1 Scroll 12 Psalms. [Part 1].
Blessed is the man that not walks in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers!
2 But in the Law of the LORD is his delight;
and in His Law does he meditate day and night.
3
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in season;
its leaf also shall not wither;
and whatever he does shall prosper.
4
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the Congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
1 Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples imagine vain things? Act 4:25
2 The kings of the Earth stood up,
and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD,
and against His Messiah, Act 4:26
3 let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
4
He who sits in the Heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak to them in His wrath,
and trouble them in His sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set My King upon My Holy Mount of Zion.
7
I will declare the decree: the LORD has said to Me,
Thou are My Son, this day have I begotten Thee. Act 13:33
8 Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thy inheritance,
and the ends of the Earth for Thy possession.
9 Thou shall shepherd them with a rod of iron;
Thou shall dash them in shivers like a potter's vessel. Rev 2:27
10
Be wise now therefore, 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!
1 (Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son).
LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me?
Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there are who say of my soul,
There is no Salvation for him in GOD. (Selah).
3 But Thou, LORD, are a Shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 With my voice I cried to the LORD,
and He replied me from His Holy Mount. (Selah).
5 I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of myriads of people,
that have set themselves against me on all sides.
7 Arise, LORD; save me, my God:
for Thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 To the LORD belongs Salvation:
and Thy blessing is upon Thy people. (Selah).
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm of David).
Reply me when I call, God of my righteousness:
Thou have enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Ye sons of men, until when will ye turn My glory into shame?
Until when will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah).
3 But know that the LORD has set apart the Saint for Himself:
The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
4 Be ye angry, and sin not: Eph 4:26
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 are many that say, Who will show us any good?
Lift Thou upon us the light of Thy countenance, LORD.
7 Thou have put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time when their grain and their new wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep;
for Thou only, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, Psalm of David).
To my words, Give ear, LORD,
consider my meditation.
2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:
for to Thee will I pray.
3 LORD, Thou shall hear my voice in the morning;
in the morning will I direct my prayer to Thee, and will look up.
4 For Thou are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with Thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in Thy sight:
Thou hate all workers of lawlessness.
6 Thou shall destroy them that speak falsehood:
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 towards Thy Holy Temple.
8 Lead me, LORD, in Thy righteousness,
because of my 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 with their tongues they have used deceit. Rom 3:13
10 Destroy Thou them, 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 defend them:
let them also that love Thy Name be joyful in Thee.
12 For Thou, LORD, will bless the righteous;
with favour as a shield will Thou surround him.
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, Psalm of David).
LORD, rebuke me not in Thy anger,
neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, LORD; for I am weak:
LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3
My soul is also greatly vexed:
but Thou, LORD, until when?
4 Return, LORD, deliver my soul:
save me for Thy mercy' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee:
in Sheol who will give Thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
all the night I make my bedstead to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is consumed because of grief;
it grows old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from Me, all ye workers of lawlessness. Mat 7:23 Luk 13:27
For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my supplication;
the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly vexed:
let them return and be suddenly ashamed.
1 (Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite).
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 LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands.
4
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me;
(yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy).
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and overtake it;
yes, let him tread down my life upon the Earth, and lay my honour in the dust. (Selah).
6 Arise, LORD, in Thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies:
and awake for me to the judgment that Thou have commanded.
7 So shall the Congregation of the people surround Thee:
for their sakes therefore return Thou on high.
8
The LORD shall judge the people:
judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
9 Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
but establish the just: for the righteous GOD searches the hearts and reins.
10 My Shield is from GOD, who saves the upright in heart.
11
GOD judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, He will whet His sword; He has bent His bow, and made it ready.
13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordains His arrows against the persecutors.
14
Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and dug it, and has 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-psalms to the Name of the LORD Most High.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Gittith, Psalm of David).
LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name in all the Earth!
Who have set Thy glory above the Heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou have perfected praise, Mat 21:16
because of Thy enemies, that Thou might still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Thy Heavens, the work of Thy fingers;
the moon and the stars, which Thou have ordained.
4
What is man, that Thou are mindful of Him?
Or the Son of Man, that Thou visit Him? Heb 2:6
5 Thou made Him a little lower than the Angels,
Thou crowned Him with glory and Honour, Heb 2:7
6 and did set Him over the works of Thy hands;
Thou have put all things in subjection under His feet. Heb 2:8 1Co 15:27
7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
8 the bird of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name in all the Earth!
1 (To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, Psalm of David).
I will praise Thee, LORD, with my whole heart;
I will show forth all Thy wonderful works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in Thee:
I will sing-psalms to Thy Name, Thou Most High.
3
When my enemies are turned back,
they shall fall and perish at Thy presence.
4 For Thou have maintained my right and my cause;
Thou sat upon the throne judging right.
5 Thou have rebuked the heathen,
Thou have destroyed the wicked,
Thou have put out their Name forever and ever.
6 The enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:
and Thou have destroyed cities; their memorial has perished with them.
7
But the LORD shall endure forever:
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 He shall judge the World in righteousness,
He shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a High Tower[Defence] for the oppressed,
a High Tower[Defence] in times of trouble.
10 And they that know Thy Name will put their trust in Thee:
for Thou, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek Thee.
11
Sing-psalms to the LORD, who dwells in Zion:
declare among the people His doings.
12
When He makes inquisition for blood,
He remembers them: He forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, LORD;
consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me,
Thou that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 so that I may show 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 executes:
the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion) (Selah).
17 The wicked shall be turned into Sheol,
and all the nations that forget GOD.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten:
the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19
Arise, LORD; let not man prevail:
let the heathen be judged in Thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, LORD:
let the heathen may know themselves to be but men. (Selah).
1 Why stand Thou afar off, LORD?
Why hide Thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor:
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasts of his soul's desire,
and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,
will not seek: there is no God 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 puffs at them.
6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved.
From generation to generation never will I be in evil.
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Rom 3:14
and deceit under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages:
in the secret places does he murder the innocent:
his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den.
He lies in wait to catch the poor.
He does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 He crouches, and humbles himself,
that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten:
He hides His face; He will never see it.
12
Arise, LORD; God, lift up Thy hand: forget not the humble.
13 Why does the wicked despise GOD?
He has said in his heart, Thou will not require it.
14 Thou have seen it; for Thou behold mischief and spite,
to requite it with Thy hand: the poor commits himself to Thee;
Thou are the Helper of the fatherless.
15 Break Thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man:
seek out his wickedness until Thou shall find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever:
the heathen have perished out of His land.
17 The desire of the humble have Thou heard LORD:
Thou will prepare their heart, Thou will cause Thy ear to hear:
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
that the man of the Earth may no more oppress.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
In the LORD I put my trust: how say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For behold, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are destroyed, what has the righteous done?
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 tries the righteous:
but the wicked and him that loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He shall rain snares,
fire and brimstone, and a scorching tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Sheminith. Psalm of David).
Help, LORD; for the Saint ceases;
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 speaks 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,
said the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffs at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven-fold.
7 Thou shall keep them, LORD,
Thou shall preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
Until when will Thou forget me, LORD? Forever?
Until when will Thou hide Thy face from me?
2 Until when shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
Until when shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3
Consider and reply me, LORD my God:
lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in Thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in Thy Salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
because He has dealt bountifully with me.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
The fool has said in his heart, There is no GOD.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doing good.
2 The LORD looked down from Heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any of understanding, seeking after GOD.
3 They all turned aside, they are together became unprofitable:
there is none that doing good, no, not one. Rom 3:12
4 Have all the workers of lawlessness no knowledge?
Who eat up my people as they eat bread!
They 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 That the Salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
1 (Psalm of David).
LORD, who shall abide in Thy Tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in Thy Holy Mount?
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness,
and speaks the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbites not with his tongue,
nor does evil to his neighbour,
nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;
but He honours them that fear the LORD.
He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.
5 He that puts not out his money to usury,
nor takes reward against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.
1 (Michtam of David).
Preserve me, God: for in Thee do I put my trust.
2 My soul, Thou have said to the LORD,
Thou are my Lord: my goodness extends 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:
their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,
nor take their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:
Thou maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
yes, I have a goodly heritage.
7
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel:
my reins also instruct me in the night season.
8 I foresaw the LORD always before Me,
for He is on My right hand, that I may not be moved: Act 2:25
9 did My heart rejoice, and My tongue glad;
moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope: Act 2:26
10 for Thou will not leave My soul in Sheol;
neither will Thou permit Thy Holy One to see corruption. Act 2:27 Act 13:35
11 Thou have made known to Me the ways of life;
Thou will make Me full of joy with Thy countenance; Act 2:28
at Thy right hand are pleasures forever.
1 (Prayer of David).
Hear the right, LORD, attend to my cry,
give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from Thy presence;
let Thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou have proved my heart; Thou have visited me in the night;
Thou have tried me, and shall find nothing;
I have 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 Uphold my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon Thee, for Thou will reply me,
God: incline Thy ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Thy wonderful kindness,
Thou that save by Thy right hand them who put their trust in Thee,
from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the pupil of the eye,
hide me under the shade of Thy wings.
9 From the wicked that oppress me,
from my enemies of life, who surround me,
10 they are enclosed in their own fat:
with their mouth they speak proudly;
11 they have now surrounded 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, LORD disappoint him, cast him down:
deliver my soul from the wicked, who is Thy sword:
14 from men who are Thy hand, LORD,
from men of the World, who have their portion in this life,
and whose belly Thou fill with Thy hid treasure:
they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness:
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD,
who spoke to 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: he said).
I will love Thee, LORD, my Strength.
2 The LORD is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my Rock[Strength],
my Trust in Him; my Shield, and my Horn of Salvation, and my High Tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:
so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4
The sorrows of death surround me,
and the floods of the worthless made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me:
the snares of death seized me.
6
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to 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 mountains 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.
10 He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
yes, He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness His secret place;
His pavilion around Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12
At the brightness that was before Him his thick clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
13 The LORD also thundered in the Heavens, and the Most High gave His voice; hail and coals of fire.
14 Yes, 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 uncovered,
at Thy rebuke, 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 who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity:
but the LORD was my support.
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 has 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 my iniquity.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 With the merciful Thou will show Thyself merciful;
with an upright man Thou will show Thyself upright.
26 With the pure Thou will show Thyself pure;
and with the perverting Thou will contend.
27
For Thou will save the afflicted people;
but will bring down high looks.
28 For Thou will light my lamp:
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 Shield to all those that trust in Him.
31
For who is God except the LORD?
Or who is a Rock except our God?
32 It is God that girds me with strength,
and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet,
and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war;
so that a bow of bronze is broken by my arms.
35 Thou have also given me the Shield of Thy Salvation:
and Thy right hand has held me up and Thy gentleness has made me great.
36 Thou have enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them:
neither did I turn back until they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:
they have fallen under my feet.
39 For Thou have girded me with strength to battle:
Thou have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou have also given me the necks of my enemies,
that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them:
even to the LORD, but He answered them not.
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind:
I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
and Thou have 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 to me.
45 Strangers shall fade away,
and be afraid from their close places.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my Rock;
and let the God of my Salvation be exalted.
47
It is God that avenges me,
and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies:
yes, Thou lift me up above those that rise up against me:
Thou have delivered me from the violent man.
49 LORD, Therefore I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles,
and sing-psalms to Thy Name. Rom 15:9
50 Great Salvation gives He to His king;
and shows mercy to His anointed,
to David, and to his seed forever.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
The Heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament shows the work of His hands.
2
Day to day utters speech,
and night to night shows knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their sound went into all the Earth,
and their words to the ends of the World.
In them has He set a Tabernacle for the sun, Rom 10:18
5 which is as a Bridegroom coming out of His chamber,
and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the Heaven,
and His circuit to the ends of it:
and there is nothing hid from His heat.
7
The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts 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 forever:
the Judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
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, LORD, my Rock[Strength], and my Redeemer.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
May the LORD reply Thee in the day of trouble;
the Name of the God of Jacob defend Thee.
2 May He send Thee help from the Sanctuary,
and strengthen Thee out of Zion.
3 Remember all Thy offerings,
and accept Thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah).
4 Grant Thee according to Thy 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:
may the LORD fulfil all Thy petitions.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
He will reply 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 raised, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD:
let the King reply us when we call.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
The king shall joy in Thy strength, LORD;
and in Thy Salvation how greatly shall He rejoice!
2 Thou have given him his heart's desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah).
3 For Thou have met him with the blessings of goodness:
Thou have set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of Thee, and Thou gave it to him,
even length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in Thy Salvation:
honour and majesty have Thou laid upon him.
6 For Thou make Him blessings forever:
Thou make Him exceeding glad with Thy countenance.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD,
and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8
Thy hand shall find out all Thy enemies:
Thy right hand shall find out those that hate Thee.
9 Thou shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Thy anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shall 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 shall Thou make them turn their back,
when Thou shall make ready Thy arrows upon Thy strings against the face of them.
13 Be Thou exalted, LORD, in Thy own strength:
so will we sing and sing-psalms Thy power.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, Psalm of David).
My God, my God, why have Thou forsaken Me? Mat 27:46
Far from my Salvation, are the words of my roaring?
2 My God, I cry in the day-time, but Thou reply not;
and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But Thou are Holy, Thou that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in Thee:
they trusted, and Thou did deliver them.
5 They cried to 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 by the people.
7 All they that see Me deride Me:
they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He turned to the LORD that He would deliver him:
let Him deliver him, seeing He delighted in him.
9 But Thou are He who took me out of the womb:
Thou did make Me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon Thee from the womb,
from My mother's belly: Thou are my God.
11 Be not far from Me; for trouble is near;
for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded 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 middle of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
and my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
and Thou have brought Me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me:
the assembly of the wicked have enclosed Me:
they pierced My hands and My feet.
17 I may number all My bones:
they look and stare upon Me.
18 They divided My garments among them,
and they cast for My clothing a lot. Mat 27:35
19 But be not Thou far from me, LORD:
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 mouth of the lion:
for Thou have replied me from the horns of the rhinos.
22 I will declare Thy Name to My brethren,
in the middle of the Congregation will I sing praise to Thee. Heb 2:12
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.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
neither has He hid His face from him; but when he cried to 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 forever.
27
All the ends of the Earth,
shall remember and turn to 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 are 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,
to a people that shall be born, that He has done this.
1 (Psalm of David).
The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not lack.
2 He makes me to lie down in grassy pastures:
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul:
He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake.
4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou are with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies:
Thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
6 Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the House of the LORD forever.
1 (Psalm of David).
The Earth is the LORD's, and its fullness.
The World, and they that dwell in it. 1Co 10:26
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend upon the Mount of the LORD?
And who shall stand in His Holy place?
4 He who has clean hands, and a pure heart;
who has not lifted up his soul to 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, God of Jacob. (Selah).
7 Lift up your heads, ye gates;
and be ye lifted 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, ye gates;
even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of Sabaoth, He is the King of glory. (Selah).
1 (Psalm of David). [Q= H6960].
(A)To Thee, LORD,
Lift up my soul, my God.
2 (B)I trust in Thee:
let me not be ashamed,
let not my enemies triumph over me.
3 (G)Also, let none that wait on Thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.
4 (D) Show me Thy ways, LORD;
teach me Thy paths.
5 (E)Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me:
for Thou are the God of my Salvation;
on Thee do I wait all the day.
6 (Z)Remember, LORD, Thy tender mercies.
(V)And Thy loving kindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
7 (H)Remember not the sins of my youth,
nor my transgressions:
according to Thy mercy remember Thou me,
for sake of Thy goodness, LORD.
8 (Th)Good and upright is the LORD:
therefore will He teach sinners in the way.
9 (J)He will guide the meek in judgment:
and the meek will He teach His way.
10 (K)All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,
to such as keep His Covenant and His Testimonies.
11 (L)For Thy Name's sake, LORD,
pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12 (M)What man is he who fears the LORD?
He shall teach him in the way that He shall choose.
13 (N)His soul shall dwell at ease;
and His seed shall inherit the Earth.
14 (X)The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him;
and He will show them His Covenant.
15 (O)My eyes are ever towards the LORD;
for He will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 (P)Turn Thee to me, and have mercy upon me;
for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 (C)The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
bring Thou me out of my distresses.
18 (Q)Look upon my affliction and my pain;
and forgive all my sins.
19 (R)Consider my enemies, for they are many;
and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 (S)Keep my soul, and deliver me:
let me not be ashamed;
for I put my trust in Thee.
21 (T)Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
for I wait on Thee;
22 GOD redeem Israel out of all his troubles.
1 (Psalm of David).
Judge me, LORD; for I have walked in my integrity:
I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me;
search my reins and my heart.
3 For Thy mercy is before my 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 my hands in innocence:
so will I go around Thy Altar, 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 Thy honour dwells.
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 my integrity:
redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 My foot stands in straightness:
in the Congregations will I bless the LORD.
1 (Psalm of David).
The LORD is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my adversaries and my enemies,
came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a 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 inquire in His Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion:
in the secret of His Tabernacle will He hide me;
He will set me up upon a Rock.
6
And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me:
therefore will I offer in His Tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing-psalms to the LORD.
7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When Thou said, Seek ye my face; my heart said to Thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger:
Thou have been my Help; leave me not,
neither forsake me, 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, LORD,
and lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies:
for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness,
of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage, and He will strengthen Thy heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
1 (Psalm of David).
To Thee will I cry, LORD my Rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if Thou should be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to Thee,
when I lift my hands towards Thy Holy inner Sanctuary.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of lawlessness,
who 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 will destroy them, and not build them up.
6
Blessed be the LORD,
because He has 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 rejoices; and with my song will I Praise Him.
8 The LORD is their Strength, and He is the saving Strength of His anointed.
9 Save Thy people, and bless Thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up forever.
1 (Psalm of David).
Give to the LORD, ye mighty.
Give to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give to the LORD, the glory due to His Name; worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness.
3
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the 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 breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 (He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young rhino).
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and makes bare the forests:
and in His Temple does every one speaks of His glory.
10
The LORD sits upon the flood; yes, the LORD sits King forever.
11 The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.
1 (Psalm and Song, at the dedication of the House of David).
I will extol Thee, LORD; for Thou have lifted me up,
and have not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 LORD my God, I cried to Thee, and Thou have healed me.
3 LORD, Thou have brought up my soul from Sheol:
Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit.
4
Sing-psalms to the LORD, ye His Saints,
and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.
5 For His anger endures but a moment; in His favour is life:
weeping may endure in the evening, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by Thy favour Thou have made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou did hide Thy face, and I have been troubled.
8 I cried to Thee, LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down into the pit?
Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be Thou my Helper.
11 Thou have turned my mourning into dancing for me:
Thou have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 to the end that my glory may sing-psalms to Thee,
and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
In Thee, LORD, do I put my trust;
let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Thy righteousness.
2 Bow down Thy ear to me; deliver me speedily:
be Thou my strong Rock, for a house of defence to save me.
3 For Thou are my Rock and my Fortress;
therefore for Thy Name's sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me:
for Thou are my Strength.
5 Into Thy hands I will commit My Spirit: Luk 23:46
Thou have redeemed me, 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 have considered my trouble;
Thou have known my soul in adversities;
8 and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
Thou have set my foot in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, LORD, for I am in trouble:
my eye is consumed with grief, yes, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:
my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I have been a reproach among all my enemies,
but especially among my neighbours,
and a fear to my acquaintances:
they that see me in the streets flee out from me.
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of heart:
I have been like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many:
terror is on every side:
while they took counsel together against me,
they devised to take away my life.
14
But I trusted in Thee, LORD:
I said, Thou are my God.
15 My times are in Thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
16 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant:
save me for Thy mercy' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, LORD; for I have called upon Thee.
Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak arrogant things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 How great is Thy goodness,
which Thou have laid up for them that fear Thee;
which Thou have wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shall hide them in the secret of Thy presence from the pride of man:
Thou shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD:
for He has showed me His wonderful kindness in a strong city!
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before Thy eyes:
nevertheless Thou heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to Thee.
23 Love the LORD, all ye His Saints:
for the LORD preserves the faithful,
and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.
1 (Psalm of David, Maschil).
Blessed are they whose iniquities were forgiven,
and whose sins were covered! Rom 4:7
2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD will not reckon sin, Rom 4:8
and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 When I kept silence,
my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me:
my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah).
5 I acknowledged my sin to Thee,
and have I not hid my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD;
and Thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah).
6 For this shall every Saint pray to Thee in a time when Thou may be found:
surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.
7 Thou are my Hiding-place; Thou will preserve me from trouble;
Thou will go around me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah).
8 I will instruct Thee, and teach Thee in the way which Thou shall go:
I will guide Thee with my eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to Thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
but he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround Him.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
1 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous:
for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp.
Sing-psalms to Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song;
play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right;
and all His works are done in truth.
5 He loves 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 by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap:
He lays up the Abyss in store-houses.
8 Let all the Earth fear the LORD.
Let all the inhabitants of the World stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD breaks the counsel of the heathen:
He discourage the thoughts of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;
and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance!
13 The LORD looks from Heaven;
He beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His habitation,
He looks upon all the inhabitants of the Earth.
15 He fashions their hearts alike;
He considers all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:
a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A 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 waits 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, LORD, be upon us,
according as we hope in Thee.
1 (Psalm of David,
when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech;
who drove him away, and he departed).
(A) I will bless the LORD at all times:
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 (B)In the LORD shall my soul make her boast:
the humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 (G)Magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt His Name together.
4 (D)I sought the LORD, and He replied me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 (E)They looked to Him, and were lightened.
(V)And their faces were not ashamed.
6 (Z)This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (H)The Angel of the LORD encamps around,
them that fear him, and delivers them.
8 (Th)Taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusts in Him.
9 (J)Fear the LORD, ye His Saints:
for there is no lack to them that fear Him.
10 (K)The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11 (L)Come, ye children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 (M)What man is he who willing love life,
and see good days, that he may see good? 1Pe 3:10
13 (N)Restrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile. 1Pe 3:11
14 (X)Shun evil, and do good;
let him seek peace, and pursue it. 1Pe 3:11
15 (O)The eyes of the LORD are over the righteous,
and His ears are open to their prayers. 1Pe 3:12
16 (P)The Face of the LORD is against them that do evil,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the Earth. 1Pe 3:12
17 (C)They cried, and the LORD hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psa 34:15
18 (Q)Near is the LORD to them that are of a broken heart;
and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.
19 (R)Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
but the LORD delivers Him out of them all.
20 (S)He keeps all His bones:
not one of them is broken. Joh 19:36
21 (T)Evil shall slay the wicked:
and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
None of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.
1 (Psalm of David).
Plead my cause, 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 my help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me:
say to 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 they have hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have dig for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he has hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
9 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in His Salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like Thee,
who deliver the poor from him that is too strong for him,
even the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?
11 False witnesses arose; 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 my own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother:
I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and assembled themselves,
the defamers assembled themselves 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, until when will 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 many people.
19 Let not them that are My enemies wrongfully rejoice over Me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate Me without cause. Joh 15:25
20 For they speak not peace:
but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me,
and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
22 This Thou have seen, LORD: keep not silence:
Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up Thyself, and awake to my judgment,
even to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness;
and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, our soul[desire].
Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my 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.
Let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
28 My tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness and of Thy praise all the day long.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David the servant of the LORD).
The transgression of the wicked said within my heart,
that there is no fear of GOD before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
he has ceased to be wise, and to do good.
4 He devises mischief upon his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.
5 Thy mercy, LORD, is in the Heavens;
and Thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the godly[mightily] mountains;
Thy Judgments are a great Abyss:
LORD, Thou preserve man and beast.
7 How excellent is Thy kindness, 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 shall 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 Continue Thy kindness to 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 lawlessness fallen:
they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
1 (Psalm of David).
(A)Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,
neither be Thou envious against the workers of lawlessness.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
3 (B)Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shall Thou dwell in the land, and truly Thou shall be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
and He will give Thee the desires of Thy heart.
5 (G)Turn Thy way to the LORD;
trust also in Him; and He will bring it to pass.
6 He will bring forth Thy righteousness as the light,
and Thy judgment as the noon.
7 (D)Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospers in His way,
because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 (E)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the Earth.
10 (V)For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
yes, Thou shall 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 (Z)The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord will laugh at him:
for He sees that his day is coming.
14 (H)The sword of the wicked have drawn out, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
to slay such as are of upright deportment.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.
16 (Th)Better is a little that a righteous man has,
than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 (J)The LORD knows the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil:
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 (K)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 (L)The wicked borrows, and pays not again:
but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the Earth;
and they that are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 (M)By the LORD are the steps of a man ordered,
and He delights in his way.
24 Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholds him with His hand.
25 (N)I have been Young and now am old;
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.
26 All the day he is merciful, and lends;
and his seed is blessed.
27 (X)Depart from evil, and do good;
and dwell forever.
28 For the LORD loves judgment,
and forsakes not His Saints;
they are preserved forever:
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 (O)The righteous shall inherit the Earth,
dwell in it forever.
30 (P)The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
and his tongue talks of judgment.
31 The Law of his God is in his heart;
none of his steps shall slide.
32 (C)The wicked watches the righteous,
and seeks to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 (Q)Wait on the LORD, and keep His way,
and He will exalt Thee to inherit the Earth:
when the wicked are cut off, Thou shall see it.
35 (R)I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet He passed away, and behold, He was not:
yes, I sought him, but He could not be found.
37 (S)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 (T)But the Salvation of the righteous is of the LORD:
He is their Strength in the time of trouble.
40 The LORD will help them, and deliver them:
He will deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
because they trust in Him.
1 (Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance).
LORD, rebuke me not in Thy wrath:
neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
2 For Thy arrows stick fast in me,
and Thy hand falls heavy upon me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thy anger;
neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head:
as a 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 grievously broken:
I have roared by reason of the restlessness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee;
and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me:
as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction;
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 opens not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that hears not,
and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in Thee, LORD, do I hope:
Thou will reply, LORD my God.
16 For I said, lest they should rejoice over me:
when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to limp,
and My sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare My iniquity;
I will be sorry for My sin.
19 But my enemies are lively, and they are strong:
and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries;
because I follow the thing that is good.
21 Forsake me not, LORD:
my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me,
Lord my Salvation.
1 (To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, 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 I spoke with my tongue.
4 LORD, make me to know my end,
and the measure of my days,
what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, Thou have made my days as a handbreadth;
and my age is as nothing before Thee:
truly every man at his best state is altogether vanity. (Selah).
6 Surely, every man walks in a vain show.
Surely, they are disquieted in vain:
he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is in Thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
because Thou did it.
10 Remove Thy stroke away from me;
I am consumed by the blow of Thy hand.
11 When Thou with rebukes do correct man for iniquity,
Thou make his beauty to consume away like a moth.
Surely, every man is vanity. (Selah).
12 Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to 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 Spare me, that I may recover strength,
before I go hence, and be no more.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
I waited patiently for the LORD;
and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust,
and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies!
5 Many, LORD, my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou have done,
and Thy thoughts which are towards us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to Thee:
if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering Thou would not, but a body have Thou prepared Me;
in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou have had no pleasure. Heb 10:5-6
7 Then I said, Behold, I come,
(in the roll of the Book it has been written concerning Me), Heb 10:7
8 to do Thy will, God. I delight,
Thy Law is within my bowels[heart]. Heb 10:7
9 I have preached righteousness in the great Congregation: behold,
I have not refrained my lips, LORD, Thou know.
10 I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy Salvation:
I have not concealed Thy kindness and Thy truth from the great Congregation.
11 Withhold not Thou Thy tender mercies from me, LORD:
let Thy kindness and Thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evil things have surrounded me:
my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;
they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13
Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me:
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 to 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 thinks upon me:
Thou are my Help and my Deliverer; make no delay, my God.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
Blessed is he who considers the poor.
The LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble!
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the Earth:
and Thou will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me:
heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.
5 My enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity:
his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me:
against me do they devise my hurt.
8 A worthless thing, say they, cleaves fast to him:
and now that he lies he shall rise no more.
9 Even my own man of peace in whom I trusted,
he that eating bread with Me, has lifted up his heel against Me. Joh 13:18
10 But Thou, LORD, be merciful to me,
and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that Thou favour me,
because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, Thou uphold me in my integrity,
and sets me before Thy face forever.
13 Blessed be the LORD, God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting! Amen, and Amen!
1 [Part 2].
(To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah).
As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after Thee, GOD.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the Living GOD:
when shall I come and appear before GOD?
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
while they continually say to me, Where is Thy God?
4 When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the throng,
I went with them to the House of GOD, with the voice of joy and praise, that kept Holy day with a multitude.
5 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him for the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.
6
My soul is cast down within me:
therefore will I remember Thee from the land of the Jordan,
and of the Hermonites, from the Mount Mizar.
7 Abyss calls to Abyss at the noise of Thy water-spouts:
all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the LORD will command His kindness in the day-time,
and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock, Why have Thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me;
while they say daily to me, Where is Thy God?
11 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him for the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.
1
Judge me, GOD, and plead my cause against an unholy nation:
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For Thou are the God of my strength: why do Thou cast me off?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead me;
let them bring me to Thy Holy Mount, and to Thy Tabernacles.
4 Then will I go to the Altar of GOD, to God, my exceeding joy:
yes, upon the harp will I praise Thee, GOD my God.
5 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him for the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.
1 (To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil).
We have heard with our ears, GOD, our fathers have told us,
what work Thou did in their days, in the times of old.
2 How Thou did drive out the heathen with Thy hand, and did plant them.
How Thou did afflict the peoples, and cast them out.
3 For they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them:
but Thy right hand, and Thy arm, and the light of Thy countenance,
because Thou had a favour to them.
4 Thou are my King, GOD: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through Thee will we push down our enemies.
Through Thy Name we will 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 have saved us from our enemies,
and have put them to shame that hated us.
8 In GOD we boast all the day long,
and praise Thy Name forever. (Selah).
9 But Thou have cast off, and put us to shame;
and go not forth with our armies.
10 Thou make us to turn back from the enemy:
and they who hate us plunder for themselves.
11 Thou have given us like sheep appointed for food;
and have scattered us among the heathen.
12 Thou sell Thy people for naught,
and do not increase Thy wealth by their price.
13 Thou make us a reproach to our neighbours,
a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.
14 Thou make us a by-word among the heathen,
a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 My confusion is continually before me,
and the shame of my face has covered me,
16 for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes;
by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet we have 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 have severely broke us in the place of monsters,
and covered us with the shades of death.
20 If we have forgotten the Name of our God,
or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 will not GOD search out this?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 For Thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we were reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. Rom 8:36
23 Awake, why sleep Thou, Lord?
Arise, cast us not off forever.
24 Why hide Thou Thy face,
and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:
our belly cleaves to the Earth.
26 Arise for our help,
and redeem us for Thy mercy' sake.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, Song of loves).
My heart is overflowing with good matter:
I saying of the things which I have made concerning the King:
my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou are the most beautiful of the children of men:
grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore GOD has blessed Thee forever.
3
Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, 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 awesome things.
5 Thy arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
by which the people fall under Thee.
6 Thy throne, GOD, is forever and ever:
a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy Kingdom. Heb 1:8
7 Thou loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness;
therefore GOD Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. Heb 1:9
8 All Thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,
out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made Thee glad.
9
Kings' daughters were among Thy honourable women:
upon Thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Listen, daughter, and consider, and incline Thy ear;
forget also Thy 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 entreat Thy favour.
13
The king's daughter is all glorious within:
her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought to the King in clothing of needle-work:
the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to 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 children,
whom Thou may make princes in all the Earth.
17 I will make Thy Name to be remembered in all generations:
therefore shall the people praise Thee forever and ever.
1 (To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth).
GOD is our Refuge and Strength,
a very present Help in trouble.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the Earth shall be removed,
and though the mountains shall be carried into the heart of the sea;
3 though its waters shall roar and be disturbed,
though the mountains shake with the swelling of it. (Selah).
4 The stream of the river of which shall make glad the city of GOD,
the Holy place of the Tabernacles of the Most High.
5 GOD is in the middle 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 Sabaoth is with us;
the God of Jacob is our High Tower[Defence]. (Selah).
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
what desolations He has made in the Earth.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the Earth;
He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear asunder;
He burns 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 Sabaoth is with us;
the God of Jacob is our High Tower[Defence]. (Selah).
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
Clap your hands, all ye people;
shout to GOD with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD Most High is awesome;
He is a Great King above 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 excellence of Jacob whom He loved. (Selah).
5 GOD is gone up with a shout,
the LORD with the voice of a shofar. Rev 1:10
6 Sing-psalms to GOD, sing-psalms.
Sing-psalms to our King, sing-psalms.
7 For GOD is the King of all the Earth.
Sing-psalms ye with understanding.
8 GOD reigns over the heathen:
GOD sits upon the throne of His Holiness.
9 The princes of the people are assembled,
even the people of the God of Abraham:
for the shields of the Earth belong to GOD:
He is greatly exalted.
1 (Psalm and Song for the sons of Korah).
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
in the city of our God, in the Holy Mount.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of all the Earth,
is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the Great King.
3 GOD in her palaces has made Himself known for a High Tower[Defence].
4 For behold, the kings were assembled,
they passed by together;
5 they saw it, and so they wondered;
they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there,
and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of Sabaoth,
in the city of our God: GOD will establish it forever. (Selah).
9 We have thought of Thy kindness,
GOD, in the middle of Thy Temple.
10 According to Thy Name, GOD,
so is Thy praise to 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 around her: number her towers.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces;
that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this GOD is our God forever and ever:
He will be our guide even to death.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
Hear this, all ye people;
give ear, all ye inhabitants of the World:
2 both common people and mighty men,
together rich and poor.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable:
I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
when the iniquity of my heels shall surround me?
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 ceases forever):
9 that he should still live forever,
and not see corruption.
10 For he sees 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 forever,
and their dwelling-places from generation to generation;
they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour stays 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 Sheol;
death shall feed on them;
and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
and their beauty shall consume in Sheol from their dwelling.
15 But GOD will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol:
for He shall receive me. (Selah).
16 Be not Thou afraid when one is made rich,
when the glory of his house is increased;
17 for when he dies 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 do well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understands not,
is like the beasts that perish.
1 (Psalm of Asaph).
The mighty GOD, even the LORD, has spoken,
and called the Earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, GOD has shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:
a fire shall devour before Him,
and it shall be very tempestuous around Him.
4 He shall call to the Heavens from above,
and to the Earth, that He may judge His people.
5 Gather My Saints together to Me;
those that have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice.
6 And the Heavens shall declare His righteousness:
for GOD is judge Himself. (Selah).
7 Hear, My people, and I will speak;
Israel, and I will testify against Thee:
I AM GOD, even Thy God.
8 I will not reprove Thee for Thy sacrifices or Thy burnt-offerings,
to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bull 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 its fullness.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to GOD thanksgiving;
and pay Thy vows to the Most High:
15 and call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver Thee, and Thou shall glorify Me.
16 But to the wicked said GOD,
What have Thou to do to declare My Statutes,
or that Thou should take My Covenant in Thy mouth?
17 Seeing Thou hate instruction,
and cast My words behind Thee.
18 When Thou saw a thief, then Thou consented with him,
and have been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou give Thy mouth to evil,
and Thy tongue frames deceit.
20 Thou sit and speak against Thy brother;
Thou slander Thy own mother's son.
21 These things have Thou done, and I kept silence;
Thou thought that I was altogether such one as thyself:
but I will reprove Thee, and set them in order before Thy eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God,
lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me:
and to him that orders his deportment aright;
will I show the Salvation of GOD.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David,
when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba).
Have mercy upon me, GOD,
according to Thy kindness:
according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies,
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my 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 eyes:
that Thou may be justified in Thy sayings,
and may overcome when Thee are judged. Rom 3:4
5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, Thou desire truth in the inward parts:
and in the hidden part Thou shall 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 have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, 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 to 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 to Thee.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, GOD, Thou God of my Salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
15 Lord, open Thou my lips;
and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
16 For Thou desire not sacrifice:
else would I give it: Thou delight not in burnt-offering.
17 The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, GOD, Thou will not despise.
18 Do good in Thy good pleasure to Zion:
build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shall Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: then shall they offer bulls upon Thy Altar.
1 (To the chief Musician, Maschil, Psalm of David,
when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul,
and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech).
Why boast Thou thyself in mischief, mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
2 Thy tongue devises destructions;
like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou love evil more than good;
and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah).
4 Thou love all devouring words,
Thou deceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy Thee forever,
He shall take Thee away, and pluck Thee out of Thy tent,
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 Behold, this is the man that made not GOD his Strength;
but trusted in the abundance 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 forever and ever.
9 I will praise Thee forever, because Thou have done it:
and I will wait on Thy Name; for it is good before Thy Saints.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, Psalm of David).
The fool has said in his heart, There is no GOD.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doing good.
2 GOD looked down from Heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any of understanding, seeking after GOD.
3 They all turned aside, they are together became unprofitable:
there is none that doing good, no, not one. Rom 3:12
4 Have the workers of lawlessness no knowledge?
Who eat up My people as they eat bread!
They call not upon GOD.
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was:
for GOD has scattered the bones of him that encamps against Thee:
Thou have put them to shame, because GOD has despised them.
6 That the Salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When GOD brings back the captivity of His people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, Psalm of David,
when the Ziphim[Ziphites] came and said to Saul,
does not David hide himself with us)?
Save me, GOD, by Thy Name,
and judge me by Thy strength.
2 GOD, Hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me,
and oppressors seek after my soul:
they have not set GOD before them. (Selah).
4 Behold, GOD is my Helper:
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He will reward evil to my enemies;
cut them off in Thy truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice to Thee:
I will praise Thy Name, LORD; for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble:
and my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, Psalm of David).
Give ear to my prayer, GOD;
and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and reply 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 severely pained within me:
and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,
and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, that I had wings like a dove!
For then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Behold, then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah).
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, Lord, and divide their tongues:
for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls:
mischief also and sorrow are in the middle of it.
11 Wickedness is in the middle of it:
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 who hated me that magnified himself against me;
then I would have hid myself from him:
13 but it was Thou, a man my equal,
my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together,
and walked to the House of GOD in company.
15 Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down alive into Sheol:
for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon GOD:
and the LORD will save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and He will hear my voice.
18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:
for there were many with me.
19 God will hear and afflict them, even he who stays of old. (Selah).
Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not GOD.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him:
he has 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 will sustain Thee:
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
23 But Thou, GOD, will 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.
1 (To the chief musician. Jonath-elem-rechokim[Concerning the silent dove], those far off. Michtam of David,
when the Philistines seized him in Gath).
Be merciful to me, GOD: for man would swallow me up;
he fighting daily oppresses me.
2 My enemies would daily swallow me up:
for they are many that fight haughty against me.
3 In the time when 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 to me.
5 Every day they wrest my words:
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They assemble themselves, they hide themselves,
they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity;
in Thy anger cast down the people, GOD.
8 Thou number my wanderings:
put Thou my tears into Thy bottle:
are they not in Thy book?
9 When I cry to Thee, then shall my 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 to me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, GOD:
I will render praises to Thee.
13 For Thou have delivered my soul from death:
will Thou not deliver my feet from falling,
that I may walk before GOD in the light of the living?
1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith[do not destroy], Michtam of David,
when he fled from Saul in the cave).
Be merciful to me, GOD, be merciful to me:
for my soul trusts in Thee:
yes, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge,
until these calamities are be over.
2 I will cry to GOD Most High;
to God that performs 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, GOD, above the Heavens:
and Thy glory above all the Earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
they have dig a pit before me,
into the middle of which they have fallen themselves. (Selah).
7 My heart is fixed, GOD. My heart is fixed:
I will sing and sing-psalms.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise Thee, Lord, among the people:
I will sing-psalms to Thee among the nations.
10 For Thy mercy is great to the Heavens,
and Thy truth to the clouds.
11 Be Thou exalted, GOD, above the Heavens:
and Thy glory above all the Earth.
1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith[do not destroy], Michtam of David).
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, Congregation?
Do ye judge uprightly, ye sons of men?
2 Yes, in heart ye work wickedness;
ye weigh the violence of your hands in the Earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from their birth:
they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:
they are like the deaf asp that stops her ear;
5 which will not listen to the voice of charmers,
charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, GOD, in their mouth:
break out the fangs of the young lions, LORD.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually:
when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows,
let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melts, 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 sees the vengeance:
he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous:
truly He is a GOD that judges in the Earth.
1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith[do not destroy], Michtam of David;
when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him).
Deliver me from my enemies, my God:
defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of lawlessness,
and save me from bloody men.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul:
the mighty are gathered against me;
not for my transgression, nor for my sin, LORD.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault:
awake to meet me, and behold.
5 Thou therefore, LORD, GOD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel,
awake to visit all the heathen:
be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah).
6 They return at evening:
they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:
swords are in their lips:
for who, say they, does hear?
8 But Thou, LORD, shall laugh at them;
Thou shall have all the heathen in derision.
9 His strength will I wait upon Thee:
for GOD is my High Tower[Defence].
10 The God of my mercy will prevent me:
GOD will let me see my desire upon my enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:
scatter them by Thy power; and bring them down, Lord our Shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
let them even be taken in their pride:
and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be:
and let them know that GOD rules in Jacob to the ends of the Earth. (Selah).
14 And at evening let them return;
and let them make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for food,
and grudge if they are not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of Thy power;
yes, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning:
for Thou have been my High Tower[Defence] and Refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To Thee, my Strength, will I sing-psalms: for GOD is my High Tower[Defence], and the God of my mercy.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth[Lily of Testimony], Michtam of David,
to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah,
when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand).
GOD, Thou have cast us off,
Thou have scattered us, Thou have been displeased; turn back to us.
2 Thou have made the Earth to tremble;
Thou have broken it: heal its breaches; for it shakes.
3 Thou have shown Thy people hard things:
Thou have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Thou have given a banner to them that fear Thee,
that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah).
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered;
save with Thy right hand, and reply me.
6 GOD has spoken in His Holiness;
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the strength of my head;
Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is my wash pot;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
over Philistia will I triumph.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Will Thou not, GOD, who had cast us off?
And Thou, GOD, who did not go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
12 Through GOD we shall do valiantly:
for He will tread down our enemies.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Neginah, Psalm of David).
Hear my cry, GOD; attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the Earth will I cry to Thee,
when my heart is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For Thou have been a shelter for me,
and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in Thy Tabernacle forever:
I will trust in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah).
5 For Thou, GOD, have heard my vows:
Thou have given me the heritage of those that fear Thy Name.
6 Thou will prolong the king's life:
and his years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before GOD forever:
prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 So will I sing-psalms to Thy Name forever,
that I may perform my vows day by day.
1 (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, Psalm of David).
Truly my soul waits upon GOD:
from Him comes my Salvation.
2 He only is my Rock and my Salvation;
He is my High Tower[Defence];
I shall not be moved greatly.
3 Until when will ye imagine mischief against a man?
Ye shall be slain all of you:
as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellence:
they delight in lies:
they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah).
5 My soul, wait Thou only upon GOD;
for my expectation is from Him.
6 He only is my Rock and my Salvation;
He is my High Tower[Defence];
I shall not be moved.
7 In GOD is my Salvation and my glory:
the Rock of my strength, and my Refuge, is in GOD.
8 Trust in Him at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart before Him: GOD is a refuge for us. (Selah).
9 Surely, men of low degree are vanity,
and men of high degree are a lie:
to be laid in the balance,
they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression,
and become not vain in robbery:
if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 GOD has spoken once;
twice have I heard this;
that power belongs to GOD.
12 Also to Thee, Lord, belongs mercy:
for Thou will reward every man according to his works. Mat 16:27
1 (Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah).
GOD, Thou are my God; early will I seek Thee.
My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh longs 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;
3 because Thy kindness 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 couch,
and meditate on Thee in the night watches;
7 because Thou have been my help,
therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul cleaved after Thee:
Thy right hand upholds 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 swears by Him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
Hear my voice, 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 lawlessness:
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 secretly;
they say, Who will see them?
6 They search out iniquities;
they accomplish a diligent search: both the 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.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm and Song of David).
Praise waits for Thee, GOD, in Zion:
and to Thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Thou that hear prayer,
to Thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me:
as for our transgressions, Thou shall purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom Thou choose,
and cause to approach to 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 awesome things in righteousness will Thou answer us, God of our Salvation;
who are the confidence of all the ends of the Earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 who by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 who stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy tokens:
Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visit the Earth, and water it:
Thou greatly enrich it with the river of GOD, which is full of water:
Thou prepare them grain, when Thou have so provided for it.
10 Thou water the ridges of it abundantly:
Thou settle the furrows of it:
Thou make it soft with showers:
Thou bless the springing of it.
11 Thou crown the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drip fatness.
12 They drip 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 grain;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm or Song).
Make a joyful noise to GOD, all the Earth.
2 Sing-psalms the honour of His Name:
make His praise glorious.
3 Say to GOD, How awesome are Thou in Thy works!
Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thy enemies submit themselves to Thee.
4 All the Earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing-psalms to Thee;
they shall sing-psalms to Thy Name. (Selah).
5 Come and see the works of GOD:
He is awesome in His doing towards the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land:
they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in Him.
7 He rules by his power forever; His eyes watch the nations:
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah).
8 Bless our God, ye people,
and make the voice of His praise to be heard:
9 who holds our soul in life,
and allows not our feet to be moved.
10 For Thou, GOD, have proved us:
Thou have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou have brought us into the net;
Thou have laid affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou have caused men to ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water:
but Thou brought 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 has spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to Thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings,
with the incense of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah).
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear GOD,
and I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to 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 truly GOD has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
who has not turned away my prayer,
nor His mercy from me!
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm or Song).
GOD be merciful to us, and bless us;
and cause His Face to shine upon us. (Selah).
2 That Thy way may be known upon Earth,
Thy Salvation among all nations.
3 Let the people praise Thee, God;
let all the people praise Thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy:
for Thou shall judge the people righteously,
and govern the nations upon Earth. (Selah).
5 Let the people praise Thee, GOD;
let all the people praise Thee.
6 Then shall the Earth yield her increase;
and GOD, even our own God, will bless us.
7 GOD will bless us,
and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm or Song of David).
Let 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 melts 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:
yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing to GOD, sing-psalms to His Name:
extol Him that rides upon the deserts 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 sets the solitary in families:
He brings out those who are bound with chains:
but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 GOD, when Thou went forth before Thy people,
when Thou did 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, GOD, did send a plentiful rain,
by which Thou did confirm Thy inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy Congregation has dwelt in it:
Thou, GOD, have prepared of Thy goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the Word:
great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies fled apace:
and she who tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though ye have lain among the pots,
yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver,
and her feathers with greenish gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
it was white as snow in Zalmon.
15 The Mount of GOD is as the mountain of Bashan;
a high mountain as the mountain of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye lofty mountains?
This is the mountain which GOD desires to dwell in;
yes, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of GOD are myriads: thousands folds:
the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the Holy place.
18 Thou have ascended on high, Thou have led captivity captive:
Thou have received gifts for men;
yes, for the rebellious also,
that JaH GOD might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, day by day He carries us,
the God of our Salvation! (Selah).
20 He that is our God is the God of Salvation;
and to the Lord JeHoVaH belong the issues from death.
21 But GOD will wound the head of His enemies,
and the hairy scalp of such one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring back from Bashan,
I will bring back My people from the depths of the sea.
23 That Thy foot may be crush in the blood,
and the tongue of Thy dogs may have its portion from Thy enemies.
24 They have seen Thy goings, GOD;
even the goings of my God, my King, in the Sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, next are the players on instruments;
among them were the virgins 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 counsel,
the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God has commanded Thy strength:
strengthen, GOD, that which Thou have wrought for us;
29 because of Thy Temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to Thee.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen,
the assembly of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
until every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver:
scatter Thou the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt;
Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to GOD.
32 Sing to GOD, ye kingdoms of the World;
sing-psalms to the Lord. (Selah).
33 To Him that rides upon the Heavens of Heavens, which were of old;
behold, He does send out His voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength to GOD:
His excellence is over Israel,
and His strength is in the clouds.
35 GOD, Thou are awesome out of Thy Holy places:
the God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be GOD!
1 (To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim[Lilies], Psalm of David).
Save me, GOD;
for the waters are come in to my soul.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:
I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried:
my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4
They hated Me without cause are more than the hairs of My head:
they that would destroy Me, Joh 15:25
being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
then I restored that which I took not away.
5 GOD, Thou know my foolishness;
and my sins are not hid from Thee.
6
Let not them that wait on Thee, Lord JeHoVaH of Sabaoth, be ashamed for My sake.
Let not those that seek Thee be confounded for My sake, God of Israel.
7
Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach;
shame has covered my face.
8 I have been a stranger to my brethren,
and an alien to my mother's children.
9 For the zeal of Thy house devoured Me; Joh 2:17
and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me. Rom 15:3
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 shekar-drinkers.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to Thee, LORD, in an acceptable time:
GOD, in the multitude of Thy mercy reply 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 water-flood overflow me,
let not the deep swallow me up,
and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, LORD; for Thy kindness is good:
turn to me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.
17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant;
for I am in trouble: reply me speedily.
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it:
deliver me because of my enemies.
19 Thou have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
my adversaries are all before Thee.
20 Reproach has 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 food;
and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink. Mat 27:34 Mat 27:48
22 Let their table be made a snare,
and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them. Rom 11:9
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
and bow down their back always. Rom 11:10
24 Pour out Thy indignation upon them,
and let Thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let his habitation be desolate,
and let be none dwelling in it: Act 1:20
26 for they persecute him whom Thou have smitten;
and they talk to the grief of those whom Thou have wounded.
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity:
and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life,
and not be written with the righteous.
29
But I am poor and sorrowful:
let Thy Salvation, 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 bull that has horns and hoofs.
32
The humble shall see this, and be glad:
and your heart shall live that seek GOD.
33 For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not His prisoners.
34 Let the Heavens and Earth Praise Him, the seas, and everything that moves in it.
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 in it.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David to bring to remembrance).
GOD, to deliver me;
LORD make haste to help me.[variant]. Psa 40:13-17
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 to me, GOD:
Thou are my Help and my Deliverer; LORD, make no delay.
1 In Thee, LORD, do I put my trust:
let me never be ashamed.
2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
incline Thy ear to me, and save me.
3 Be a Rock of refuge for me, to which I may continually resort:
Thou have given Commandment to save me;
for Thou are my Rock and my Fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For Thou are my hope, Lord JeHoVaH:
Thou are my trust from my youth.
6 By Thee have I been held from the belly;
Thou are He who brought me out of my mother's womb:
my praise shall be continually of Thee.
7 I am as a wonder to many;
but Thou are 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 fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
and they that lay in wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 saying, GOD has forsaken him: persecute and take him;
for there is none to deliver him.
12 God, be not far from me: 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 show forth Thy righteousness and Thy Salvation all the day;
for I know not the numbers.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord JeHoVaH:
I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thy only.
17 GOD, Thou have taught me from my youth:
and until now have I declared Thy wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and grey-headed, GOD, forsake me not;
until I have shown Thy arm to this generation,
and Thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness also, GOD, is very high,
who have done great things: GOD, who is like to Thee!
20 Thou, who have shown me great and severe troubles, will revive me again,
and will bring me again from the abysses of the Earth.
21 Thou will increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise Thee with the psaltery, even Thy truth, my God:
to Thee will I sing-psalms with the harp, Thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing-psalms to Thee;
and my soul, which Thou have redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the day long:
for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
1 (Psalm for Solomon).
Give the king Thy Judgments, GOD,
and Thy righteousness to 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 until there be no moon.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river to the ends of the Earth.
9 Desert-dwellers 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 Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him:
all nations shall serve Him.
12 For He shall deliver the needy when he cries;
the poor also, and him that has 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 be their blood in His sight.
15 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 bless him.
16 There shall be a handful of grain in the Earth upon the top of the mountains;
the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon:
and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the Earth.
17 His Name shall endure forever:
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 does wondrous things!
19 Blessed be His glorious Name forever:
and let all the Earth be filled with His glory! Amen, and Amen!
20 [The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended].
1 [Part 3].
(Psalm of Asaph).
Truly GOD is good to Israel,
even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone;
my steps had well near 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 afflicted like other men.
6 Therefore pride surrounds them as a chain;
violence covers 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 walks through the Earth.
10 Therefore His people return here:
and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does 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 Truly I have cleansed my heart in vain,
and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been afflicted,
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 I understood their end.
18 Surely, Thou did set them in slippery places:
Thou did cast them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakens;
so, Lord, when Thou awake, Thou will despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved,
and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant:
I have been as a beast before Thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with Thee:
Thou have held me by my right hand.
24 Thou will 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 besides Thee.
26 My flesh and my heart fails:
but GOD is the Rock[Strength] of my heart, and my Portion forever.
27 For behold, they that are far from Thee shall perish:
Thou have destroyed all them that go astray from Thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to GOD:
I have put my trust in the Lord JeHoVaH,
that I may declare all Thy works.
1 (Maschil of Asaph).
GOD, why have Thou cast us off forever?
Why does Thy anger smoke against the sheep of Thy pasture?
2 Remember Thy Congregation, which Thou have purchased of old:
the rod of Thy inheritance, which Thou have redeemed;
this Mount Zion, in which Thou have dwelt.
3 Lift up Thy feet to the perpetual desolations;
even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the Sanctuary.
4 Thy enemies roar in the middle 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.
6 But now they break down the carved work of it 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 Congregations of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet:
neither is there among us any that knows until when.
10 GOD, until when shall the adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy Name forever?
11 Why withdraw 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 middle of the Earth.
13 Thou did divide the sea by Thy strength:
Thou did break the heads of the monsters in the waters.
14 Thou did break the head of Leviathan in pieces,
and did give him to be food to the desert-dwellers.
15 Thou did cleave the fountain and the flood:
Thou did dry up mighty rivers.
16 The day is Thy, the night also is Thy:
Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou have set all the borders of the Earth:
Thou have made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, the enemy has reproached, LORD,
and the foolish people have blasphemed Thy Name.
19 Deliver not the soul of Thy turtledove to the beasts:
forget not the Congregation of Thy poor forever.
20 Have respect to the Covenant:
for the dark places of the Earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Let not the oppressed return ashamed:
let the poor and needy praise Thy Name.
22 Arise, GOD, plead Thy own cause:
remember how the foolish man reproaches Thee daily.
23 Forget not the voice of Thy enemies:
the tumult of those that rise against Thee increases continually.
1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith[do not destroy], Psalm and Song of Asaph).
To Thee, GOD, do we give thanks,
to 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 its inhabitants are dissolved:
I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah).
4 I said to 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 comes neither from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the desert.
7 But GOD is the judge:
He puts down one, and sets up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD is a cup of foaming wine, full of mixture,
and He pours out of the same:
but the dregs of it all the wicked of the Earth shall drain, and drink them. Rev 14:10
9 But I will declare forever; I will sing-psalms 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.
1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm and Song of Asaph).
In 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 He broke the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah).
4 Thou are more brilliant and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled,
they have slept their sleep:
and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At Thy rebuke, God of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou, awesome Thou:
and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou are angry?
8 Thou did 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 will Thou restrain.
11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God:
let all that are about Him bring presents to Him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
He is awesome to the kings of the Earth.
1 (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, Psalm of Asaph).
I cried to GOD with my voice,
even to GOD with my voice; and He gave ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
my hand ran in the night, and 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 hold my 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 my own heart:
and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favourable no more?
8 Is His mercy wholly gone forever?
Does His promise fail from generation to generation?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? (Selah).
10 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 JaH:
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, GOD, is in the Sanctuary:
who is a great God as GOD!
14 Thou are the God that do wonders:
Thou have declared Thy strength among the people.
15 Thou have with Thy arm redeemed Thy people,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah).
16 The waters saw Thee, GOD, the waters saw Thee;
they were afraid: the abysses also were disturbed.
17 The clouds poured out water:
the skies sent out a sound:
Thy arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of Thy thunder was in the Orb:
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 led Thy people like a flock,
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
1 (Maschil of Asaph).
Give ear, my people, to my law:
incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open My mouth in parables;
I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation[of the World]. Mat 13:35
3 Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,
showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,
and His strength, and His wonderful works that He has 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 who 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 steadfast 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 forgot His works,
and His wonders that He had shown them.
12 Marvellous things did He in the sight 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 a heap.
14 In the day-time also He led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a light of fire.
15 He cleaved the rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink as out of the great abysses.
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 food for their desire.
19 They spoke 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;
He gave them Bread from Heaven to eat. Joh 6:31
25 Man ate Angels' food: He sent them food 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 He let it fall in the middle of their camp,
around their habitations.
29 So they ate, and were well filled:
for He gave them their own desire;
30 they were not estranged from their desire:
but while their food 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 inquired early after God.
35 And they remembered that GOD was their Rock,
and the God Most High their Redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,
and they lied to Him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with Him,
neither were they steadfast in His Covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion,
forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not:
yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
and did not stir up all His wrath.
39 For He remembered that they were but flesh;
a wind that passes away, and comes not again.
40 How often did they provoke Him in the wilderness,
and grieve Him in the desert!
41 Yes, 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.
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 swarms of flies among them, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar,
and their labour to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycamore-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 path to His anger;
He spared not their soul from death,
but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51 and smote all the first-born 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 He led them on safely, so that they feared not:
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 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 GOD Most High,
and kept not His Testimonies:
57 but turned back, and dealt unfaithfully 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 over His people also to 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 shouts by reason of wine.
66 He smote His enemies in the hinder part:
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 He built His Sanctuary like high palaces,
like the Earth which He has established forever.
70 He chose David also His servant,
and took him from the sheep-folds:
71 from following the ewes great with young He brought him,
to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart;
and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
1 (Psalm of Asaph).
GOD, the heathen have come into Thy inheritance;
Thy Holy Temple have they defiled;
they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2 The carcasses of Thy servants have they given to be food to the fowls of the air,
the flesh of Thy Saints, to the beasts of the Earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem;
and there was none to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbours,
a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5 Until when, LORD? Will Thou be angry forever?
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 Remember not against us former iniquities:
let Thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, God of our Salvation, for the glory of Thy Name:
and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy Name's sake.
10 Why should the heathen say, Where is their God?
Let Him be known among the heathen in our sight by avenging the blood of Thy servants which is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before Thee;
according to the greatness of Thy arm preserve Thou those that are children of death;
12 and render to our neighbours seven-fold into their bosom their reproach,
with which they have reproached Thee, Lord.
13 So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks forever:
we will show forth from generation to generation Thy praise.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth[Lilies of Testimony], Psalm of Asaph).
Give ear, Shepherd of Israel,
Thou that lead Joseph like a flock;
Thou that dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up Thy strength,
and come and save us.
3 Turn us back, GOD,
and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4
LORD, GOD of Sabaoth,
until when will Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?
5 Thou feed them with the bread of tears;
and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Thou make us a strife to our neighbours:
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us back, GOD of Sabaoth,
and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8
Thou have brought a vine out of Egypt:
Thou have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou prepared room before it,
and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with the shade of it,
and its boughs were like the cedars of God.
11 She sent out her boughs to the sea,
and her branches to the river.
12 Why have Thou then broke down her hedges,
so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
13 A swine from the wood does waste it,
and the wild Beast of the Field does devour it.
14 Return, we beseech Thee, GOD of Sabaoth:
look down from Heaven, and behold, and visit this vine.
15
And the Vineyard which Thy right hand planted,
and the Branch whom Thou made strong for Thyself.
16 It is burnt 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 made strong for Thyself.
18 So will we not go back from Thee: revive us,
and we will call upon Thy Name.
19 Turn us back, LORD, GOD of Sabaoth,
and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Gittith, Psalm of Asaph).
Sing aloud to GOD our Strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
2 Take a melody, and bring here the timbrel,
the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Blow the shofar in the New Moon,
in the time appointed, on our solemn Festival day.
4 For this is a statute for Israel,
and a law of the God of Jacob.
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.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:
his hands were delivered from the baskets.
7 Thou called in trouble, and I delivered Thee;
I answered Thee in the secret place of thunder:
I proved Thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah).
8 Hear, My people, and I will testify to Thee;
Israel, if Thou will listen to Me;
9 there shall no strange god be in Thee;
neither shall Thou worship any strange god.
10 I AM the LORD Thy God who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt:
open Thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But My people would not listen to My voice;
and Israel would not obey Me.
12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust:
and they walked in their own counsels.
13 That My people had listened to 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 to Him:
and their time should have endured forever.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:
and with honey out of the Rock I should have satisfied Thee.
1 (Psalm of Asaph).
GOD stands in the Congregation of God;
He judges among the GODS.
2 Until when will ye judge unjustly,
and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah).
3 Defend the poor and fatherless:
do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy:
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand;
they walk on in darkness:
all the foundations of the Earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are GODS; Joh 10:34
and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, GOD, judge the Earth: for Thou will inherit all nations.
1 (Psalm and Song of Asaph).
Keep not Thou silence, GOD:
hold not Thy peace, and be not still, God.
2 For behold, Thy enemies make a tumult:
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 in heart together:
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;
8 Assyria also is joined with them:
they were an arm for the children of Lot. (Selah).
9 Do to them as to the Midianites;
as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 who perished at En-Dor:
they became as dung for the Earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 who said, Let us inherit for ourselves the habitations of GOD.
13 My God, make them like a wheel;
as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burns a wood,
and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
15 so persecute them with Thy tempest,
and make them afraid with Thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame;
that they may seek Thy Name, LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever;
yes, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 that men may know that Thou, whose Name alone is JeHoVaH,
are the Most High above all the Earth.
1 (To the chief Musician upon Gittith, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
How amiable are Thy Tabernacles,
LORD of Sabaoth!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD:
my heart and My flesh cries out for the Living God.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a house,
and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
even Thy Altars, LORD of Sabaoth, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house:
they will be still praising Thee! (Selah).
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee;
in whose heart are the ways of them!
6 Who passing through the valley of mulberry-trees make it a well;
the rain also fills the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
every one of them in Zion appears before GOD.
8 LORD, GOD of Sabaoth, hear my prayer:
give ear, God of Jacob. (Selah).
9 Behold, GOD our Shield, and look upon the face of Thy anointed.
10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a door-keeper in the House of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD GOD is a Sun and Shield:
the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good-will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 LORD of Sabaoth,
blessed is the man that trusts in Thee.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
LORD, Thou have been favourable to Thy land:
Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of Thy people,
Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah).
3 Thou have taken away all Thy wrath;
Thou have turned thyself from the fierceness of Thy anger.
4 Turn us, God of our Salvation,
and cause Thy anger towards us to cease.
5 Will Thou be angry with us forever?
Will Thou draw out Thy anger from generation to generation?
6 Will Thou not revive us again:
that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
7 Show us Thy mercy, LORD, and grant us Thy Salvation.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak:
for He will speak peace to His people, and to His Saints:
but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely, His Salvation is near them that fear Him;
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the Earth;
and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good;
and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him;
and shall set us in the way of His steps.
1 (Prayer of David).
Bow down Thy ear, LORD, reply me:
for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am Holy:
Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusts in Thee.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord:
for I cry to Thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant:
for to Thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For Thou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
and abundant in mercy to all those that call upon Thee.
6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer;
and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee:
for Thou will answer me.
8 Among the GODS there is none like Thee, Lord;
neither are there any works like Thy works.
9 All nations whom Thou have made shall come and worship before Thee, Lord;
and shall glorify Thy Name.
10 For Thou are great, and do wondrous things:
Thou are GOD alone.
11 Teach me Thy way, LORD; I will walk in Thy truth:
unite my heart to fear Thy Name.
12 I will praise Thee, LORD my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify Thy Name forever.
13 For great is Thy mercy towards me:
and Thou have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14 GOD, the proud have risen against me,
and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul;
and have not set Thee before them.
15 But Thou, Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious;
patient, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy upon me;
give Thy strength to Thy servant,
and save the son of Thy handmaid.
17 Show me a token for good;
that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed:
because Thou, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
1 (Psalm and Song for the sons of Korah).
His foundation is in the Holy Mounts.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion,
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, city of GOD. (Selah).
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her:
and the Most High Himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when He writes 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.
1 (Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite).
LORD, God of my Salvation,
I have cried day and night before Thee:
2 Let my prayer come before Thee:
incline Thy ear to my cry;
3 for my soul is full of troubles:
and my life draws near to Sheol.
4 I have been counted with them that go down into the pit:
I have been like a man without strength:
5 free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
whom Thou remember no more: and they are cut off from Thy hand.
6 Thou have laid me in the lowest pit,
in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Thy wrath lies hard upon me,
and Thou have afflicted me with all Thy waves. (Selah).
8 Thou have put away my acquaintance far from me;
Thou have made me an abomination to them:
I am shut up, and I cannot to come forth.
9 My eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD,
I have called daily upon Thee,
I have stretched out my hands to Thee.
10 Thou will show wonders to the dead?
The dead shall arise and praise Thee? (Selah).
11 Shall Thy kindness 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 to Thee have I cried, LORD;
and in the morning shall my prayer come before Thee.
14 LORD, why cast Thou off my soul?
Why hide 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 goes over me;
Thy terrors have cut me off.
17 They came around me daily like water;
they surrounded me together.
18 Lover and friend have Thou put far from me,
and my acquaintance into darkness.
1 (Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite).
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever:
with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness from generation to generation.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever:
Thy faithfulness will Thou establish in the very Heavens.
3 I have made a Covenant with My chosen,
I have sworn to David My servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish forever,
and build up Thy throne from generation to generation. (Selah).
5 And the Heavens shall praise Thy wonders, LORD;
Thy faithfulness also in the Congregation of the Saints.
6 For who in the Heaven can be compared to the LORD?
Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the Saints,
and to be had in reverence by all them that are about Him.
8 LORD, God of Sabaoth, who is a strong JaH like to Thee?
Or to Thy faithfulness around Thee?
9 Thou rule the raging of the sea:
when its waves arise, Thou still them.
10 Thou have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
Thou have scattered Thy enemies with Thy strong arm.
11 The Heavens are Thy, the Earth also is Thy:
as for the World, and the fullness of it, Thou have founded them.
12 The north and the right[south] Thou have created them:
Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy Name.
13 Thou have 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 are the people that know the joyful sound:
they shall walk, 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 are the glory of their strength:
and in Thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the LORD is our Shield;
and the Holy One of Israel is our King.
19 Then Thou did speak in vision to Thy Holy One, and say,
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:
My arm also shall strengthen Him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon Him;
nor the son of wickedness afflict Him.
23 I will beat down His adversaries before His face,
and afflict 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 to Me, Thou are My Father,
my God, and the Rock of my Salvation.
27 Also I will make Him My First-Born,
higher than the kings of the Earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for Him forever,
and My Covenant shall stand fast with Him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure forever,
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 kindness will I not utterly take from Him,
nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
34 My Covenant will I not break,
nor alter the thing that has gone out of My lips.
35 Once have I sworn by My Holiness that I will not lie to David.
36 His seed shall endure forever,
and His throne as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever as the moon,
and as a faithful witness in Heaven. (Selah).
38 But Thou have cast off and abhorred,
Thou have been wroth with Thy anointed.
39 Thou have made void the Covenant of Thy servant:
Thou have profaned His crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Thou have broken down all his hedges;
Thou have brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way plunder him:
he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Thou have set up the right hand of his adversaries;
Thou have made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Thou have also turned the edge of his sword,
and have not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Thou have made his glory to cease,
and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth have Thou shortened:
Thou have covered him with shame. (Selah).
46 Until when, LORD, will Thou hide Thyself?
Forever? Shall Thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is:
why have Thou made all men in vain?
48 What man is he who lives, and shall not see death?
Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol? (Selah).
49 Lord, where are Thy former kindnesses,
which Thou did swear to 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 with which Thy enemies have reproached, LORD;
with which they have reproached the footsteps of Thy anointed.
52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen!
1 [Part 4].
(Prayer of Moses the man of GOD).
Lord, Thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever Thou had formed the Earth and the World,
even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou are God.
3 Thou turn man to destruction; and say, 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 carry them away as with a flood;
they are as a sleep;
in the morning they are like grass which grows;
6 in the morning it flourishes, and grows;
in the evening it is cut down, and withers.
7
For we are consumed by Thy anger,
and by Thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou have 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 seventy years;
and if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Thy anger?
Even according to Thy fear, so is Thy wrath.
12
So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Return, LORD, until when?
And relent Thou concerning Thy servants.
14 Satisfy us early with Thy mercy;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days in which Thou have afflicted us,
and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Thy work appear to Thy servants,
and Thy glory to 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;
yes, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
1 He who dwells 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.
4 He shall cover Thee with His feathers,
and under His wings shall Thou trust:
His truth shall be Thy shield and rampart.
5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wastes at noon.
7 A thousand shall fall at Thy side,
and myriad at Thy right hand;
but it shall not come near Thee.
8 Only with Thy eyes shall Thou behold,
and see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because Thou have made the LORD who is my refuge,
even the Most High, Thy habitation.
10 There shall no evil befall Thee,
neither shall any plague come near Thy tent.
11 He shall give His Angels charge concerning Thee:
to keep Thee in all Thy ways. Mat 4:6
12 They shall bear Thee up on their hands they shall uphold Thee,
lest Thou may dash Thy foot against a stone. Mat 4:6
13 Thou shall tread upon the lion and asp:
the young lion and the monster shall Thou trample under feet;
14 because He has set His love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he has 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 show him My Salvation.
1 (Psalm or Song for the Sabbath day).
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD,
and to sing-psalms to Thy Name, Most High.
2 To show forth Thy kindness in 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, have made me glad through Thy work:
I will triumph in the works of Thy hands.
5 LORD, how great are Thy works!
And Thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knows not;
neither does a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass,
and when all the workers of lawlessness do flourish;
it is that they shall be destroyed forever.
8
But Thou, LORD, are exalted forever.
9
For behold, Thy enemies, LORD, for behold, Thy enemies shall perish;
all the workers of lawlessness shall be scattered.
10 But My horn shall Thou exalt like the horn of a rhino:
I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies,
and my 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 are planted in the House of the LORD,
in the courts of our God, shall flourish.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 to show that the LORD is upright:
He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
1 The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
the LORD is clothed with strength,
He has girded Himself:
the World also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old:
Thou are from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, LORD,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift their waves.
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy Testimonies are very sure:
Holiness becomes Thy house, LORD, forever.
1 LORD, God of vengeance;
God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Lift up Thyself, Thou judge of the Earth:
render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, until when shall the wicked,
until when shall the wicked triumph?
4 Until when shall they utter and speak hard things?
And all the workers of lawlessness boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces Thy people,
LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, JaH will not see,
neither will the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people:
and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who chastises the heathen, shall He not correct?
He who teaches man knowledge?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise men,
that they are vain. 1Co 3:20
12 Blessed is the man whom Thou chasten,
JaH, and teach him out of Thy Law;
13 that Thou may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit be dig for the wicked!
14 For the LORD will not cast off His people,
neither will He forsake His inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return to righteousness:
and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of lawlessness?
17 Unless the LORD had been my Help,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slips;
Thy mercy, 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 frames mischief by a Statute?
21 They assemble themselves against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my High Tower[Defence];
and my God is the Rock of my refuge.
23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity,
and will cut them off in their own wickedness;
yes, the LORD our God will cut them off.
1 Come, let us sing to 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 to Him with songs.
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.
6 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. Today, if ye will hear His voice, Heb 3:7
8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation[Meribah],
and as in the day of temptation[Massah] in the wilderness: Heb 3:8
9 when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My work. Heb 3:9
10 Forty years. Therefore I was grieved with that generation,
and said, They do always go astray in their heart;
and they have not known My ways. Heb 3:9-10
11 To whom I swore in My wrath,
if they shall enter into My rest. Heb 4:3 Heb 4:5
1 Sing to the LORD a new song.
Sing to the LORD, all the Earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His Name;
show forth His Salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the heathen,
His wonders among all peoples.
4
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
He is to be feared above all GODS.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols:
but the LORD made the Heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before Him:
strength and beauty are in His Sanctuary.
7
Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people.
Give to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give to the LORD the glory due to His Name:
bring an offering, and come into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness:
fear before Him, all the Earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns:
the World also shall be established that it shall not be moved:
He will judge the people righteously.
11
Let the Heavens rejoice, and let the Earth be glad.
Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it:
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:
13 for He comes, for He comes to judge the Earth:
He will judge the World with righteousness,
and the people with His truth.
1 The LORD reigns; let the Earth rejoice;
let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him:
righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His throne.
3 A fire goes before Him,
and burns up His enemies around.
4 His lightnings enlightened the World:
the Earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the Lord of all the 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;
let all the Angels of GOD worship Him. Heb 1:6
8 Zion heard, and was glad;
and the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
because of Thy Judgments, LORD.
9 For Thou, LORD, are the Most High above all the Earth:
Thou are exalted far above all GODS.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
He preserves the souls of His Saints;
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous;
and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.
1 (Psalm).
Sing to the LORD a new song;
for He has done marvellous things:
His right hand, and His Holy arm, has worked Salvation for Him.
2 The LORD has made known His Salvation:
His righteousness has He openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His truth towards the House of Israel:
all the ends of the Earth have seen the Salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the Earth:
make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing-psalms.
5 Sing-psalms to the LORD with the harp;
with the harp, and the voice of a melody.
6 With trumpets and the voice of the shofar,
make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it,
the World, and they that dwell in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands:
let the mountains be joyful together.
9 Before the LORD; for He comes to judge the Earth:
with righteousness will He judge the World, and the people with equity.
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble:
He sets between the cherubim; let the Earth be moved.
2 The LORD is great in Zion;
and He is high above all peoples.
3 Let them praise Thy great and awesome Name;
Holy is He.
4 The king's strength also loves judgment;
Thou do establish equity,
Thou execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His stool of His feet;
Holy is He.
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 spoke to them in the cloudy pillar:
they kept His Testimonies, and the Statute that He gave them.
8 Thou did answer them, LORD our God:
Thou were a God that forgave them,
though Thou took vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His Holy Mount;
for the LORD our God is Holy.
1 (Psalm of Praise).
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the Earth.
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 has 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 to Him, and bless His Name.
5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting;
and His truth endures from generation to generation.
1 (Psalm of David).
I will sing of mercy and judgment:
to Thee, LORD, will I sing-psalms.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
When will Thou come to me?
I will walk within My house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it shall not cleave to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will not know a wicked person.
5
Whoever privily slanders his neighbour, him will I cut off:
him that has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with Me:
He who walks in a perfect way shall serve Me.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within My house:
he who tells lies shall not tarry in My sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;
that I may cut off all workers of lawlessness from the city of the LORD.
1 (Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and pours out his complaint before the LORD).
Hear my prayer, LORD, and let my cry come to Thee.
2 Hide not Thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;
incline Thy ear to me: in the day when I call, answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke,
and my bones are burned as a 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 have been like a pelican of the wilderness:
I have been like a little owl of the desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the roof.
8 My enemies reproach me all the day;
and they that are enraged against me are sworn against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 because of Thy indignation and Thy wrath:
for Thou have lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declines;
and I am withered like grass.
12 But Thou, LORD, shall endure forever;
and Thy remembrance from generation to generation.
13 Thou shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion:
for the time to favour her, for the set time, is come.
14 For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
and favour its dust.
15 So the heathen shall fear the Name of the LORD:
and all the kings of the Earth Thy glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion,
He will 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 HalleluJaH!
19
For He has looked down from the height of His Sanctuary;
from Heaven has the LORD beheld the Earth;
20 to hear the groaning of the prisoner;
to loose those that are children of death;
21 to declare the Name of the LORD in Zion,
and His praise in Jerusalem;
22 when the people are assembled,
and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength in the way;
He shortened my days.
24 I said, my God, take me not away in the middle of my days:
Thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Thou, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the Earth,
and the Heavens are the works of Thy hands. Heb 1:10
26 They shall perish; but Thou remain: and they all shall become old as does a garment;
as a vesture will Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: Heb 1:11-12
27 but Thou are the same, and Thy years shall not fail. Heb 1:12
28 The children of Thy servants shall continue,
and their seed shall be established before Thee.
1 (Psalm of David).
Bless the LORD,
my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name.
2 Bless the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
3 who forgives all Thy iniquities;
who heals all Thy diseases;
4 who redeems Thy life from destruction;
who crowns Thee with kindness and tender mercies;
5 who satisfies Thy mouth with good things;
so that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executes righteousness,
and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always chide:
neither will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins;
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the Heaven is high above the Earth,
so great is His mercy towards them that fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pities his children,
so the LORD pities them that fear Him.
14 For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass:
as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone;
and its place 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 to children's children;
18 to such as keep His Covenant,
and to those that remember His precepts to do them.
19 The LORD has prepared His throne in the Heavens;
and His Kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye His Angels,
that excel in strength, that do His Commandments,
listening to the voice of His word.
21 Bless 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, my soul.
1 Bless the LORD, my soul.
LORD my God, Thou are very great;
Thou are clothed with honour and majesty;
2 who cover Thyself with light as with a garment:
who stretch out the Heavens like a curtain:
3 who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters:
who makes the clouds his chariot:
who walks upon the wings of the wind:
4 who makes His Angels spirits,
and His ministers a flame of fire. Heb 1:7
5 Who laid the foundations of the Earth,
that it should not be removed forever.
6 Thou covered it with the Abyss 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 go down by the valleys;
to the place which Thou have founded for them.
9 Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the Earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys,
which run among the mountains.
11 They give drink to every Beast of the Field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation,
which sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from His chambers:
the Earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.
14 He causes 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 makes glad the heart of man,
and oil to make his face to shine,
and bread which strengthens man's heart.
16 The trees of the LORD are satisfied;
the cedars of Lebanon, which He has planted;
17 where the birds make their nests:
as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
18 The high mountains are a refuge for the wild goats;
and the rocks for the rock hyraxes.
19 He appoints the moon for seasons:
the sun knows his going down.
20 Thou make darkness, and it is night:
in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 The young lions roar after their prey,
and seek their food from God.
22 The sun arises, they collect,
and lay themselves down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth to his work,
and to his labour until the evening.
24 LORD, how manifold are Thy works!
In wisdom have Thou made them all:
the Earth is full of Thy riches.
25 So is this great and wide sea,
in which are creeping animals innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships: there is that Leviathan,
which Thou have made to play in it.
27 These wait all upon Thee;
that Thou may give them their food in due season.
28 That which Thou give them, they gather:
Thou open Thy hand, they are filled with good.
29 Thou hide Thy face, they are troubled:
Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Thou send forth Thy Spirit, they are created:
and Thou renew the face of the Earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever:
the LORD shall rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the Earth, and it trembles:
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live:
I will sing-psalms 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 sinners be consumed out of the Earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless Thou the LORD, my soul. HalleluJaH!
1 Give thanks to the LORD;
call upon His Name:
make known His deeds among the people.
2 Sing to Him, sing-psalms to 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.
4 Seek the LORD, and His strength.
Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His wonderful works that He has done;
His wonders, and the Judgments of His mouth;
6 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 has remembered His Covenant forever,
the word which He commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which Covenant He made with Abraham,
and His oath to Isaac;
10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a Statute,
and to Israel for an Everlasting Covenant:
11 saying, To Thee will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance.
12 When they were a few men in number;
yes, very few, and strangers in it.
13 And when they went from one nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people;
14
He permitted no man to do them wrong:
yes, He reproved kings for their sakes;
15 saying, Touch not My anointed,
and do My prophets no harm.
16 Moreover, He called for a famine upon the land:
He broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them,
even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 they hurt his feet with chains;
his soul came into 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:
22 to bind his princes at his pleasure;
and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt;
and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 He increased His people greatly;
and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people,
to deal subtle with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant;
and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They showed 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 in abundance frogs,
in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
and lice in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees;
and broke the trees of their borders.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came,
and caterpillars without number,
35 and ate up all the herbs in their land,
and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,
the chief of all their strength.
37 He led them out 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 He brought forth His people with joy,
His chosen with gladness:
44 and gave them the lands of the heathen:
and they inherited the labour of the peoples;
45 that they might observe His Statutes,
and keep His Laws. HalleluJaH!
1 HalleluJaH!
Give thanks to the LORD; for He is good:
for His mercy endures forever.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?
Who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment,
and He who does righteousness at all times!
4 Remember me, LORD, with the favour that Thou bear to Thy people:
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 Thy 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 abysses, as through the wilderness.
10 He saved them from the hand 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 they believed His words;
they sang His praise.
13 They soon forgot His works;
they waited not for His counsel:
14 but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
and tempted God in the desert.
15 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 worshiped the molten image.
20 Thus they changed their glory,
into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot God their Saviour,
who had done great things in Egypt;
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome 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 Yes, they despised the pleasant land,
they believed not His word:
25 but murmured in their tents,
and listened not to 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 to Baal-peor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions:
and the plague broke in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted to him for righteousness,
from generation to generation forever.
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 spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations,
concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35 but were mingled among the heathen,
and learned their works.
36 And they served their idols:
which were a snare to them.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
38 and shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and played the whore with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people,
insomuch that He abhorred His own inheritance.
41 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 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 He remembered for them His Covenant,
and relented according to the multitude of His mercies.
46 He made them also to be pitied,
by all those that carried them captives.
47 Save us, LORD our God,
and gather us from among the heathen,
to give thanks to 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! HalleluJaH!
1 [Part 5].
Give thanks to the LORD; for He is good:
for His mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom He has 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 sea[in 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 to the LORD in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 He led them forth by the right way,
that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 That men would praise the LORD for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9
For he satisfies the longing soul,
and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death,
being bound in affliction and iron;
11 because they rebelled against the words of God,
and despised 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 to the LORD in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death,
and broke their bands asunder.
15 That men would praise the LORD for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16
For He has broken the gates of bronze,
and cut the bars of iron asunder.
17 Fools, because of their transgression,
and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhors all manner of food;
and they draw near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses.
20 He sent His word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions.
21 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 on great waters;
24 these see the works of the LORD,
and his wonders in the deep.
25 For He commands, and raises the stormy wind,
which lifts up its waves.
26 They mount up to the Heavens,
they go down to the abysses:
their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wisdom end.
28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He makes the storm a calm,
so that the waves are still.
30 Then are they glad because they are quiet;
so He brings them to their desired haven.
31 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 turns rivers into a wilderness,
and the water-springs into dry ground;
34 a fruitful land into saltiness[barrenness],
for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water,
and dry ground into water-springs.
36 And there He makes 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 blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
and permits not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low,
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes,
and causes them to wander in the wilderness,
where there is no way.
41 Yet He sets the poor on high from affliction,
and makes him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice:
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoever is wise, and will observe these things,
even they shall understand the kindness of the LORD.
1 (Psalm and Song of David).
GOD, my heart is fixed;
I will sing and sing-psalms, even with My glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp:
I will awake early.
3 I will praise Thee, LORD, among the people:
and I will sing-psalms to Thee among the nations.
4 For Thy mercy is great above the Heavens:
and Thy truth reaches to the clouds.
5 Be Thou exalted, 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 has spoken in His Holiness; I will rejoice,
I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the strength of My head;
Judah is My lawgiver;
9 Moab is My wash pot;
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 Will not Thou, GOD, who have cast us off?
And will not Thou, GOD, go forth with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
13 Through GOD we shall do valiantly:
for He will tread down our enemies.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
Hold not Thy peace, 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 surrounded me also with words of hatred;
and fought against me without cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries:
but I give myself to 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 of an overseer[bishop]. Act 1:20
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 has;
and let strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to 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 show 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 to 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 to him as the garment which covers him,
and for a girdle with which he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,
and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21
But do Thou for me, Lord JeHoVaH, 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 declines:
I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting;
and my flesh fails of fatness.
25 I have been also a reproach to them:
when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
26 Help me, LORD my God:
save me according to Thy mercy:
27 that they may know that this is Thy hand;
that Thou, LORD, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless Thou: when they arise,
let them be ashamed; but let Thy servant rejoice.
29 Let my 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;
yes, I will Praise Him among the multitude.
31 For He will stand at the right hand of the poor,
to save him from those that condemn his soul.
1 (Psalm of David).
The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand,
until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet. Mat 22:44 Mar 12:36
2 The LORD will send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion:
rule Thou in the middle of Thy 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 have the dew of Thy youth.
4 The LORD has sworn, and will not repent,
Thou are a Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek. Heb 7:21 Heb 5:6 Heb 7:17
5 The Lord at Thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of His wrath.
6 He will judge among the heathen,
He will fill with the dead bodies;
He will wound the heads over many countries.
7 He will drink of the brook in the way:
therefore will He lift up the head.
1 HalleluJaH!

(B)in the assembly of the upright, and in the Congregation.

10 (R)The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
(S) with his teeth he shall gnash, and melt away:
(T) the desire of the wicked shall perish.
1 HalleluJaH!
Praise, ye servants of the LORD.
Praise the Name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the Name of the LORD from now on and forever!
3 From the rising to the setting of the sun,
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 to the LORD our God,
who dwells on high.
6 Who humbles himself to behold,
the things that are in Heaven, and in the Earth!
7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
8 that He may set him with princes,
even with the princes of His people.
9 He makes the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children.
HalleluJaH!
1 When Israel went out of Egypt,
the House of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
2 Judah was His Sanctuary,
Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled:
the Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the little hills, like the sons of the flock.
5 What ailed Thee, Thou sea, that Thou fled?
Thou the Jordan, that Thou were driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams;
ye little hills, like the sons of the flock?
7 Tremble, Thou Earth,
at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 who turned the Rock into a standing water,
the flint into a fountain of waters.
1 Not to us, LORD, not to us,
but to Thy Name give glory,
for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the heathen say,
Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the Heavens:
He has done whatever He 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 them;
so is every one that trusts in them.
9 Israel, trust Thou in the LORD:
He is their Help and their Shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD:
He is their Help and their Shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:
He is their Help and their Shield.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us:
He will bless us;
He will bless the House of Israel;
He will bless the House of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD,
both small and great.
14 The LORD will increase you more and more,
you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD,
who made Heavens and Earth.
16 The Heaven and the Heavens of Heavens belongs to the LORD:
but the Earth has He given to the children of men. Deu 10:14
17 The dead do not praise JaH,
neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless JaH,
from now on and forever. HalleluJaH!
1 I love the LORD,
because He has heard my voice and my supplications;
2 because He has inclined His ear to me,
therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death surrounded me,
and the pains of Sheol came upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I call on the Name of the LORD;
LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple:
I was brought low, and He helped me.
7
Return to Thy rest, my soul;
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with Thee.
8 For Thou have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, and therefore have I spoken:
I was greatly afflicted: 2Co 4:13
11 I said in My haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render to the LORD,
for all his benefits towards me?
13 I will take the Cup of Salvation,
and call on the Name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the eyes of the LORD,
is the death of His Saints.
16 LORD, truly I am Thy servant;
I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid:
Thou have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call on the Name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
now in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the LORD's House,
in the middle of Thee, Jerusalem. HalleluJaH!
1 Praise the LORD, all ye nations;
and laud Him, all ye people. Rom 15:11
2 For His mercy is great towards us:
and the truth of the LORD endures forever. HalleluJaH!
1 Give thanks to the LORD; for He is good:
for His mercy endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say:
for His mercy endures forever.
3 Let the House of Aaron now say:
for His mercy endures forever.
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say:
for His mercy endures forever.
5
I called upon JaH in distress:
JaH answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The LORD is my Helper,
and I will not fear what man shall do to me. Heb 13:6
7 The LORD takes my part with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 Better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 Better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10
All nations surrounded me:
but in the Name of the LORD I will destroy them.
11 They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me:
but in the Name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They surrounded me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
but in the Name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 Thou have violently thrust at me that I might fall:
but the LORD helped me.
14
JaH 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 does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted:
the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of JaH.
18 JaH has chastened me severely:
but He has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter them, and I will praise JaH:
20 this gate of the LORD,
into which the righteous shall enter.
21
I will praise Thee:
for Thou have heard me,
and are become my Salvation.
22
The stone which the builders rejected,
for the same has become the head of the corner. Mat 21:42
23 This came from the LORD,
and it is marvellous in our eyes? Mat 21:42 Mar 12:11
24 This is the day which the LORD has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25
I beseech Thee, LORD Hosanna[save now] LORD,
I beseech Thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed is He who Coming in the Name of the LORD!
We have blessed you out of the House of the LORD! Mar 11:9
27 God is the LORD, who has shown us light:
bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the Altar.
28 Thou are my God, and I will praise Thee:
Thou are my God, I will exalt Thee.
29
Give thanks to the LORD; for He is good:
for His mercy endures forever.

1 (Song of degrees).
In my distress I cried to the LORD,
and He replied me.
2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips,
and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to Thee?
Or what shall be done to Thee,
Thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has long dwelt,
with him that hates peace.
7 I am for peace:
but when I speak, they are for war.
1 (Song of degrees).
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains,
whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
who made Heavens and Earth.
3 He will not allow Thy foot to be moved:
He who keeps Thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel,
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is Thy keeper.
The LORD is Thy shade upon Thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite Thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will preserve Thee from all evil:
He will preserve Thy soul.
8 The LORD will preserve Thy going out,
and Thy coming in from now on and forever.
1 (Song of degrees of David).
I was glad when they said to me,
Let us go into the House of the LORD.
2 Our feet shall stand within Thy gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:
4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of JaH,
to the testimony of Israel,
to give thanks to the Name of the LORD.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment,
the thrones of the House of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love Thee.
7 Peace be within Thy walls,
and prosperity within Thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sake,
I will now say, Peace be within Thee;
9 because of the House of the LORD our God,
I will seek Thy good.
1 (Song of degrees).
To Thee I raise my eyes,
Thou that dwell in the Heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants,
look to the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress;
so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God,
until He shall have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us,
LORD, have mercy upon us;
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning,
of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud.
1 (Song of degrees of David).
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
now may Israel say;
2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when men rose up against us:
3 then they had swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:
5 then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the Name of the LORD,
who made Heavens and Earth.
1 (Song of degrees).
They that trust in the LORD, shall be as Mount Zion,
which cannot be removed, but stays forever.
2 As the mountains are round Jerusalem,
so the LORD is around His people from now on and forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, LORD, to those that are good,
and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways,
the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of lawlessness:
but peace shall be upon Israel.
1 (Song of degrees).
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,
we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing:
then said they among the heathen,
The LORD has done great things for them.
3 The LORD has done great things for us;
of which we are glad.
4 Turn back our captivity, LORD,
as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
1 (Song of degrees for Solomon).
Except the LORD shall build the house,
they labour in vain that build it.
Except the LORD shall keep the city,
the watchman wakes in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise early,
to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
for so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man:
so are children of the youth.
5 Blessed is the man that has his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate!
1 (Song of degrees).
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD;
that walks in His ways!
2 For Thou shall eat the labour of Thy hands:
happy shall Thou be, and it shall be well with Thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of Thy house:
Thy children like olive plants around Thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
5 The LORD shall bless Thee out of Zion:
and Thou shall see the good of Jerusalem,
all the days of Thy life.
6 Yes, Thou shall see Thy children's children,
and peace upon Israel.
1 (Song of degrees).
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth,
may Israel now say:
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The ploughers ploughed upon my back:
they made long their furrows.
4 The LORD is righteous:
He has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the roofs,
which withers before it grows up:
7 with which the reaper fills not his hand;
nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom;
8 neither do they who go by, say,
The blessing of the LORD be upon you:
we bless you in the Name of the LORD.
1 (Song of degrees).
Out of the depths have I cried to Thee, LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice:
let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If Thou, JaH, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is remission with Thee,
that Thou may be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
and in His word do I hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord,
more than they that watch for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD:
for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquity.
1 (Song of degrees of David).
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.
2 Surely, I have stilled and quieted my soul;
like a nursed infant by his mother,
like a nursed infant is my soul within me.
3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from now on and forever.
1 (Song of degrees).
LORD, remember David,
and all his afflictions;
2 how he swore to the LORD,
and vowed to the Mighty of Jacob;
3 Surely, I will not come into the tent of my house,
nor go up into my bedstead of my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes,
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I find a place for the LORD,
a habitation for the Mighty of Jacob.
6 Behold, 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 stool of His feet.
8 Arise, LORD, into Thy rest;
Thou, and the Ark of Thy strength.
9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
and let Thy Saints shout for joy.
10 For Thy servant David's sake,
turn not away the face of Thy anointed.
11 The LORD has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it;
Of the fruit of Thy body will I set upon Thy throne.
12 If Thy children will keep My Covenant,
and My Testimonies that I shall teach them;
their children also shall sit upon Thy throne forever.
13 For the LORD has elected Zion;
He has desired it for His habitation.
14 This is My rest forever:
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 I will make the horn of David to sprout;
I have arranged a Lamp for My Anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame:
but upon Himself shall His crown flourish.
1 (Song of degrees of David).
Behold, how good and how pleasant,
for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard:
that went down to the skirts of his garment;
3 as the dew of Hermon,
and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forever.
1 (Song of degrees).
Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD,
who by night stand in the House of the LORD.
2 Lift up your hands in the Sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
3 May the LORD bless Thee out of Zion,
that made Heavens and Earth.
1 HalleluJaH!
Praise ye the Name of the LORD.
Praise Him, ye servants of the LORD.
2 Ye that stand in the House of the LORD,
in the courts of the House of our God.
3 HalleluJaH!
For the LORD is good;
sing-psalms to His Name; for it is pleasant.
4 For JaH has chosen Jacob to Himself,
and Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great,
and that our Lord is above all GODS.
6 Whatever the LORD pleased, that did He in Heaven,
and in Earth, in the seas, and all abysses.
7 He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the Earth;
He makes lightnings for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasures.
8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt,
both of man and beast.
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the middle of Thee, Egypt,
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations,
and slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 and gave their land for a heritage,
a heritage to Israel His people.
13 Thy Name, LORD, endures forever;
and Thy memorial, LORD, from generation to generation.
14 For the LORD will judge His people,
and He will relent concerning His servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold,
the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not.
17 They have ears, but they hear not;
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like them:
so is every one that trusts in them.
19 Bless the LORD, House of Israel.
Bless the LORD, House of Aaron.
20 Bless the LORD, House of Levi:
ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion,
who dwells at Jerusalem!
HalleluJaH!

2 Give thanks to the God of GODS:

11 And brought out Israel from among them:
for His mercy endures forever.
12 With a strong hand, and with an out-stretched arm:
for His mercy endures forever.
13 To Him who divided the Red Sea into parts:
for His mercy endures forever.
14 And made Israel to pass through the middle of it:
for His mercy endures forever.
15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea:
for His mercy endures forever.
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness:
for His mercy endures forever.
17 To Him who smote great kings:
for His mercy endures forever.
18 And slew famous kings:
for His mercy endures forever.
19 Sihon king of the Amorites:
for His mercy endures forever.
20 Og king of Bashan:
for His mercy endures forever.
21 And gave their land for a heritage:
for His mercy endures forever.
22 Even a heritage to Israel His servant:
for His mercy endures forever.
23 Who remembered us in our low estate:
for His mercy endures forever.
24 And has redeemed us from our enemies:
for His mercy endures forever.
25 Who gives food to all flesh:
for His mercy endures forever.
26 Give thanks to the God of Heaven:
for His mercy endures forever.
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 Upon the willows in the middle of it,
we hung our harps.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth,
saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget Thee, Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget her skill.
6 If I do not remember Thee,
let my tongue cleave to my mouth[palate];
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Raze it, Raze it, even to its foundation.
8 Daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed;
blessed shall he be, that rewards Thee as Thou have served us.
9 Blessed shall he be, that takes and dashes Thy little ones against the rock!
1 (Psalm of David).
I will praise Thee with my whole heart:
before the GODS will I sing-psalms to Thee.
2 I will worship towards Thy Holy Temple,
and praise Thy Name for Thy kindness and for Thy truth:
for Thou have magnified Thy word above all Thy Name.
3 In the day when I cried Thou did answer me,
and strengthen me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the Earth shall praise Thee,
LORD, when they hear the words of Thy mouth.
5 Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD:
for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Though the LORD is high, yet has He respect to the lowly:
but the proud He knows afar off.
7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, Thou will revive me:
Thou will stretch forth Thy hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and Thy right hand will save me.
8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me:
Thy mercy, LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works Thy own hands.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
LORD, Thou have searched me, and known me.
2 Thou know my down-sitting and my up rising,
Thou understand my thought afar off.
3 Thou sift my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
but behold, LORD, Thou know it altogether.
5 Thou have beset me behind and before,
and laid Thy hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Where shall I go from Thy Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from Thy presence?
8 If I ascend into Heaven, Thou are there:
if I make my couch in Sheol, behold, Thou are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
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 Yes, the darkness hides not from Thee;
but the night shines as the day:
the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.
13 For Thou have possessed my reins:
Thou have covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise Thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul well knows.
15 My substance was not hid from Thee when I was made in secret,
and skilfully woven in the lowest parts of the Earth.
16 Thy eyes saw my unformed substance;
and in Thy book all of them were written,
which days they should be fashioned,
when as yet there was not one of them.
17 How precious are Thy thoughts to me, 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 will slay the wicked, God:
depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against Thee wickedly,
and Thy enemies take Thy Name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, 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 my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
try me, and know my thoughts:
24 and see if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man:
preserve me from the violent man;
2 who imagine evil things in their heart;
continually are they assembled for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
the poison of asps is under their lips. Rom 3:13 (Selah).
4 Keep me, 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 way:
they have set traps for me. (Selah).
6 I said to the LORD, Thou are my God:
hear the voice of my supplications, LORD.
7 Lord JeHoVaH, the Strength of my Salvation,
Thou have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, LORD, the desires of the wicked:
further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah).
9 As for the head of those that surround me,
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 again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established on the Earth:
evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor.
13 Surely, the righteous shall give thanks to Thy Name:
the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
1 (Psalm of David).
LORD, I cry to Thee:
make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to Thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense;
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing,
to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity:
and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness:
and let him reprove me; it is oil of the head.
Let not my head refuse it;
for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in rocky places,
they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 As when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the Earth;
so are our bones scattered at Sheol mouth.
8 But my eyes are to Thee, Lord JeHoVaH:
in Thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
and the traps of the workers of lawlessness.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets altogether,
while I pass over.
1 (Maschil of David; a prayer when he was in the cave).
I cried to the LORD with my voice;
with my voice to the LORD I made my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before Him;
I showed before Him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
then Thou knew my path. In the way in which I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld,
but there was no man that would know me:
refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried to Thee, LORD:
I said, Thou are my Refuge,
and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors;
for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy Name:
the righteous shall surround me;
for Thou will deal bountifully with me.
1 (Ode of David).
Hear my prayer, LORD, give ear to my supplications:
in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant:
for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
he has smitten my life down to the ground;
he has made me to dwell 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 of Thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands to Thee:
my soul thirsts after Thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah).
7 Reply me speedily, LORD: my spirit fails:
hide not Thy face from me,
lest I be like them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Thy kindness in the morning;
for in Thee do I trust.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk;
for I lift up my soul to Thee.
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies:
I flee to Thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou are my God:
Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Revive me, LORD, for Thy Name's sake:
for Thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of Thy mercy cut off my enemies,
and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am Thy servant.
1 (Psalm of David).
Blessed be the LORD my Rock[Strength],
who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight;
2 my Goodness, and my Fortress; my High Tower, and my Deliverer;
my Shield, and He in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me!
3 LORD, what is man, that Thou take knowledge of Him!
Son of man, that Thou make account of Him!
4 Man is like to vanity:
his days are as a shadow that passes away.
5 Bow Thy Heavens, LORD, and come down:
touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:
shoot Thy arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send Thy hand from above;
rid me, and deliver me out of great waters,
from the hand of strangers;
8 whose mouth speaks vanity,
and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song to Thee, GOD:
upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing-psalms to Thee.
10 It is He that gives Salvation to kings:
who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strangers,
whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12 that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13 that our granaries may be full, affording all manner of store;
that our sheep may bring forth thousands and myriads in our streets:
14 that our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in,
nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Blessed is that people, that is in such a case:
yes, blessed is that people, whose God is the LORD!
1 (Psalm and praise of David).
(A)I will extol Thee, my God,
King; and I will bless Thy Name forever and ever.
2 (B)Every day will I bless Thee;
and I will praise Thy Name forever and ever.
3 (G)Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
and His greatness is unsearchable.
4 (D)Generation to generation shall praise Thy works to another,
and shall declare Thy mighty acts.
5 (E)Thy majesty and the glorious honour I will speak,
and of Thy wondrous works.
6 (V) Of the might and fearful acts shall they speak:
and I will declare Thy greatness.
7 (Z)The memory of Thy great goodness shall abundantly utter,
and shall sing of Thy righteousness.
8 (H)Gracious, and full of compassion is the LORD;
slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 (Th)Good to all is the LORD:
and His tender mercies are over all His works.
10 (J) Thee shall be praised by all Thy works, LORD;
and Thy Saints shall bless Thee.
11 (K) Of The glory of Thy Kingdom shall they speak,
and talk of Thy power.
12 (L)To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
and the glorious majesty of His Kingdom.
13 (M)Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom,
and Thy Dominion endures from generation to generation.
(N) Faithful is GOD in all His words,
and gracious in all His works.
14 (X)The LORD upholds all that fall,
and raises up all those that are bowed down.
15 (O)The eyes of all wait upon Thee;
and Thou give them their food in due season.
16 (P)Thou open Thy hand,
and satisfy the desire of every living creature.
17 (C) Righteous is the LORD in all His ways,
and Holy in all His works.
18 (Q) Near is the LORD to all those that call upon Him,
to all that call upon Him in truth.
19 (R) The desire of them that fear Him will He fulfil:
He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 (S)The LORD preserves all them that loving Him:
but all the wicked will He destroy.
21 (T)The praise of the LORD shall I speak with my mouth:
and let all flesh bless His Holy Name forever and ever.
1 HalleluJaH!
Praise the LORD, my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD:
I will sing-psalms to my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he that has the God of Jacob for his Help,
whose hope is in the LORD his God!
6 Who made Heaven, and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
Who keeps truth forever!
7 Who executes judgment for the oppressed.
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD looses the prisoners.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises them that are bowed down.
The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD preserves the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
10 The LORD will reign forever,
even Thy God, Zion, from generation to generation.
HalleluJaH!
1 HalleluJaH!
for it is good to sing-psalms to our God;
for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2
The LORD builds up Jerusalem:
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds.
4 He tells the number of the stars;
He calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:
His understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek:
He casts the wicked down to the ground.
7
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
sing-psalms upon the harp to our God.
8
Who covers the Heaven with clouds,
who prepares rain for the Earth,
who makes grass to grow upon the mountains;
and herb for the service of man.
9 He gives to the beast His food,
and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse:
He takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear Him,
in those that hope in His mercy.
12
Praise the LORD, Jerusalem.
Praise Thy God, Zion.
13
For He has strengthened the bars of Thy gates;
He has blessed Thy children within Thee.
14 He makes peace in Thy borders,
and fills Thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth His speech upon Earth:
His word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool:
He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
17 He casts forth His ice like morsels:
who can stand before His cold?
18 He sends out His word, and melts them:
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He shows His words to Jacob,
His Statutes and His Judgments to Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with any nation:
and as for His Judgments, they have not known them.
HalleluJaH!
1 HalleluJaH!
Praise ye the LORD from the Heavens.
Praise Him in the heights.
2 Praise ye Him, all His Angels.
Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
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 are above the Heavens.
5
Let them praise the Name of the LORD:
for He commanded, and they were created.
6 He has also established them forever and ever:
He has made a decree which shall not pass.
7
Praise the LORD from the Earth,
ye monsters, and all abysses:
8 fire, and hail; snow, and vapour;
stormy wind fulfilling His Word:
9 mountains, and all hills;
fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 beasts, and all cattle;
creeping animals, and flying bird:
11 kings of the Earth, and all peoples;
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 exalts the horn of His people,
the praise of all His Saints;
of the children of Israel, a people near to Him.
HalleluJaH!
1 HalleluJaH!
Sing to 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-psalms to Him with the timbrel and harp:
4 for the LORD takes 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 peoples;
8 to bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 to execute upon them the judgment written:
this honour have all His Saints.
HalleluJaH!
1 HalleluJaH!
Praise God in His Sanctuary.
Praise Him in the firmament of His power.
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts.
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
3 Praise Him with the voice of the shofar.
Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance.
Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise Him upon the loud cymbals.
Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath HalleluJaH!
HalleluJaH!
