+from the hand of the grave? Selah.
+49 Lord, where are thy former
+lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest
+unto David in thy truth?
+50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of
+thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty
+people;
+51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O L ORD ; wherewith they
+have reproached the footsteps of thine
+anointed.
+52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore.
+Amen, and Amen.
+PSALM 90
+A prayer of Moses the man of God.
+
+L
+
+ORD, thou hast been our dwelling
+place in all generations.
+2 Before the mountains were brought
+forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth
+and the world, even from everlasting to
+everlasting, thou art God.
+3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and
+sayest, Return, ye children of men.
+4 For a thousand years in thy sight are
+but as yesterday when it is past, and as
+a watch in the night.
+5 Thou carriest them away as with a
+flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth
+up.
+6 In the morning it flourisheth, and
+
+53
+
+PSALMS 91, 92
+groweth up; in the evening it is cut
+down, and withereth.
+7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
+8 Thou hast set our iniquities before
+thee, our secret sins in the light of thy
+countenance.
+9 For all our days are passed away in
+thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale
+that is told.
+10 The days of our years are threescore
+years and ten; and if by reason of
+strength they be fourscore years, yet is
+their strength labour and sorrow; for it
+is soon cut off, and we fly away.
+11 Who knoweth the power of thine
+anger? even according to thy fear, so is
+thy wrath.
+12 So teach us to number our days, that
+we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
+13 Return, O LORD, how long? and
+let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
+14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy;
+that we may rejoice and be glad all our
+days.
+15 Make us glad according to the days
+wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the
+years wherein we have seen evil.
+16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
+17 And let the beauty of the LORD our
+God be upon us: and establish thou the
+work of our hands upon us; yea, the
+work of our hands establish thou it.
+
+4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:
+his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
+5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth
+by day;
+6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh
+in darkness; nor for the destruction that
+wasteth at noonday.
+7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and
+ten thousand at thy right hand; but it
+shall not come nigh thee.
+8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
+9 Because thou hast made the LORD,
+which is my refuge, even the most High,
+thy habitation;
+10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy
+dwelling.
+11 For he shall give his angels charge
+over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
+12 They shall bear thee up in their
+hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a
+stone.
+13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and
+adder: the young lion and the dragon
+shalt thou trample under feet.
+14 Because he hath set his love upon
+me, therefore will I deliver him: I will
+set him on high, because he hath known
+my name.
+15 He shall call upon me, and I will
+answer him: I will be with him in
+trouble; I will deliver him, and honour
+him.
+16 With long life will I satisfy him, and
+shew him my salvation.
+
+PSALM 91
+E that dwelleth in the secret place
+of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
+2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him
+will I trust.
+3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the
+snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
+
+H
+
+PSALM 92
+
+I
+
+A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
+
+T is a good thing to give thanks unto
+the LORD, and to sing praises unto
+thy name, O most High:
+2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in
+
+54
+
+PSALMS 93, 94
+the morning, and thy faithfulness every
+night,
+3 Upon an instrument of ten strings,
+and upon the psaltery; upon the harp
+with a solemn sound.
+4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad
+through thy work: I will triumph in the
+works of thy hands.
+5 O LORD, how great are thy works!
+and thy thoughts are very deep.
+6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither
+doth a fool understand this.
+7 When the wicked spring as the grass,
+and when all the workers of iniquity do
+flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed
+for ever:
+8 But thou, LORD, art most high for
+evermore.
+9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for,
+lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the
+workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
+10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like
+the horn of an unicorn: I shall be
+anointed with fresh oil.
+11 Mine eye also shall see my desire
+on mine enemies, and mine ears shall
+hear my desire of the wicked that rise
+up against me.
+12 The righteous shall flourish like the
+palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in
+Lebanon.
+13 Those that be planted in the house
+of the LORD shall flourish in the courts
+of our God.
+14 They shall still bring forth fruit in
+old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
+15 To shew that the LORD is upright:
+he is my rock, and there is no
+unrighteousness in him.
+
+himself: the world also is stablished, that
+it cannot be moved.
+2 Thy throne is established of old: thou
+art from everlasting.
+3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
+the floods have lifted up their voice; the
+floods lift up their waves.
+4 The LORD on high is mightier than
+the noise of many waters, yea, than the
+mighty waves of the sea.
+5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for
+ever.
+PSALM 94
+LORD God, to whom vengeance
+belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
+2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the
+earth: render a reward to the proud.
+3 LORD, how long shall the wicked,
+how long shall the wicked triumph?
+4 How long shall they utter and speak
+hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
+5 They break in pieces thy people, O
+LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
+6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
+and murder the fatherless.
+7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see,
+neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
+8 Understand, ye brutish among the
+people: and ye fools, when will ye be
+wise?
+9 He that planted the ear, shall he not
+hear? he that formed the eye, shall he
+not see?
+10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall
+not he correct? he that teacheth man
+knowledge, shall not he know?
+11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of
+man, that they are vanity.
+12 Blessed is the man whom thou
+chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him
+out of thy law;
+
+O
+
+PSALM 93
+HE LORD reigneth, he is clothed
+with majesty; the LORD is clothed
+with strength, wherewith he hath girded
+
+T
+
+55
+
+PSALMS 95, 96
+13 That thou mayest give him rest from
+the days of adversity, until the pit be
+digged for the wicked.
+14 For the LORD will not cast off his
+people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
+15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart
+shall follow it.
+16 Who will rise up for me against the
+evildoers? or who will stand up for me
+against the workers of iniquity?
+17 Unless the LORD had been my help,
+my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
+18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy
+mercy, O LORD, held me up.
+19 In the multitude of my thoughts
+within me thy comforts delight my soul.
+20 Shall the throne of iniquity have
+fellowship with thee, which frameth
+mischief by a law?
+21 They gather themselves together
+against the soul of the righteous, and
+condemn the innocent blood.
+22 But the LORD is my defence; and
+my God is the rock of my refuge.
+23 And he shall bring upon them their
+own iniquity, and shall cut them off in
+their own wickedness; yea, the LORD
+our God shall cut them off.
+
+6 O come, let us worship and bow
+down: let us kneel before the LORD our
+maker.
+7 For he is our God; and we are the
+people of his pasture, and the sheep of
+his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
+8 Harden not your heart, as in the
+provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
+9 When your fathers tempted me,
+proved me, and saw my work.
+10 Forty years long was I grieved with
+this generation, and said, It is a people
+that do err in their heart, and they have
+not known my ways:
+11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath
+that they should not enter into my rest.
+PSALM 96
+SING unto the LORD a new song:
+sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
+2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name;
+shew forth his salvation from day to day.
+3 Declare his glory among the heathen,
+his wonders among all people.
+4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to
+be praised: he is to be feared above all
+gods.
+5 For all the gods of the nations are
+idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
+6 Honour and majesty are before him:
+strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
+7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds
+of the people, give unto the LORD glory
+and strength.
+8 Give unto the LORD the glory due
+unto his name: bring an offering, and
+come into his courts.
+9 O worship the LORD in the beauty
+of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
+10 Say among the heathen that the
+LORD reigneth: the world also shall be
+established that it shall not be moved:
+he shall judge the people righteously.
+
+O

+COME, let us sing unto the LORD:
+let us make a joyful noise to the
+rock of our salvation.
+2 Let us come before his presence with
+thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise
+unto him with psalms.
+3 For the LORD is a great God, and a
+great King above all gods.
+4 In his hand are the deep places of
+the earth: the strength of the hills is his
+also.
+5 The sea is his, and he made it: and
+his hands formed the dry land.
+
+O
+
+56
+
+PSALMS 97–99
+11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the
+earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the
+fulness thereof.
+12 Let the field be joyful, and all that
+is therein: then shall all the trees of the
+wood rejoice
+13 Before the LORD: for he cometh,
+for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall
+judge the world with righteousness, and
+the people with his truth.
+
+PSALM 98
+PSALM 98
+
+O
+
+A Psalm.
+SING unto the LORD a new song;
+
+for he hath done marvellous
+things: his right hand, and his holy arm,
+hath gotten him the victory.
+2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly
+shewed in the sight of the heathen.
+3 He hath remembered his mercy and
+his truth toward the house of Israel: all
+the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
+4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,
+all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
+5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp;
+with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
+6 With trumpets and sound of cornet
+make a joyful noise before the LORD,
+the King.
+7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness
+thereof; the world, and they that dwell
+therein.
+8 Let the floods clap their hands: let
+the hills be joyful together
+9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to
+judge the earth: with righteousness shall
+he judge the world, and the people with
+equity.
+
+PSALM 97
+HE LORD reigneth; let the earth
+rejoice; let the multitude of isles
+be glad thereof.
+2 Clouds and darkness are round about
+him: righteousness and judgment are the
+habitation of his throne.
+3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth
+up his enemies round about.
+4 His lightnings enlightened the world:
+the earth saw, and trembled.
+5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the
+Lord of the whole earth.
+6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
+7 Confounded be all they that serve
+graven images, that boast themselves of
+idols: worship him, all ye gods.
+8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the
+daughters of Judah rejoiced because of
+thy judgments, O LORD.
+9 For thou, LORD, art high above all
+the earth: thou art exalted far above all
+gods.
+10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
+he preserveth the souls of his saints; he
+delivereth them out of the hand of the
+wicked.
+11 Light is sown for the righteous, and
+gladness for the upright in heart.

+3 Let them praise thy great and terrible
+name; for it is holy.
+4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou
+executest judgment and righteousness in
+Jacob.
+5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and

+
+PSALMS 100–102
+worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
+6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
+and Samuel among them that call upon
+his name; they called upon the LORD,
+and he answered them.
+7 He spake unto them in the cloudy
+pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the
+ordinance that he gave them.
+8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our
+God: thou wast a God that forgavest
+them, though thou tookest vengeance of
+their inventions.
+9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our
+God is holy.
+
+4 A froward heart shall depart from me:
+I will not know a wicked person.
+5 Whoso privily slandereth his
+neighbour, him will I cut off: him that

+not I suffer.
+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.
+7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell
+within my house: he that telleth lies shall
+not tarry in my sight.
+8 I will early destroy all the wicked of

+doers from the city of the LORD.

+2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come
+before his presence with singing.
+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.
+4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be
+thankful unto him, and bless his name.
+5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is
+everlasting; and his truth endureth to all
+generations.
+
+A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is
+overwhelmed, and poureth out his
+complaint before the LORD.
+EAR my prayer, O LORD, and let
+
+H
+
+my cry come unto thee.
+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.
+3 For my days are consumed like
+smoke, and my bones are burned as an
+hearth.
+4 My heart is smitten, and withered like
+grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
+5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
+6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness:
+I am like an owl of the desert.
+7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone
+upon the house top.
+8 Mine enemies reproach me all the
+day; and they that are mad against me
+are sworn against me.
+9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and
+mingled my drink with weeping.
+10 Because of thine indignation and
+
+PSALM 101
+
+I
+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+WILL sing of mercy and judgment:
+unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
+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.
+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.
+58
+
+PSALM 103
+thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up,
+and cast me down.
+11 My days are like a shadow that
+declineth; and I am withered like grass.
+12 But thou, O LORD, shall endure for
+ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
+13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy
+upon Zion: for the time to favour her,
+yea, the set time, is come.
+14 For thy servants take pleasure in her
+stones, and favour the dust thereof.
+15 So the heathen shall fear the name
+of the LORD, and all the kings of the
+earth thy glory.
+16 When the L ORD shall build up
+Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
+17 He will regard the prayer of the
+destitute, and not despise their prayer.
+18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which
+shall be created shall praise the LORD.
+19 For he hath looked down from the
+height of his sanctuary; from heaven did
+the LORD behold the earth;
+20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed
+to death;
+21 To declare the name of the LORD
+in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
+22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the
+LORD.
+23 He weakened my strength in the
+way; he shortened my days.
+24 I said, O my God, take me not away
+in the midst of my days: thy years are
+throughout all generations.
+25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are
+the work of thy hands.
+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:
+
+27 But thou art the same, and thy years
+shall have no end.
+28 The children of thy servants shall
+continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
+PSALM 103

+B
+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+LESS the LORD, O my soul: and
+all that is within me, bless his
+holy name.
+2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
+3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
+who healeth all thy diseases;
+4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
+lovingkindness and tender mercies;
+5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
+things; so that thy youth is renewed like
+the eagle’s.
+6 The LORD executeth righteousness
+and judgment for all that are oppressed.
+7 He made known his ways unto
+Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
+8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
+slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
+9 He will not always chide: neither will
+he keep his anger for ever.
+10 He hath not dealt with us after our
+sins; nor rewarded us according to our
+iniquities.
+11 For as the heaven is high above the
+earth, so great is his mercy toward them
+that fear him.
+12 As far as the east is from the west,
+so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
+13 Like as a father pitieth his children,
+so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
+14 For he knoweth our frame; he
+remembereth that we are dust.
+15 As for man, his days are as grass:
+as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
+59
+
+PSALM 104
+16 For the wind passeth over it, and it
+is gone; and the place thereof shall know
+it no more.
+17 But the mercy of the LORD is from
+everlasting to everlasting upon them that
+fear him, and his righteousness unto
+children’s children;
+18 To such as keep his covenant, and
+to those that remember his commandments to do them.
+19 The LORD hath prepared his throne
+in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth
+over all.
+20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that
+excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his
+word.
+21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts;
+ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
+22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all
+places of his dominion: bless the LORD,
+O my soul.
+
+go down by the valleys unto the place
+which thou hast founded for them.
+9 Thou hast set a bound that they may
+not pass over; that they turn not again
+to cover the earth.
+10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
+11 They give drink to every beast of
+the field: the wild asses quench their
+thirst.
+12 By them shall the fowls of the
+heaven have their habitation, which sing
+among the branches.
+13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit
+of thy works.
+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;
+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.
+16 The trees of the LORD are full of
+sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he
+hath planted;
+17 Where the birds make their nests:
+as for the stork, the fir trees are her
+house.
+18 The high hills are a refuge for the
+wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
+19 He appointed the moon for seasons:
+the sun knoweth his going down.
+20 Thou makest darkness, and it is
+night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
+21 The young lions roar after their prey,
+and seek their meat from God.
+22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in
+their dens.
+23 Man goeth forth unto his work and
+to his labour until the evening.
+24 O LORD, how manifold are thy
+
+PSALM 104
+LESS the L ORD, O my soul. O
+L ORD my God, thou art very
+great; thou art clothed with honour and
+majesty.
+2 Who coverest thyself with light as
+with a garment: who stretchest out the
+heavens like a curtain:
+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:
+4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his
+ministers a flaming fire:
+5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,
+that it should not be removed for ever.
+6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as
+with a garment: the waters stood above
+the mountains.
+7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice
+of thy thunder they hasted away.
+8 They go up by the mountains; they
+
+B
+
+60
+
+PSALM 105
+works! in wisdom hast thou made them
+all: the earth is full of thy riches.
+25 So is this great and wide sea,
+wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
+26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play
+therein.
+27 These wait all upon thee; that thou
+mayest give them their meat in due season.
+28 That thou givest them they gather:
+thou openest thine hand, they are filled
+with good.
+29 Thou hidest thy face, they are
+troubled: thou takest away their breath,
+they die, and return to their dust.
+30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they
+are created: and thou renewest the face
+of the earth.
+31 The glory of the LORD shall endure
+for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his
+works.
+32 He looketh on the earth, and it
+trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they
+smoke.
+33 I will sing unto the LORD as long
+as I live: I will sing praise to my God
+while I have my being.
+34 My meditation of him shall be
+sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
+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.
+
+4 Seek the LORD, and his strength:
+seek his face evermore.
+5 Remember his marvellous works that
+he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
+6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
+ye children of Jacob his chosen.
+7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
+8 He hath remembered his covenant for
+ever, the word which he commanded to
+a thousand generations.
+9 Which covenant he made with
+Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
+10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob
+for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
+11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the
+land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
+12 When they were but a few men in
+number; yea, very few, and strangers in
+it.
+13 When they went from one nation to
+another, from one kingdom to another
+people;
+14 He suffered no man to do them
+wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
+sakes;
+15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed,
+and do my prophets no harm.
+16 Moreover he called for a famine
+upon the land: he brake the whole staff
+of bread.
+17 He sent a man before them, even
+Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
+18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters:
+he was laid in iron:
+19 Until the time that his word came:
+the word of the LORD tried him.
+20 The king sent and loosed him; even
+the ruler of the people, and let him go
+free.
+21 He made him lord of his house, and
+ruler of all his substance:
+
+PSALM 105
+GIVE thanks unto the LORD; call
+upon his name: make known his
+deeds among the people.
+2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
+talk ye of all his wondrous works.
+3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the
+heart of them rejoice that seek the
+LORD.
+
+O
+
+61
+
+PSALM 106
+22 To bind his princes at his pleasure;
+and teach his senators wisdom.
+23 Israel also came into Egypt; and
+Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
+24 And he increased his people greatly;
+and made them stronger than their enemies.
+25 He turned their heart to hate his
+people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
+26 He sent Moses his servant; and
+Aaron whom he had chosen.
+27 They shewed his signs among them,
+and wonders in the land of Ham.
+28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
+and they rebelled not against his word.
+29 He turned their waters into blood,
+and slew their fish.
+30 Their land brought forth frogs in
+abundance, in the chambers of their
+kings.
+31 He spake, and there came divers
+sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
+32 He gave them hail for rain, and
+flaming fire in their land.
+33 He smote their vines also and their
+fig trees; and brake the trees of their
+coasts.
+34 He spake, and the locusts came, and
+caterpillers, and that without number,
+35 And did eat up all the herbs in their
+land, and devoured the fruit of their
+ground.
+36 He smote also all the firstborn in
+their land, the chief of all their strength.
+37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one
+feeble person among their tribes.
+38 Egypt was glad when they departed:
+for the fear of them fell upon them.
+39 He spread a cloud for a covering;
+and fire to give light in the night.
+40 The people asked, and he brought
+quails, and satisfied them with the bread
+of heaven.
+41 He opened the rock, and the waters
+
+gushed out; they ran in the dry places
+like a river.
+42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
+43 And he brought forth his people
+with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
+44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of
+the people;
+45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the
+LORD.
+PSALM 106
+RAISE ye the LORD. O give thanks
+unto the LORD; for he is good: for
+his mercy endureth for ever.
+2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the
+L ORD ? who can shew forth all his
+praise?
+3 Blessed are they that keep judgment,
+and he that doeth righteousness at all
+times.
+4 Remember me, O LORD, with the
+favour that thou bearest unto thy people:
+O visit me with thy salvation;
+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.
+6 We have sinned with our fathers, we
+have committed iniquity, we have done
+wickedly.
+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.
+8 Nevertheless he saved them for his
+name’s sake, that he might make his
+mighty power to be known.
+9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it
+was dried up: so he led them through
+the depths, as through the wilderness.
+10 And he saved them from the hand
+
+P
+
+62
+
+PSALM 106
+of him that hated them, and redeemed
+them from the hand of the enemy.
+11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
+12 Then believed they his words; they
+sang his praise.
+13 They soon forgat his works; they
+waited not for his counsel:
+14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
+15 And he gave them their request; but
+sent leanness into their soul.
+16 They envied Moses also in the
+camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
+17 The earth opened and swallowed
+up Dathan and covered the company of
+Abiram.
+18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
+19 They made a calf in Horeb, and
+worshipped the molten image.
+20 Thus they changed their glory into
+the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
+21 They forgat God their saviour,
+which had done great things in Egypt;
+22 Wondrous works in the land of
+Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
+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.
+24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
+they believed not his word:
+25 But murmured in their tents, and
+hearkened not unto the voice of the
+LORD.
+26 Therefore he lifted up his hand
+against them, to overthrow them in the
+wilderness:
+27 To overthrow their seed also among
+the nations, and to scatter them in the
+lands.
+28 They joined themselves also unto
+
+Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the
+dead.
+29 Thus they provoked him to anger
+with their inventions: and the plague
+brake in upon them.
+30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was
+stayed.
+31 And that was counted unto him for
+righteousness unto all generations for
+evermore.
+32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with
+Moses for their sakes:
+33 Because they provoked his spirit,
+so that he spake unadvisedly with his
+lips.
+34 They did not destroy the nations,
+concerning whom the L ORD commanded them:
+35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
+36 And they served their idols: which
+were a snare unto them.
+37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and
+their daughters unto devils,
+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.
+39 Thus were they defiled with their
+own works, and went a whoring with
+their own inventions.
+40 Therefore was the wrath of the
+L ORD kindled against his people,
+insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
+41 And he gave them into the hand of
+the heathen; and they that hated them
+ruled over them.
+42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
+and they were brought into subjection
+under their hand.
+43 Many times did he deliver them; but
+63
+
+PSALM 107
+they provoked him with their counsel,
+and were brought low for their iniquity.
+44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
+45 And he remembered for them his
+covenant, and repented according to the
+multitude of his mercies.
+46 He made them also to be pitied of
+all those that carried them captives.
+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.
+48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
+from everlasting to everlasting: and let
+all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the
+LORD.
+
+shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
+11 Because they rebelled against the
+words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
+12 Therefore he brought down their
+heart with labour; they fell down, and
+there was none to help.
+13 Then they cried unto the LORD in
+their trouble, and he saved them out of
+their distresses.
+14 He brought them out of darkness
+and the shadow of death, and brake their
+bands in sunder.
+15 Oh that men would praise the LORD
+for his goodness, and for his wonderful
+works to the children of men!
+16 For he hath broken the gates of
+brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
+17 Fools because of their transgression,
+and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
+18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of
+meat; and they draw near unto the gates
+of death.
+19 Then they cry unto the LORD in
+their trouble, and he saveth them out of
+their distresses.
+20 He sent his word, and healed them,
+and delivered them from their destructions.
+21 Oh that men would praise the LORD
+for his goodness, and for his wonderful
+works to the children of men!
+22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices
+of thanksgiving, and declare his works
+with rejoicing.
+23 They that go down to the sea in
+ships, that do business in great waters;
+24 These see the works of the LORD,
+and his wonders in the deep.
+25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the
+stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves
+thereof.
+26 They mount up to the heaven, they
+
+PSALM 107
+GIVE thanks unto the LORD, for
+he is good: for his mercy
+endureth for ever.
+2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say
+so, whom he hath redeemed from the
+hand of the enemy;
+3 And gathered them out of the lands,
+from the east, and from the west, from
+the north, and from the south.
+4 They wandered in the wilderness in
+a solitary way; they found no city to
+dwell in.
+5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted
+in them.
+6 Then they cried unto the LORD in
+their trouble, and he delivered them out
+of their distresses.
+7 And he led them forth by the right
+way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
+8 Oh that men would praise the LORD
+for his goodness, and for his wonderful
+works to the children of men!
+9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and
+filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
+10 Such as sit in darkness and in the
+
+O
+
+64
+
+PSALM 108
+go down again to the depths: their soul
+is melted because of trouble.
+27 They reel to and fro, and stagger
+like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s
+end.
+28 Then they cry unto the LORD in
+their trouble, and he bringeth them out
+of their distresses.
+29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that
+the waves thereof are still.
+30 Then are they glad because they be
+quiet; so he bringeth them unto their
+desired haven.
+31 Oh that men would praise the LORD
+for his goodness, and for his wonderful
+works to the children of men!
+32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him
+in the assembly of the elders.
+33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
+and the watersprings into dry ground;
+34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for
+the wickedness of them that dwell
+therein.
+35 He turneth the wilderness into a
+standing water, and dry ground into
+watersprings.
+36 And there he maketh the hungry to
+dwell, that they may prepare a city for
+habitation;
+37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of
+increase.
+38 He blesseth them also, so that they
+are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not
+their cattle to decrease.
+39 Again, they are minished and
+brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
+40 He poureth contempt upon princes,
+and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
+41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from
+affliction, and maketh him families like
+a flock.
+
+42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her
+mouth.
+43 Whoso is wise, and will observe
+these things, even they shall understand
+the lovingkindness of the LORD.
+PSALM 108
+
+O
+
+A Song or Psalm of David.
+
+GOD, my heart is fixed; I will sing
+and give praise, even with my
+glory.
+2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself
+will awake early.
+3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among
+the people: and I will sing praises unto
+thee among the nations.
+4 For thy mercy is great above the
+heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the
+clouds.
+5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the
+heavens: and thy glory above all the
+earth;
+6 That thy beloved may be delivered:
+save with thy right hand, and answer me.
+7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I
+will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and
+mete out the valley of Succoth.
+8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
+Ephraim also is the strength of mine
+head; Judah is my lawgiver;
+9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will
+I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I
+triumph.
+10 Who will bring me into the strong
+city? who will lead me into Edom?
+11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast
+us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go
+forth with our hosts?
+12 Give us help from trouble: for vain
+is the help of man.
+13 Through God we shall do valiantly:
+for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
+65
+
+PSALM 109
+shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and
+needy man, that he might even slay the
+broken in heart.
+17 As he loved cursing, so let it come
+unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
+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.
+19 Let it be unto him as the garment
+which covereth him, and for a girdle
+wherewith he is girded continually.
+20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them
+that speak evil against my soul.
+21 But do thou for me, O GOD the
+Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy
+mercy is good, deliver thou me.
+22 For I am poor and needy, and my
+heart is wounded within me.
+23 I am gone like the shadow when it
+declineth: I am tossed up and down as
+the locust.
+24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
+25 I became also a reproach unto them:
+when they looked upon me they shaked
+their heads.
+26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save
+me according to thy mercy:
+27 That they may know that this is thy
+hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
+28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when
+they arise, let them be ashamed; but let
+thy servant rejoice.
+29 Let mine adversaries be clothed
+with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with
+a mantle.
+30 I will greatly praise the LORD with
+my mouth; yea, I will praise him among
+the multitude.
+31 For he shall stand at the right hand
+
+PSALM 109
+PSALM 109
+
+H
+
+To the chief Musician,
+A Psalm of David.
+
+OLD not thy peace, O God of my
+praise;
+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.
+3 They compassed me about also with
+words of hatred; and fought against me
+without a cause.
+4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
+5 And they have rewarded me evil for
+good, and hatred for my love.
+6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and
+let Satan stand at his right hand.
+7 When he shall be judged, let him be
+condemned: and let his prayer become
+sin.
+8 Let his days be few; and let another
+take his office.
+9 Let his children be fatherless, and his
+wife a widow.
+10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread
+also out of their desolate places.
+11 Let the extortioner catch all that he
+hath; and let the strangers spoil his
+labour.
+12 Let there be none to extend mercy
+unto him: neither let there be any to
+favour his fatherless children.
+13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in
+the generation following let their name
+be blotted out.
+14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be
+remembered with the LORD; and let not
+the sin of his mother be blotted out.
+15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory
+of them from the earth.
+16 Because that he remembered not to
+66
+
+PSALMS 110–112
+of the poor, to save him from those that
+condemn his soul.
+
+of his works, that he may give them the
+heritage of the heathen.
+7 The works of his hands are verity
+and judgment; all his commandments
+are sure.
+8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and
+are done in truth and uprightness.
+9 He sent redemption unto his people:
+he hath commanded his covenant for
+ever: holy and reverend is his name.
+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.
+
+PSALM 110
+
+T
+
+A Psalm of David.
+
+HE LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
+thou at my right hand, until I make
+thine enemies thy footstool.
+2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy
+strength out of Zion: rule thou in the
+midst of thine enemies.
+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.
+4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not
+repent, Thou art a priest for ever after
+the order of Melchizedek.
+5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike
+through kings in the day of his wrath.
+6 He shall judge among the heathen,
+he shall fill the places with the dead
+bodies; he shall wound the heads over
+many countries.
+7 He shall drink of the brook in the
+way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
+
+PSALM 112
+RAISE ye the LORD. Blessed is the
+man that feareth the LORD, that
+delighteth greatly in his commandments.
+2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
+the generation of the upright shall be
+blessed.
+3 Wealth and riches shall be in his
+house: and his righteousness endureth
+for ever.
+4 Unto the upright there ariseth light
+in the darkness: he is gracious, and full
+of compassion, and righteous.
+5 A good man sheweth favour, and
+lendeth: he will guide his affairs with
+discretion.
+6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
+the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
+7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
+his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
+8 His heart is established, he shall not
+be afraid, until he see his desire upon
+his enemies.
+9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to
+the poor; his righteousness endureth for
+ever; his horn shall be exalted with
+honour.
+10 The wicked shall see it, and be
+grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth,
+
+P
+
+PSALM 111
+RAISE ye the LORD. I will praise
+the LORD with my whole heart, in
+the assembly of the upright, and in the
+congregation.
+2 The works of the LORD are great,
+sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
+3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for
+ever.
+4 He hath made his wonderful works
+to be remembered: the LORD is gracious
+and full of compassion.
+5 He hath given meat unto them that
+fear him: he will ever be mindful of his

+
+PSALM 113
+RAISE ye the LORD. Praise, O ye
+servants of the LORD, praise the
+name of the LORD.
+2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
+from this time forth and for evermore.
+3 From the rising of the sun unto the
+going down of the same the LORD’S
+name is to be praised.
+4 The LORD is high above all nations,
+and his glory above the heavens.
+5 Who is like unto the LORD our God,
+who dwelleth on high,
+6 Who humbleth himself to behold the
+things that are in heaven, and in the
+earth!
+7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
+and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
+8 That he may set him with princes,
+even with the princes of his people.
+9 He maketh the barren woman to keep
+house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
+
+P
+
+PSALM 115
+OT unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
+but unto thy name give glory, for
+thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
+2 Wherefore should the heathen say,
+Where is now their God?
+3 But our God is in the heavens: he
+hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
+4 Their idols are silver and gold, the
+work of men’s hands.
+5 They have mouths, but they speak
+not: eyes have they, but they see not:
+6 They have ears, but they hear not:
+noses have they, but they smell not:
+7 They have hands, but they handle
+not: feet have they, but they walk not:
+neither speak they through their throat.
+8 They that make them are like unto

+HEN Israel went out of Egypt, the
+house of Jacob from a people of
+strange language;
+2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel
+his dominion.
+3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was
+driven back.
+4 The mountains skipped like rams,
+and the little hills like lambs.
+5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou
+fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast
+driven back?
+6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like
+rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
+7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence

+17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
+18 But we will bless the LORD from
+this time forth and for evermore. Praise
+the LORD.
+
+16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I
+am thy servant, and the son of thine
+handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
+17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of
+thanksgiving, and will call upon the
+name of the LORD.
+18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD
+now in the presence of all his people.
+19 In the courts of the LORD’S house,

+
+PSALM 116
+LOVE the LORD, because he hath
+heard my voice and my supplications.
+2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto
+me, therefore will I call upon him as long
+as I live.
+3 The sorrows of death compassed me,
+and the pains of hell gat hold upon me:
+I found trouble and sorrow.
+4 Then called I upon the name of the
+LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver
+my soul.
+5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
+yea, our God is merciful.
+6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I
+was brought low, and he helped me.
+7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for
+the LORD hath dealt bountifully with
+thee.
+8 For thou hast delivered my soul from
+death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet
+from falling.
+9 I will walk before the LORD in the
+land of the living.
+10 I believed, therefore have I spoken:
+I was greatly afflicted:
+11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
+12 What shall I render unto the LORD
+for all his benefits toward me?
+13 I will take the cup of salvation, and
+call upon the name of the LORD.

+O
+
+PSALM 118
+GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for
+he is good: because his mercy
+endureth for ever.

+endureth for ever.
+3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that
+his mercy endureth for ever.
+4 Let them now that fear the LORD say,
+that his mercy endureth for ever.
+5 I called upon the LORD in distress:
+the LORD answered me, and set me in a
+large place.
+6 The LORD is on my side; I will not
+fear: what can man do unto me?
+7 The LORD taketh my part with them
+that help me: therefore shall I see my
+desire upon them that hate me.
+8 It is better to trust in the LORD than
+to put confidence in man.
+9 It is better to trust in the LORD than
+to put confidence in princes.
+10 All nations compassed me about:
+but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
+11 They compassed me about; yea,

+they compassed me about: but in the
+name of the LORD I will destroy them.
+12 They compassed me about like

+will destroy them.
+13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I
+might fall: but the LORD helped me.
+14 The LORD is my strength and song,
+and is become my salvation.
+15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:
+the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
+16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth
+valiantly.
+17 I shall not die, but live, and declare
+the works of the LORD.
+18 The LORD hath chastened me sore:
+but he hath not given me over unto
+death.
+19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will
+praise the LORD:
+20 This gate of the LORD, into which
+the righteous shall enter.
+21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard
+me, and art become my salvation.
+22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the
+corner.
+23 This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
+24 This is the day which the LORD hath
+made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
+25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD:
+O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
+26 Blessed be he that cometh in the
+name of the LORD: we have blessed you
+out of the house of the LORD.

+21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that
+are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
+22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

+to hope.
+50 This is my comfort in my affliction:
+for thy word hath quickened me.
+51 The proud have had me greatly in
+derision: yet have I not declined from
+thy law.
+52 I remembered thy judgments of old,
+O LORD; and have comforted myself.
+53 Horror hath taken hold upon me
+because of the wicked that forsake thy
+law.
+54 Thy statutes have been my songs in
+the house of my pilgrimage.
+55 I have remembered thy name, O
+LORD, in the night, and have kept thy
+law.
+56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
+
+65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
+66 Teach me good judgment and
+knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
+67 Before I was afflicted I went astray:
+but now have I kept thy word.
+68 Thou art good, and doest good;
+teach me thy statutes.
+69 The proud have forged a lie against
+me: but I will keep thy precepts with my
+whole heart.
+70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I
+delight in thy law.
+71 It is good for me that I have been

+77 Let thy tender mercies come unto

+59 I thought on my ways, and turned
+my feet unto thy testimonies.
+60 I made haste, and delayed not to
+keep thy commandments.
+61 The bands of the wicked have
+robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy

+62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks

+83 For I am become like a bottle in the
+smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
+84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment
+on them that persecute me?
+85 The proud have digged pits for me,
+which are not after thy law.
+86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help
+thou me.
+87 They had almost consumed me
+upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
+88 Quicken me after thy
+lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
+
+97 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
+98 Thou through thy commandments
+hast made me wiser than mine enemies:
+for they are ever with me.
+99 I have more understanding than all

+meditation.
+100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
+101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
+102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

+92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in

+93 I will never forget thy precepts: for
+with them thou hast quickened me.
+94 I am thine, save me: for I have
+sought thy precepts.
+95 The wicked have waited for me to
+destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
+96 I have seen an end of all perfection:

+105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

+106 I have sworn, and I will perform

+108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,

+109 My soul is continually in my hand:
+yet do I not forget thy law.
+110 The wicked have laid a snare for

+117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be

+118 Thou hast trodden down all them

+119 Thou puttest away all the wicked
+of the earth like dross: therefore I love
+thy testimonies.
+120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee;
+and I am afraid of thy judgments.
+
+129 Thy testimonies are wonderful:
+therefore doth my soul keep them.
+130 The entrance of thy words giveth

+131 I opened my mouth, and panted:
+for I longed for thy commandments.
+132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto
+those that love thy name.

+be well with thee.
+3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine

+watchman waketh but in vain.
+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.
+3 Lo, children are an heritage of the
+LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his
+reward.
+4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty

+full of them: they shall not be ashamed,

+2 How he sware unto the LORD, and
+vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
+3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my
+bed;
+4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or
+slumber to mine eyelids,
+5 Until I find out a place for the LORD,
+an habitation for the mighty God of
+Jacob.
+6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we
+found it in the fields of the wood.
+7 We will go into his tabernacles: we
+will worship at his footstool.

+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.
+13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he
+hath desired it for his habitation.
+14 This is my rest for ever: here will I
+dwell; for I have desired it.
+15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
+16 I will also clothe her priests with
+salvation: and her saints shall shout
+aloud for joy.
+17 There will I make the horn of David
+to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine

+Y the rivers of Babylon, there we
+sat down, yea, we wept, when we

+captive required of us a song; and they

+
+PSALMS 138, 139
+that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

+5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my
+right hand forget her cunning.
+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.
+7 Remember, O LORD, the children of
+Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said,
+Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation
+thereof.
+8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to
+be destroyed; happy shall he be, that
+rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
+9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and

+PSALM 139

+LORD, thou hast searched me, and
+known me.
+2 Thou knowest my downsitting and

+3 Thou compassest my path and my
+lying down, and art acquainted with all
+my ways.
+4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
+but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
+5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
+6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for
+me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
+7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or
+whither shall I flee from thy presence?
+8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art
+there: if I make my bed in hell, behold,
+thou art there.
+9 If I take the wings of the morning,
+and dwell in the uttermost parts of the

+10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,
+and thy right hand shall hold me.
+11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall
+cover me; even the night shall be light
+about me.
+12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from
+thee; but the night shineth as the day:

+4 All the kings of the earth shall praise
+thee, O LORD, when they hear the words

+5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of

+6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath

+he knoweth afar off.
+7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
+thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch
+forth thine hand against the wrath of

+
+PSALMS 140, 141
+14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully
+and wonderfully made: marvellous are
+thy works; and that my soul knoweth
+right well.
+15 My substance was not hid from
+thee, when I was made in secret, and
+curiously wrought in the lowest parts of
+the earth.
+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.
+17 How precious also are thy thoughts
+unto me, O God! how great is the sum
+of them!
+18 If I should count them, they are
+more in number than the sand: when I
+awake, I am still with thee.
+19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O
+God: depart from me therefore, ye
+bloody men.
+20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name
+in vain.
+21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that
+hate thee? and am not I grieved with
+those that rise up against thee?
+22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I
+count them mine enemies.
+23 Search me, O God, and know my
+heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
+24 And see if there be any wicked way
+in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
+
+3 They have sharpened their tongues
+like a serpent; adders’ poison is under
+their lips. Selah.
+4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands
+of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to
+overthrow my goings.
+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.

+6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my
+God: hear the voice of my supplications,
+O LORD.
+7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my
+salvation, thou hast covered my head in

+8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of

+9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their
+own lips cover them.
+10 Let burning coals fall upon them:
+let them be cast into the fire; into deep
+pits, that they rise not up again.
+11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the
+violent man to overthrow him.

+5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall
+be a kindness: and let him reprove me;

+3 For the enemy hath persecuted my

+in darkness, as those that have been long
+dead.
+4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed
+within me; my heart within me is desolate.
+5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work

+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

+cause me to know the way wherein I

+RAISE ye the LORD. Praise the
+LORD, O my soul.
+2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I
+will sing praises unto my God while I
+have any being.
+3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in
+the son of man, in whom there is no help.
+4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth
+to his earth; in that very day his thoughts
+perish.
+5 Happy is he that hath the God of
+Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
+LORD his God:

+the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the
+legs of a man.
+11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them
+that fear him, in those that hope in his
+mercy.
+12 Praise the L ORD, O Jerusalem;
+praise thy God, O Zion.
+13 For he hath strengthened the bars
+of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
+14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and
+filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
+15 He sendeth forth his commandment
+upon earth: his word runneth very
+swiftly.
+16 He giveth snow like wool: he
+scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
+17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
+18 He sendeth out his word, and
+melteth them: he causeth his wind to
+blow, and the waters flow.
+19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob,
+his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
+20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have
+not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
+
+and ever: he hath made a decree which
+shall not pass.
+7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye
+dragons, and all deeps:
+8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours;
+stormy wind fulfilling his word:
+9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees,
+and all cedars:
+10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping
+things, and flying fowl:
+11 Kings of the earth, and all people;
+princes, and all judges of the earth:
+12 Both young men, and maidens; old
+men, and children:
+13 Let them praise the name of the
+LORD: for his name alone is excellent;
+his glory is above the earth and heaven.
+14 He also exalteth the horn of his
+people, the praise of all his saints; even
+of the children of Israel, a people near
+unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
+PSALM 149
+RAISE ye the LORD. Sing unto the
+LORD a new song, and his praise
+in the congregation of saints.
+2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made
+him: let the children of Zion be joyful
+in their King.
+3 Let them praise his name in the
+dance: let them sing praises unto him
+with the timbrel and harp.
+4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his
+people: he will beautify the meek with
+salvation.
+5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let
+them sing aloud upon their beds.
+6 Let the high praises of God be in their
+mouth, and a two–edged sword in their
+hand;
+7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
+8 To bind their kings with chains, and
+their nobles with fetters of iron;

+3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise
+him, all ye stars of light.
+4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,
+and ye waters that be above the heavens.
+5 Let them praise the name of the
+LORD: for he commanded, and they
+were created.
+6 He hath also stablished them for ever
