| 76:1: |
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. |
| 76:2: |
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. |
| 76:3: |
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and
the battle. Selah. |
| 76:4: |
Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. |
| 76:5: |
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none
of the men of might have found their hands. |
| 76:6: |
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast
into a dead sleep. |
| 76:7: |
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight
when once thou art angry? |
| 76:8: |
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared,
and was still, |
| 76:9: |
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
Selah. |
| 76:10: |
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath
shalt thou restrain. |
| 76:11: |
Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him
bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. |
| 76:12: |
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings
of the earth. |
|
|
| 77:1: |
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he
gave ear unto me. |
| 77:2: |
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night,
and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. |
| 77:3: |
I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was
overwhelmed. Selah. |
| 77:4: |
Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot
speak. |
| 77:5: |
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. |
| 77:6: |
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own
heart: and my spirit made diligent search. |
| 77:7: |
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no
more? |
| 77:8: |
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for
evermore? |
| 77:9: |
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his
tender mercies? Selah. |
| 77:10: |
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of
the right hand of the most High. |
| 77:11: |
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy
wonders of old. |
| 77:12: |
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. |
| 77:13: |
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our
God? |
| 77:14: |
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength
among the people. |
| 77:15: |
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. Selah. |
| 77:16: |
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:
the depths also were troubled. |
| 77:17: |
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows
also went abroad. |
| 77:18: |
The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened
the world: the earth trembled and shook. |
| 77:19: |
Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy
footsteps are not known. |
| 77:20: |
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and
Aaron. |
|
|
| 78:1: |
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of
my mouth. |
| 78:2: |
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of
old: |
| 78:3: |
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. |
| 78:4: |
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation
to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful
works that he hath done. |
| 78:5: |
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in
Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known
to their children: |
| 78:6: |
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which
should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: |
| 78:7: |
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of
God, but keep his commandments: |
| 78:8: |
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious
generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose
spirit was not stedfast with God. |
| 78:9: |
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back
in the day of battle. |
| 78:10: |
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
law; |
| 78:11: |
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. |
| 78:12: |
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land
of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. |
| 78:13: |
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the
waters to stand as an heap. |
| 78:14: |
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with
a light of fire. |
| 78:15: |
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of
the great depths. |
| 78:16: |
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run
down like rivers. |
| 78:17: |
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in
the wilderness. |
| 78:18: |
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their
lust. |
| 78:19: |
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in
the wilderness? |
| 78:20: |
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the
streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his
people? |
| 78:21: |
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled
against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; |
| 78:22: |
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his
salvation: |
| 78:23: |
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors
of heaven, |
| 78:24: |
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the
corn of heaven. |
| 78:25: |
Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. |
| 78:26: |
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he
brought in the south wind. |
| 78:27: |
He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as
the sand of the sea: |
| 78:28: |
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their
habitations. |
| 78:29: |
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own
desire; |
| 78:30: |
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet
in their mouths, |
| 78:31: |
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and
smote down the chosen men of Israel. |
| 78:32: |
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous
works. |
| 78:33: |
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in
trouble. |
| 78:34: |
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and
enquired early after God. |
| 78:35: |
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their
redeemer. |
| 78:36: |
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied
unto him with their tongues. |
| 78:37: |
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in
his covenant. |
| 78:38: |
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. |
| 78:39: |
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away,
and cometh not again. |
| 78:40: |
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the
desert! |
| 78:41: |
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of
Israel. |
| 78:42: |
They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from
the enemy. |
| 78:43: |
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field
of Zoan: |
| 78:44: |
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they
could not drink. |
| 78:45: |
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and
frogs, which destroyed them. |
| 78:46: |
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour
unto the locust. |
| 78:47: |
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with
frost. |
| 78:48: |
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot
thunderbolts. |
| 78:49: |
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. |
| 78:50: |
He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but
gave their life over to the pestilence; |
| 78:51: |
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in
the tabernacles of Ham: |
| 78:52: |
But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in
the wilderness like a flock. |
| 78:53: |
And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies. |
| 78:54: |
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this
mountain, which his right hand had purchased. |
| 78:55: |
He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their
tents. |
| 78:56: |
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his
testimonies: |
| 78:57: |
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were
turned aside like a deceitful bow. |
| 78:58: |
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him
to jealousy with their graven images. |
| 78:59: |
When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: |
| 78:60: |
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed
among men; |
| 78:61: |
And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the
enemy's hand. |
| 78:62: |
He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his
inheritance. |
| 78:63: |
The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given
to marriage. |
| 78:64: |
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
lamentation. |
| 78:65: |
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that
shouteth by reason of wine. |
| 78:66: |
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach. |
| 78:67: |
Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe
of Ephraim: |
| 78:68: |
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. |
| 78:69: |
And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he
hath established for ever. |
| 78:70: |
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds: |
| 78:71: |
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob
his people, and Israel his inheritance. |
| 78:72: |
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided
them by the skilfulness of his hands. |
|
|
| 79:1: |
O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple
have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. |
| 79:2: |
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the
fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the
earth. |
| 79:3: |
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
there was none to bury them. |
| 79:4: |
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to
them that are round about us. |
| 79:5: |
How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn
like fire? |
| 79:6: |
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and
upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. |
| 79:7: |
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. |
| 79:8: |
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies
speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. |
| 79:9: |
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. |
| 79:10: |
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. |
| 79:11: |
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the
greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to
die; |
| 79:12: |
And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. |
| 79:13: |
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for
ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. |
|
|
| 80:1: |
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a
flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
| 80:2: |
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and
come and save us. |
| 80:3: |
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved. |
| 80:4: |
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer
of thy people? |
| 80:5: |
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
drink in great measure. |
| 80:6: |
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh
among themselves. |
| 80:7: |
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved. |
| 80:8: |
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it. |
| 80:9: |
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
and it filled the land. |
| 80:10: |
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like the goodly cedars. |
| 80:11: |
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the
river. |
| 80:12: |
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which
pass by the way do pluck her? |
| 80:13: |
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the
field doth devour it. |
| 80:14: |
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and
behold, and visit this vine; |
| 80:15: |
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch
that thou madest strong for thyself. |
| 80:16: |
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of
thy countenance. |
| 80:17: |
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
whom thou madest strong for thyself. |
| 80:18: |
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon
thy name. |
| 80:19: |
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved. |
|
|
| 81:1: |
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of
Jacob. |
| 81:2: |
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with
the psaltery. |
| 81:3: |
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our
solemn feast day. |
| 81:4: |
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of
Jacob. |
| 81:5: |
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through
the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. |
| 81:6: |
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from
the pots. |
| 81:7: |
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in
the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.
Selah. |
| 81:8: |
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou
wilt hearken unto me; |
| 81:9: |
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any
strange god. |
| 81:10: |
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 81:11: |
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of
me. |
| 81:12: |
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in
their own counsels. |
| 81:13: |
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my
ways! |
| 81:14: |
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against
their adversaries. |
| 81:15: |
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but
their time should have endured for ever. |
| 81:16: |
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with
honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. |
|
|
| 82:1: |
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the
gods. |
| 82:2: |
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah. |
| 82:3: |
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and
needy. |
| 82:4: |
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
wicked. |
| 82:5: |
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. |
| 82:6: |
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most
High. |
| 82:7: |
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. |
| 82:8: |
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
nations. |
|
|
| 83:1: |
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O
God. |
| 83:2: |
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head. |
| 83:3: |
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones. |
| 83:4: |
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
| 83:5: |
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee: |
| 83:6: |
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes; |
| 83:7: |
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of
Tyre; |
| 83:8: |
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot.
Selah. |
| 83:9: |
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at
the brook of Kison: |
| 83:10: |
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. |
| 83:11: |
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as
Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
| 83:12: |
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession. |
| 83:13: |
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
wind. |
| 83:14: |
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on
fire; |
| 83:15: |
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy
storm. |
| 83:16: |
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
LORD. |
| 83:17: |
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to
shame, and perish: |
| 83:18: |
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the
most high over all the earth. |
|
|
| 84:1: |
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! |
| 84:2: |
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my
heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. |
| 84:3: |
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts,
my King, and my God. |
| 84:4: |
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising
thee. Selah. |
| 84:5: |
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the
ways of them. |
| 84:6: |
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also
filleth the pools. |
| 84:7: |
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion
appeareth before God. |
| 84:8: |
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah. |
| 84:9: |
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
anointed. |
| 84:10: |
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of
wickedness. |
| 84:11: |
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and
glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
| 84:12: |
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. |
|
|
| 85:1: |
LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back
the captivity of Jacob. |
| 85:2: |
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all
their sin. Selah. |
| 85:3: |
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the
fierceness of thine anger. |
| 85:4: |
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to
cease. |
| 85:5: |
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger
to all generations? |
| 85:6: |
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee? |
| 85:7: |
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. |
| 85:8: |
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace
unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to
folly. |
| 85:9: |
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell
in our land. |
| 85:10: |
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed
each other. |
| 85:11: |
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look
down from heaven. |
| 85:12: |
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield
her increase. |
| 85:13: |
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his
steps. |
|
|
| 86:1: |
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. |
| 86:2: |
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that
trusteth in thee. |
| 86:3: |
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. |
| 86:4: |
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up
my soul. |
| 86:5: |
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in
mercy unto all them that call upon thee. |
| 86:6: |
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications. |
| 86:7: |
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer
me. |
| 86:8: |
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are
there any works like unto thy works. |
| 86:9: |
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O
Lord; and shall glorify thy name. |
| 86:10: |
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
alone. |
| 86:11: |
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to
fear thy name. |
| 86:12: |
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore. |
| 86:13: |
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul
from the lowest hell. |
| 86:14: |
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent
men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. |
| 86:15: |
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. |
| 86:16: |
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy
servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. |
| 86:17: |
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. |
|
|
| 87:1: |
His foundation is in the holy mountains. |
| 87:2: |
The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of
Jacob. |
| 87:3: |
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. |
| 87:4: |
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold
Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. |
| 87:5: |
And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and
the highest himself shall establish her. |
| 87:6: |
The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man
was born there. Selah. |
| 87:7: |
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all
my springs are in thee. |
|
|
| 88:1: |
O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
thee: |
| 88:2: |
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; |
| 88:3: |
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the
grave. |
| 88:4: |
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that
hath no strength: |
| 88:5: |
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou
rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. |
| 88:6: |
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. |
| 88:7: |
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy
waves. Selah. |
| 88:8: |
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me
an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
| 88:9: |
Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily
upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
| 88:10: |
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise
thee? Selah. |
| 88:11: |
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction? |
| 88:12: |
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the
land of forgetfulness? |
| 88:13: |
But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my
prayer prevent thee. |
| 88:14: |
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from
me? |
| 88:15: |
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy
terrors I am distracted. |
| 88:16: |
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
| 88:17: |
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about
together. |
| 88:18: |
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance
into darkness. |
|
|
| 89:1: |
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I
make known thy faithfulness to all generations. |
| 89:2: |
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness
shalt thou establish in the very heavens. |
| 89:3: |
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my
servant, |
| 89:4: |
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all
generations. Selah. |
| 89:5: |
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness
also in the congregation of the saints. |
| 89:6: |
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the
sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? |
| 89:7: |
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. |
| 89:8: |
O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy
faithfulness round about thee? |
| 89:9: |
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou
stillest them. |
| 89:10: |
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast
scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. |
| 89:11: |
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and
the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
| 89:12: |
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon
shall rejoice in thy name. |
| 89:13: |
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right
hand. |
| 89:14: |
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and
truth shall go before thy face. |
| 89:15: |
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O
LORD, in the light of thy countenance. |
| 89:16: |
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness
shall they be exalted. |
| 89:17: |
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn
shall be exalted. |
| 89:18: |
For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our
king. |
| 89:19: |
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. |
| 89:20: |
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed
him: |
| 89:21: |
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
strengthen him. |
| 89:22: |
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict
him. |
| 89:23: |
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that
hate him. |
| 89:24: |
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name
shall his horn be exalted. |
| 89:25: |
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers. |
| 89:26: |
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my
salvation. |
| 89:27: |
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the
earth. |
| 89:28: |
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall
stand fast with him. |
| 89:29: |
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the
days of heaven. |
| 89:30: |
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; |
| 89:31: |
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
| 89:32: |
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their
iniquity with stripes. |
| 89:33: |
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor
suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
| 89:34: |
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of
my lips. |
| 89:35: |
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. |
| 89:36: |
His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before
me. |
| 89:37: |
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful
witness in heaven. Selah. |
| 89:38: |
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine
anointed. |
| 89:39: |
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned
his crown by casting it to the ground. |
| 89:40: |
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong
holds to ruin. |
| 89:41: |
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his
neighbours. |
| 89:42: |
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made
all his enemies to rejoice. |
| 89:43: |
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to
stand in the battle. |
| 89:44: |
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the
ground. |
| 89:45: |
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with
shame. Selah. |
| 89:46: |
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn
like fire? |
| 89:47: |
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in
vain? |
| 89:48: |
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver
his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. |
| 89:49: |
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto
David in thy truth? |
| 89:50: |
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my
bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; |
| 89:51: |
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have
reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
| 89:52: |
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
|
|
| 90:1: |
LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. |
| 90:2: |
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
God. |
| 90:3: |
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of
men. |
| 90:4: |
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is
past, and as a watch in the night. |
| 90:5: |
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up. |
| 90:6: |
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is
cut down, and withereth. |
| 90:7: |
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled. |
| 90:8: |
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the
light of thy countenance. |
| 90:9: |
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as
a tale that is told. |
| 90:10: |
The days of our years are 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. |
| 90:11: |
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so
is thy wrath. |
| 90:12: |
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom. |
| 90:13: |
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants. |
| 90:14: |
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad
all our days. |
| 90:15: |
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
and the years wherein we have seen evil. |
| 90:16: |
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children. |
| 90:17: |
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou
the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou
it. |
|
|
| 91:1: |
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. |
| 91:2: |
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in
him will I trust. |
| 91:3: |
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from
the noisome pestilence. |
| 91:4: |
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou
trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. |
| 91:5: |
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow
that flieth by day; |
| 91:6: |
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday. |
| 91:7: |
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; bu hall not come nigh thee. |
| 91:8: |
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked. |
| 91:9: |
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation; |
| 91:10: |
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh
thy dwelling. |
| 91:11: |
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all
thy ways. |
| 91:12: |
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone. |
| 91:13: |
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet. |
| 91:14: |
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I
will set him on high, because he hath known my name. |
| 91:15: |
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in
trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. |
| 91:16: |
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. |
|
|
| 92:1: |
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises
unto thy name, O most High: |
| 92:2: |
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness
every night, |
| 92:3: |
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the
harp with a solemn sound. |
| 92:4: |
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in
the works of thy hands. |
| 92:5: |
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
| 92:6: |
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
| 92:7: |
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of
iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
| 92:8: |
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
| 92:9: |
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| 92:10: |
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be
anointed with fresh oil. |
| 92:11: |
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. |
| 92:12: |
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a
cedar in Lebanon. |
| 92:13: |
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the
courts of our God. |
| 92:14: |
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and
flourishing; |
| 92:15: |
To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no
unrighteousness in him. |
|
|
| 93:1: |
The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed
with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is
stablished, that it cannot be moved. |
| 93:2: |
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. |
| 93:3: |
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their
voice; the floods lift up their waves. |
| 93:4: |
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than
the mighty waves of the sea. |
| 93:5: |
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD,
for ever. |
|
|
| 94:1: |
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance
belongeth, shew thyself. |
| 94:2: |
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the
proud. |
| 94:3: |
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
triumph? |
| 94:4: |
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers
of iniquity boast themselves? |
| 94:5: |
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
heritage. |
| 94:6: |
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
| 94:7: |
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob
regard it. |
| 94:8: |
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye
be wise? |
| 94:9: |
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye,
shall he not see? |
| 94:10: |
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that
teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
| 94:11: |
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
| 94:12: |
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out
of thy law; |
| 94:13: |
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the
pit be digged for the wicked. |
| 94:14: |
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake
his inheritance. |
| 94:15: |
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in
heart shall follow it. |
| 94:16: |
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up
for me against the workers of iniquity? |
| 94:17: |
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
silence. |
| 94:18: |
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. |
| 94:19: |
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my
soul. |
| 94:20: |
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth
mischief by a law? |
| 94:21: |
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood. |
| 94:22: |
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. |
| 94:23: |
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. |
|
|
| 95:1: |
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation. |
| 95:2: |
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful
noise unto him with psalms. |
| 95:3: |
For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. |
| 95:4: |
In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the
hills is his also. |
| 95:5: |
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry
land. |
| 95:6: |
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our
maker. |
| 95:7: |
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, |
| 95:8: |
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of
temptation in the wilderness: |
| 95:9: |
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. |
| 95:10: |
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is
a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my
ways: |
| 95:11: |
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my
rest. |
|
|
| 96:1: |
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the
earth. |
| 96:2: |
Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day
to day. |
| 96:3: |
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
people. |
| 96:4: |
For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared
above all gods. |
| 96:5: |
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the
heavens. |
| 96:6: |
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his
sanctuary. |
| 96:7: |
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD
glory and strength. |
| 96:8: |
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering,
and come into his courts. |
| 96:9: |
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all
the earth. |
| 96:10: |
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be
established tha hall not be moved: he shall judge the people
righteously. |
| 96:11: |
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar,
and the fulness thereof. |
| 96:12: |
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the
trees of the wood rejoice |
| 96:13: |
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. |
|
|
| 97:1: |
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles
be glad thereof. |
| 97:2: |
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment
are the habitation of his throne. |
| 97:3: |
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. |
| 97:4: |
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
trembled. |
| 97:5: |
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the
presence of the Lord of the whole earth. |
| 97:6: |
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his
glory. |
| 97:7: |
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. |
| 97:8: |
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because
of thy judgments, O LORD. |
| 97:9: |
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far
above all gods. |
| 97:10: |
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his
saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. |
| 97:11: |
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in
heart. |
| 97:12: |
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance
of his holiness. |
|
|
| 98:1: |
O 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. |
| 98:2: |
The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he
openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. |
| 98:3: |
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. |
| 98:4: |
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise,
and rejoice, and sing praise. |
| 98:5: |
Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a
psalm. |
| 98:6: |
With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the
LORD, the King. |
| 98:7: |
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that
dwell therein. |
| 98:8: |
Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful
together |
| 98:9: |
Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness
shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. |
|
|
| 99:1: |
The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the
cherubims; let the earth be moved. |
| 99:2: |
The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. |
| 99:3: |
Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. |
| 99:4: |
The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish
equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. |
| 99:5: |
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is
holy. |
| 99:6: |
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call
upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. |
| 99:7: |
He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies,
and the ordinance that he gave them. |
| 99:8: |
Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest
them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. |
| 99:9: |
Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD
our God is holy. |
|
|
| 100:1: |
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. |
| 100:2: |
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with
singing. |
| 100:3: |
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. |
| 100:4: |
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. |
| 100:5: |
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth to all generations. |
|
|
| 101:1: |
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I
sing. |
| 101:2: |
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come
unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. |
| 101:3: |
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them
that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. |
| 101:4: |
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
person. |
| 101:5: |
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that
hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. |
| 101:6: |
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell
with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. |
| 101:7: |
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. |
| 101:8: |
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off
all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. |
|
|
| 102:1: |
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. |
| 102:2: |
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline
thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. |
| 102:3: |
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an
hearth. |
| 102:4: |
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat
my bread. |
| 102:5: |
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
skin. |
| 102:6: |
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
desert. |
| 102:7: |
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. |
| 102:8: |
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against
me are sworn against me. |
| 102:9: |
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping, |
| 102:10: |
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me
up, and cast me down. |
| 102:11: |
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like
grass. |
| 102:12: |
But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all
generations. |
| 102:13: |
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour
her, yea, the set time, is come. |
| 102:14: |
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust
thereof. |
| 102:15: |
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of
the earth thy glory. |
| 102:16: |
When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. |
| 102:17: |
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their
prayer. |
| 102:18: |
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people
which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
| 102:19: |
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven
did the LORD behold the earth; |
| 102:20: |
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
appointed to death; |
| 102:21: |
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
Jerusalem; |
| 102:22: |
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the
LORD. |
| 102:23: |
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. |
| 102:24: |
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years
are throughout all generations. |
| 102:25: |
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens
are the work of thy hands. |
| 102:26: |
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax
old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall
be changed: |
| 102:27: |
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. |
| 102:28: |
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be
established before thee. |
|
|
| 103:1: |
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy
name. |
| 103:2: |
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: |
| 103:3: |
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases; |
| 103:4: |
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
| 103:5: |
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's. |
| 103:6: |
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed. |
| 103:7: |
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel. |
| 103:8: |
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy. |
| 103:9: |
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for
ever. |
| 103:10: |
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according
to our iniquities. |
| 103:11: |
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. |
| 103:12: |
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us. |
| 103:13: |
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him. |
| 103:14: |
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. |
| 103:15: |
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth. |
| 103:16: |
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
shall know it no more. |
| 103:17: |
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
children; |
| 103:18: |
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them. |
| 103:19: |
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom
ruleth over all. |
| 103:20: |
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
| 103:21: |
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure. |
| 103:22: |
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless
the LORD, O my soul. |
|
|
| 104:1: |
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou
art clothed with honour and majesty. |
| 104:2: |
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out
the heavens like a curtain: |
| 104:3: |
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the
clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: |
| 104:4: |
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: |
| 104:5: |
Who laid the foundations of the earth, tha hould not be removed
for ever. |
| 104:6: |
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood
above the mountains. |
| 104:7: |
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted
away. |
| 104:8: |
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the
place which thou hast founded for them. |
| 104:9: |
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not
again to cover the earth. |
| 104:10: |
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the
hills. |
| 104:11: |
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench
their thirst. |
| 104:12: |
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which
sing among the branches. |
| 104:13: |
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with
the fruit of thy works. |
| 104:14: |
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service
of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; |
| 104:15: |
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face
to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. |
| 104:16: |
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which
he hath planted; |
| 104:17: |
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are
her house. |
| 104:18: |
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the
conies. |
| 104:19: |
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
down. |
| 104:20: |
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the
forest do creep forth. |
| 104:21: |
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from
God. |
| 104:22: |
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down
in their dens. |
| 104:23: |
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the
evening. |
| 104:24: |
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them
all: the earth is full of thy riches. |
| 104:25: |
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping
innumerable, both small and great beasts. |
| 104:26: |
There go the shi there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play
therein. |
| 104:27: |
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in
due season. |
| 104:28: |
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are
filled with good. |
| 104:29: |
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their
breath, they die, and return to their dust. |
| 104:30: |
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest
the face of the earth. |
| 104:31: |
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice
in his works. |
| 104:32: |
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and
they smoke. |
| 104:33: |
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my
God while I have my being. |
| 104:34: |
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. |
| 104:35: |
Let 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. |
|
|
| 105:1: |
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds
among the people. |
| 105:2: |
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous
works. |
| 105:3: |
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek
the LORD. |
| 105:4: |
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. |
| 105:5: |
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth; |
| 105:6: |
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his
chosen. |
| 105:7: |
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
| 105:8: |
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded
to a thousand generations. |
| 105:9: |
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; |
| 105:10: |
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant: |
| 105:11: |
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance: |
| 105:12: |
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers
in it. |
| 105:13: |
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to
another people; |
| 105:14: |
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes; |
| 105:15: |
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
| 105:16: |
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole
staff of bread. |
| 105:17: |
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a
servant: |
| 105:18: |
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
| 105:19: |
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried
him. |
| 105:20: |
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let
him go free. |
| 105:21: |
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: |
| 105:22: |
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
wisdom. |
| 105:23: |
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of
Ham. |
| 105:24: |
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than
their enemies. |
| 105:25: |
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his
servants. |
| 105:26: |
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. |
| 105:27: |
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of
Ham. |
| 105:28: |
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his
word. |
| 105:29: |
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. |
| 105:30: |
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their
kings. |
| 105:31: |
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts. |
| 105:32: |
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. |
| 105:33: |
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of
their coasts. |
| 105:34: |
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without
number, |
| 105:35: |
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of
their ground. |
| 105:36: |
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their
strength. |
| 105:37: |
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not
one feeble person among their tribes. |
| 105:38: |
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon
them. |
| 105:39: |
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the
night. |
| 105:40: |
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the
bread of heaven. |
| 105:41: |
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry
places like a river. |
| 105:42: |
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
| 105:43: |
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with
gladness: |
| 105:44: |
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour
of the people; |
| 105:45: |
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye
the LORD. |
|
|
| 106:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for
his mercy endureth for ever. |
| 106:2: |
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his
praise? |
| 106:3: |
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness
at all times. |
| 106:4: |
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy
people: O visit me with thy salvation; |
| 106:5: |
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the
gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. |
| 106:6: |
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have
done wickedly. |
| 106:7: |
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not
the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the
Red sea. |
| 106:8: |
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might
make his mighty power to be known. |
| 106:9: |
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them
through the depths, as through the wilderness. |
| 106:10: |
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed
them from the hand of the enemy. |
| 106:11: |
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. |
| 106:12: |
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. |
| 106:13: |
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: |
| 106:14: |
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the
desert. |
| 106:15: |
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their
soul. |
| 106:16: |
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the
LORD. |
| 106:17: |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of
Abiram. |
| 106:18: |
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the
wicked. |
| 106:19: |
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. |
| 106:20: |
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that
eateth grass. |
| 106:21: |
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in
Egypt; |
| 106:22: |
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red
sea. |
| 106:23: |
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he
should destroy them. |
| 106:24: |
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his
word: |
| 106:25: |
But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the
LORD. |
| 106:26: |
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in
the wilderness: |
| 106:27: |
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them
in the lands. |
| 106:28: |
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of
the dead. |
| 106:29: |
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague
brake in upon them. |
| 106:30: |
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was
stayed. |
| 106:31: |
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations
for evermore. |
| 106:32: |
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill
with Moses for their sakes: |
| 106:33: |
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with
his lips. |
| 106:34: |
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded
them: |
| 106:35: |
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. |
| 106:36: |
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. |
| 106:37: |
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, |
| 106:38: |
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land
was polluted with blood. |
| 106:39: |
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with
their own inventions. |
| 106:40: |
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. |
| 106:41: |
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated
them ruled over them. |
| 106:42: |
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into
subjection under their hand. |
| 106:43: |
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their
counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. |
| 106:44: |
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their
cry: |
| 106:45: |
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to
the multitude of his mercies. |
| 106:46: |
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives. |
| 106:47: |
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to
give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. |
| 106:48: |
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. |
|
|
| 107:1: |
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth
for ever. |
| 107:2: |
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the
hand of the enemy; |
| 107:3: |
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,
from the north, and from the south. |
| 107:4: |
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city
to dwell in. |
| 107:5: |
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. |
| 107:6: |
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them
out of their distresses. |
| 107:7: |
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city
of habitation. |
| 107:8: |
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 107:9: |
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with
goodness. |
| 107:10: |
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in
affliction and iron; |
| 107:11: |
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the
counsel of the most High: |
| 107:12: |
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down,
and there was none to help. |
| 107:13: |
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out
of their distresses. |
| 107:14: |
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake
their bands in sunder. |
| 107:15: |
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 107:16: |
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in
sunder. |
| 107:17: |
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their
iniquities, are afflicted. |
| 107:18: |
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the
gates of death. |
| 107:19: |
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out
of their distresses. |
| 107:20: |
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions. |
| 107:21: |
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 107:22: |
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare
his works with rejoicing. |
| 107:23: |
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great
waters; |
| 107:24: |
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. |
| 107:25: |
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the
waves thereof. |
| 107:26: |
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their
soul is melted because of trouble. |
| 107:27: |
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at
their wits' end. |
| 107:28: |
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them
out of their distresses. |
| 107:29: |
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. |
| 107:30: |
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto
their desired haven. |
| 107:31: |
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men! |
| 107:32: |
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise
him in the assembly of the elders. |
| 107:33: |
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry
ground; |
| 107:34: |
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that
dwell therein. |
| 107:35: |
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into
watersprings. |
| 107:36: |
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city
for habitation; |
| 107:37: |
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of
increase. |
| 107:38: |
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and
suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
| 107:39: |
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression,
affliction, and sorrow. |
| 107:40: |
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the
wilderness, where there is no way. |
| 107:41: |
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him
families like a flock. |
| 107:42: |
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop
her mouth. |
| 107:43: |
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall
understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
|
|
| 108:1: |
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my
glory. |
| 108:2: |
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
| 108:3: |
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises
unto thee among the nations. |
| 108:4: |
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto
the clouds. |
| 108:5: |
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all
the earth; |
| 108:6: |
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and
answer me. |
| 108:7: |
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
| 108:8: |
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of
mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
| 108:9: |
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia
will I triumph. |
| 108:10: |
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom? |
| 108:11: |
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God,
go forth with our hosts? |
| 108:12: |
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
| 108:13: |
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies. |
|
|
| 109:1: |
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; |
| 109:2: |
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened
against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. |
| 109:3: |
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against
me without a cause. |
| 109:4: |
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto
prayer. |
| 109:5: |
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. |
| 109:6: |
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right
hand. |
| 109:7: |
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer
become sin. |
| 109:8: |
Let his days be few; and let another take his office. |
| 109:9: |
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. |
| 109:10: |
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek
their bread also out of their desolate places. |
| 109:11: |
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers
spoil his labour. |
| 109:12: |
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any
to favour his fatherless children. |
| 109:13: |
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let
their name be blotted out. |
| 109:14: |
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let
not the sin of his mother be blotted out. |
| 109:15: |
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the
memory of them from the earth. |
| 109:16: |
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor
and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. |
| 109:17: |
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in
blessing, so let it be far from him. |
| 109:18: |
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let
it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. |
| 109:19: |
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a
girdle wherewith he is girded continually. |
| 109:20: |
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them
that speak evil against my soul. |
| 109:21: |
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because
thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. |
| 109:22: |
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. |
| 109:23: |
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down
as the locust. |
| 109:24: |
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of
fatness. |
| 109:25: |
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they
shaked their heads. |
| 109:26: |
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: |
| 109:27: |
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done
it. |
| 109:28: |
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed;
but let thy servant rejoice. |
| 109:29: |
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. |
| 109:30: |
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him
among the multitude. |
| 109:31: |
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from
those that condemn his soul. |
|
|
| 110:1: |
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool. |
| 110:2: |
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in
the midst of thine enemies. |
| 110:3: |
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties
of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy
youth. |
| 110:4: |
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek. |
| 110:5: |
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of
his wrath. |
| 110:6: |
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the
dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. |
| 110:7: |
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up
the head. |
|
|
| 111:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in
the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. |
| 111:2: |
The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have
pleasure therein. |
| 111:3: |
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth
for ever. |
| 111:4: |
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is
gracious and full of compassion. |
| 111:5: |
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful
of his covenant. |
| 111:6: |
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give
them the heritage of the heathen. |
| 111:7: |
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments
are sure. |
| 111:8: |
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and
uprightness. |
| 111:9: |
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant
for ever: holy and reverend is his name. |
| 111:10: |
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding
have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for
ever. |
|
|
| 112:1: |
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that
delighteth greatly in his commandments. |
| 112:2: |
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright
shall be blessed. |
| 112:3: |
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness
endureth for ever. |
| 112:4: |
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious,
and full of compassion, and righteous. |
| 112:5: |
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs
with discretion. |
| 112:6: |
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in
everlasting remembrance. |
| 112:7: |
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting
in the LORD. |
| 112:8: |
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his
desire upon his enemies. |
| 112:9: |
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness
endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. |
| 112:10: |
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his
teeth, and melt away: the |
