144:1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who traineth my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;

144:2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I take refuge; who subdueth my people under me.

144:3 LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him?

144:4 Man is like unto a breath; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

144:5 O LORD, bow Thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.

144:13 Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store; whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

144:14 Whose oxen are well laden; with no breach, and no going forth, and no outcry in our broad places;

144:15 Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD.

143:1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.

143:2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.

143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

143:4 And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.

143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.

143:6 I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. Selah

143:7 Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

2005-05-23T15:39:00.002-07:00

142:1 (142:1) Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. (142:2) With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.

142:2 (142:3) I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

142:3 (142:4) When my spirit fainteth within me--Thou knowest my path--in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

142:4 (142:5) Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.

142:5 (142:6) I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

142:6 (142:7) Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

142:7 (142:8) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee.

141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee.

141:2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

141:3 Set a guard, O LORD, to my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

141:5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; oil so choice let not my head refuse; for still is my prayer because of their wickedness.

141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words, that they are sweet.

141:7 As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth.

141:8 For mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; in Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul.

141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I withal escape.

140:1 (140:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (140:2) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;

2005-05-23T15:39:00.000-07:00

140:1 (140:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (140:2) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;

140:2 (140:3) Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.

140:3 (140:4) They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah

140:4 (140:5) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.

140:5 (140:6) The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah

140:6 (140:7) I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.

140:7 (140:8) O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,

140:8 (140:9) Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah

140:9 (140:10) As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

140:10 (140:11) Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

140:11 (140:12) A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.

140:12 (140:13) I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.

140:13 (140:14) Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.

2005-05-23T15:38:00.000-07:00

139:1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.

139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.

139:3 Thou measurest my going about and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.

139:5 Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.

139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too high, I cannot attain unto it.

139:7 Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?

139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there.

139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

139:10 Even there would Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand would hold me.

139:11 And if I say: 'Surely the darkness shall envelop me, and the light about me shall be night';

139:12 Even the darkness is not too dark for Thee, but the night shineth as the day; the darkness is even as the light.

139:13 For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.

139:14 I will give thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

139:15 My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

139:16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written--even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

139:17 How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

139:18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.

139:19 If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God--depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;

139:20 Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies--

139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?

139:22 I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.

139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;

139:24 And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.

138:1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

138:1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

138:2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

138:3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

138:4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

138:5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

138:6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

138:8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2005-05-23T15:37:00.000-07:00

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

137:2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

137:3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'

137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?

137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

137:6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.

137:7 Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'

137:8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.

137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

136:10 To Him that smote Egypt in their first-born, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:11 And brought out Israel from among them, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in sunder, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:16 To Him that led His people through the wilderness, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:20 And Og king of Bashan, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:21 And gave their land for a heritage, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:22 Even a heritage unto Israel His servant, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate, for His mercy endureth for ever;

136:24 And hath delivered us from our adversaries, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh, for His mercy endureth for ever.

136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven, for His mercy endureth for ever.

135:3 Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.

135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His own treasure.

135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath He done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

135:7 Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries.

135:8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

135:9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

135:10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

135:12 And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel His people.

135:13 O LORD, Thy name endureth for ever; thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

135:14 For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants.

135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

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

135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

135:19 O house of Israel, bless ye the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless ye the LORD;

133:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

133:2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard; even Aaron's beard, that cometh down upon the collar of his garments;

133:3 Like the dew of Hermon, that cometh down upon the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for ever.

132:1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;

132:2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;

132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;

132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

132:6 Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.

132:7 Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.

132:8 Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.

132:9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.

132:10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.

132:11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

132:12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'

132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:

132:14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.

132:16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

132:17 There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.

132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'

131:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things

131:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.

131:2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother; my soul is with me like a weaned child.

131:3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for ever.

130:1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

130:4 For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

130:7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

130:8 And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

129:1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

129:2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

129:4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

129:5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

129:7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

129:8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

128:1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

128:4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

128:5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

128:6 And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

127:1 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

127:2 It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.

127:3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.

127:4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.

127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

126:1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

126:1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

126:3 The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

126:4 Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

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

126:6 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

125:1 A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

125:1 A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever.

125:3 For the rod of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

125:5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

124:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

124:2 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

124:3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

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

124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

123:1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.

123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.

123:3 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.

123:4 Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.

122:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

122:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

122:2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

122:3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

122:4 Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

122:5 For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

122:7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'

122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

121:5 The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7 The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

121:8 The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.

120:2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

120:3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

120:6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

120:7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

119:7 I will give thanks unto Thee with uprightness of heart, when I learn Thy righteous ordinances.

119:8 I will observe Thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly.

119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man keep his way pure? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.

119:10 With my whole heart have I sought Thee; O let me not err from Thy commandments.

119:11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.

119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I hope in Thine ordinances;

119:44 So shall I observe Thy law continually for ever and ever;

119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision; yet have I not turned aside from Thy law.

119:52 I have remembered Thine ordinances which are of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself.

119:53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake Thy law.

119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

119:55 I have remembered Thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed Thy law.

119:56 This I have had, that I have kept Thy precepts.

119:57 HETH. My portion is the LORD, I have said that I would observe Thy words.

119:83 For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; yet do I not forget Thy statutes.

119:84 How many are the days of Thy servant? When wilt Thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to Thy law.

119:86 All Thy commandments are faithful; they persecute me for nought; help Thou me.

119:94 I am Thine, save me; for I have sought Thy precepts.

119:117 Support Thou me, and I shall be saved; and I will occupy myself with Thy statutes continually.

119:118 Thou hast made light of all them that err from Thy statutes; for their deceit is vain.

119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Thy testimonies.

119:120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of Thee; and I am afraid of Thy judgments.

119:121 AIN. I have done justice and righteousness; leave me not to mine oppressors.

119:122 Be surety for Thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.

119:123 Mine eyes fail for Thy salvation, and for Thy righteous word.

119:124 Deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy, and teach me Thy statutes.

119:125 I am Thy servant, give me understanding, that I may know Thy testimonies.

119:126 It is time for the LORD to work; they have made void Thy law.

119:127 Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.

119:128 Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; every false way I hate.

119:129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul keep them.

119:130 The opening of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

119:131 I opened wide my mouth, and panted; for I longed for Thy commandments.

119:132 Turn Thee towards me, and be gracious unto me, as is Thy wont to do unto those that love Thy name.

119:133 Order my footsteps by Thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, and I will observe Thy precepts.

119:135 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; and teach me Thy statutes.

119:136 Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, because they observe not Thy law.

119:137 TZADE. Righteous art Thou, O LORD, and upright are Thy judgments.

119:138 Thou hast commanded Thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.

119:139 My zeal hath undone me, because mine adversaries have forgotten Thy words.

119:140 Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and Thy servant loveth it.

119:141 I am small and despised; yet have I not forgotten Thy precepts.

119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth.

119:148 Mine eyes forestalled the night-watches, that I might meditate in Thy word.

119:149 Hear my voice according unto Thy lovingkindness; quicken me, O LORD, as Thou art wont.

119:156 Great are Thy compassions, O LORD; quicken me as Thou art wont.

119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; yet have I not turned aside from Thy testimonies.

119:158 I beheld them that were faithless, and strove with them; because they observed not Thy word.

119:159 O see how I love Thy precepts; quicken me, O LORD, according to Thy lovingkindness.

119:160 The beginning of Thy word is truth; and all Thy righteous ordinance endureth for ever.

119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of Thy words.

119:169 TAV. Let my cry come near before Thee, O LORD; give me understanding according to Thy word.

119:170 Let my supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.

119:171 Let my lips utter praise: because Thou teachest me Thy statutes.

119:172 Let my tongue sing of Thy word; for all Thy commandments are righteousness.

119:173 Let Thy hand be ready to help me; for I have chosen Thy precepts.

119:174 I have longed for Thy salvation, O LORD; and Thy law is my delight.

119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise Thee; and let Thine ordinances help me.

119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant; for I have not forgotten Thy commandments.

118:1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.

2005-05-23T15:24:00.000-07:00

118:1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.

118:2 So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,

118:3 So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.

118:4 So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.

118:5 Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.

118:6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

118:7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

118:9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

118:10 All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

118:11 They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

118:12 They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

118:13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.

118:14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.

118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.

118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.

118:20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.

118:21 I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

118:22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.

118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

118:25 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!

118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.

118:27 The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.

118:28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.

118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.

117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations; laud Him, all ye peoples.

2005-05-23T15:23:00.002-07:00

117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations; laud Him, all ye peoples.

117:2 For His mercy is great toward us; and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Hallelujah.

116:1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

2005-05-23T15:23:00.001-07:00

116:1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

116:2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

116:3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.

116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

116:7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

116:9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.

116:10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

116:11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

116:12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?

116:13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

116:14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.

116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

116:16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;

116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.

2005-05-23T15:23:00.000-07:00

115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.

115:2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'

115:3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.

115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

115:6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;

115:7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.

115:8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!

115:10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!

115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, He will bless--He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

115:14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

115:15 Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.

115:16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.

115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;

115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.

114:1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2005-05-23T15:22:00.001-07:00

114:1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

114:2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

114:3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

114:5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

114:8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

113:1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2005-05-23T15:22:00.000-07:00

113:1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever.

113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

113:4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.

113:5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,

113:6 That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?

113:7 Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

113:8 That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.

113:9 Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.

111:1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2005-05-23T15:21:00.000-07:00

111:1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

111:2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

111:3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

111:4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

111:5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

111:6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

111:7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

111:8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

111:9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

2005-05-23T15:20:00.000-07:00

110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

110:2 The rod of Thy strength the LORD will send out of Zion: 'Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.'

110:3 Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare; in adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, thine is the dew of thy youth.

110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent: 'Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek.'

110:5 The Lord at thy right hand doth crush kings in the day of His wrath.

110:6 He will judge among the nations; He filleth it with the dead bodies, He crusheth the head over a wide land.

110:7 He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore will he lift up the head.

109:1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, keep not silence;

2005-05-23T15:19:00.001-07:00

109:1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, keep not silence;

109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me; they have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.

109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

109:4 In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.

109:5 And they have laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love:

109:6 'Set Thou a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand.

109:7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.

109:8 Let his days be few; let another take his charge.

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

109:10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.

109:11 Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.

109:12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; neither let there be any to be gracious unto his fatherless children.

109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be brought to remembrance unto the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

109:16 Because that he remembered not to do kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart he was ready to slay.

109:17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it is far from him.

109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his raiment, and it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.

109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which he putteth on, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.'

109:20 This would mine adversaries effect from the LORD, and they that speak evil against my soul.

109:21 But Thou, O GOD the Lord, deal with me for Thy name's sake; because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.

109:22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.

109:24 My knees totter through fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fatness.

109:25 I am become also a taunt unto them; when they see me, they shake their head.

109:26 Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to Thy mercy;

109:27 That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, LORD, hast done it.

109:28 Let them curse, but bless Thou; when they arise, they shall be put to shame, but Thy servant shall rejoice.

109:29 Mine adversaries shall be clothed with confusion, and shall put on their own shame as a robe.

109:30 I will give great thanks unto the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude;

109:31 Because He standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.

108:1 (108:1) A Song, a Psalm of David. (108:2) My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2005-05-23T15:19:00.000-07:00

108:1 (108:1) A Song, a Psalm of David. (108:2) My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

108:2 (108:3) Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

108:3 (108:4) I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

108:4 (108:5) For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

108:5 (108:6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.

108:6 (108:7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

108:7 (108:8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

108:8 (108:9) Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

108:9 (108:10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

108:10 (108:11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

108:11 (108:12) Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

108:12 (108:13) Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

108:13 (108:14) Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.

107:1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

2005-05-23T15:18:00.002-07:00

107:1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

107:2 So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;

107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.

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

107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.

107:7 And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

107:8 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:9 For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.

107:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron--

107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.

107:12 Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help--

107:13 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.

107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

107:15 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:16 For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

107:17 Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities--

107:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death--

107:19 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;

107:20 He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.

107:21 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing.

107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters--

107:24 These saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;

107:25 For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;

107:26 They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;

107:27 They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up--

107:28 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.

107:29 He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.

107:30 Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.

107:31 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.

107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;

107:34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

107:35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.

107:36 And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

107:37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.

107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

107:39 Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow.

107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

107:41 Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock.

107:42 The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

107:43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.

106:1 Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

2005-05-23T15:18:00.001-07:00

106:1 Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

106:2 Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

106:3 Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

106:4 Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

106:5 That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

106:7 Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

106:8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

106:9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

106:10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

106:11 And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.

106:12 Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.

106:13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;

106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.

106:15 And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

106:16 They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.

106:20 Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

106:21 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

106:23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

106:24 Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;

106:25 And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

106:26 Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

106:27 And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

106:29 Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.

106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.

106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.

106:32 They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;

106:33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

106:34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;

106:35 But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;

106:36 And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;

106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

106:39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.

106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.

106:41 And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.

106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.

106:43 Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.

106:44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;

106:45 And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.

106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.

106:48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah. BOOK V

2005-05-23T15:18:00.000-07:00

105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

2005-05-23T15:16:00.000-07:00

105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

105:2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

105:3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

105:4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.

105:5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

105:6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

105:7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

105:8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

105:9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

105:10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

105:11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

105:12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

105:13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

105:15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

105:16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

105:17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;

105:18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;

105:19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.

105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.

105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;

105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.

105:25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.

105:26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.

105:27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.

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

105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.

105:31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.

105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.

105:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,

105:35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.

105:36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.

105:37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.

105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

105:39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.

105:40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.

105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.

105:42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;

105:43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.

105:44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;

105:45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.

104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

2005-05-23T15:15:00.000-07:00

104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

104:2 Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

104:3 Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;

104:4 Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.

104:5 Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;

104:6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.

104:7 At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away--

104:8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down--unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;

104:9 Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.

104:10 Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains;

104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.

104:12 Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.

104:13 Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.

104:14 Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring forth bread out of the earth,

104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart.

104:16 The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;

104:17 Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies.

104:19 Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down.

104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

104:22 The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens.

104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

104:24 How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures.

104:25 Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great.

104:26 There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.

104:27 All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season.

104:28 Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

104:29 Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, and return to their dust.

104:30 Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.

104:31 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!

104:32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

104:34 Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.

104:35 Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.

103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2005-05-23T15:13:00.000-07:00

103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;

103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquity; who healeth all Thy diseases;

103:4 Who redeemeth Thy life from the pit; who encompasseth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

103:5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; so that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness, and acts of justice for all that are oppressed.

103:7 He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

103:8 The LORD is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

103:9 He will not always contend; neither will He keep His anger for ever.

103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor requited us according to our iniquities.

103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.

103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

103:13 Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath the LORD compassion upon them that fear Him.

103:14 For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

103:15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children;

103:18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His precepts to do them.

103:19 The LORD hath established His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all.

103:20 Bless the LORD, ye angels of His, ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, hearkening unto the voice of His word.

103:21 Bless the LORD, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.

103:22 Bless the LORD, all ye His works, in all places of His dominion; bless the LORD, O my soul.

102:1 (102:1) A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. (102:2) O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my c

102:1 (102:1) A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. (102:2) O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.

102:2 (102:3) Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.

102:3 (102:4) For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.

102:4 (102:5) My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.

102:5 (102:6) By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.

102:6 (102:7) I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

102:7 (102:8) I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.

102:8 (102:9) Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.

102:9 (102:10) For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

102:10 (102:11) Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

102:11 (102:12) My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass.

102:12 (102:13) But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.

102:13 (102:14) Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.

102:14 (102:15) For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.

102:15 (102:16) So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;

102:16 (102:17) When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;

102:17 (102:18) When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer.

102:18 (102:19) This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

102:19 (102:20) For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

102:20 (102:21) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

102:21 (102:22) That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;

102:22 (102:23) When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

102:23 (102:24) He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.

102:24 (102:25) I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.

102:25 (102:26) Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

102:26 (102:27) They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall pass away;

102:27 (102:28) But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.

102:28 (102:29) The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'

101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

2005-05-23T15:11:00.000-07:00

101:1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

101:2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

101:3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

101:4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.

101:5 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

101:6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.

101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

101:8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

100:1 A Psalm of thanksgiving. Shout unto the LORD, all the earth.

2005-05-23T15:10:00.000-07:00

100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; give thanks unto Him, and bless His name.

100:5 For the LORD is good; His mercy endureth for ever; and His faithfulness unto all generations.

99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

2005-05-23T15:06:00.000-07:00

99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

99:2 The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.

99:3 Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

99:4 The strength also of the king who loveth justice--Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

99:6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, and He answered them.

99:7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

99:8 O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

99:9 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

98:1 A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.

2005-05-23T15:05:00.000-07:00

98:1 A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.

98:2 The LORD hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He revealed in the sight of the nations.

98:3 He hath remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

98:4 Shout unto the LORD, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

98:5 Sing praises unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp and the voice of melody.

98:6 With trumpets and sound of the horn shout ye before the King, the LORD.

98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

98:8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the mountains sing for joy together;

98:9 Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

2005-05-23T15:01:00.000-07:00

97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

97:2 Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

97:3 A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.

97:4 His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

97:5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

97:6 The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.

97:7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.

97:8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O LORD.

97:9 For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.

97:10 O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked.

97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

97:12 Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.

96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2005-05-23T15:00:00.001-07:00

96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

96:3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

96:4 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

96:5 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

96:6 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

96:7 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

96:8 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

96:10 Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

96:11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

96:12 Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

96:13 Before the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.

95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

2005-05-23T15:00:00.000-07:00

95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us shout for joy unto Him with psalms.

95:3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods;

95:4 In whose hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.

95:5 The sea is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.

95:6 O come, let us bow down and bend the knee; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

95:7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand. To-day, if ye would but hearken to His voice!

95:8 'Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

95:9 When your fathers tried Me, proved Me, even though they saw My work.

95:10 For forty years was I wearied with that generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known My ways;

95:11 Wherefore I swore in My wrath, that they should not enter into My rest.'

94:1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

2005-05-23T14:59:00.001-07:00

94:1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

94:2 Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.

94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

94:4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.

94:5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.

94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

94:7 And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'

94:8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?

94:9 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

94:10 He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?

94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

94:12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;

94:13 That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

94:14 For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.

94:15 For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.

94:18 If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.

94:19 When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

94:20 Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?

94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

94:22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.

94:23 And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.

93:1 The LORD reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; the LORD is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; yea, the world is established, that it ca

93:1 The LORD reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; the LORD is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved.

93:2 Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.

93:4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.

93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure, holiness becometh Thy house, O LORD, for evermore.

92:1 (92:1) A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day. (92:2) It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;

92:2 (92:3) To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

92:3 (92:4) With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

92:4 (92:5) For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

92:5 (92:6) How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

92:6 (92:7) A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

92:7 (92:8) When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

92:8 (92:9) But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

92:9 (92:10) For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

92:10 (92:11) But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

92:11 (92:12) Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

92:12 (92:13) The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

92:13 (92:14) Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

92:14 (92:15) They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;

92:15 (92:16) To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

91:1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

2005-05-23T14:58:00.000-07:00

91:1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

91:2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

91:3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

91:4 He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

91:6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

91:7 A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

91:9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

91:11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

91:12 They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

91:14 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

91:15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'

90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

90:3 Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'

90:4 For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7 For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.

90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

90:9 For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.

90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.

90:11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?

90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.

90:13 Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.

90:14 O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.

90:16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.

90:17 And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.

2005-05-23T14:54:00.000-07:00

89:1 (89:1) Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. (89:2) I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; to all generations will I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth.

89:2 (89:3) For I have said: 'For ever is mercy built; in the very heavens Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness.

89:3 (89:4) I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:

89:4 (89:5) For ever will I establish thy seed, and build up thy throne to all generations.' Selah

89:5 (89:6) So shall the heavens praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

89:6 (89:7) For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD, who among the sons of might can be likened unto the LORD,

89:7 (89:8) A God dreaded in the great council of the holy ones, and feared of all them that are about Him?

89:8 (89:9) O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto Thee, O LORD? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

89:9 (89:10) Thou rulest the proud swelling of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

89:10 (89:11) Thou didst crush Rahab, as one that is slain; Thou didst scattered Thine enemies with the arm of Thy strength.

89:11 (89:12) Thine are the heavens, Thine also the earth; the world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.

89:12 (89:13) The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Thy name.

89:13 (89:14) Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.

89:14 (89:15) Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; mercy and truth go before Thee.

89:15 (89:16) Happy is the people that know the joyful shout; they walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance.

89:16 (89:17) In Thy name do they rejoice all the day; and through Thy righteousness are they exalted.

89:17 (89:18) For Thou art the glory of their strength; and in Thy favour our horn is exalted.

89:18 (89:19) For of the LORD is our shield; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

89:19 (89:20) Then Thou spokest in vision to Thy godly ones, and saidst: 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

89:20 (89:21) I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him;

89:21 (89:22) With whom My hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

89:22 (89:23) The enemy shall not exact from him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

89:23 (89:24) And I will beat to pieces his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him.

89:24 (89:25) But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him; and through My name shall his horn be exalted.

89:25 (89:26) I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.

89:26 (89:27) He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

89:27 (89:28) I also will appoint him first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.

89:28 (89:29) For ever will I keep for him My mercy, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.

89:29 (89:30) His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

89:30 (89:31) If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;

89:31 (89:32) If they profane My statutes, and keep not My commandments;

89:32 (89:33) Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.

89:33 (89:34) But My mercy will I not break off from him, nor will I be false to My faithfulness.

89:34 (89:35) My covenant will I not profane, nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.

89:35 (89:36) Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;

89:36 (89:37) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

89:37 (89:38) It shall be established for ever as the moon; and be stedfast as the witness in sky.' Selah

89:38 (89:39) But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.

89:39 (89:40) Thou hast abhorred the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

89:40 (89:41) Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

89:41 (89:42) All that pass by the way spoil him; he is become a taunt to his neighbours.

89:42 (89:43) Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

89:43 (89:44) Yea, Thou turnest back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

89:44 (89:45) Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

89:45 (89:46) The days of his youth hast Thou shortened; Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

89:46 (89:47) How long, O LORD, wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? How long shall Thy wrath burn like fire?

89:47 (89:48) O remember how short my time is; for what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men!

89:48 (89:49) What man is he that liveth and shall not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of the grave? Selah

89:49 (89:50) Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness?

89:50 (89:51) Remember, Lord, the taunt of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the taunt of so many peoples;

89:51 (89:52) Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed.

89:52 (89:53) Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV

2005-05-23T14:53:00.001-07:00

88:1 (88:1) A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. (88:2) O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,

88:2 (88:3) Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.

88:3 (88:4) For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

88:4 (88:5) I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;

88:5 (88:6) Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.

88:6 (88:7) Thou hast laid me in the nether-most pit, in dark places, in the deeps.

88:7 (88:8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. Selah

88:8 (88:9) Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

88:9 (88:10) Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.

88:10 (88:11) Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? Selah

88:11 (88:12) Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?

88:12 (88:13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

88:13 (88:14) But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.

88:14 (88:15) LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?

88:15 (88:16) I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.

88:16 (88:17) Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.

88:17 (88:18) They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.

88:18 (88:19) Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

87:1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

87:3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God. Selah

87:4 'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

87:5 But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

87:6 The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' Selah

87:7 And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.

86:1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.

2005-05-23T14:52:00.002-07:00

86:1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.

86:2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

86:3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.

86:4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

86:5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.

86:7 In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.

86:8 There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.

86:9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.

86:10 For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone.

86:11 Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.

86:12 I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

86:13 For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world.

86:14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them.

86:15 But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

86:16 O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.

86:17 Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

2005-05-23T14:52:00.001-07:00

85:1 (85:5) For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (85:2) LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

85:2 (85:3) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah

85:3 (85:4) Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

85:4 (85:5) Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

85:5 (85:6) Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

85:6 (85:7) Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

85:7 (85:8) Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.

85:8 (85:9) I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

85:9 (85:10) Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.

85:10 (85:11) Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

85:11 (85:12) Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

85:12 (85:13) Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

85:13 (85:14) Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.

84:1 (84:1) For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (84:2) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

2005-05-23T14:52:00.000-07:00

84:1 (84:1) For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (84:2) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

84:2 (84:3) My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.

84:3 (84:4) Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God--.

84:4 (84:5) Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah

84:5 (84:6) Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.

84:6 (84:7) Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.

84:7 (84:8) They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

84:8 (84:9) O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

84:9 (84:10) Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.

84:10 (84:11) For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

84:11 (84:12) For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

84:12 (84:13) O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.

83:1 (83:1) A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. (83:2) O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2005-05-23T14:51:00.002-07:00

83:1 (83:1) A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. (83:2) O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

83:2 (83:3) For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

83:3 (83:4) They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

83:4 (83:5) They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

83:5 (83:6) For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

83:6 (83:7) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

83:7 (83:8) Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

83:8 (83:9) Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

83:9 (83:10) Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

83:10 (83:11) Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

83:11 (83:12) Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

83:12 (83:13) Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'

83:13 (83:14) O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.

83:14 (83:15) As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

83:15 (83:16) So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

83:16 (83:17) Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

83:17 (83:18) Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

83:18 (83:19) That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.

82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

2005-05-23T14:51:00.001-07:00

82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

82:2 'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

82:3 Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

82:4 Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

82:5 They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

82:6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

82:7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.

81:1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. (81:2) Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.

2005-05-23T14:51:00.000-07:00

81:1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. (81:2) Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.

81:2 (81:3) Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.

81:3 (81:4) Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.

81:4 (81:5) For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

81:5 (81:6) He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:

81:6 (81:7) 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.

81:7 (81:8) Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

81:8 (81:9) Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!

81:9 (81:10) There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

81:10 (81:11) I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

81:11 (81:12) But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.

81:12 (81:13) So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.

81:13 (81:14) Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!

81:14 (81:15) I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.

81:15 (81:16) The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.

81:16 (81:17) They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'

2005-05-23T14:50:00.001-07:00

80:1 (80:1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A testimony. A Psalm of Asaph. (80:2) Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.

80:2 (80:3) Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Thy might, and come to save us.

80:3 (80:4) O God, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

80:4 (80:5) O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?

80:5 (80:6) Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

80:6 (80:7) Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours; and our enemies mock as they please.

80:7 (80:8) O God of hosts, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

80:8 (80:9) Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it.

80:9 (80:10) Thou didst clear a place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.

80:10 (80:11) The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof.

80:11 (80:12) She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.

80:12 (80:13) Why hast Thou broken down her fences, so that all they that pass by the way do pluck her?

80:13 (80:14) The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, that which moveth in the field feedeth on it.

80:14 (80:15) O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,

80:15 (80:16) And of the stock which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself.

80:16 (80:17) It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance.

80:17 (80:18) Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself.

80:18 (80:19) So shall we not turn back from Thee; quicken Thou us, and we will call upon Thy name.

80:19 (80:20) O LORD God of hosts, restore us; cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.

2005-05-23T14:50:00.000-07:00

79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.

79:2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

79:3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.

79:4 We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

79:5 How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?

79:6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.

79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.

79:8 Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.

79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.

79:10 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.

79:11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;

79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.

79:13 So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever; we will tell of Thy praise to all generations.

78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

78:2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old;

78:3 That which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us,

78:4 We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.

78:5 For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; who should arise and tell them to their children,

78:7 That they might put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments;

78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

78:9 The children of Ephraim were as archers handling the bow, that turned back in the day of battle.

78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in His law;

78:11 And they forgot His doings, and His wondrous works that He had shown them.

78:12 Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

78:13 He cleaved the sea, and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters to stand as a heap.

78:14 By day also He led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

78:15 He cleaved rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the great deep.

78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

78:17 Yet went they on still to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

78:18 And they tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.

78:19 Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

78:20 Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can He give bread also? or will He provide flesh for His people?'

78:21 Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;

78:22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.

78:23 And He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;

78:24 And He caused manna to rain upon them for food, and gave them of the corn of heaven.

78:25 Man did eat the bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to the full.

78:26 He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven; and by His power He brought on the south wind.

78:27 He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas;

78:28 And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their dwellings.

78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled; and He gave them that which they craved.

78:30 They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,

78:31 When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.

78:33 Therefore He ended their days as a breath, and their years in terror.

78:34 When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.

78:35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.

78:36 But they beguiled Him with their mouth, and lied unto Him with their tongue.

78:37 For their heart was not stedfast with Him, neither were they faithful in His covenant.

78:38 But He, being full of compassion, forgiveth iniquity, and destroyeth not; yea, many a time doth He turn His anger away, and doth not stir up all His wrath.

78:39 So He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

78:40 How oft did they rebel against Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert!

78:41 And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.

78:42 They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary.

78:43 How He set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan;

78:44 And turned their rivers into blood, so that they could not drink their streams.

78:45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.

78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-trees with frost.

78:48 He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to fiery bolts.

78:49 He sent forth upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a sending of messengers of evil.

78:50 He levelled a path for His anger; He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

78:51 And smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

78:52 But He made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

78:53 And He led them safely, and they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

78:54 And He brought them to His holy border, to the mountain, which His right hand had gotten.

78:55 He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

78:56 Yet they tried and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not His testimonies;

78:57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

78:58 For they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.

78:59 God heard, and was wroth, and He greatly abhorred Israel;

78:60 And He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He had made to dwell among men;

78:61 And delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the adversary's hand.

78:62 He gave His people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with His inheritance.

78:63 Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins had no marriage-song.

78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

78:65 Then the Lord awaked as one asleep, like a mighty man recovering from wine.

78:66 And He smote His adversaries backward; He put upon them a perpetual reproach.

78:67 Moreover He abhorred the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;

78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which He loved.

78:69 And He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which He hath founded for ever.

78:70 He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

78:71 From following the ewes that give suck He brought him, to be shepherd over Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.

78:72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart; and lead them by the skilfulness of his hands.

77:1 (77:1) For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. (77:2) I will lift up my voice unto God, an cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He

2005-05-23T14:49:00.001-07:00

77:1 (77:1) For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. (77:2) I will lift up my voice unto God, an cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.

77:2 (77:3) In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.

77:3 (77:4) When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah

77:4 (77:5) Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.

77:5 (77:6) I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

77:6 (77:7) In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:

77:7 (77:8) 'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?

77:8 (77:9) Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?

77:9 (77:10) Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' Selah

77:10 (77:11) And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.

77:11 (77:12) I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.

77:12 (77:13) I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'

77:13 (77:14) O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?

77:14 (77:15) Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.

77:15 (77:16) Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

77:16 (77:17) The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.

77:17 (77:18) The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.

77:18 (77:19) The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

77:19 (77:20) Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.

77:20 (77:21) Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

76:1 (76:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. (76:2) In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

2005-05-23T14:49:00.000-07:00

76:1 (76:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. (76:2) In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

76:2 (76:3) In Salem also is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Zion.

76:3 (76:4) There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah

76:4 (76:5) Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.

76:5 (76:6) The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

76:6 (76:7) At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.

76:7 (76:8) Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?

76:8 (76:9) Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

76:9 (76:10) When God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

76:10 (76:11) Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

76:11 (76:12) Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;

76:12 (76:13) He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

75:1 (75:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. (75:2) We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men t

2005-05-23T14:48:00.002-07:00

75:1 (75:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. (75:2) We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.

75:2 (75:3) 'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.

75:3 (75:4) When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' Selah

75:4 (75:5) I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'

75:5 (75:6) Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.

75:6 (75:7) For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.

75:7 (75:8) For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

75:8 (75:9) For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

75:9 (75:10) But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

75:10 (75:11) All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

74:1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?

2005-05-23T14:48:00.001-07:00

74:1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?

74:2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.

74:3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

74:4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.

74:5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.

74:6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.

74:7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.

74:8 They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.

74:9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

74:10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?

74:11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.

74:12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

74:13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

74:14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.

74:15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

74:16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.

74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.

74:18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.

74:19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.

74:20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

74:21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.

74:22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.

74:23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.

73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.

2005-05-23T14:48:00.000-07:00

73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.

73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

73:3 For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

73:4 For there are no pangs at their death, and their body is sound.

73:5 In the trouble of man they are not; neither are they plagued like men.

73:6 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.

73:7 Their eyes stand forth from fatness; they are gone beyond the imaginations of their heart.

73:8 They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression; they speak as if there were none on high.

73:9 They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

73:10 Therefore His people return hither; and waters of fullness are drained out by them.

73:11 And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

73:12 Behold, such are the wicked; and they that are always at ease increase riches.

73:13 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency;

73:14 For all the day have I been plagued, and my chastisement came every morning.

73:15 If I had said: 'I will speak thus', behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children.

73:16 And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;

73:17 Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end.

73:18 Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.

73:19 How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.

73:20 As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.

73:21 For my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins.

73:22 But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.

73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.

73:24 Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.

73:25 Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.

73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.

73:27 For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee.

73:28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works.

72:1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

2005-05-23T14:47:00.001-07:00

72:1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

72:2 That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.

72:3 Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.

72:4 May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.

72:5 They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

72:6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

72:7 In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

72:8 May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.

72:9 Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.

72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

72:11 Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.

72:12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

72:13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.

72:14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight.

72:15 That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.

72:16 May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.

72:17 May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.

72:18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;

72:19 And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. BOOK III

71:1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.

2005-05-23T14:47:00.000-07:00

71:1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.

71:2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.

71:3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.

71:4 O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

71:5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.

71:6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.

71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.

71:8 My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.

71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.

71:10 For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

71:11 Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'

71:12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

71:13 Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.

71:14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.

71:15 My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

71:16 I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.

71:17 O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.

71:18 And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?

71:20 Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me.

71:22 I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.

71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.

71:24 My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.

70:1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

2005-05-23T14:45:00.000-07:00

70:1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

70:2 Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

70:3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'

70:4 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.'

70:5 But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.

69:1 (69:1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. (69:2) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.

2005-05-23T14:44:00.001-07:00

69:1 (69:1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. (69:2) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.

69:2 (69:3) I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.

69:3 (69:4) I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

69:4 (69:5) They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?

69:5 (69:6) O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.

69:6 (69:7) Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel.

69:7 (69:8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

69:8 (69:9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

69:9 (69:10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.

69:10 (69:11) And I wept with my soul with fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.

69:11 (69:12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.

69:12 (69:13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.

69:13 (69:14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.

69:14 (69:15) 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.

69:15 (69:16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

69:16 (69:17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.

69:17 (69:18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

69:18 (69:19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.

69:19 (69:20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.

69:20 (69:21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

69:21 (69:22) Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

69:22 (69:23) Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

69:23 (69:24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.

69:24 (69:25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.

69:25 (69:26) Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.

69:26 (69:27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.

69:27 (69:28) Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.

69:28 (69:29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

69:29 (69:30) But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

69:30 (69:31) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

69:31 (69:32) And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

69:32 (69:33) The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.

69:33 (69:34) For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.

69:34 (69:35) Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

69:35 (69:36) For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

69:36 (69:37) The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.

68:1 (68:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song. (68:2) Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee before Him.

2005-05-23T14:44:00.000-07:00

68:1 (68:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song. (68:2) Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee before Him.

68:2 (68:3) As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

68:3 (68:4) But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God; yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

68:4 (68:5) Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the LORD; and exult ye before Him.

68:5 (68:6) A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.

68:6 (68:7) God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; the rebellious dwell but in a parched land.

68:7 (68:8) O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

68:8 (68:9) The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

68:9 (68:10) A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.

68:10 (68:11) Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.

68:11 (68:12) The Lord giveth the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.

68:12 (68:13) Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

68:13 (68:14) When ye lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with the shimmer of gold.

68:14 (68:15) When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, it snoweth in Zalmon.

68:15 (68:16) A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

68:16 (68:17) Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, at the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever.

68:17 (68:18) The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.

68:18 (68:19) Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.

68:19 (68:20) Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. Selah

68:20 (68:21) God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death.

68:21 (68:22) Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.

68:22 (68:23) The Lord said: 'I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

68:23 (68:24) That thy foot may wade through blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.'

68:24 (68:25) They see Thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness.

68:25 (68:26) The singers go before, the minstrels follow after, in the midst of damsels playing upon timbrels.

68:26 (68:27) 'Bless ye God in full assemblies, even the Lord, ye that are from the fountain of Israel.'

68:27 (68:28) There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah their council, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

68:28 (68:29) Thy God hath commanded thy strength; be strong, O God, Thou that hast wrought for us

68:29 (68:30) Out of Thy temple at Jerusalem, whither kings shall bring presents unto Thee.

68:30 (68:31) Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war!

68:31 (68:32) Nobles shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands unto God.

68:32 (68:33) Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah

68:33 (68:34) To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, He uttereth His voice, a mighty voice.

68:34 (68:35) Ascribe ye strength unto God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength is in the skies.

68:35 (68:36) Awful is God out of thy holy places; the God of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto the people; blessed be God.

67:1 (67:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm, a Song. (67:2) God be gracious unto us, and bless us; may He cause His face to shine toward us

2005-05-23T14:43:00.002-07:00

67:1 (67:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm, a Song. (67:2) God be gracious unto us, and bless us; may He cause His face to shine toward us; Selah

67:2 (67:3) That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.

67:3 (67:4) Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God; let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.

67:4 (67:5) O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, and lead the nations upon earth. Selah

67:5 (67:6) Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, O God; let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, all of them.

67:6 (67:7) The earth hath yielded her increase; may God, our own God, bless us.

67:7 (67:8) May God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear Him.

66:1 For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

2005-05-23T14:43:00.001-07:00

66:1 For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

66:2 Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

66:3 Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.

66:4 All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah

66:5 Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

66:6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!

66:7 Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

66:8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;

66:9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,

66:10 For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

66:11 Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.

66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.

66:13 I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,

66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

66:15 I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

66:16 Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

66:17 I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

66:18 If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;

66:19 But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

66:20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.

65:1 (65:1) For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. (65:2) Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

2005-05-23T14:43:00.000-07:00

65:1 (65:1) For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. (65:2) Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

65:2 (65:3) O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.

65:3 (65:4) The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.

65:4 (65:5) Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!

65:5 (65:6) With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

65:6 (65:7) Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

65:7 (65:8) Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;

65:8 (65:9) So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

65:9 (65:10) Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

65:10 (65:11) Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.

65:11 (65:12) Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

65:12 (65:13) The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.

65:13 (65:14) The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

64:1 (64:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64:2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

2005-05-23T14:42:00.001-07:00

64:1 (64:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64:2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

64:2 (64:3) Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

64:3 (64:4) Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

64:4 (64:5) That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

64:5 (64:6) They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

64:6 (64:7) They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

64:7 (64:8) But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

64:8 (64:9) So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

64:9 (64:10 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

64:10 (64:11) The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

63:1 (63:1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. (63:2) O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for

2005-05-23T14:42:00.000-07:00

63:1 (63:1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. (63:2) O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

63:2 (63:3) So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

63:3 (63:4) For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

63:4 (63:5) So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

63:5 (63:6) My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

63:6 (63:7) When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

63:7 (63:8) For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

63:8 (63:9) My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

63:9 (63:10) But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

63:10 (63:11) They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.

63:11 (63:12) But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

62:1 (62:1) For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. (62:2) Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

2005-05-23T14:41:00.002-07:00

62:1 (62:1) For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. (62:2) Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

62:2 (62:3) He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

62:3 (62:4) How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

62:4 (62:5) They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

62:5 (62:6) Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

62:6 (62:7) He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

62:7 (62:8) Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

62:8 (62:9) Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

62:9 (62:10) Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

62:10 (62:11) Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

62:11 (62:12) God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

62:12 (62:13) Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.

61:1 (61:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. (61:2) Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2005-05-23T14:41:00.001-07:00

61:1 (61:1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. (61:2) Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

61:2 (61:3) From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

61:3 (61:4) For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

61:4 (61:5) I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah

61:5 (61:6) For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

61:6 (61:7) Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

61:7 (61:8) May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

61:8 (61:9) So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

60:1 (60:1) For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; (60:2) when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab ret

2005-05-23T14:41:00.000-07:00

60:1 (60:1) For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; (60:2) when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. (60:3) O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.

60:2 (60:4) Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

60:3 (60:5) Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

60:4 (60:6) Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

60:5 (60:7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

60:6 (60:8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

60:7 (60:9) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

60:8 (60:10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!

60:9 (60:11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

60:10 (60:12) Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

60:11 (60:13) Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

60:12 (60:14) Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.

59:1 (59:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. (59:2) Deliver me from min

2005-05-23T14:40:00.001-07:00

59:1 (59:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. (59:2) Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.

59:2 (59:3) Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.

59:3 (59:4) For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

59:4 (59:5) Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.

59:5 (59:6) Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah

59:6 (59:7) They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

59:7 (59:8) Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'

59:8 (59:9) But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.

59:9 (59:10) Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.

59:10 (59:11) The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.

59:11 (59:12) Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

59:12 (59:13) 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.

59:13 (59:14) Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah

59:14 (59:15) And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;

59:15 (59:16) They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.

59:16 (59:17) But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.

59:17 (59:18) O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

58:1 (58:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. (58:2) Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons

2005-05-23T14:40:00.000-07:00

58:1 (58:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. (58:2) Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?

58:2 (58:3) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.

58:3 (58:4) The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

58:4 (58:5) Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

58:5 (58:6) Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.

58:6 (58:7) Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

58:7 (58:8) Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

58:8 (58:9) Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.

58:9 (58:10) Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.

58:10 (58:11) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

58:11 (58:12) And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'

57:1 (57:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. (57:2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be graciou

2005-05-23T14:39:00.001-07:00

57:1 (57:1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. (57:2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.

57:2 (57:3) I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.

57:3 (57:4) He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

57:4 (57:5) My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

57:5 (57:6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.

57:6 (57:7) They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

57:7 (57:8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

57:8 (57:9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

57:9 (57:10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

57:10 (57:11) For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.

57:11 (57:12) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.

56:1 (56:1) For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. (56:2) Be gracious unto me, O

2005-05-23T14:39:00.000-07:00

56:1 (56:1) For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. (56:2) Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

56:2 (56:3) They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

56:3 (56:4) In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

56:4 (56:5) In God--I will praise His word--in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

56:5 (56:6) All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

56:6 (56:7) They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

56:7 (56:8) Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

56:8 (56:9) Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?

56:9 (56:10) Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

56:10 (56:11) In God--I will praise His word--in the LORD--I will praise His word--

56:11 (56:12) In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

56:12 (56:13) Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

56:13 (56:14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

55:1 (55:1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. (55:2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.

2005-05-23T14:38:00.000-07:00

55:1 (55:1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. (55:2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.

55:2 (55:3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;

55:3 (55:4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.

55:4 (55:5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

55:5 (55:6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

55:6 (55:7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.

55:7 (55:8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah

55:8 (55:9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'

55:9 (55:10) Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

55:10 (55:11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

55:11 (55:12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.

55:12 (55:13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.

55:13 (55:14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;

55:14 (55:15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.

55:15 (55:16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.

55:16 (55:17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

55:17 (55:18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.

55:18 (55:19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.

55:19 (55:20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.

55:20 (55:21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

55:21 (55:22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.

55:22 (55:23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

55:23 (55:24) But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.

54:1 (54:1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: (54:2) when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?

2005-05-23T14:36:00.001-07:00

54:1 (54:1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: (54:2) when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' (54:3) O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

54:2 (54:4) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

54:3 (54:5) For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah

54:4 (54:6) Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

54:5 (54:7) He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

54:6 (54:8) With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

54:7 (54:9) For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.

53:1 (53:1) For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. (53:2) The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and

2005-05-23T14:36:00.000-07:00

53:1 (53:1) For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. (53:2) The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

53:2 (53:3) God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

53:3 (53:4) Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

53:4 (53:5) 'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?'

53:5 (53:6) There are they in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

53:6 (53:7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

52:1 (52:1) For the Leader. Maschil of David; (52:2) when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahime

2005-05-23T14:35:00.001-07:00

52:1 (52:1) For the Leader. Maschil of David; (52:2) when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' (52:3) Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

52:2 (52:4) Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

52:3 (52:5) Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

52:4 (52:6) Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue.

52:5 (52:7) God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

52:6 (52:8) The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

52:7 (52:9) 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.'

52:8 (52:10) But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

52:9 (52:11) I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

51:1 (51:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David; (51:2) When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. (51:3) Be gracious unt

2005-05-23T14:35:00.000-07:00

51:1 (51:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David; (51:2) When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. (51:3) Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.

51:2 (51:4) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

51:3 (51:5) For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.

51:4 (51:6) Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.

51:5 (51:7) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

51:6 (51:8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

51:7 (51:9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

51:8 (51:10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

51:9 (51:11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

51:10 (51:12) Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.

51:11 (51:13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

51:12 (51:14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.

51:13 (51:15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.

51:14 (51:16) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.

51:15 (51:17) O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.

51:16 (51:18) For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

51:17 (51:19) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

51:18 (51:20) Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

51:19 (51:21) Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
